Abstract
A sling mount is configured to releasably capture a loop of material at one end of a sling. The sling mount comprises a basket, a wire gate, a hinge base, and a base portion. The basket defines an interior cavity and a gap that provides access to the interior cavity and includes a nose adjacent the gap. The wire gate is configured to extend across the gap and has a proximal end and a distal end. The hinge base is configured to receive the proximal end of the wire gate. The proximal end of the wire gate cooperates with the hinge base to generate a biasing force that urges the wire gate toward a closed position in which the wire gate spans the gap of the basket and the distal end rests against the nose. The base portion is configured for attachment to an accessory mounting interface.
Claims19
A sling mount comprising:
- a basket defining an interior cavity and a gap that provides access to the interior cavity, the basket including a nose adjacent the gap;
- a wire gate configured to extend across the gap, the wire gate having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a hinge base configured to receive the proximal end of the wire gate, the proximal end cooperating with the hinge base to generate a biasing force that urges the wire gate toward a closed position in which the wire gate spans the gap of the basket and the distal end rests against the nose;
- and
- a base portion configured for attachment to an accessory mounting interface.
A sling mount comprising:
- a curved basket defining an interior cavity and a gap that provides access to the interior cavity, the curved basket including a nose that defines one end of the gap;
- a hinge base;
- a wire gate having a proximal end affixed to the hinge base and a distal end, the proximal end cooperating with the hinge base to generate a biasing force that urges the wire gate toward a closed position in which the wire gate spans the gap of the curved basket and the distal end rests against the nose;
- and
- a base portion configured for attachment to an accessory mounting interface.
A sling mount comprising:
- a basket comprising a first end and a second end that define a gap therebetween, and an interior cavity configured to receive a loop of material;
- a hinge base;
- a wire gate having a proximal end that forms a hinge with the hinge base and a distal end that selectively closes the gap of the basket;
- and
- a base portion configured for attachment to a rail interface system.
