Abstract
A docking station (10) for an elongate rectangular mobile device. A first adjustable slide clamp member (14) is fitted in aperture (28) and is capable of adjustment in one direction. A second adjustable rotate clamp member (16) has a plug (85) for interconnection with a socket of the mobile device. The slide clamp member (14) has a clamp surface (32) and comprises a ratchet arm (26). The rotate clamp member also has a clamp surface (32c) and is rotatably disposed with respect to the body so that it can rotate between two positions. In a first position the clamp surface is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the slide clamp (14). In a second position it is parallel to that direction. In the second position, it opens a second aperture opposite the rotate clamp member and in which the slide clamp member can be inserted.
