In one example, the accessory attachment interface comprises at least one mounting foot that has a predefined shape to pull the at least one accessory against a side wall mounted base plate as the foot is inserted into an aperture in the base plate and moved vertically to a mounted position. In one example, a locking mechanism that is separate from the mounting foot is movable between a locked position where the accessory is prevented from being removed from the base plate and an unlocked position where the at least one accessory is allowed to be removed from the base plate.

Abstract: A locking control system and method include providing a base plate with an attachment interface and attaching at least one accessory to the base plate via the attachment interface. A user profile is provided that comprises one or more classes of authorization. Locking and unlocking of the at least one accessory to the base plate is controlled based on the user profile and/or locking and unlocking of the at least one accessory itself is controlled based on the user profile.

Abstract: An assembly includes a base plate with a plurality of apertures and an attachment structure comprising a base body with a plurality of resilient arms coupled to the base body. The base body is associated with an accessory that is attachable to the base plate. Each resilient arm includes at least one snap tab that is selectively moveable between a locked position where the base body is locked to the base plate within a single aperture of the plurality of apertures and an unlocked position wherein the base body is removeable from the base plate.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a base plate including a plurality of apertures and a mat. At least a first set of apertures of the plurality of apertures are configured to receive a mounting foot from an accessory to be mounted on the base plate. The mat includes an attachment structure that is selectively securable to the base plate via one or more apertures of the plurality of apertures.

Abstract: An accessory attachment system includes a baseplate that provides an attachment interface on a support surface. The baseplate is configured to engage with at least one accessory via the attachment interface to secure the accessory to the support surface. The attachment interface provides a plurality of different mounting positions for the at least one accessory. At least one mounting foot is associated with the at least one accessory and is configured to be selectively coupled to the attachment interface to provide a desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions. The at least one mounting foot includes an adjustment feature to account for any warpage of the support surface when the at least one accessory is mounted in the desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions.

Abstract: An adjustable base plate system includes a first track structure configured to extend along one side of a vehicle cargo area and a second track structure configured to extend along an opposite side of a vehicle cargo area. At least one base plate has a first edge and a second edge opposite of the first edge, wherein the first edge is supported by the first track structure and the second edge is supported by the second track structure. The first track structure and the second track structure each comprise at least a first tier track and a second tier track such that a distance between a bottom surface of the at least one base plate and a support surface of the vehicle cargo area can be adjusted.

Abstract: An inductive connection system includes a baseplate that provides an attachment interface on a support surface. The baseplate is configured to engage with at least one accessory via the attachment interface to secure the accessory to the support surface. The attachment interface provides a plurality of different mounting positions for the at least one accessory. At least one puck is selectively coupled to the attachment interface to provide a desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions.

Abstract: An accessory attachment system includes a base plate having a plurality of mounting apertures and an accessory having a primary surface with an attachment interface and a secondary surface providing a support structure to hold one or more items. The attachment interface comprises one or more tabs that are bent outwardly of the primary surface and received within selected mounting apertures of the plurality of mounting apertures.

Abstract: An attachment structure comprises a base support with a plurality of mounting feet and a lock separate from the base support.
