Claims20
An attachment device for attaching an elongate rifle sling to a rifle having first and second sling mounts provided thereon, the sling mounts each having a transverse bore therethrough, the rifle sling extending longitudinally in a first direction from the first sling mount to the second sling mount, the attachment device comprising:
- first and second sling sleeves disposed at respective ends of the rifle sling, each said sling sleeve including an intermediate portion and a free end portion folded back over and secured to said intermediate portion, said intermediate and free end portions cooperating to define a pair of loops which are spaced-apart in a second direction traverse to the first direction with a notch extending therebetween, and a passage extending in said second direction through said loops, said notch extending in said first direction through said respective sling sleeve, the respective sling mount being disposed within said notch and the transverse bore thereof extending in said second direction coaxially with said passage;
- first and second elongate retaining pins each having a longitudinal axis extending in said second direction within said respective passage and passing through said transverse bore disposed coaxially therein;
- each said retaining pin including means defining a pair of through openings extending transversely of the longitudinal axis of said retaining pin, with each opening being oriented adjacent a respective end thereof;
- and
- at least one retaining strip means at each end of said rifle sling for facilitating a locking of said retaining pin in said passage by having a free end of said retaining strip means passing through at least one of said pair of openings in said retaining pin.
A device for attaching an elongate rifle sling to a rifle having first and second sling mounts provided thereon, the sling mounts each having a transverse bore therethrough, the rifle sling extending from the first sling mount to the second sling mount, said device comprising:
- first and second sling sleeves disposed at respective ends of the rifle sling and each having at least one circumferentially continuous loop being coaxially aligned with the transverse bore of the respective sling mount;
- first and second retaining pins extending through said respective axially aligned loops and transverse bores;
- each said retaining pin including at least one opening therethrough;
- retaining means for limiting relative movement between said retaining pin and said loop in a first direction extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of said retaining pin;
- and
- retaining strip means at one end of said rifle sling for preventing movement of said retaining pin in a direction opposite said first direction by having a free end of said retaining strip means pass through said opening.
