DEVICE FOR HOLDING A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, COMPRISING A BALL JOINT

摘要

The invention relates to a device (6) including a surface (32) for receiving the electronic apparatus (8) and a support base (4), said receiving surface (32) being connected to the head (26) of a spherical element (24) via a shaft (30) and said support base (4) including a cavity (10) comprising a hemispherical wall (18) having a shape that is substantially complementary to that of a portion (28) of the head (26) of the spherical element (24). The invention also includes a movable locking element (34) which, in a locking position, prevents the movement of the spherical element (24) relative to the support base (4). The locking element (34) is disposed between the receiving surface (32) and the hemispherical wall (18) of the cavity (10), and said element (34) includes a hole (46, 48), through which the shaft (30) extends, and gripping means (50).
