Abstract
A holder for a hunting rifle or other weapon is comprised of a pair of identical assemblies, each of which is adapted to be secured to an individual's thigh. Secured to an individual's thighs, these two assemblies provide a convenient holder for supporting a rifle or other weapon in a position across the individual's lap, thereby freeing the individual's hands to perform other tasks. The weapon, however, is still advantageously positioned so that the individual has ready access to the weapon should game suddenly appear.
Claims14
A weapon holder comprising substantially identical first and second assemblies, each of said assemblies associated with the thigh of an individual and comprising:
- a strap adapted to be worn around one thigh of an individual, said strap defining a length;
- and
- a hook, having a shank portion and defining an opening, said shank portion being secured to said strap such that said opening is substantially perpendicular to the length of said strap;
- wherein said first assembly can be worn around one thigh of an individual, and said second assembly can be worn around a second thigh of the individual, said first and second assemblies cooperating to allow a weapon to be positioned across the lap of the individual and received by the hooks of the first and second assemblies.
A weapon holder comprising substantially identical first and second assemblies, said first assembly being adapted to be worn around one thigh of an individual, and said second assembly adapted to be worn around a second thigh of the individual, said first and second assemblies cooperating to allow a weapon to be positioned across the lap of the individual and held by said first and second assemblies, each of said assemblies comprising:
- a strap adapted to be worn around the individual's thigh and defining a length;
- a hook, having a shank portion and defining an opening;
- a base portion adapted to receive and secure the shank portion of said hook and having first and second sides, a first end of said strap being secured to and extending from the first side of said base portion;
- a ring secured to and extending from the second side of said base portion;
- a plurality of fabric hook portions secured to said strap near a second end of said strap;
- and
- a plurality of fabric loop portions secured to said strap along a portion of the length of said strap;
- wherein said strap can be wrapped around one thigh of the individual, threaded through said ring and folded over on itself, thereby allowing said hook portions and said loop portions to mate, thereby securing each said assembly around the thigh of the individual.
A weapon holder comprising substantially identical first and second assemblies, each of said assemblies comprising:
- a strap adapted to be worn around an individual's thigh and defining a length;
- and
- a hook defining an opening and including a flat base portion, said base portion defining two slots, said strap being threaded through said slots, and said hook being oriented relative to said strap such that said opening is substantially perpendicular to the length of said strap;
- wherein said first assembly can be worn around one thigh of an individual, and said second assembly can be worn around a second thigh of the individual, said first and second assemblies cooperating to allow a weapon to be positioned across the lap of the individual and received by the hooks of the first and second assemblies.
A weapon holder for positioning of a weapon while allowing an individual, in a sitting position and forming a lap, complete use of his hands, comprising:
- a pair of straps, one of said straps being wrapped around one thigh of the sitting individual, and the second of said straps being wrapped around a second thigh of the sitting individual;
- and
- a pair of weapon securing elements each associated with a respective one of said straps, each of said securing elements having a hook configuration defining a concavity and a distal end, and having a shank portion secured to said respective strap, each of said concavities being oriented such that the distal end of said securing element is pointed essentially up the thigh of the individual, thereby allowing the weapon to be positioned across the individual's lap and within said concavities.
