Abstract

An apparatus including a support plate with a "U" shaped flange formed with serrated confronting teeth for securement to a visor of an automobile. The support plate includes a plurality of spaced, elongate magnetic plates with conductive strip members orthogonally mounted to opposed lateral elongate edges of each of the strips. Aligned between each of the strips is a first and second recess of dissimilar geometric configurations for complementarily receiving a first and second projection mounted to a top surface of a radar detector receivable within each of the respective recesses. A first and second securement plate is magnetically attachable to each of the conductive strip pairs for selective securement of the detector to the conductive strip pairs, and wherein each of the securment plates are in electrical communication with the radar detector, and wherein each of the first and second conductive plates includes an individual electrical wire for providing efficient and immediate electrical communication of the radar detector to the automotive circuitry. A modification of the securement plate includes a "U" shaped recess to receive a "U" shaped magnetic strip therewithin. A modifi…
