Abstract
A visor clip for mounting a police radar detector to the visor of a vehicle having a parallelogram shaped linkage pivotally connected to the top of the detector supporting base. A clip arm is provided at the upper side of the linkage for engaging the top of a visor. The linkage is spring biased forward and downward. The clip arm is longer than the base so as to clamp the visor between the arm and the detector case, tightening the detector to the base to which the detector is removably attached. The tightening action of the arm operates to press against the detector case to hold the clip onto the detector when the combination is removed from the visor. Friction enhancing horizontal ridges on the underside of the forward end of the clip arm urge the linkage backward to raise the clip arm upward when the combination is pushed onto the edge of a visor.
