ABSTRACT:
Belt clip assembly for use with a portable electronic apparatus includes a mounting bracket used to join a belt clip and a housing member. A mounting bracket is inserted through a pair of slots in a housing member and holds a belt clip in place by means of a pivot pin inserted through apertures in the mounting bracket and the belt clip. A pair of shear cuts adjacent the apertures in the mounting bracket allow the pivot pin to pull through the shear cuts in the event excess forces are applied to the belt clip, thereby destroying the mounting bracket. In this manner an inexpensive mounting bracket is sacrificed to avoid damage to the housing and the belt clip.
