T he support device 1 extends next to the cover 4 and forms the rear of the central console such that the support device is intended to be used by the rear passengers of the vehicle. It should be understood that the support device 1 could be placed on other kinds of trim elements, such as a dashboard, an armrest a door panel, a seat, etc.
The support device 1 comprises a receiving surface 6 intended to receive a mobile electronic device 8, as shown in F ig. 1 . By receive, it is meant that the mobile electronic device 8 extends over the receiving surface 6 when the support device 1 holds a mobile electronic device 8. The receiving surface 6 is formed by an inner face of a plate 10. The opposite face 1 1 of the plate 10 forms an external face of the support device for example having an aspect chosen to be in accordance with the aspect of the cover 4 of the trim element 2 since the external face is intended to be visible by the passengers of the vehicle.
The plate 10 is made of at least two parts such that the receiving surface 6 comprises a first part 12 and a second part 14 defining together the area of the receiving surface 6. The second part 14 is movable relative to the first part 12 such that the area of the receiving surface 6 can be adjusted by moving the second part 14 relative to the first part 12.T he second part 14 is for example movable in translation along an adjustment direction A relative to the first part 12 such that the area of the receiving surface 6 can be enlarged by spacing the second part 14 from the first part 12 and be reduced by bringing the second part 14 closer to the first part 12.
According to the embodiment shown in the figures, and as more particularly visible on F igs. 2 and 3, the first part 12 has a frame shape comprising an upper branch 16 and two lateral branches 18 extending at each end of the upper branch 16. T he lateral branches extend substantially along the adjustment direction A and the upper branch 1 6 extends substantially perpendicularly to the adjustment direction A between upper ends of the lateral branches. T he upper branch 16 and the lateral branches 18 define between them a space receiving in a movable manner the second part 14 of the receiving surface 6. The second part 14 has a shape which is substantially complementary to the shape of the space defined between the upper branch 1 6 and the lateral branches 18, for example a rectangular shape. The second part 14 is mounted on the lateral branches 18 in a
slidable manner, meaning that the lateral branches 18 form guiding rails on which two opposite lateral edges 20 of the second part 14 are able to slide along the adjustment direction A, as shown in F igs. 2 and 3. More particularly, the second part 14 can move between two end positions:
- in the first end position shown in F ig. 2, the second part 14 completely extends in the space defined between the upper branch 16 and the lateral branches 18 and the upper edge 22 of the second part 12 is applied against the upper branch 16 of the first part 12;
- in the second end position shown in F ig. 3, the second part 14 protrudes from the space defined between the upper branch 16 and the lateral branches 18 in the adjustment direction A and the upper edge 22 of the second part 14 is spaced from the upper branch 1 6 of the first part 12.
This means that the area of the receiving surface 6 is minimal in the first end position and maximal in the second end position. T he area of the receiving surface can be varied between these minimal and maximal dimensions by moving the second part 14 relative to the first part 12 between these first and second end positions. In the first end position, the receiving surface 6 occupies a minimal space in the adjustment direction A.
The lateral branches 18 of the first part 12 and the lateral edges 20 of the second part 14 are for example provided with appropriate abutment means for defining the second end position and are shaped appropriately to maintain the position of the second part 14 relative to the first part 12 in any positions between the first and second end positions.
The first part 12 and the second part 14 could have a different structure. For example, the first part 12 and the second part 14 could overlap each other in the first end position or the second part 14 could be a telescopic part extending inside a housing formed by the first part 12 in the first end position.
The support device further comprises two holding elements, i.e. a first holding element 24 and a second holding element 26, for holding the mobile electronic device 8 on the receiving surface 6, as shown in F ig. 1. T he first holding element 24 and the second holding element 26 are arranged to be applied against opposite edges of the mobile electronic device 8 and have a shape adapted to prevent the electronic device 8 from falling from the receiving surface 6. To this end, each holding element 24, 26 for example has a holding surface 28 protruding substantially perpendicularly from the receiving surface 6, the holding surfaces 28 of the holding elements 24, 26 facing each other, as shown in F ig. 6. E ach holding surface 28 is applied against an opposite edge of the electronic device 8 to maintain the electronic device between the holding surfaces 28.
For example, when the electronic device 8 is held in landscape position, as shown in F ig. 1 , the holding elements 24, 26 and their holding surfaces 28 are applied against the lateral edges of the electronic device 8. When the electronic device 8 is held in portrait position, the holding elements 24, 26 and their holding surfaces 28 are applied against the upper and lower edges of the electronic device 8.
The first holding element 24 is attached to the first part 12 of the receiving surface 6. According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the first holding element 24 extends along the upper branch 16 of the first part 12. This means that the receiving surface 6 is limited by the holding surface 28 of the first holding element 24, as shown in F igs. 2, 3, 5 and 6. For example, the first holding element 24 extends along the whole length of the upper branch 1 6, i.e. from one lateral branch 18 to the other. The first holding element 24 is immovable relative to the first part 12. The first holding element 24 is for example made integral with the first part 12.
