Claims4
A gun mounting system configured for resting a weapon thereon, said system comprising:
- a bar being oriented horizontally;
- and
- a plurality of mounts being releasably positioned on said bar in an upright position, each of said mounts being configured to have a weapon rest thereon, each of said mounts including:
- a bracket positioned on said bar, said bracket including a middle portion extending between a first outward portion and a second outward portion, said first outward portion and second outward portion being spaced apart from each other such that said bracket has a U-shape, said first outward portion and said second outward portion each having a distal end with respect to said middle portion, said bar being positioned between said first and second outward portions and adjacent to said middle portion, said first outward portion has a first aperture extending therethrough, said first aperture being positioned closer to said distal end of said first portion than said middle portion, said second outward portion having a second aperture extending therethrough, said second aperture being aligned with said first aperture;
- a securing assembly being mounted on said bracket and releasably retaining said bracket at a selected position on said bar, said securing assembly including
- a fastener being attached to said second outward portion, said fastener being aligned with said second aperture,
- a threaded rod extending through said first and second apertures and being threadably coupled to said fastener, and
- a knob being threadably coupled to said threaded rod, said bracket being positioned between said fastener and said knob, said knob being selectively rotatable in a first direction to bias said first outward portion toward said second outward portion such that said bracket frictionally engages said bar;
- and
- a saddle being attached to said securing assembly and extending upwardly therefrom.
