Abstract
A rest for a firearm or the like that attaches to the sling swivel on the forearm of the firearm. Said rest is comprised of two major assemblies. First assembly attaches to the sling swivel and provides a surrogate sling swivel and a female receptacle for the second assembly. Second assembly consists of male protrusion that mates with first assembly and two lightweight legs that can be quickly assembled and disassembled. Said rest allows quick attachment and detachment in the field. With a static leg position, said rest allows the ability to move the muzzle of the firearm in a conical motion, and randomly within the confines of the cone, while concurrently adjusting the cant of the rifle.
Claims17
A firearm rest comprising:
- (a) two legs connected to a common leg junction means;
- (b) said leg junction means coupled to a firearm mounting means, and;
- (c) said firearm mounting means statically attachable to a firearm;
- (d) leg attachment means interconnecting each of said legs to said common leg junction means whereby each leg may be moved relative to said leg junction means independently of the other leg;
- said leg junction means and said leg attachment means being so constructed and arranged such that the interconnection therebetween enables said leg junction means to be horizontally panned, vertically panned, and canted as a result of relative movement of said leg junction means with respect to said two legs that is afforded by said leg attachment means whereby said firearm rest, when attached to a firearm and having said legs placed on a supporting surface, said firearm has the ability to concurrently rotate about an axis extending from the center of the earth to said firearm mounting means, rotate about an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the firearm and rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis of the firearm as well as the axis extending from the center of the earth to said firearm mounting means, as a result of relative movement of said leg junction means with respect to said two legs.
A firearm rest comprising:
- (a) two legs connected to a common leg junction means;
- (b) said leg junction means having leg attachment means whereby said legs are allowed to move in a conical motion and/or randomly within confines of the cone defined by said conical motion, independent of each other;
- (c) said leg junction means coupled to a firearm mounting means;
- and
- (d) said firearm mounting means statically attachable to a firearm;
- whereby said firearm rest, when attached to a firearm and having said legs placed on a supporting surface, said firearm's muzzle can rotate in a conical motion with said leg junction means maintaining a position at the point of the cone and said legs remaining in a static position while allowing concurrent cant adjustments of said firearm and random movement of said firearm's muzzle within the confines of said cone.
A firearm rest comprising:
- (a) two legs connected to a common leg junction means;
- (b) said leg junction means coupled to a firearm mounting means, and;
- (c) said firearm mounting means statically attachable to a firearm;
- said leg junction means being so constructed and arranged with respect to said two legs and with respect to said firearm mounting means that a firearm attached to said firearm mounting means may be horizontally panned, vertically panned, and canted as a result of movement occurring within said leg junction means relative to said two legs whereby said firearm rest, when attached to a firearm and having said legs placed on a supporting surface, said firearm has the ability to concurrently rotate about an axis extending from the center of the earth to said firearm mounting means, rotate about an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the firearm and rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis of the firearm as well as the axis extending from the center of the earth to said firearm mounting means, as a result of relative movement of said leg junction means with respect to said two legs.