The second holding element 26 extends on the second part 14 of the receiving surface 6 and is movable relative to said second part 14 and therefore relative to the receiving surface 6. More particularly, the second holding element 26 is movable in translation relative the second part 14 along the adjustment direction A. To this end, the second holding element 26 is mounted in a slidable manner on the second part 14. For example, the second part comprises two slots 30 extending in the adjustment direction A and each receiving a guiding pin provided at each lateral end of the second holding element 26. E ach guiding pin is able to slide in the slot 30 in which it is placed, such that the second holding element 26 can move in the adjustment direction A. By moving the second holding element 26 in the adjustment direction A, the distance between the first holding element 24 and the second holding element 26 can be adjusted, meaning that the distance between the holding elements 24, 26 can be adapted to various dimensions of electronic devices.
By providing an adjustable area of the receiving surface 6 and an adjustable distance between the holding elements 24, 26, electronic devices in a large range of dimensions can be received by the support device according to the invention.
For example, by placing the second part 14 in the first end position, the second holding element 26 can be displaced to be adjusted to the dimensions of various mobile phones either in a portrait or in a landscape position. By placing the second part 14 in the second end position, the second holding element 24 can be displaced to be adjusted to the dimensions of various tablets either in a portrait or in a landscape position. Between the first end position and the second end position, the support device 1 can be placed in various positions depending on the dimensions of the electronic device 8 to be received
by the support device 1. Consequently, the support device 1 according to the invention is adapted to receive all kinds of mobile electronic devices, notwithstanding the large range of dimensions of these mobile electronic devices.
It is to be understood that the structure of the support device 1 described above can vary. For example, the movable holding element could be placed on the first part of the receiving surface 6 and the immovable holding element could be placed on the second part of the receiving surface. Alternatively, both holding elements could be movable relative to the receiving surface 6.
The support device according to the invention is, according to an embodiment, a foldable support device 1, meaning that the receiving surface 6 and the holding elements 24, 26 can be hidden and be accessible only when the support device 1 is to be used.
To this end, the support device 1 for example comprises a holding frame 32 on which the receiving surface 6 is mounted in a movable manner. The holding frame 32 comprises a lower branch 34 and two lateral branches 36 extending at each end of the lower branch 34. The lower branch 34 is substantially parallel to the upper branch 16 of the first part 12 and the lateral branches 36 are substantially parallel to the lateral branches 18 of the first part 12 and extend on either sides of the receiving surface 6. The lateral branches 18 of the first part 12 are each mounted movable in rotation on one the lateral branches 36 of the holding frame 32 around a first rotation axis Ri. The first rotation axis Ri is substantially parallel to the upper branch 16 of the first part 12 and to the lower branch 34 of the frame 32. The lower branch 34 and the lateral branches 36 define between them a space having substantially the size of the plate 10 on which the receiving surface 6 extends, when the receiving surface 6 is in the first end position. The plate 10 and hence the receiving surface 6 are movable in rotation relative to the holding frame 32 around the first rotation axis Ri between a folded position (Fig.4), wherein the receiving surface 6 in the first end position is received in the space defined between the lower branch 34 and the lateral branches 36, and an extended position (Figs 1 to 3); wherein the receiving surface 6 extends out of the space defined between the lower branch 34 and the lateral branches 36 in the adjustment direction A. The holding frame 32 can be arranged on the trim element 2 such that, in the folded position, the opposite face 11 of the plate 10 is visible from the vehicle compartment while the receiving surface 6 is applied against the trim element 2 and is not visible from the vehicle compartment. When the support element 1 is arranged next to the cover 4 of the central console, the opposite face 11 for example extends in the continuity of the cover 4 as shown in Fig.4 when the receiving surface is in the folded position. In this case, the central console has a pleasant aspect when the opposite face 11 has an aspect in accordance with the aspect of the cover 4 of the trim
element 2, as described previously. F rom the folded position to the extended position, the receiving surface 6 for example moves in an anticlockwise direction.
According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the support device 1 further comprises a base 38 on which the holding frame 32 is mounted in rotation around a second rotation axis R2. T he second rotation axis R2 is substantia lly pa rallel to the first rotation axis R i. T he base 38 is for example a part of the trim panel 2 or is a pa rt attached to the trim pa nel 2. T he lower branch 34 of the holding fra me 32 is movable in rotation a round the second rotation axis R2 relative to the base 38 between a folded position ( F ig. 4), wherein the holding fra me 32 extends against the base 38, and an extended position ( F igs. 1 to 3), wherein the holding frame 32 protrudes from the base 38. F rom the folded position to the extended position, the holding frame 32 moves in an opposite direction compared to the receiving surface 6, i.e. in a clockwise direction when the receiving surface 6 moves in a n anti-clockwise direction.
