Modular clipping system
A clipping apparatus is disclosed. The clipping apparatus connects on the Z-axis but can be activated for release on either the X or Y-axis. The system also has a self-locking mechanism on the handle to create a secure connection along the Z-axis. It is includes a first member that includes a first cavity and a first handle and a second member that includes a second cavity and a second handle. The first member and second member are mated to a spring connection mechanism and a base plate, thereby forming an opening. When the first handle and the second handle are pushed inwards, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the first handle and the second handle are released.
1. A clipping apparatus comprising:
a first member comprising a first cavity and a first handle;
a second member comprising a second cavity and a second handle;
said first member and said second member mated to a spring connection mechanism and a base plate, wherein the mating of the first member and the second member to the spring connection mechanism and the base plate forms an opening;
wherein when the first handle and the second handle are pushed inwards, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the first handle and the second handle are released; and
wherein the spring connection mechanism is sandwiched between the base plate and the first and second members.
2. The clipping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the male fitting is a peg.
3. The clipping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the male fitting has a member that is configured to attach to a magnet or a suction cup.
4. The clipping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is further comprised of a base slide mechanism.
5. The clipping apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the base slide mechanism is configured to attach to webbing.
6. The clipping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is disengageable and rotatable.
7. The clipping apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a clip locking mechanism.
8. The clipping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is further comprised of a plurality of webbing guides.
9. The clipping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clipping apparatus is comprised of plastic, metal, or a combination of the two.
