Abstract
A sliding gun rest system includes a rail secured to a structure; a rest body secured to the rail; a support cradle secured to the rest body, the support cradle is configured to hold a firearm and is configured to move relative the rail; and a restraint device secured to the rest body, the restraint device is configured to stop movement of support cradle relative to the rail.
Claims22
A movable support system for a firearm on a structure comprising:
- a. a rail having an elongated design attached to the structure, wherein the rail is attached proximate to an opening in the structure and the elongated design extends along a width of the opening;
- b. a movable rest comprising
- i. a first body that provides a firearm rest having an opening defined in part by a first arm and a second arm, wherein a portion of the firearm fits within the opening,
- ii. a second body attached to the first body by a flexible connection, which holds a bottom section of the first body to a top section of the second body in an abutting relationship, wherein the first body may rotate relative to the second body and the flexible connection allows the first body to temporarily disengage from the abutting relationship with the second body, and
- iii. a rail fitting attached to the second body, wherein the rail fitting complements the rail and is configured to connect the second body to the rail with a movable connection that allows the movable rest to travel the rail along the elongated design and position the first body within the opening;
- and
- c. a restraint system having a pad between the rail and the rail fitting, wherein the pad limits movement along the elongated design when lateral force is not applied to the movable rest, and wherein the pad allows movement when lateral force is applied to the movable rest.

A movable support system for a structure, wherein the movable support system provides a rest for an item comprising:
- a. a rail attached to the structure proximate to a window opening in the structure, wherein the rail is aligned with a bottom of the window opening;
- b. a first body having a rest frame to support the item, wherein the first body has a bottom with a protrusion extending from the bottom, and having an opening defined in part by a first arm and a second arm, wherein at least a portion of the item fits within the opening,
- c. a second body attached to the first body by a flexible connection, wherein the second body includes a top and an opening extending into the second body from the top, wherein the protrusion of the first body fits in the opening and the flexible connection attaches to the protrusion of the first body and flexibly engages the first body to the second body in an abutting relationship, wherein the first body may rotate relative to the second body and the flexible connection allows the first body to temporarily disengage from the second body, and
- d. a rail fitting attached to the second body, wherein the rail fitting complements the rail and is configured to connect the second body to the rail with a movable connection;
- and
- e. a restraint system with a user control on the second body to engage the rail fitting to the rail and limit lateral movement of the second body relative to the rail.
