    Support for a device, such as a smartphone
    The present invention relates to a support for the reception and maintenance of a device, such as a smartphone, in a mobile environment, such as a motor vehicle.
    The problem that arises is the support of a device, of substantially parallelepiped shape, in a vehicle, close to a driving position, preferably at a dashboard. Such a support must be able to simply and quickly allow the installation of the device, and also its withdrawal, when the owner of the device wishes.
    Also such a support advantageously comprises at least one latitude of movement and / or deformation, in order to be able to pass from at least one "open" position in which the apparatus can be put in place or removed, to at least one "closed" position In which the apparatus is immobilized in the support.
    There are different types of devices that vary in size from one type to another. Also a support still advantageously comprises at least one latitude of movement and / or deformation, if necessary confused with the previous one, in order to be able to accommodate an appliance, whatever its dimensions, from the smallest to the largest. Recent devices, such as smartphones or tablets, can be used in a portrait or landscape orientation. These two orientations can be considered here as two different dimensions.
    In the field of device holders, there are several known configurations. Thus, for example, a type of support uses a relative translational movement selectively moving or moving two jaws substantially parallel to each other, in order to open / close the support and simultaneously adjust the distance between the two jaws to a dimension of the device. An example of such a support is described in DE 1020111090056.
    Such a configuration has a significant disadvantage in that it leads to a high height and therefore a large volume occupied in the dashboard, the axis of the translation being disposed substantially vertically.
    Another type of support uses a rotational movement. Such a support comprises a first jaw adapted to receive a first edge of the apparatus, a second jaw adapted to receive a second edge of the apparatus opposite the first edge and facing the first jaw, and a rotary arm comprising its distal end, the second bit. Thus, a rotation of the arm can adjust the distance between the two jaws, both to open / close the support, as to adapt to a dimension of the device, here the distance between the two opposite edges. The two jaws and the arm form a clamp capable of clamping a device by two opposite edges. An example of such a support is described in EP 2271516.
    A disadvantage of such a configuration is that the inclination of the device in place in the support is dependent on its size, which determines the distance between the jaws. In addition, the distance amplitude between the two jaws remains limited, relative to a given arm length. The invention proposes a reception and maintenance support, according to a type improving the type using a translation, not having the disadvantages of the prior art, and to accommodate a large dimensional extent to accommodate many types apparatus. The subject of the invention is a support for an apparatus, of substantially parallelepipedal shape, such as an ordiphone, comprising: a first jaw, extending mainly along a first reception axis and able to receive a first edge of the apparatus, a second jaw, extending mainly along a second axis of reception substantially parallel to the first axis of reception, able to accommodate a second edge of the apparatus opposite to the first edge, and facing the first jaw, further comprising a sleeve , an arm, and a first return means, the sheath being fixed relative to the first jaw, and the arm being able to translate relative to the sheath in the main direction of elongation of the arm, and the arm comprising a proximal segment and a distal segment, articulated together by means of a secant axis of rotation to the main elongation direction of the arm, the distal segment carrying the second jaw at its distal end the, and the first biasing means tending to rotate the distal segment relative to the proximal segment, in the direction approaching the second jaw of the first jaw.
    According to another characteristic, the sheath prevents any rotation about the axis of rotation as long as the axis of rotation is in the sheath.
    According to another feature, the support further comprises a second return means, tending to move the arm in the sheath.
    According to another characteristic, the second return means is shaped so as to extend the arm out of the sheath.
    According to another characteristic, the axis of rotation is substantially perpendicular to the main elongation direction.
    According to another characteristic, the axis of rotation is substantially parallel to the first axis of reception.
    According to another characteristic, the support further comprises a locking means, adapted to immobilize the arm relative to the sleeve, substantially in any feasible position.
    According to another characteristic, the locking means comprises a third biasing means tending to actuate the locking means.
    According to another characteristic, the locking means also comprises a means of inhibition, able to inhibit the locking means when the inhibiting means is activated, and an operating member for activating the inhibiting means.
    According to another characteristic, the operating member is disposed at the distal end of the distal segment of the arm.
    According to another characteristic, the operating member is disposed on the sheath.
    According to another characteristic, a jaw comprises at least one cavity. The invention also relates to a dashboard comprising such a support, wherein the first jaw is fixed relative to the dashboard, preferably horizontal, still preferably aligned with the transverse axis of the dashboard, and where the axis of rotation is preferably horizontal, still preferably aligned with the transverse axis of the dashboard.
