Abstract
An interchangeable attachment system, the system including a module and an interchangeable attachment leg. The module includes a body defined by a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter wall extending around the body and from the top surface of the body to the bottom surface of the body, and an attachment mount disposed on the perimeter wall of the body. The attachment mount includes an outer face extending from the perimeter wall and a pair of rails, the pair of rails extending between the outer face and the perimeter wall. The interchangeable attachment leg includes a vertical body having one or more sidewalls defining a frame. The frame is sized to receive the attachment mount and slidably engage the pair of rails of the attachment mount.

An interchangeable attachment system for a vehicle module, the system comprising:
- a module having a body defined by a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter wall extending around the body and from the top surface of the body to the bottom surface of the body, and an attachment mount disposed on the perimeter wall of the body and including an outer face extending from the perimeter wall and a pair of rails, the pair of rails extending between the outer face and the perimeter wall;
- and
- an interchangeable attachment leg including a vertical body having one or more sidewalls defining a frame, the frame sized to receive the attachment mount and slidably engage the pair of rails of the attachment mount, and including one or more tuning ribs disposed on an inner surface of the frame.
An interchangeable attachment system, the system comprising:
- a module having a body defined by a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter wall extending around the body and from the top surface of the body to the bottom surface of the body, and an attachment mount disposed on the perimeter wall of the body, the attachment mount including an outer face extending from the perimeter wall and a pair of rails, the outer face including a cutout;
- and
- an interchangeable attachment leg, the interchangeable attachment leg including a vertical body having one or more sidewalls defining a frame and a catch, the frame sized to receive the attachment mount and slidably engage the pair of rails of the attachment mount, and including one or more tuning ribs disposed on an inner surface of the frame, the catch selectively engaged with the cutout of the outer face.
