US Patent 7818035 Satellite phone holder

A satellite phone holder, particularly for mechanical vehicles, attachable to other electronic devices, particularly to a hands-free mobile phone kit. The holder comprises a locking module (2), composed of a disc (9) with a lever (10); this disc is located, by means of a ring (7), in a rotatable socket (3) in the base (1) and is provided with a rotatable plug (8), into which an antenna core (11) is inserted. On the bottom surface of the disc (9) there is an insert (14), which, when the locking module (2) is in “blocked” position, reflects the light from a photodiode (20) to a detector (21), which activates an electronic module (4) of the holder and switches between the mobile phone's operating modes.
