Abstract
A firearm attachment and method for transport implementing a receiver plate affixed permanently, semi-permanently, or removably to tactical, or non-tactical clothing items or accessories. The receiver plate has one or more apertures with means of latching, clasping, or otherwise grasping by way of a fork, pin, keyhole, or other geometry that may cause an interference fit with an insertion pin, post, or other appendage. The insertion post may be a modified or re-purposed take-down pin that is a modification or improvement of a component already existing on a firearm. A insertion post may also be affixed to an accessory aperture or other device, existing on or mounted on a firearm or on accessories mounted to the firearm.
Claims24
A mounting device comprising;
- a housing having two housing apertures;
- and
- a capture interface having two spaced apart latching apertures aligned with the two housing apertures and wherein the capture interface is moveable within the housing and the latching apertures are configured to receive and couple to one or more insertion posts to secure a first end of the insertion posts to the mounting device.
A receiver mount comprising:
- a receiver plate body;
- and
- one or more connection mechanisms on the plate body and configured to receive an insertion pin or an adapter pin for supporting a device on the receiver plate body,
- wherein the one or more connection mechanisms each comprises a receiver hitch latching aperture for receiving and removably coupling to a corresponding end of the insertion post or adapter pin.
A method for mounting a device onto a receiver mount comprising:
- coupling a receiver plate body to clothing or equipment;
- moving a receiver plate within the receiver plate body to a first position;
- inserting a terminal end of one or more insertion posts secured to the device into one or more corresponding latching apertures in the receiver plate body;
- releasing a latch on the receiver plate body to move the receiver plate to a second position for latching the one or more insertion posts therein;
- and
- retaining the device on the receiver mount.
An insertion post comprising a shaft terminating in a head and a midpoint radial slot, a capture geometry, and an extended length, wherein the capture geometry comprises an o-ring, retaining ring, retaining pin, or bushing configured to allow the extended length to couple to a takedown pin aperture on a firearm and prevent the shaft from being driven into the aperture on the firearm.
