A wearable housing assembly configured in size and shape for housing a magnet and configured to be selectably connected to a wearable strap, the wearable housing assembly comprising:
- a housing, the housing comprising:
- an interior receptacle formed between two end walls and two side walls and a top surface;
- and
- a first plurality of mounting features configured to secure the housing to one or more interchangeable backings having a corresponding second plurality of mounting features;
- a first interchangeable backing of the one or more interchangeable backings, the interchangeable backing comprising a back surface that encloses the interior receptacle when the interchangeable backing is secured to the housing by the first and second plurality of mounting features, the interchangeable backing forming a first loop, the first loop being positioned opposite the interior receptacle from the back surface, between the back surface and one or more clasping members, the first loop having a first length and a first width extending between the one more clasping members and the back surface, the one or more clasping members for receiving and securing to a strap or belt having a first corresponding width and thickness;
- and
- an adjustable sizing block that is securable to at least three different locations on the one or more clasping members while positioned within the first loop to change a length of the first loop to at least three different lengths, depending on which of the at least three different locations within the first loop the adjustable sizing block is secured, the one or more clasping members comprising at least three holes where the adjustable sizing block is selectively securable while being positioned within the first loop.
A wearable housing assembly configured in size and shape for housing a magnet and configured to be selectably connected to a belt, the wearable housing assembly comprising:
- a housing, the housing comprising:
- an interior receptacle formed between two end walls and two side walls and a top surface;
- and
- a magnet, the magnet being positioned within the interior receptacle;
- and
- a first interchangeable backing comprising a back surface that encloses the interior receptacle when the interchangeable backing is secured to the housing, the interchangeable backing forming a loop, the loop being positioned opposite the interior receptacle from the back surface, between the back surface and one or more clasping members,
- wherein the wearable housing assembly further comprises nesting recesses formed in the housing and nesting structures formed into the one or more interchangeable backing.
A kit comprising a wearable clip and one or more interchangeable backings configured to be connected to one or more belts having different size configurations, the kit comprising:
- a wearable clip assembly configured to be selectably connected to a first belt, the wearable clip assembly comprising:
- a housing, the housing comprising:
- an interior receptacle formed between two end walls and two side walls and a top surface;
- and
- a magnet, the magnet being positioned within the interior receptacle;
- and
- a first interchangeable backing comprising a back surface that encloses the interior receptacle when the interchangeable backing is secured to the housing, the interchangeable backing forming a first loop, the first loop being positioned opposite the interior receptacle from the back surface, between the back surface and one or more clasping members, the first loop extending having a first length and a first width extending between the back surface and the one or more clasping members for receiving and securing to a first belt having a first corresponding width and thickness;
- and
- a second interchangeable backing having a second loop that is configured with at least one of a different width or length than the first loop, wherein the wearable clip assembly is configured to be selectably connected to a second belt having a different width or thickness than the first belt by the second interchangeable backing, and
- wherein at least one of the first loop or the second loop comprises a closed loop.
