Systems and methods for mounting objects

A method of modifying or manufacturing an object to facilitate coupling of said object to at least one track mounting system comprising the steps of:

• selecting at least one track of said at least one track mounting system to be compatible with said object;
• selecting at least one retention device of said at least one track mounting system to be compatible with said object;
• selecting at least one aperture shape that allows passage of a base of said at least one retention device through said at least one aperture and prevents passage of at least one of the group consisting of a head of said at least one retention device, an object coupled to a head of said at least one retention device, and combinations thereof;
• and
• creating at least one aperture having said at least one aperture shape in a body of said object,
• wherein said at least one retention device mates with at least one aperture of at least one track of said track mounting system;
• and
• wherein passing said at least one retention device through said at least one aperture and mating said at least one retention device with said at least one track captures said body between said at least one retention device and said at least one track.

A method for coupling an object to a track mounting system comprising the steps of:

• passing at least one retention device through at least one aperture located in said object;
• and
• inserting said at least one retention device into at least one track aperture located in at least one track of said track mounting system;
• wherein upon completion of said method, said object is captured between at least a portion of said retention device and at least a portion of said at least one track.

An apparatus for insertion into a track aperture of a track for capturing at least one object between said apparatus and said track comprising:

• a base;
• and
• a head coupled to said base, said head including at least one of the group consisting of a protrusion, a component, and combinations thereof;
• wherein said at least one of the group consisting of a protrusion, a component, and combinations thereof prevents passage of said head through at least one capture aperture;
• and
• wherein at least a portion of a first perimeter of said head extends beyond a corresponding portion of a second perimeter of said base.

An apparatus for insertion into a track aperture of a track for capturing at least one object between said apparatus and said track:

• a base;
• and
• a head coupled to said base;
• wherein at least a portion of said head overhangs at least a portion of said base;
• and
• wherein said at least a portion of said head prevents passage of said head through at least one capture aperture.
