Title: Radar mount and holding bracket

Abstract: The bracket supports transmitter cone and control components of a standard radar scope at points entirely within the interior of a police patrol car, just to one side of the driver's position for convenient manipulation by him or by an accompanying officer. The bracket is of limited and substantially uniform width throughout and, as frictionally held to the vehicle's upholstered driver seat back rest, it presents an upper horizontal plate portion which rests on and is cushioned by the back rest, upon which plate portion the scope cone is stably and adjustably mounted. A rearwardly and downwardly angled integral projection of said portion provides a clamping lip to assist in frictionally but releasably mounting the bracket to the seat back, without tearing or other damage to the latter. Forwardly of the scope-mounting plate member the bracket affords an intermediate upright panel of adjustable two-part construction which carries on its rear surface a vertically adjustable stop element for frictional engagement with the front of the seat cushion in furthering a releasable clamping of the bracket to the driver's seat.
