As used herein, the terms “Coupling,” “Coupling Member,” and “Coupler” refer to one or more devices, components, members, interfaces, assemblies, structures, or combinations thereof that may connect, secure, attach, engage, retain, join, or otherwise facilitate coupling between two or more components, objects, assemblies, or structures. A coupler may provide a direct coupling between structures or an indirect coupling through one or more intermediate components or structures. A coupler may provide a fixed, movable, adjustable, removable, releasable, temporary, or permanent coupling and may permit or constrain relative movement between coupled structures. In certain embodiments, a coupler may be rigid, semi-rigid, flexible, semiflexible, pliable, elastic, resilient, articulated, or otherwise configured. A coupler may include, for example, one or more clamps, brackets, fasteners, hooks, catches, latches, pins, bolts, screws, straps, receivers, engagement members, connectors, interlocking structures, mounting interfaces, or the like. In certain embodiments, a coupler may engage an existing vehicle structure, mounting structure, or attachment feature.
