Self-centring device for supporting scopes on rifle ribs

A device for supporting scopes on a rifle having a rib, comprising:

• a body, having a longitudinal axis and a surface for supporting a scope, and
• one or more thrust elements mounted on the body, whose longitudinal position is adjustable by the user,
• at least two claws mounted on the body and constrained to a corresponding thrust element, which are opposed one another with respect to the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the claws are movable toward and away with respect to the longitudinal axis, in response to the displacements imparted by the user to the corresponding thrust element and can be clamped on the rib of the rifle, and
• wherein the thrust elements have axial symmetry with respect to the longitudinal axis and the clamping of the rib by the claws takes place with the rib aligned with said longitudinal axis,
• wherein the thrust elements have a central portion coaxial to the longitudinal axis and slidably housed in a corresponding first seat of the body, and the device comprises, for each thrust element, an adjusting screw or grub screw for adjusting the longitudinal position, which is screwed through the body and through the thrust element.

• wherein the thrust elements have axial symmetry with respect to the longitudinal axis and the clamping of the rib by the claws takes place with the rib aligned with said longitudinal axis,
• wherein the thrust elements are Y-shaped, with a central portion arranged coaxial to the longitudinal axis, and slidably housed in a corresponding first seat of the body and two projections which extend symmetrically from the central portion, with an angle between 30° and 60°, and preferably 45°, with respect to the longitudinal axis, and wherein said projections are slidably inserted in an inner guide of the claws, and wherein the body comprises second seats of the claws, and said second seats extend orthogonally to the longitudinal axis and the claws are inserted in the respective second seats, thus being slidable in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis in response to the thrusts imparted by said projections.
