Abstract
A mounting device attachable on a backpack or the like is described that allows a backpack wearer to remove a long gun from the backpack and reattach it without removing the backpack, and without assistance from a second person. The mounting device includes a generally rigid base member with a generally rigid first member pivotally attached to a first end, wherein the first member includes a horizontal surface for receiving a long gun butt and a means for securing the butt to it. A second member, defined as a grasping mechanism, is attached to a second end of the base member and receives a long gun barrel or barrel and forend. A coupling means is also included that allows the mounting device to be attached to a multiplicity of backpack types.
Claims19
A mounting device attachable on a backpack or the like, said mounting device comprising:
- a generally rigid first member having a horizontal surface for receiving a butt of a long gun and a securing means for securing said butt to said first member;
- a second member for receiving a barrel or barrel and forend of said long gun, said second member being defined by a grasping mechanism wherein said grasping mechanism is remotely manipulated from a location near said first member, or from a waist belt or a shoulder strap of said backpack;
- and,
- said first and second members being fastened to opposite ends of a generally rigid base member.
A mounting device attachable on a backpack or the like, said mounting device comprising:
- a generally rigid and elongated base member;
- a generally rigid first member pivotally attached to a first end of said base member, wherein said first member includes a horizontal surface for receiving a long gun butt, and wherein said horizontal surface is adjustable in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of said base member;
- a securing means for securing said long gun butt to said first member, wherein said securing means includes an elastic member;
- a second member attached to a second end of said base member, wherein said second member includes a grasping means for grasping a long gun barrel or barrel and forend, and wherein said grasping means is controlled by a grasping mechanism control handle conveniently located near said first member, or on a front side of a user of said backpack when said backpack is worn;
- and,
- a coupling means for attaching said mounting device to said backpack and form a long gun accessible transportation system on the back of said backpack user.
A combination comprising:
- a backpack having a waist belt and at least one shoulder strap;
- and,
- a long gun mounting device comprising:
- a generally rigid and elongated base member;
