Abstract
To release a spring clip holding a protruding detent in a leg supporting an overhead canopy, a finger-operated push button is actuated from a clearance position and is forced against the detent causing it to withdraw within the leg, and the canopy slidably releases along the leg without injury to the out-of-the-way actuating fingers.
