Abstract
A detachable mounting clip arrangement according to the present invention includes a mounting clip supported by a support structure. The mounting clip is coupled to the support structure in a manner which allows rotation of the mounting clip between a first or normal position and a second position. A latching mechanism is coupled to the support structure so that when the mounting clip is in the first or normal position the latch is closed and the mounting clip is rotated to the second position, the latch opens. This is accomplished by a CAM pin coupled to the mounting clip which engages a CAM follower slot in a sliding latch member. When the mounting clip is rotated the sliding latch member slides with respect to a fixed latch member thereby opening the latch.
