Publication number: 20230320442Abstract: A coupler for coupling to a provided article of wear comprises a base plate and a clip. The coupler may be configured to provide a mount interface on an article of wear for an accessory to mount to. The base plate may comprise one or more structures configured to engage one or more respective portions of the clip over the provided article of wear. The clip may be shaped to interlock with the structures of the base plate. The clip may engage the base plate in a series of actions. The series of actions may be repeated in reverse to disengage the clip from the base plate. The series of actions for disengaging the clip from the base plate may reduce a likelihood of the clip in being unintentionally decoupled from the base plate, thereby increasing a likelihood that the coupler remains coupled to an article of wear.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventor: Edward GRINNELL

Patent number: 11272779Abstract: A mount for coupling to an article of wear comprises a back plate configured to engage a front plate over the article of wear. The back plate comprises a first structure and a second structure. The front plate comprises a base configured to receive an accessory, a slide slidably engaged with the base, and a swing rotatably engaged with the base. The base comprises a third structure and a first latch feature. The slide comprises a fourth structure and a first coupler. The swing comprises a second coupler and a second latch feature. The slide is configured to move to engage the third structure with the first structure and the fourth structure with the second structure. The swing is configured to rotate to engage the first coupler with the second coupler and the first latch feature with the second latch feature.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Axon Enterprise, Inc.Inventor: Edward Grinnell

Patent number: 11275294Abstract: A coupler for coupling to a provided article of wear comprises a base plate and a buckle. The base plate may comprise a mount interface configured to couple with a provided body worn camera. The buckle may be configured to couple to the base plate over a provided article of wear to couple the base plate to the provided article of wear. The buckle may comprise a first part, a second part, a first joint, and a lock. The first part may be movably coupled to the second part. The lock may be configured to enable and prevent movement of the first part relative to the second part. In an unlocked state, the lock may enable movement of the first part relative to the second part. In a locked state, the lock may prevent movement of the first part relative to the second part.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Axon Enterprise, Inc.Inventor: Edward Grinnell
