Abstract
A vehicle radio mount having a first member adapted to be mounted to the underside of a vehicle dashboard and having two opposed elongate transversely spaced parallel slide elements. A plurality of exposed conductive contacts are mounted in downwardly facing position in the first member and are connectible to respective vehicle power supply, amplifier, speaker, antenna and other circuits. A locking ridge is formed in downwardly facing position in the first member. A second member, adapted to be connected to a vehicle radio, has a pair of parallel elongate transversely spaced slide receiving grooves which correspond to and are registrable with the slide elements in the first member. A stop is formed at the end of each groove. A tab carrying a locking boss is resiliently cantilevered to the second member and extends adjacent to and is manually accessible to a manual gripping portion on the second member. The locking boss is snappable in locking relation to the ridge on the first member when the first member slide members abut the stops in the second member. The second member carries on resiliently mounted fingers electrical contacts which are registrable with corresponding contacts on the first member when the second member is in its locked position on the first member. The second member electrical contacts are connectible to the radio circuits corresponding to the vehicle circuits.
