A parts kit comprising at least one pocket as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5 and at least one accessory mount (104) as claimed in claim 6 or 7, wherein optionally, the parts kit comprises, Optionally, a rail (402) sized to reversibly and/or slideably accommodate a pocket (102) as claimed in any one of claims 1 through 5; Optionally, an accessory (106) as claimed in paragraph 8 A parts kit that includes one or more of the following.

Description

Accessory Mount and Pocket The present application relates to a pocket and accessory mount as an accessory mounting system, an accessory, and a parts kit. In the prior art, accessory clip systems have been proposed for attaching various accessories to designated hooks or areas inside a vehicle. These systems generally rely on a universal interface to allow for the interchangeable mounting of various accessories, such as lights, luggage rings, cords, phone holders, or bottles. However, known solutions have notable drawbacks. Certain designs rely on simplified mechanical structures that are inexpensive to produce but offer limited functionality and user convenience. Other designs introduce more sophisticated mechanisms that provide improved handling, but these mechanisms require a larger number of components, including parts that must be sourced and assembled separately, thereby increasing manufacturing complexity and costs. Consequently, existing accessory clip systems fail to achieve an optimal trade-off between ease of production, economy, and improved usability regarding the interface and hook mechanism. Therefore, there is a need for an accessory clip system that combines improved user functionality with manufacturing simplification while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Accordingly, a first non-exclusive objective of the present invention is to provide a pocket suitable for holding an accessory mount, said pocket comprising at least one pocket tooth portion positioned inside the pocket and arranged to engage with a toothed wheel of the accessory mount. The pocket may include a housing having a well to capture a toothed wheel. The pocket may include a magnetic means for forming an interface with a complementary magnetic means of an accessory mount. At least one pocket tooth may be configured to allow an accessory mount to be held in multiple positions relative to the pocket by indexed rotation of the tooth wheel. The pocket can be reversibly attached along the rail and/or slide. The present invention also relates to an accessory mount comprising a toothed wheel, the toothed wheel having a size determined to be held firmly inside the pocket of claim 1, and engaging with at least one pocket toothed portion. The accessory mount may further include a complementary magnetic means for forming an interface with the magnetic means of the pocket. Additionally or alternatively, the accessory mount may further include a connector for connecting the accessory mount to an accessory, such as a bayonet fixing. The present invention also relates to an accessory comprising an accessory mount. The accessory is any of the following: luggage rings; lights; or self-winding cords. Additionally or alternatively, a pivot point is provided in the accessory so that the accessory or an element of the accessory can rotate on an axis different from the rotation axis of the accessory mount. The present invention also relates to an accessory mounting system comprising a pocket and an accessory mount. Additionally, or alternatively, the accessory mount is located within the pocket. In the example, the accessory mounting system further comprises one or more rails and accessories sized to optionally accommodate a pocket as described above reversibly and/or slidingly, said accessories being optionally as described above. The present invention also relates to a component kit comprising at least one pocket as described above and at least one accessory mount as described above, optionally, the component kit comprises a rail sized to optionally accommodate the pocket as described above reversibly and/or slidingly; further comprising one or more accessories, said accessories being optionally as described above. Now, embodiments of the present invention are described below merely as examples with reference to the attached drawings. Figure 1 shows a front view of an accessory mounting system.