    According to another characteristic, the first jaw is lower and the second jaw is greater.
    According to another characteristic, the sleeve is flush with the dashboard, so that the arm is retractable in the dashboard.
    According to another characteristic, the arm is shaped and arranged so that, retracted, at least a portion of the distal end, preferably the portion optionally comprising the operating member, is projecting relative to the dashboard, to allow seizure and maneuvering. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a support or such a dashboard. Other features, details and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the detailed description given below as an indication in relation to drawings in which: - Figures 1 to 3 show, in a substantially front perspective view, a support according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, - Figure 1 shows the support with the arm retracted in the absence of apparatus, - Figure 2 shows the support with the distal segment of the arm released in the absence of 3 shows the support with the distal segment of the arm extended and accommodating a device in a small dimension, here a smartphone in a landscape orientation, - Figures 4 and 5 show a detail of the support comprising the sleeve and the Figure 4 illustrates the retracted arm, Figure 5 illustrates the distal segment of the arm extended to release the axis of rotation. The invention relates to a support 1 adapted to receive an apparatus 30 and to maintain it in position and orientation. In the present, an apparatus 30 refers to any equipment that a user may wish to immobilize in a vehicle. Such an apparatus 30 typically provides for at least one of the following functions: communication and / or driving assistance of the vehicle. Such a device 30 may be, without limitation: a smart phone, including a smartphone-type cell phone, an old-generation cell phone, a PDA, a tablet, a phablette, or a GPS receiver. Note that an apparatus 30 can here be generalized to a non-electronic device, such as a notebook including a route to follow, directions for navigation, a road book or a map drawn or printed.
    Also, in the present, an apparatus 30 is substantially parallelepipedic. Its weight typically does not exceed a few hundred grams. It typically includes a speaking face 33, displaying the information. For the vast majority of devices 30, it is the face comprising the screen. A rear face is opposed to the speaking face 33. One names edges 31,32 the other four faces. The speaking face 33 is substantially rectangular. The edges 31,32 are matched and opposed in pairs. The thickness, measured perpendicularly to the speaking surface 33 is typically smaller than the other dimensions, not exceeding a few millimeters, and at most 25 mm. The other dimensions, width and length can be very variable in a range typically between 30 mm and 300 mm.
    The support and immobilization of the apparatus 30 must be such as to enable the user to continue to use the functions of the apparatus 30. For this, the speaking face 33, typically comprising the display means or means , must remain visible. In order to be able to be controlled, the apparatus 30 must still remain accessible, at least for its control members, which can be arranged on the speaking face 33, for example in the case of a touchscreen, but also on any of the five other faces. The immobilization must be ensured with a certain force in order to withstand the forces exerted by the user on the control members of the apparatus 30. In order more particularly to enable the functions of voice communication or voice control, it is still appropriate that the support provides sound access to the device, as input, microphone, output, speaker.
    Since the position of the user is generally fixed, an adjustment of the inclination β of the apparatus 30 is advantageous so that the user can make a line of sight substantially perpendicular to the speaking face 33.
    In the current language the term orientation designates all the rotations that can undergo a device 30. In order to clarify and distinguish two rotations of different natures with regard to the problem posed, two different terms are used herein according to reduced assertions. The term orientation is preferably used to define the angular position of the apparatus 30 relative to an axis of rotation normal to the speaking face 33. Thus two particular orientations can be noted: portrait and landscape. The term inclination is preferably used to define the angular position of the apparatus 30 relative to an axis of rotation coplanar with said speaking face 33. The inclination is typically a setting for orienting the apparatus 30 relative to the direction of rotation. user observation. On the contrary, a change of orientation does not change the line of sight.
    As illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, a support 1 for such an apparatus 30 comprises a first jaw 2, a second jaw 4. The first jaw 2 is able to receive a first edge 31 of the apparatus 30 when said first edge 31 and the first jaw 2 come into contact. The first jaw 2 has a main extension along a first receiving axis 3. The second jaw 4 is able to receive a second edge 32 of the device 30, opposite the first edge 31, when said second edge 32 and the second jaw 4 come into contact. The second jaw 4 has a main extension along a second reception axis 5. This second reception axis 5 is substantially parallel to the first reception axis 3, at least in the holding position when an apparatus 30 is in place in the support 1. The second jaw 4 faces the first jaw 2, at least in the holding position when an apparatus 30 is in place in the support 1.
