ABSTRACT:
A phone presentation device for holding and displaying a portable telephone handset within an automotive vehicle has a housing, an adjustable cradle attached to an inner surface of the housing, and a pivoting mount member for pivotally mounting the housing to a trim piece in the vehicle for movement between a stowed position hidden from view within a depression in the trim piece and a deployed position in which the handset is presented for use. The adjustable cradle has an elongate base member with a handset receiving section, a fixed grip mounted on a first end of the base member, an adjustable grip mounted on a second end of the base member for movement between a first position biasing the handset longitudinally toward the fixed grip and a second position in which the handset may be released from the fixed grip, and a pair of springs for biasing the adjustable grip between the first and second positions. The fixed grip is attached on the first end of the base member toward a free end of the housing movable out of the depression concealing the phone handset. The adjustable grip is mounted on the second end of the base member toward a mount end of the housing for movement between the first position and second positions to provide firm retention of the handset when the presentation device is pivoted from the stowed position to the deployed position.
