Abstract

A holding arrangement for a mobile device in a cabin of a vehicle has a cabin equipment component, a support device arranged on the cabin equipment component, a holding device for holding a mobile device and a covering pane. The support device is designed to receive the holding device and further has an access opening arranged on a side opposite the cabin equipment component. Furthermore, the support device is designed to slidably hold the covering pane for opening and closing the access opening arranged on the side opposite the cabin equipment component in such a manner that the covering pane is movable to a closed position and to an open position, wherein in its open position the covering pane extends beyond the support device. Hereby, an improved holding function and temporary theft prevention may be accomplished.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A holding arrangement for a mobile device in a cabin of a vehicle, comprising:
a cabin equipment component,
a support device arranged on the cabin equipment component,
a holding device for holding a mobile device, and
a covering pane,
wherein the support device is designed to receive the holding device and further comprises an access opening arranged on a side opposite the cabin equipment component, and
wherein the support device is designed to slidably hold the covering pane for opening and closing the access opening arranged on the side opposite the cabin equipment component in such a manner that the covering pane is movable to a closed position and to an open position, wherein in its open position the covering pane extends beyond the support device.

2. The holding arrangement of claim 1 , further comprising a planar retaining frame that is insertable between the holding device and the covering pane and that comprises an opening with an opening contour, which opening is arranged in a plane of extension and is dimensioned so that a mobile device arranged in the holding device cannot be removed through the access opening.

3. The holding arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the holding device is made from an elastic foamed material.

4. The holding arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the covering pane is transparent at least in some regions.

5. The holding arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the holding device comprises at least one cutout for receiving a power supply cable with a connector.

6. The holding arrangement of claim 1 ,
wherein the holding device comprises a cutout that leads from a first side of the holding device to a second side of the holding device,
wherein the first side and the second side are arranged so as to be opposite one another, and
wherein the cutout between the first side and the second side comprises at least one projection for holding the mobile device.

7. The holding arrangement of claim 1 , wherein on a side facing the support device the covering pane comprises at least one marking device.

8. The holding arrangement of claim 1 ,
wherein the support device is designed as a housing with a fastening surface and an insertion opening for the holding device,
wherein the fastening surface is located on a side facing away from the access opening, and
wherein the housing is closed between the fastening surface, the access opening and the insertion opening.

9. A passenger seat comprising a backrestand a holding arrangement arranged on a back portion of the backrest, the holding arrangement comprising a support device, a holding device for holding a mobile device, and a covering pane, wherein the support device is designed to receive the holding device and further comprises an access opening, and wherein the support device is designed to slidably hold the covering pane for opening and closing the access opening in such a manner that the covering pane is movable to a closed position and to an open position, wherein in its open position, the covering pan extends beyond the support device.

10. A vehicle with a cabin and cabin equipment components, wherein at least one cabin equipment component comprises a holding arrangement, the holding arrangement comprising:
a support device arranged on the cabin equipment component,
a holding device for holding a mobile device, and
a covering pane,
wherein the support device is designed to receive the holding device and further comprises an access opening arranged on a side opposite the cabin equipment component, and
wherein the support device is designed to slidably hold the covering pane for opening and closing the access opening arranged on the side opposite the cabin equipment component in such a manner that the covering pane is movable to a closed position and to an open position, wherein in its open position the covering pane extends beyond the support device.

11. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein at least one cabin equipment component is designed as a passenger seat with a backrest having a back that accommodates the holding arrangement.

12. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the vehicle is an aircraft.
