The outer case can be made more compact as compared with the case where the difference is absorbed, which is convenient in mounting the telephone holding device in a narrow vehicle.

According to the telephone holding device of the second aspect of the present invention, the connector case is provided with the first inclined edge formed by tapering the tip, and the window hole has the opening edge. Since the second inclined edge having an inclination angle substantially equal to that of the first inclined edge is provided in such a window hole, it is possible to make the connection between the window hole of the inner case and the connector case of the outer case. Even when the relative position between them is shifted, when fitting the inner case to the outer case, the first inclined edge of the connector case,
In a state where the second inclined edge portions of the window holes are in contact with each other, the connector case is guided by these inclined edge portions to move and correct the displacement, thereby fitting the connector case into the window holes. it can. Therefore, when replacing the inner case due to the change of the model of the mobile phone, simply press the inner case into the outer case without having to perform the troublesome operation of setting the position of the connector case one by one according to the new model. With only the operation, the mounting of the inner case to the outer case is completed, and the mounting operation of the inner case can be easily performed.

According to the telephone holding device of the third aspect of the present invention, since the outer peripheral surface of the connector case is supported by at least four elastic support members provided at substantially equal pitches in the outer case, the connector case is provided. Is pressed from the four surroundings by the four elastic support members, and is located at a substantially central portion of the outer case, whereby the moving distance of the connector case when the inner case is mounted can be shortened on average.

According to the telephone holding device of the fourth aspect of the present invention, the projection is provided on the back surface of the connector case, the tip of which is in contact with the inner surface of the outer case. The contact area reduces the contact area between the connector case and the inner surface, so that the connector case can be easily moved.

According to the telephone holding device of the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the rotating body is applied as the projection, the connector case moves while rotating the rotating body interposed between the connector case and the inner surface of the outer case. However, this makes the movement resistance extremely small, and the connector case can be moved very easily.
