Abstract
A holder typically for a portable telephone comprises an upper housing and a lower housing, the latter being adapted for fixing to a surface or object. The upper housing comprises a support plate upon which the telephone may be located, and a pair of movable gripper members which urge the telephone against a fixed member so as to be held firmly therebetween. The distance between the fixed member and movable gripper members may be varied according to the dimensions of the telephone which the holder is receiving, and biasing means on the movable gripper members are provided to insure that there is sufficient force to firmly hold the telephone in the holder between the movable and fixed gripper members.
