ACCESSORY MOUNTING DEVICE FOR A REARVIEW MIRROR

An accessory mounting device for hanging an accessory behind and below a rearview mirror includes a housing with a slot and an engagement member biased to move toward a peripheral edge of the slot. A button is movably mounted to the housing and fixed to the engagement member such that the button is movable to counteract the bias of the engagement member. To hang the accessory, the button is pressed and the accessory is placed through the slot and between the peripheral edge of the slot and the engagement member. Then the button is released to urge the engagement member via bias toward the peripheral edge of the slot, thereby grasping the accessory between the engagement member and the peripheral edge.
