Claims35
A collapsible gun support and shooting rest device which comprises:
- a bipod comprising a pair of generally rigid legs;
- a coupling interconnecting said legs for angular movement relative to one another between at least first and second positions determined at least in part by said coupling;
- said first position being one in which said legs lie generally parallel one another and said bipod is collapsed for carrying or storage, and said second position being one in which said legs rotate relative to one another to form an X shape;
- and
- a holder for helping retain said legs in at least their said first position to facilitate carrying and storage of said device.

A collapsible gun rest which comprises:
- a pair of generally rigid legs, each leg having a covering material disposed thereon at a first end portion;
- a first connector coupling said legs to one another at a point between their ends in a manner permitting connected relative movement of said legs from a generally parallel disposition in which they are collapsed to one of at least acute relative angularity in which one such leg lies across the other to form an X shape having an upper crotch-like portion,
- said covering material disposed on said leg portions defining said crotch-like portion, to thereby provide a covered rest for supporting a firearm.
A foldable gun rest which comprises:
- a pair of generally rigid legs, each leg having a gun-rest portion at a first end and a foot portion at a second end;
- and
- a yoke comprising an integral member defining a first collar shaped to receive one of said legs and a second collar shaped to receive the other such leg, said yoke further having a flexibly hingeable portion connecting said first collar and said second collar, whereby said legs may be moved relative one another between a folded and unfolded position while received by said first and second collars;
- whereby said gun-rest portions of said pair of generally rigid legs are held in position to receive and support a gun when said legs are in their said unfolded position, for more steady shooting and enhanced marksmanship.
