Abstract
An accessory attachment system includes a channel element arranged to receive one or more repositionable accessories. A pivotally mounted spring-based clasp with a hook element engages a lower lip of the channel element. Restraint cooperating elements such as protrusions or recesses of an accessory are configured to cooperate with laterally spaced accessory motion restraints such as recesses or protrusions of the channel element to inhibit lateral movement and rotation of an accessory body. An accessory including laterally spaced restraint cooperating elements and a pivotally mounted spring-biased clasp, as well as an attachment method, are further provided.
