ABSTRACT:
A slide mount for removably supporting a citizen'band (CB) radio or similar electronic equipment in a vehicle, or the like, or any other mounting surface, including a base attached to the vehicle and a slide attached to the CB radio and a quick disconnect structure for mechanically engaging the slide with the base and releasably latching the slide in position and also providing quick disconnect pin and socket-type connections between antenna circuits and electrical circuits so that the CB radio may be easily installed and removed with the installation and removal automatically coupling all of the components to the radio so that it may be operated immediately upon completion of the slide connection. A longitudinally movable release plate is provided on the slide to release a spring tab or lug engaged with a detent on the base so that outward longitudinal force exerted on the release plate at the end of the slide facing the operator of the radio will readily release the slide for removing the radio and slide assembly. The pin and socket contact assemblies are arranged so that the antenna and other pin and socket connections are completed prior to the completion of the power and ground pins and sockets in order to prevent any possibility of damage to the equipment resulting from being placed under power with either the antenna or speaker circuits disconnected. The structural interconnection between the slide and base is such that the slide can be readily aligned with the base and a tapered structure is provided so that when the slide is completely installed, very little play exists between the slide and base.