    The support 1 further comprises a sheath 7 and an arm 6. The sheath 7 is typically arranged so that its opening opens to the outer surface of the dashboard 24 and, in a secant direction to the outer surface of the 24. The arm 6 is able to translate relatively to the sleeve 7, in the main elongation direction 13 of the arm 6. The sleeve 7 is fixed relative to one of the jaws, such as the first jaw 2. The arm 6 carries at its distal end 8 the other jaw, such as the second jaw 4.
    The displacement in translation of the arm 6 relatively to the sheath advantageously allows the arm 6 to be released and thus a jaw 2,4 that the arm carries at its distal end 8, out of the sheath 7 and thus to move said jaw 2,4 away from the surface of the dashboard 24, typically during the introduction of an apparatus 20 in the support 1, or on the contrary to return the arm 6 in the sheath 7 and thus to retract it in the dashboard 24, for storage of the support 1 when it does not accommodate a device 20.
    With regard to the translational movement of the arm 6 relative to the sheath 7, it is possible to define a proximal end, or end of the arm 6 deepest in the sleeve 7 and a distal end 8, or outgoing end, at the other end of the arm 6. The arm 6 carries at its distal end 8 one of the two jaws 2,4, ie for example the second jaw 4.
    Such an arrangement, comprising two opposite jaws 2,4, a sheath 7 fixed relative to one of the two jaws 2,4, such as the first jaw 2, an arm 6 adapted to translate relative to the sheath 7 and carrying the other of the two 2.4 jaws, such as the second jaw 4, allows to move one of the jaws 4 relative to the other 2 and thus to adjust an opening capable of accommodating an apparatus 30 by two of its opposite edges 31, 32, between the two jaws 2.4.
    This is true if the main extension direction of the sheath 7, which merges with the main extension direction 13 of the arm 6 is not secant with the home axis 3. This condition is supposed to be verified by the support 1. The size of apparatus 30 that a support 1 can accommodate is determined by its opening or distance between the two jaws 2,4. This amplitude is determined by the position 12 of the arm 6 outside the sleeve 7. The opening is proportionally conditioned by the length 12 of the output of the arm 6 out of the sleeve 7. However, this length 12 is strongly limited by the integration constraints related to the space available in the structure hosting the support 1, such as a dashboard 24. This provision has the consequence that the inclination of the device 30 is a function of its size. Thus a "small" device 30, having a smaller dimension, requires a small separation of the jaws 2,4. This results in a first inclination of the device 30. On the contrary, a "large" device 30, having a larger dimension, requires a separation of the jaws 2.4 larger. This results in an inclination of the apparatus 30, different from the previous one. The inclination flows directly from the dimension and is thus, in a prejudicial way, not variable.
    Also, if the support 1 has only the degree of freedom of translation of the arm 6 relative to the sleeve 7, the opening of the support 1 adversely affects the inclination of the device 20 hosted.
    In order to remedy this drawback, according to an important characteristic, the support 1 comprises a second degree of freedom. This second degree of freedom is obtained in that the arm 6 comprises two segments 10, 11 articulated to each other by means of an axis of rotation 9. The proximal segment 10 is called the deepest segment in the sleeve 7 and distal segment 11 the segment first out of the sheath 7 and carrying one of the jaws 4 at its distal end 8. The axis of rotation 9 is secant to the main elongation direction 13 of the arm 6.
    A first biasing means tends to rotate the distal segment 11 relatively to the proximal segment 10, in the direction moving the second jaw 4 of the first jaw 2.
    The first return means may be any means capable of exerting a return force between the first segment 10 and the second segment 11 of the arm 6. It may comprise an active means of the controlled actuator type, such as a motor or a jack (electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic). Preferably, it may comprise a passive means, such as a gravity means in the form of a counterweight, or an elastic means, acting as appropriate via a return mechanism comprising pulley, cable, lever, etc. An elastic means may be based on the compression of a gas (gas cylinder), the compression or pulling of an elastic material, such as an elastomer, a plastic or a metal, for example to form a spring. Such a spring may advantageously be a torsion spring.
