Quick attach backplate
View Patent ↗An attachment fastening system designed to enable quick attachment of different objects or accessories to a base plate. The system can be modified for use in multiple applications such as a modular backpack to be used for carrying various objects and accessories. The system can also be used to secure other external objects directly to the base as well. The system comprises a base and an attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism has a modular design that can be used to easily swap out various objects or accessories from the base without the need for additional fastening tools. The 10 attachment mechanism comprises a base receiver and an attachment adapter, wherein the base receiver attaches and interlocks with the attachment adapter. Once locked in place, the attachment adapter becomes operably coupled to the base receiver and the object or accessory is safely secured to the base.
