ABSTRACT:
For proper pre-assembly alignment of the hinge plate holes (e.g., 120b and 136b), stops (e.g., 140a) are engaged in notches (e.g., 119b). A hinge pin (128) is then inserted into the aligned holes to attach the clip (130) to the base plate (102). The pin is locked in position by a spring finger (204) that forcibly engages the semicircular wall (202) of one hinge plate hole (120a) into a groove (304) on the pin. A coil spring (122) is unloaded during assembly because its free ends (124a and 124b) project through apertures (116a and 116b) in the base plate. After assembly, the spring is pre-loaded by engaging its free ends under tabs (116a and 116b) that project into the apertures. The base plate has a "U" shaped bracket (502) at one end and a tab (112) on a torsion bar (110) at the other end to attach the assembly to a radio housing.