    The sleeve 7 provides another function in that it prevents any rotation around the axis of rotation 9 as long as the axis of rotation 9 is in the sleeve 7. This is achieved for example by means of a sheath 7 enveloping the segments 10,11 at least in certain directions, so as to come to oppose the rotational movement. Thus, as long as the axis of rotation 9 is in the sleeve 7, the two segments 10, 11 are necessarily substantially aligned, in the main extension direction 13 of the arm 6 and the rotation about the axis of rotation 9 is made impossible.
    Following a displacement in translation of the arm 6 out of the sheath 7, at least until the distal segment 11 is completely out of the sleeve 7 and the axis of rotation 9 is outside the sheath 7, the rotation 9 becomes possible again.
    A second return means (not shown) may be arranged to assist the movement of the arm 6 relative to the sheath 7.
    The second return means may be any means capable of exerting a return force between the arm 6 and the sheath 7. It may comprise an active means of controlled actuator type, such as a motor or a jack (electric, pneumatic or hydraulic). Preferably, it may comprise a passive means, such as a gravity means in the form of a counterweight, or an elastic means, acting as appropriate via a return mechanism comprising pulley, cable, lever, etc. An elastic means may be based on the compression of a gas (gas cylinder), the compression or pulling of an elastic material, such as an elastomer, a plastic or a metal, for example to form a spring. Such a spring may be a tension spring, or a compression spring, depending on its disposition and the direction in which it acts.
    Under the action of the first return means, the rotation 9 is even assisted and performed if nothing prevents the action of the first biasing means.
    The translation of the arm 6 relative to the sheath 7 is advantageous for two reasons. A first advantage is to provide an arm 6, which is short when not in use, which limits the space it occupies in the support structure of support 1, for example a dashboard 24, and thus advantageously facilitates its integration, and which can be long, to increase the opening of the support 1, when a large device 30 is received in the support 1. A second advantage is to provide a first degree of freedom.
    The additional degree of freedom provided by the rotation about the axis 9 allows, once the axis of rotation 9 out of the sheath 7, to rotate the distal segment 11 relative to the sleeve 7 and thus relative to the board of edge 24, to significantly increase the opening of the support 1 by providing a significant distance to the two jaws 2,4 and this in a small total footprint, facilitating integration into the dashboard 24.
    This again makes it possible to vary the inclination of the apparatus 30 independently of its size. This advantageously makes it possible to configure the inclination of the apparatus 30, independently of the size of the apparatus 30, in order typically to give it a value offering a comfortable viewing angle for the user.
    The presence of the first biasing means which tends to bring the two jaws 2.4 together and to ensure a force in this direction further ensures a pressure of the jaws 2,4 on the apparatus 20 and thus its maintenance in the support 1, to the way of a clamp.
    It has been seen that the first reception axis 3 and the second reception axis 5 are substantially parallel. As a result, the two jaws 2,4 are substantially aligned. This is linked to the parallelism of the two opposite edges 31, 32 of the apparatus 30. The orientation of the axis of rotation 9 can be defined in any way relative to the common direction of the two reception axes 3.5. A perpendicular configuration is however to be avoided because it removes the advantage brought by the second degree of freedom.
    A particular orientation of the axis of rotation 9 relative to the common direction of the two reception axes 3,5 is that, illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, in which the axis of rotation 9 is substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation. This arrangement is advantageous in that it guarantees a parallelism of the two reception axes 3.5, and thus of the two jaws 2,4, during the rotation of the two axes. segments 10,11.
    Similarly, the orientation of the direction of the axis of rotation 9 can be defined in any way relative to the main elongation direction 13 of the arm 6. An aligned or parallel configuration is however to be avoided because it eliminates the advantages provided by the translation.
    A particular orientation of the axis of rotation 9 relative to the main elongation direction 13 of the arm 6 is that illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, where the axis of rotation 9 is substantially perpendicular to the main elongation direction. 13.
    Advantageously, if the two preceding characteristics are applied together, the common direction of the two reception axes 3.5 is parallel to the axis of rotation 9, as shown in FIGS. 1-5.
    It has been seen that the modification of the position 12 of the arm 6, made possible by the translation, makes it possible to adjust the support 1. In order to block the configuration of the support 1, in the adjustment obtained, the arm 6 advantageously also comprises a means locking device (not shown) capable of immobilizing the arm 6. At a minimum, this locking means is capable of immobilizing the arm 6 in each of the two extreme positions: in the minimum elongation position where the arm 6 is retracted maximum in the sheath 7 and in the maximum elongation position where the arm 6 is maximally extended.
