Headwear accessory mounting clip and system

A clip body for interchangeable mounting of accessory devices on a hat brim, the clip body comprising:

• a first panel and a second panel, the first and second panels respectively having a length, width, top surface, bottom surface, proximal end and distal end;
• the first panel and second panel each resiliently connected at their distal ends to a nose segment;
• the nose segment having a front-facing surface and a brim-facing surface;
• the second panel having a wedge shaped portion in which the width of the panel increases from the distal end of the panel to the proximal end of the panel;
• the bottom surface of the first panel being concave;
• the top surface of the second panel being convex;
• and
• the proximal end of the first panel including a first attachment structure sized and shaped to releasably attach to a complementary second attachment structure connected to an end-piece that includes an accessory device mounting structure.

A system for mounting accessory devices on a hat brim, the system comprising:

• a clip body and an insert;
• the clip body comprising a top body panel and a bottom body panel, the top body panel and bottom body panel respectively having a length, width, inner surface, outer surface, proximal end and distal end;
• the top body panel and bottom body panel each being connected at their distal ends to a body nose segment;
• the top body panel and bottom body panel having and defining an intra-panel spacing between them;
• the body nose segment having an inner surface and an outer surface;
• the bottom body panel having a wedge shaped portion in which the width of the bottom body panel increases from the distal end of the panel to the proximal end of the panel;
• the inner surface of the top body panel being concave;
• the inner surface of the bottom body panel being convex;
• the outer surface of the top body panel at the proximal end of the top body panel including structure sized and shaped for receiving an accessory device;
• and
• the insert being sized and shaped so as to be received by the clip body so as to reduce the intra-panel spacing between the top body panel and bottom body panel.
