Abstract

To enable a portable information terminal to be freely held at a position desired by a user, a holding base capable of holding one of a first portable information terminal and a second portable information terminal that is larger than the first portable information terminal includes a holding base main body having a main mounting surface inclined with respect to a horizontal surface. A terminal cover to be fixed to a lower end of the main mounting surface supports a lower end of the portable information terminal. An extensible holding member, which is provided on a first side edge portion side of the holding base main body and includes a slide plate that is slidable inside the holding base main body, has an extensible mounting surface that is movable in parallel to the main mounting surface and is capable of holding the second portable information terminal when the extensible holding member is extended to a predetermined extension position. A plurality of cradle tabs provided on the main mounting surface are brought into a state of being embedded below the main mounting surface when the plurality of cradle tabs are folded, and are projected above the main mounting surface when the plurality of cradle tabs are raised, thereby being capable of supporting a lower end of the first portable information terminal on the main mounting surface.
