Abstract
A gun universal support lift provides for sand bag adjustable rapid manipulation up and down, together with adjustable swiveling about an upright axis, and also adjustment to controllable V-shape, to support different hand guns in different positions, during shooting; also dual support of sand bags at two different levels, with swiveling, is provided.
Claims14
In a gun or pistol sighting and lifting device the combination comprising:
- (a) a base,
- (b) a vertical actuator mounted on the base,
- (c) holder structure mounted on the actuator to form multiple, upward opening, saddle shaped recesses, and
- (d) the recesses adapted to support at least one sandbag received in one of the recesses at selected height, and supported by the holder structure to form generally V-shaped walls of a groove which opens upwardly, to in turn support a gunstock, or the hands of a person gripping a pistol,
- (e) whereby the gun or pistol supported by the sandbag V-shaped walls is accurately steadied, for sighting,
- (f) said holder structure comprising a first generally U-shaped plate having upper generally horizontal edges and said sandbag covering said upper edges,
- (g) and said holder structure also including a second U-shaped plate, one plate carried by the actuator and the other plate carried by said one plate, the two plates being at different levels.

- (b) a vertical actuator mounted on the base,
- (c) holder structure mounted on the actuator to form multiple, upward opening, saddle shaped recesses, and
- (d) the recesses adapted to support at least one sandbag received in one of the recesses at selected height, and supported by the holder structure to form generally V-shaped walls of a groove which opens upwardly, to in turn support a gunstock, or the hands of a person gripping a pistol,
- (e) whereby the gun or pistol supported by the sandbag V-shaped walls is accurately steadied, for sighting,
- (f) said actuator including a plunger and cylinder, the plunger supporting said holder structure to be adjustable rotatable about a vertical axis,
- (g) said actuator being an hydraulic actuator and including finger operable control means above the base to control elevation and lowering of the plunger.
- (h) and including a tension spring extending upwardly and operatively connected between the holder structure and the base for urging the holder structure downwardly thereby to effect more rapid draining of actuating fluid for more rapidly lowering the plunger and said holder structure.