    Advantageously, this locking means is capable of making said immobilization substantially in any position 12 that can be achieved, that is to say in any position 12 between a minimum elongation where the arm 6 is retracted as far as possible into the sheath 7 and a maximum elongation where the arm 6 is pulled out at most.
    Such locking means can be achieved by any mechanism imaginable by a person skilled in the art. By way of illustration, such a locking means may comprise a rack secured to the arm 6 and a needle integral with the sheath 7, selectively engageable or disengageable in the teeth of said rack. When the needle is engaged in the rack, the translation of the arm relative to the sleeve 7 is impossible, thus achieving the desired locking. Such a rack defines, according to its pitch, discrete locking positions. When locking, the needle engages a tooth of the rack. This tooth is located, most often, immediately before or immediately after the position of the needle. The term "substantially" used for the characteristic "in any elongation 12 achievable" relates to this discretization of the possible locking positions. The pitch of the rack is adapted according to a desired "resolution" of the locking position.
    The locking means also advantageously comprises a third biasing means (not shown) tending to actuate the locking means, or to place it in a locked configuration. Such a return means thus ensures that, by default, the locking means is locked, preventing translation. In the embodiment previously described, comprising a rack and a needle, the third biasing means acts to engage the needle in the rack.
    In order to allow translation, the locking means advantageously further comprises an inhibition means (not shown). This means of inhibition is able to inhibit the locking means, or to place it in an unlocked configuration, when the inhibiting means is activated. In the preceding illustrative embodiment, an inhibiting means typically comprises a device operative to disengage the needle. The locking means also advantageously comprises an operating member 14 for activating the inhibiting means. Maneuvering the operating member 14 thus activates the inhibiting means, which in turn unlocks the locking means, thereby allowing the translation.
    The two preceding characteristics are advantageously combined. In this case the inhibiting means typically opposes the third biasing means. When the operating member 14 is actuated, the inhibiting means is activated, the locking means is unlocked, and the translation is possible, allowing adjustment of the position 12. When the operating member 14 is released, the third return means can act, the inhibiting means is deactivated, the locking means is locked, and the translation is prevented, ensuring a conservation of the adjustment of the position 12. The operating member 14 can be arranged in any location , for example on the dashboard 24, as long as it is accessible to a user. However, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the operating member 14 is advantageously arranged at the distal end 8 of the distal segment 11 of the arm 6. Such an arrangement advantageously allows a user to grip said distal end 8, in order to to apply to the arm 6 a force in the main extension direction 13, in one direction, pulling or in the opposite direction, pushing, to change the position 12, and at the same time to operate the operating member 14, in order to previously unlock the locking means. When, at the end of the modification of the elongation 12, the desired position is reached, the user stops operating the operating member 14 and the third return means provides a lock, substantially in the current position.
    The second return means (not shown) facilitates the translation and the previous operation of adjusting the position 12 of the arm 6. This second return means is capable of providing, in the form of a force, assistance with the translation of the arm 6 relative to the sheath 7.
    Here two configurations, substantially equivalent, are possible. According to a first configuration, the second return means is shaped so as to retract the arm 6 into the sleeve 7. In this configuration, the return means is typically a traction means, such as an elastic or a tension spring, by example in the configuration between the arm 6 and the sleeve 7. In this configuration, the user adjusting the elongation 12 acts either by opposing the second biasing means, by pulling on the distal end 8 to lengthen the arm 6, or by allowing the second return means to act to shorten the arm 6.
    According to a second preferred configuration, the second return means is shaped so as to make the arm 6 leave the sleeve 7. In this configuration, the return means is typically a compression means, such as a compression spring or a cylinder. gas, for example disposed between the arm 6 and the sleeve 7. In this configuration the user adjusting the elongation 12 acts either by opposing the second biasing means, by pushing on the distal end 8 to shorten the arm 6 or by allowing the second return means to act to lengthen the arm 6.
    During the introduction or removal of an apparatus 30 in / out of the support 1, once the axis of rotation 9 is out of the sleeve 7, the user can use the action of the first means return to rotate the distal segment 11, either by letting the first biasing means act to bring the jaws 2,4 together, or by opposing the first biasing means to move the two jaws 2,4.
