Abstract: A coupler for coupling an accessory to a provided article of wear comprises a front plate and a back plate. The front plate and the back plate may each comprise a magnetic material. The front plate may include a mount interface configured to receive the accessory and a slot configured to receive a portion of the article of wear. The slot may be configured to suspend the front plate relative to the article of wear via the portion of the article of wear. Engagement of the slot with the portion of the article of wear may align the front plate to the article of wear. The back plate may be configured to couple with the front plate over the article of wear via attraction between the magnetic materials. Engagement of the magnetic materials may provide a retention force to secure the front plate to the article of wear.

Abstract: An articulating joint for coupling an accessory to a support comprises a platform, a base, and a wedge. The platform couples to one of the support and the accessory, and the base couples to the other of the support and the accessory. The platform includes a hinge having a bore and teeth positioned radially around the bore. The base includes an undercut and a complementary hinge having a thru hole. The wedge includes complementary teeth positioned radially around a passageway and a ramp that cooperates with the undercut of the base. A shaft having a threaded portion engages a threaded insert to couple the hinge of the platform, the wedge, and the complementary hinge of the base. Rotating the shaft to a locked position causes the teeth of the platform to mesh with the complementary teeth of the wedge to retain the platform in an orientation relative to the base.
