연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

1. A combined storage and docking unit for a portable electronic device comprising: a storage box for attachment to an instrument panel of a motor vehicle, the storage box having a pair of apertures;a lid hingedly connected to the storage box by a pair of depending arms fixedly attached to the lid, wherein the pair of arms extend through the apertures and below the floor of the storage box;an electrical connector attached to the storage box for selectively connecting the portable electronic device to one or more electrical circuits of the motor vehicle;a lid opening spring connected to the lid to bias the lid towards an open position; anda user operable locking mechanism to hold the lid in a desired position against action of the lid opening spring, wherein the user operable locking mechanism is operable to allow free movement of the lid when released and prevent movement of the lid in either direction when engaged and is selectively engageable to hold the lid in a position in which the portable electronic device is clamped between the lid and the storage box in a display position in which the electronic device is visible to a user of the motor vehicle. 2. The unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage box has a trough shaped portion in which the portable electronic device is stowable, and wherein the at least one electrical connector is located within the trough shaped portion of the storage box. 3. The unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage box has a trough shaped portion in which the portable electronic device is stowable and, when the portable electronic device is in a stowed position within the trough shaped portion of the storage box, the user operable locking mechanism is engageable to hold the lid in a closed position so as to obscure the portable electronic device from view. 4. The unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lid has a first jaw portion located near a front end of the lid for cooperation with a second jaw portion of the storage box located near a front end of the storage box, and wherein the first and second jaw portions form in combination a clamp for holding the portable electronic device in the display position. 5. The unit as claimed in claim 4, wherein at least one of the first and second jaw portions has a compressible non-slip pad attached thereto to aid with gripping of the portable electronic device between the lid and the storage box. 6. The unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the depending arms forms part of the user operable locking mechanism. 7. The unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the depending arms is used to connect the lid to the lid opening spring. 8. The unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user operable locking mechanism includes a user input device wherein, when the user input device is operated by a user of the motor vehicle, the locking mechanism is released to permit free movement of the lid and, when the user input device is not operated by a user of the motor vehicle, the user operable locking mechanism is engaged to prevent movement of the lid in either direction. 9. A portable electronic device docking unit comprising: a storage box for attachment to a vehicle;a lid hingedly connected to the storage box;a torsion spring operative to bias the lid to an open position and coupled to a cross shaft disposed beneath the storage box; anda user operable locking mechanism including a brake unit to hold the lid in a desired position against action of the spring and to selectively clamp a portable electronic device between the lid and the storage box. 10. The unit as claimed in claim 9, wherein the user operable locking mechanism is operable to allow free movement of the lid when released and prevent movement of the lid in either direction when engaged and is selectively engageable to hold the cover in a position in which the portable electronic device is clamped between the lid and the storage box in a display position in which it is visible to a user of the motor vehicle. 11. The unit as claimed in claim 9, wherein the spring biases the lid towards an open position. 12. The unit as claimed in claim 9 further comprising an electrical connector adapted to connect to the portable electronic device. 13. The unit as claimed in claim 12, wherein the electrical connector is attached to the storage box for selectively connecting the portable electronic device to one or more electrical circuits of the vehicle. 14. The unit as claimed in claim 9, wherein the storage box has a trough shaped portion in which the portable electronic device is stowable, and wherein the at least one electrical connector is located within the trough shaped portion of the storage box. 15. The unit as claimed in claim 9, wherein the storage box has a trough shaped portion in which the portable electronic device is stowable and, when the portable electronic device is in a stowed position within the trough shaped portion of the storage box, the user operable locking mechanism is engageable to hold the lid in a closed position so as to obscure the portable electronic device from view. 16. The unit as claimed in claim 9, wherein the lid has a first jaw portion located near a front end of the lid for cooperation with a second jaw portion of the storage box located near a front end of the storage box, and wherein the first and second jaw portions form in combination a clamp for holding the portable electronic device in the display position. 17. The unit as claimed in claim 16, wherein at least one of the first and second jaw portions has a compressible non-slip pad attached thereto to aid with gripping of the portable electronic device between the lid and the storage box. 18. The unit as claimed in claim 9 further comprising a pair of arms located near a rear end of the lid for hingedly connecting the lid to the storage box. 19. A portable electronic device docking unit comprising: a storage box for attachment to a vehicle;a lid hingedly connected to the storage box;a spring operative to bias the lid to an open position; anda brake unit having an input arm connected to a button via a linkage having first and second link rods and a bell crank. 20. The unit as claimed in claim 19, wherein the first link rod is pivotally connected at one end to the bell crank via a pivot pin and abuts at an opposite end the input arm and the second link rod is connected at an upper end to a cross beam formed as part of the button and is pivotally connected at a lower end by a pivot pin to the bell crank.
