Abstract
A retractable mounting clip arrangement is provided for use with miniaturized, hand-held apparatus intended to be worn on the person of the user such as on a belt or in the shirt pocket. The clip arrangement includes a curved base plate assembly designed to position with a corresponding curved recess in the apparatus housing. A mounting clip, preferably formed of a thin steel strip is pivotably hinged to the base plate. The base plate is made to slide within the curved recess so that in one position the mounting clip is substantially flush with the surface of the housing and in still another slidable position the mounting clip is positioned entirely above the housing surface and operable to clamp onto a shirt pocket or belt.
