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.

The combination comprising: a visor clip for securing a police radar detector to the underside of a visor of a vehicle of a thickness unspecified over a predetermined range; a police radar detector having an upper planar surface, a front end disposed to be oriented toward the front of said vehicle, and a rear end; said visor clip comprising a base removably securable on said upper surface of said detector, said visor clip having an outer surface and an inner surface; said visor clip further comprising a parallel linkage assembly including a first leg and a second leg each having upper and lower ends, each said first and second leg extending upwardly from, and having its lower end hingedly connected to, said outer surface of said base, said first leg being connected to said outer base surface so as to pivot about a first horizontal axis parallel to said rear end of said detector, said second leg being connected to said outer base surface so as to pivot about a second horizontal axis located on said base a fixed distance forward of said first axis, said parallel linkage assembly also including a clamp arm having a forward tip and a back end, said clamp arm being hingedly attached at its back end to said upper end of said first leg and being hingedly attached to said upper end of said second leg at a point on said arm displaced forwardly of the back end of said arm a distance equal to said fixed distance, whereby a parallelogram is formed by said legs and said base and said arm with said arm being maintained in parallel relationship with said base as it is movable toward and away from said base.
