[Effect of the device]

 The present invention configured as described above has the following unique effects. Since the support arm that fixes the holder for the mobile phone to the pedestal has a flexible structure, even if the vehicle-mounted device is fixed in place, the mobile phone can be pulled and held in any position without being affected by it. Also, its direction and angle can be changed. As a result, it becomes possible not only for the driver but also for the passengers in the front passenger seat and the rear seat to hold the mobile phone at the position where it is most convenient to use. Also, due to the flexible structure of the support arm, the support arm will be flexible when an external force is applied to the mobile phone, so even if the driver or occupant collides with the mobile phone during a collision accident, the mobile phone or in-vehicle device may be injured or injured. There is no danger of being carried, and damage to the mobile phone is prevented. Since the bottom of the mobile phone is dropped into a sheath-shaped holder and inserted, unlike conventional devices that rely on engagement, it can be taken out and stored with a single touch, and the mobile phone can be distracted even while driving. Can be used. For the same reason, the mobile phone will be erected and its built-in antenna can be used as it is, and the position and angle of the mobile phone can be set arbitrarily, so that it can be used in the best condition. It becomes possible. For the same reason, the mobile phone will be erected, and compared to the case where it is held horizontally, there is much less chance of accidentally touching operation buttons with people or objects, eliminating the risk of malfunction. For the same reason, the mobile phone will be erected and the surroundings will be opened, so a sufficient heat dissipation effect will be obtained, and due to the slidability effect described above, it will be possible to position it near the air outlet of the air conditioner in the summer, etc. It is possible to sufficiently cope with the future increase in output and booster output.
