ABSTRACT:
A supporting mechanism for a vehicle mounting apparatus including a housing settable in a first posture and a second posture. In the first posture, a line extending along a predetermined direction is oriented in the direction of gravitational force. In the second posture, a line intersecting the line extending along the predetermined direction is oriented in the direction of gravitational force. The vehicle mounting apparatus further includes an apparatus body accommodated in the interior of the housing. The supporting mechanism includes a plurality of springs which resiliently connect the apparatus body to the housing. When the housing is in the first and second postures, at least two of the plurality of springs support the apparatus body with respect to the direction of gravitational force, and points connecting the two springs and the apparatus body are disposed on opposite sides of a vertical line passing through the center of gravity of the apparatus body. Therefore, the apparatus body, which does not easily tilt in either of the two housing postures, is stably resiliently supported.
