ABSTRACT:
A phone holder, or cradle, is provided having a latching mechanism that remains in an open position until a push button falls within a predetermined height of the cradle. Once this occurs, a hooked member is released from a stop coupled to a slide within the cradle, thereby allowing the hooked member to mate with a détente in an electronic device. In one embodiment, the latching mechanism includes a hooked member having a clasp, a slide, a push button with an inclined plane for actuating the slide and a plurality of springs. The latching mechanism prevents the clasp from riding along, and potentially marring, the surface of the electronic device.
