A belt clip assembly is disclosed. The belt clip assembly includes a device retainer having a first retainer defined to retain a clip pin. The belt clip assembly further includes a clip coupled to the device retainer via the clip pin and the clip includes a detent and the clip is further defined to retain a tab pin. A tab is coupled to the clip via the tab pin, the tab being rotatable about the tab pin. Wherein the device retainer is initially rotatable about the clip pin independent of rotation of the tab about the tab pin. Additionally, the rotation of the device retainer about the clip pin results in a finite displacement of the device retainer.
1. A belt clip assembly, comprising:
a device retainer having a first retainer, the device retainer further defined to retain a clip pin;
a clip being coupled to the device retainer via the clip pin, the clip further having a detent and being defined to retain a tab pin; and
a tab coupled to the clip via the tab pin, the tab being rotatable about the tab pin,
wherein the device retainer is initially rotatable about the clip pin independent of rotation of the tab about the tab pin, such that rotation of the device retainer about the clip pin results in a finite displacement of the device retainer.
2. The belt clip assembly as described in claim 1 , further comprising a device lock defined on the first retainer.
3. The belt clip assembly as defined in claim 1 , further comprising a second retainer.
4. The belt clip assembly as defined in claim 3 , further comprising a device lock defined on the first retainer.
5. The belt clip assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein continued rotation of the device retainer about the clip pin results in rotation of the tab about the tab pin.
6. The belt clip assembly as described in claim 5 , wherein the clip further includes at least one detent defined to resist rotation of the tab about the tab pin.
7. The belt clip assembly as described in claim 6 , wherein the continued rotation of the device retainer about the clip pin overcomes the detent to further rotate the tab about the tab pin.
8. A portable infusion system, comprising:
an infusion device having a reservoir removably coupled to tubing, the tubing further being removably coupled to an infusion set having a cannula;
a belt clip assembly having
a device retainer having a first retainer, the device retainer further defined to secure a clip pin,
a clip being coupled to the device retainer via the clip pin, the clip further having a tab coupled to the clip via a tab pin, the tab being rotatable about the tab pin,
wherein the infusion device is secured to the belt clip assembly via the first retainer and the device retainer is initially rotatable about the clip pin independent of rotation of the tab about the tab pin, such that rotation of the device retainer about the clip pin results in a finite displacement of the tubing.
9. The portable infusion system as defined in claim 8 , further comprising a device lock being defined on the first retainer, wherein the infusion device is secured to the belt clip assembly via the first retainer and the device lock.
10. The portable infusion system as defined in claim 9 , further comprising a second retainer, wherein the infusion device is secured to the belt clip assembly via the first retainer and the second retainer.
11. The portable infusion system as defined in claim 10 , further comprising a device lock defined on either the first or second device retainer, wherein the infusion device is secured to the belt clip assembly via the first retainer, the second retainer and the device lock.
12. The portable infusion system as defined in claim 8 , wherein the clip further includes at least one detent defined to resist rotation of the tab about the tab pin.
