Abstract

See full text

A mounting clip is provided for removable mounting of a medication infusion pump of the type used to deliver a selected medication such as insulin to a patient. In the preferred form, the mounting clip comprises a belt clip with a pair of pivotally interconnected and spring-loaded legs adapted for mounting onto a belt or other item of clothing worn by a patient. One leg of the belt clip includes a dovetail key for slide-fit reception into a mating dovetail slot formed in the housing of a medication infusion pump. A detent button is carried on the belt clip at the distal end of a spring arm for snap-fit reception into a detent seat formed in the pump housing, to lock the pump onto the belt clip. The spring arm is manually accessible to permit fingertip retraction of the detent button from the seat, and thereby permit easy sliding removal of the pump housing from the belt clip.
