Embodiments described herein may be directed to an attachment system for coupling an accessory or component to a consumer product. The attachment system may include a captive locking mechanism that may be incorporated with the accessory or non-product side attachment assembly. The captive locking mechanism may include one or more spring-bar components that retain the engagement mechanism in a recess or feature formed in a component of the accessory. The attachment system may also include a release mechanism that may be incorporated with the product-side attachment assembly of a consumer product. The release mechanism may be captive or otherwise retained in the body of the device and may include one or more spring-bar components that retain the release mechanism in a recess or featured formed into the body of the device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a locking assembly for an attachment system of a consumer product. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an attachment unit that is configured to be inserted and removed from a housing of a consumer product. The attachment unit and/or the housing include an expansion component or other such locking assembly configured to releasably secure the attachment unit within the housing.

A neckwear includes a neckband and a neckband module and may further include one or more fastener members and one or more display segments for coins, medals or bars. The neckband is connected to said neckband module, and said one or more fastener members pivotably connects said neckband module and said one or more display segments. Also provided for a neckwear are a hermetically sealed neckband module or display segment, a display segment configured to be intra-changeable, display inserts for a neckband module or display segments, torso segments, and a neckband module with a member of a fastener to accommodate interchangeable display segments.

A vest utilizing an assembly and release apparatus and method incorporating a C-shaped clip defining a channel and a smaller slot extending along the channel, attachable to a first location on the vest. A pin of the apparatus is slidably receivable in the channel through the open end to assemble the C-shaped clip and the pin together. The pin has a tab or strip that extends through the slot, for attaching the pin to a second location on the vest. The apparatus includes at least one detent element associated with one of the C-shaped clip and the pin, cooperatively engageable with the other of the C-shaped clip and the pin for retaining the pin in the channel, and releasable in a predetermined manner to allow slidably removing the pin from the channel to provide a quiet and rapid manner of operation.

A neckwear includes a neckband and a neckband module and may further include one or more fastener members and one or more display segments for coins, medals or bars. The neckband is connected to said neckband module, and said one or more fastener members pivotably connects said neckband module and said one or more display segments. Also provided for a neckwear are a hermetically sealed neckband module or display segment, a display segment configured to be intra-changeable, display inserts for a neckband module or display segments, torso segments, and a neckband module with a member of a fastener to accommodate interchangeable display segments.

An attachment assembly has a hook component and a bracket component to which the hook component is removably attached. The hook component has a base body, a hook element attached to the base body, an attachment device for attaching an item to the hook component, and a first magnet connected to the hook element. The bracket component has a base surface, a front surface, and a hook-supporting strut between the base surface and the front surface. The bracket component has a second magnet connected to the base surface. Inserting the hook element in a space between the base surface and the front surface causes the magnets to attract each other and force the hook element through the space to rest on the hook-supporting strut.

A neckwear includes a neckband and a neckband module and may further include one or more fastener members and one or more display segments for coins, medals or bars. The neckband is connected to said neckband module, and said one or more fastener members pivotably connects said neckband module and said one or more display segments. Also provided for a neckwear are a hermetically sealed neckband module or display segment, a display segment configured to be intra-changeable, display inserts for a neckband module or display segments, torso segments, and a neckband module with a member of a fastener to accommodate interchangeable display segments.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a locking assembly for an attachment system of an electronic device. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an attachment unit that is configured to be inserted and removed from a housing of a consumer product. The attachment unit and/or the housing includes a catch member or other such locking assembly configured to releasably secure the attachment unit within the housing.

A rapid release device (1) for wearable articles (2) comprising: a first body (3) having a portion (3a) for coupling to a first part (2a) of said article (2) and defining at least one through cavity (6); a second body (4) associated with the first body (3) in a reversible manner and having a portion (4a) for coupling to a second part (2b) of said article (2) and at least one interlocking element (7) housed in said cavity (6); release means (8) obtained in said first and second body (3, 4) to allow the interlocking element (7) to slide outside of said cavity (6) and define a decoupling condition of the first body (3) from the second body (4); said interlocking element (7) and said cavity (6) slide with respect to each other along a respective direction (A) corresponding to the lateral development direction of the first and second body (3; 4); said interlocking element (7) and said cavity (6) extending along a same longitudinal axis (Y) for a dimension (D) smaller than the dimension (L) of the first and second body (3; 4) along said lateral development direction.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a removable module and a housing for an attachment system of a consumer product. The removable module includes a locking mechanism comprising a first portion having a substantially planar top surface and second portion that comprises a substantially non-planar bottom surface. The first portion and the second portion are coupled together. The locking mechanism also includes a first spring mechanism coupled between the first portion and the second portion. The first spring mechanism causes the first portion to be biased away from the second portion. The locking mechanism also includes a second spring mechanism. The second spring mechanism causes the substantially planar top surface of the first portion to be biased substantially flush with respect to the removable module and also causes the substantially non-planar bottom surface of the second portion to be biased proud with respect to the removable module.
