MINIATURE PORTABLE APPARATUS OR THE LIKE
ABSTRACT
A detachable mounting clip arrangement is disclosed especially suited for application with miniaturized radio apparatus or the like of the type intended to be worn on the person such as on a belt or in the shirt pocket. The clip arrangement includes a tapered base plate assembly designed to insert within a recess formed by two convergent undercut side walls on the apparatus housing itself and retained therein by a ratchet like serrated section included on the housing surface which interacts with a resilient finger extending laterally from the base plate. The base plate itself is designed to support a conventional pivotable mounting clip assembly and associated torsion spring.
Description
Background of the Invention The present invention relates generally to mounting clips and, more particularly, to a detachable mounting clip arrangement especially suited for use with personalized radio receivers which may be readily and conveniently detached therefrom as desired.
Personalized radio apparatus and other devices of this sort are intended to be worn on the belt or carried in a shirt pocket of the user. This requires a mounting clip arrangement of some sort whereby the portable apparatus can be securely attached to the belt or shirt pocket so as to avoid damage by inadvertent droppage thereof.
However, in some instances, the clip arrangement actually used is of a substantial bulk when compared to the radio housing itself and can cause a number of undesirable prablems. For example, in servicing or maintenance opera-tions, the clip assembly can become snagged in test leads o~
monitoring equipment or in other materials in close proximity.
Then too, it creates a problem for battery charging equip-ment in that the entrance opening thereto is of a more complicated configuration than the otherwise rather simple rectangular opening if no clip assembly were included or protruding on the radio apparatus. In any event, with the size of the miniaturized or personal radio apparatus decreas-ing substantially in recent years, the size of the mountingclip becomes more and more prominent and, in many instances, less desirable.
Summary of the Invention Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a completely detachable mounting clip arrangement for personalized radio apparatus or the like.
A more particular object of the present invention is to provide a detachable mounting clip arrangement of the fore-going type which may simply and conveniently insert within a retainer lock ring and latch therein, but which may be removed by a simple tool when desired.
~ n practicing the invention, a detachable mounting clip arrangement is provided for releasable attachment to an associated miniaturized radio receiver or other portable apparatus a~nd the like which includes projecting but convex~
gent undercut side walls designed to accept a tapered base plate for retention therein and wherein a laterally extend-ing resilient finger interfits with a serrated section on the app~ratus housing to latch the base plate securely to the apparatus housing. The base plate includes means for supporting a conventional pivoted clip assembly which may be attached to the hase plate by a simple locking pin and which may further support a torsion spring thereon. The clip assembly itself can be removed or otherwise detached from the housing by a simple tool prying up the resilient finger so as to release the tapered base plate from the recess with undercut side walls.

Referring now to the d~awings, a radio apparatus lQ is illustrated in Fig. 1 of the miniaturized or personal type intended to be carried by a user on his belt or in a shirt CM_77384 ~6~9~
pocKet. It is to be understood that the invention rnay be made applicable to a wide variety o~ miniaturized or other portable apparatus. In any event, a mounting clip arrange-ment indicated generally at 20 is shown attached to the housing 12 of the radio apparatus 10, which clip arrangement has been constructed in accordance with the present invention.
As best seen in Fig. 2, the mounting clip arrangement 20 includes a, base plate 22 and a conventional mounting clip 24 for attachment to base plate 22 by a connecting or lock pin 26, A torsion spring 28 is mounted on and supported by the pin 26 to provide the required spring bias for clip 2~.
As illustrated, an upraised ledge or ridge 30 is pro-vided on the housing 12 of apparatus 10 which is essentially open at one end thexeof and is of a generally inverted ~-shaped cQnfiguration~ This ridge is formed by two conver-gent undercut side walls 30a and joined by a similar wall 3Ob at the narrower dimension or top r viewing Fig. 2, thereof.
This provides a tapered recess or opening (see Fig. 3) within which to insert the base plate 22, itself having a similar or corresponding tapered configuration. The housing 12 further includes a series of serrations 32 on the housing body~ the purpose of which will be described subsequently.
The base plate 22 includes the tapered body as previously mentioned of substantially the same dimension provided by side walls 30a so as to insert within and be retained by the retaining ridge 3Q of housing 12.~ The base plate 22 further includes a, centrally located finger or member 22a extending laterally in the same plane as plate 22 and a pair o~ upstand-ing projections 22b extending perpendicular to the plane of the base pla,te. Each of the projections 22b includes an opening 22c of substantially the same circular dimension as the pin 26 so as to receive the same therein by Eorce f:it.
CM-77384 1~6~
The base plate 22 further includes a beveled edge 22d along three sides thereof of substantially the same configuration as the angle o~ the undercut side walls 30a and 30b of the retaining ridge 30 on housing 12 (see Fig. 3).
In assembly, mounting clip 24 is attached to base plate 22 by aligning the openings 22c of the projection 22b on base plate 22 ~ith the corresponding openings 24c in the projections or tab members 24b on clip 2~ and the insertion therethrough of the locking pin 26 on which the torsion spring 28 is mounted The entire assembly, i.e., intercon-nected base plate and clip, is inserted into the retainer ridge 30. The beveled edge portions 22d of base plate 22 operatively engage the inner, undercut surface of the leg portions 30a and 30b of ridge 30 (best seen in Flg. 31.
Upon base plate 22 being fully inserted into engagement within ret~iner ring 30~ the laterally extending finger portion 22a engages an appropriate one of the serrations 32 on housing 12 to thereby lock the assembly of base plate 22 and interconnected clip to the hQusing 12 of apparatus 10.
As more clearly seen in Fig. 4, the finger member 22a includes a sharp beyeled trailing edge 22e which engages one of the serrations 32 on the housing 12. The finger member 22a is prebent to a given configuratiQn so as to conform to the inclination of the surface of the serrations 32. In any event~ engagement by member 22a of the appropriate serration 32 locks the entire assembly within the retainer ridge 30 and the housing and the clip assembly are firmly attached to one ~,nother.
To detach the clip assembly 20~ a simple blade tool or the like may be used to pry the resilient finger member 22a upwardl~ out Qf engagement with the associated serration 32 and the entire assembly may be withdrawin from the retainer CM-77384 1~6~9~
ridge 30. No other tools are required or fasteners removed.
Disassembly may be effected conveniently and quickly when desired. Reassembly may be as easy effected and even less time and effort.
While only a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown and described herein, it willt of course, be under-stood that other variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the true scope and spirit of the invention~ The claims as appended hereto are intended to cover all such modifications and alternative constructions that may fall within the true scope and spirit.