In the folded position, the base a nd he holding frame 32 are arranged such that the receiving surface 6 in the folded position is applied aga inst a n upper face 40 of the base a nd the externa l face 1 1 of the plate 10 forms the only visible face of the support device, as shown in F ig. 4. In the extended position of both the holding frame 32 a nd of the receiving surface 6, the electronic device 8 can be received by the support device 1 a nd is particula rly visible from the vehicle compartment since the receiving surface 6 is raised at the end of the holding frame 32 as shown in F ig. 1. Between the folded position a nd the extended position, various orientations of the receiving surface 6 ca n be chosen, as shown in F igs. 5 and 6 such that the visibility of the electronic device 8 can be adjusted to the preferences of the passengers.
In order to further improve the choices in the orientation of the receiving surface 6, according to a n embodiment, the holding fra me 32 is further mounted movable in rotation a round a third rotation axis R 3 relative to the base 38. T he third rotation axis R 3 is substa ntia lly perpendicular to the first and second rotation axes R i and R2, as shown in F ig. 7. In this ma nner, the vertica l orientation of the receiving surface can be chosen by rotating the receiving surface 6 and/or the holding frame 32 around rotation axes R 1 a nd R 2 and the left-right orientation of the receiving surface 6 can be chosen by rotating the holding frame 32 around the third rotation axis R 3, as understood from F ig. 7.
According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the base 38 is further a telescopic part comprising a fixed pa rt 42 and a movable part 44. T he fixed pa rt 42 is attached in an immova ble manner to the trim element 2 and the movable part is mounted movable in translation on the fixed pa rt 42 between a retracted position (F igs. 1 to 5), wherein the movable part 44 extends over the fixed pa rt 42, and an extended position
(F igs. 6 and 7), wherein the movable part 44 protrudes from the fixed part 42. The holding frame 32 is mounted on the movable part 44 such that the holding frame 32 and the receiving surface 6 move with the movable part 44 relative to the fixed part 42. T he direction of the translation of the movable part 44 relative to the fixed part 42 is for example substantially perpendicular to the first, second and third rotation axes R 1 , R2 and R 3, such that displacing the movable part 44 between the retracted and the extended positions allows adjusting the position of the receiving surface 6 in the rear-front direction of the vehicle.
C onsequently, the support device 1 described above allows placing the mobile electronic device in a large range of positions such that the display of the mobile electronic device can be viewed from any place in the vehicle compartment in an optimal manner.
According to an embodiment, the base 38 is provided with at least one locking element 46 arranged to cooperate with at least one corresponding locking surface 48 provided on the receiving surface 6 when the receiving surface 6 and the holding frame 42 are in the folded position to maintain the support device 1 in the folded position as shown in F ig. 4. The locking element 46 is for example formed by a hook protruding from the upper face 40 of the base 38 and engaged in a corresponding aperture provided in the receiving surface 6 in the folded position of the receiving surface 6 and of the holding frame 32, the locking surface 48 being formed by an edge of this aperture. When the hook is engaged in the aperture, the locking element 46 is applied against the locking surface 48 and retains the receiving surface 6 and the holding frame 32 in the folded position. T he locking element 46 is movable in a release position, wherein the locking element 46 is spaced from the corresponding locking surface 48 to allow the holding frame 32 to move to the extended position. In the release position, the hook can move out of the aperture such that the holding frame 32 and the receiving surface 6 can move to the extended position.
According to an embodiment, the base 38 comprises an actuation element 50 arranged to move the locking element 46 in the release position when said actuation element 50 is actuated by a user. T he actuation element 50 is for example formed by a push-button that a user can press on a lateral face of the base 38, pressing the pushbutton causing the locking element 46 to move to the release position. The user can then move the reception surface 6 and the holding frame 32 to the extended position.
S everal locking elements 46 and corresponding locking surfaces 48 can be provided. T he actuation element 50 is then arranged to move all the locking elements 46 simultaneously to the release position when the actuation element 50 is actuated.
According to an embodiment the holding frame 32 and the reception surface 6 can be arranged to move automatically to an extended position when the actuation element 50 is actuated. In order to do so, biasing elements can be arranged around the first rotation axis R 1 and around the second rotation axis R2 to urge the reception surface 6 and the holding frame 32 towards the extended position such that when the locking element 46 does not cooperate with the corresponding locking surface 48, the holding frame 32 and the reception surface 6 are moved to the extended position under the force exerted by the biasing elements.
The support device 1 described above can therefore receive a large range of mobile electronic devices 8 and position the received electronic device in the wanted position by moving the reception surface 6, the holding frame 32 and the base 38 accordingly. F urthermore, in the folded position, the aspect of the support device is satisfactory since the support device 1 blends with the rest of the trim element.
