Abstract

See full text

A receptacle or cradle (11) for receiving a mobile telephone (22) or other electrical or electronic device is disclosed. The receptacle (11) comprises a base unit (12) and a carriage moveable (13) with respect to the base unit (12) for receiving the mobile telephone (22) or other device. The base unit (12) is provided with suitable electrical contact terminals (20) for connection with corresponding electrical contact terminals (21) of the mobile telephone (22). The carriage (13) is restrained from movement in a first receiving position to receive the mobile telephone (22) and the contact terminals (20) of the unit (12) are protected or shielded from damge by virtue of being excluded from making contact with the corresponding contact terminals (21) of the telephone (22) until a predetermined aligment of the telephone (22) relative to the unit (12) is achieved. The carriage (13) has disengagement means associated with it in order to allow travel of the carriage (13) once the predetermined alignment of the telephone (22) is achieved, whereupon the carriage (13) is free to travel to a second in use position in which contact between the contact terminals (21) of the telephone (22) and unit (12) is achieved. The carriage (13) is once again restrained from movement in the second in use position to allow contact to be maintained. The carriage (13) has further disengagement means associated with it in order to release the carriage from its second is use position and thereby to release the mobile telephone (22) from the unit (12) as required.
