To provide a configuration capable of smoothly performing an operation when a mobile terminal is mounted.SOLUTION: A mounting side end portion 13 of a mobile terminal 10 is housed in an accommodating portion 32, and a back surface 13b among the back surface 13b and a front surface 13a constituting opposing outer surface of the mounting side end portion 13 has a recess 14 as an engaged portion. The accommodating portion 32 has an engaging portion 36 that can be engaged with the recess 14 by utilizing spring force of a connection terminal 34, and is formed to allow a non-engaged state in which the mounting side end portion 13 is pushed in such that the external terminal 16 contacts the connection terminal 34 against the spring force, and the engaging portion 36 is not engaged with the recess 14, and an engaged state in which the mobile terminal 10 is tilted while maintaining contact with the external terminal 16 and the connection terminal 34 from this non-engaged state, and the engaging portion 36 is engaged with the recess 14, and the accommodating portion 32 is provided with a pair of guide portions 37 that can guide the surface 13a of the mounting side end portion 13 when pushed, and comes into contact with the surface 13a when the mobile terminal 10 is tilted from the non-engaged state to the engaged state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13 【課題】携帯端末を載置する際の操作を円滑に実施可能な構成を提供する。【解決手段】収容部３２に携帯端末１０の載置側端部１３が収容され、この載置側端部１３の対向する外面を構成する裏面１３ｂ及び表面１３ａのうち裏面１３ｂには被係合部として凹部１４が設けられる。そして、収容部３２は、接続端子３４のばね力を利用することで凹部１４に係合可能な係合部３６を有し、外部端子１６が接続端子３４に対してばね力に抗して接触するように載置側端部１３が押し込まれた状態であって係合部３６が凹部１４に係合していない非係合状態と、この非係合状態から携帯端末１０が外部端子１６と接続端子３４との接触を維持したまま傾けられた状態であって係合部３６が凹部１４に係合する係合状態と、を許容するように形成される。この収容部３４には、押し込まれる際の載置側端部１３の表面１３ａを案内可能であって、非係合状態から係合状態となるように携帯端末１０を傾ける際に表面１３ａに接触する一対の案内部３７が設けられる。【選択図】図１３
