ABSTRACT:
A radar detector unit mounting device includes a mounting bracket having upper and lower leg portions connected by a bight portion and defining therebetween a slot for receiving and holding therein the radar detector unit, a connector having an upper female part and a lower male part adapted to fit through the upper leg portion of the mounting bracket and to fasten to the upper female part so as to clamp the connector to the mounting bracket, and a clip having a pair of clamping jaws for releasably attaching to the support structure of a rearview mirror, a hinge for connecting the jaws together to undergo pivotal movement between opened and closed positions, and a pair of spaced apart fingers attached to the jaws on opposite sides of the hinge. The hinge has a lower coupling portion for pivotal attachment of the clip to an upper end of the upper female part of the connector and an upper hinge defining portion supporting an elongated spring between the fingers which forces the fingers away from one another to a displaced position and thereby the jaws to the closed position. By squeezing the fingers of the clip sufficiently to overcome the biasing force of the spring, the fingers are moved toward one another to an adjacent position and thereby the jaws are forced to the opened position.
