Modulated cargo mounting track system
A modulated mounting track system and method are disclosed. The modulated mounting track includes, for example, a mounting track having an elongated rail with at least one elongated slot and one or more mounting points and a mounting attachment having an accessory docking port terminating in a track mounting end with a docking channel configured to removably mate with the elongated slot in the mounting track. The mounting attachment includes a locked and an unlocked position for removably mating the mounting attachment to the mounting track and to secure the mounting attachment from being unintentionally dislodged. A frunk of an electric vehicle having a modulated mounting track is disclosed. Accessories are stowed in modulated accessory mounting attachments removably and securely attached to a mounting track. Firearm and firearm accessories are stowed in modulated firearm and accessory mounting attachments removably and securely attached to a mounting track.
1 . A modulated mounting track system, comprising:
a mounting track comprising an elongated rail having at least one elongated slot and one or more mounting points;
a mounting attachment comprising an accessory docking port terminating in a track mounting end having a docking channel configured to removably mate with the elongated slot in the mounting track, at least one protrusion disposed within the docking channel, the at least one protrusion arranged generally perpendicular to the docking channel and having at least one surface for mating against an edge of the elongated slot for locking the mounting attachment in position relative to the track
wherein the mounting attachment comprises a locked and an unlocked position for removably mating the mounting attachment to the mounting track and to secure the mounting attachment from being unintentionally dislodged.
2 . The modulated mounting track system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion comprises opposing, the opposing pins arranged perpendicular to the docking channel and having at least one cammed surface for mating against opposing edges of the elongated slot.
3 . The modulated mounting track system of claim 1 , wherein the docking channel having a gap distance that approximates the thickness of the opposing edges of the elongated slot.
4 . The modulated mounting track system of claim 3 , wherein the gap distance of the docking channel is adjustable for controlling an amount of friction between the docking channel and the opposing edges of the elongated slot.
5 . The modulated mounting track system of claim 1 , wherein the accessory docking port is configured to removably receive and secure a magazine or a portion of a firearm.
6 . The modulated mounting track system of claim 1 , wherein the accessory docking port comprises a hollow opening configured to removably receive and secure a portion of a firearm or a firearm accessory.
