ABSTRACT:
A clip (10) for attaching a portable electronic device (50) to an article of clothing. Clip (10) has a latch member (12) and a mount guide (14). Retainers (22,24) of latch member (12) engages an engagement member (62) on a housing (52) for device (50). Coaction between mount guide (14) and a housing guide (54) guides movement between clip (10) and housing (52) for complementary engagement of latch member (12) to engagement member (62). Latch member (12) resiliently couples to mount guide (14) to allow for movement away from engagement member (62) using lever actuator (20). Thereafter, housing (52) can then be moved to a releasable position from which device (50) can be dismounted. Clip (10) also has a lock (70) to prevent movement of latch member (12) away from engagement member (62) for a locked position when device (50) is mounted to clip (10).