    It has been seen that a jaw 2,4 extends mainly in a direction or axis of reception 3,5. The precise shape of a jaw 2,4 is determined, in negative, by the shapes of the devices 30 that the support 1 must be able to accommodate. A layout in the center of the jaw 2,4 can be adapted to accommodate older generation cell phones that have more complex dimensions but most often less extensive along the axis of reception 3.5. More recent cell phones (smartphones), but also tablets or phablettes most often have a substantially rectilinear edge 31, 32 and an extension along the axis of reception 3.5 larger. Also, a jaw 2,4 advantageously has a substantially rectilinear shape, preferably rectangular, mainly outside a central zone.
    According to an advantageous characteristic, a jaw 2,4 advantageously comprises at least one cavity, advantageously oriented in the direction of the apparatus 30. This is illustrated, in FIGS. 1-3, more markedly for the first jaw 2, here disposed in lower position, and to a lesser extent for the second jaw 4, whose profile is also shaped hollow. The main function of such a cavity is to present walls, substantially parallel to the axis of reception 3.5, disposed on either side of the apparatus 30, in order to oppose a movement of the 30 in a direction transverse to the axis of reception 3.5, in one direction or the other.
    Such a function can also be performed by at least one protuberance, preferably two protuberances arranged parallel to the reception axis 3.5, so as to be disposed on either side of the apparatus 30.
    The presence of several cavities or protuberances advantageously allows to have several positioning positions of the ordiphone to vary its orientation and / or to accommodate different sizes of ordiphone.
    Such a function can also be realized, in combination with one of the two previous ones, or even alone with a flat jaw 2,4 (without cavity, without protuberance), by means of a compiling material, such as an elastomeric foam, arranged in the zone of contact with the edge 31, 32 of the apparatus 30 received and advantageously compressed by said edge 31, 32. The invention also relates to an instrument panel 24 comprising such a support 1, as shown in FIGS. According to a preferred integration mode, a dashboard 24 accommodates a support 1 in the following manner. The first jaw 2 is fixed relative to the dashboard 24. It can even be made directly in the dashboard, for example material. The sheath 7 is also fixed relative to the dashboard 24, and arranged so that the arm 6 and thus the second jaw 4 faces the first jaw 2 and is parallel thereto.
    According to a preferred embodiment, the reception axis 3 defining the first jaw 2 is horizontal, more preferably aligned with the transverse axis, Y axis in automotive notation, of the dashboard 24.
    According to a still preferred embodiment, the first jaw 2 is below, in the lower position, facing upwards and the arm 6 is disposed above, in the upper position, the second jaw 4 facing downwards, as shown in FIG. as illustrated in Figures 1-3.
    Advantageously, the support 1 may be arranged in front of a clearance, arranged or pre-existing, of the dashboard 24, to allow a greater latitude of placement for the apparatus 30.
    As it is designed and in the preferred configuration described, the support 1 easily finds a place in the upper part of the dashboard 24.
    When no apparatus 30 is received and the support 1 is unused, the arm 6 is advantageously retracted or retracted into the sheath 7 and its elongation 12 is minimal.
    According to another characteristic, the sheath 7 is disposed, substantially flush with the dashboard 24, so that at least a portion of the distal end 8 of the arm 6 remains projecting relative to the dashboard 24, including in retracted position. This feature, more particularly illustrated in FIG. 1, showing an unused and retracted support 1, allows a user to enter, typically by a thumb / finger clip, the distal end 8 of the arm 6 in order to maneuver it to adjust its position. elongation 12.
    If the distal end 8 of the arm 6 comprises an operating member 14, the latter is advantageously arranged in the projecting part, in order to be maneuvered simultaneously with the seizure.
    Advantageously, the support 1 as described in its preferred embodiment allows a user to perform a configuration of the elongation 12 of the arm 6 with one hand, or two fingers. This is advantageous in that a setting or removal operation can be performed by manipulating the support 1 with one hand, and by manipulating the apparatus 30 with the other hand. Advantageously, it is even possible to manipulate the support 1 and the device 30, for an operation of setting up or withdrawal, with one hand.
    Advantageously, the support 1 is still able to leave at least one speaking face 33 of the visible and accessible device 30, so that the device can continue to be used. The fact that the first biasing means ensures a clamping of the two jaws 2,4 ensures a maintenance of the device 30 which allows it to withstand a force, such as a support on its face / touchscreen, to control the device 1.
