Abstract
An adjustable angle mount particularly useful for removably supporting a police radar detector horizontally to the inside of any of a variety of vehicle windshields of various inclination angles. The mount has a pair of planar members hinged together at a horizontal axis, one member being attachable to the windshield by two horizontally spaced suction cups and with a third windshield contact point. Below the axis is a bearing surface against which a cam pinned to the other member bears, under the weight of a receiver removably supported thereon, to limit the angle between said members and support the receiver horizontally. The cam is rotatable by a driver accessible lever formed integrally of the cam.
