Abstract
Portable equipment for immobilizing personal firearms characterized by an articulation connecting the baseplate to the rail, and comprising an intermediate part rotatingly connected to the baseplate about axis (XX) by a coupling element. The intermediate portion forces the rail onto its contact surface by means of a tilting member. The freely mounted connecting element is connected to the intermediate part by a pivot axis. The tilting member including a head inserted into the rail and a slide integral with the head and the intermediate part.
Claims8
An apparatus for immobilizing and holding a personal firearm during test firing, said apparatus comprising:
- a base plate adapted to be secured to a support;
- a connecting element pivotably connected to said base plate for rotation around a first axis;
- an intermediate component pivotably connected to said connecting element for rotation around a second axis, said second axis perpendicular to said first axis, said intermediate component having a bearing surface;
- an elongated rail pivotably secured to said intermediate component for rotation around a third axis, said rail including a cavity, said third axis perpendicular to both said first and second axes;
- a plurality of gun locks slidably mounted on said rail for sliding longitudinally along said elongated rail, each said gun locks including a slide arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said rail, said slides each including a U-shaped holder, said U-shaped holders adapted to receive a firearm;
- a first clamping member for securing said connecting element against rotation around said first axis and said intermediate component against rotation around said second axis;
- a tilting member for pivotably securing said rail to said intermediate component, said tilting member comprising a head received in said rail cavity for enabling said rail to pivot relative to said head, a slide secured to said head and slidably received in said intermediate component, and a second clamping member operatively connected to said slide and said intermediate component for urging said rail against said bearing surface and for thereby securing said rail against rotation around said third axis;
- and
- first and second locking means for respectively locking said intermediate component and said rail to said base plate.
