Patent attributes
A holder for holding a portable device on an air-outlet grille of a vehicle. The holder includes a body portion having a fixed pad supporting one side of the portable device; a moving portion having a moving pad that is linearly movable between first and second positions; an elastic plate that restricts movement of the moving pad at the second position; a depressible button to release the moving pad from a fixed state to a movable state. The moving pad contacts the opposite side of the portable device which is then retained between the fixed and moving pads. A tongs portion, having a tongs clip, a coupling clip, and a tongs holder, secures the body portion to the air-outlet grille. A spring compressed when the moving pad moves from first to second position, moves the moving pad back towards the first position when the button is depressed.
