Abstract
A shooting device, including at least one of a barrel, a rail and a stock, and a clampable bipod. The clampable bipod includes a clamp which is releasably clamped to at least one of the barrel, the rail and the stock, and a first leg and a second leg connected to the clamp.
Claims6
A shooting device, comprising:
- at least one of a barrel, a rail and a stock;
- and
- a clampable bipod including a clamp which is releasably clamped to at least one of said barrel, said rail and said stock, and a first leg and a second leg connected to said clamp, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface, wherein each of said first leg and said second leg include a receiver connected to said clamp and an extender connect to said receiver, said receiver includes a longitudinal direction and a plurality of holes extending in said longitudinal direction, said extender includes a spring ball received in any of said plurality of holes.
A clampable bipod for use with a shooting device, comprising;
- a first leg and a second leg, each of said first leg and said second leg including a receiver connected to said clamp and an extender connect to said receiver, said receiver including a longitudinal direction and a plurality of holes extending in said longitudinal direction, said extender including a spring ball received in any of said plurality of holes;
- and
- a clamp connected to said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface.
A clampable bipod for use with a shooting device, comprising:
- a first leg and a second leg, each of said first leg and said second leg including a receiver, an extender received within said receiver, a collet connected to at least one of said extender and said receiver, and a collet nut connected to said collet;
- and
- a clamp connected to said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface.
A clampable bipod for use with a shooting device, comprising:
- a first leg and a second leg;
- and
- a clamp connected to said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, ends fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface, further including an aperture in said clamp, said aperture including a longitudinal direction, at least one of said first leg and said second leg are rotatable about an a axis transverse to said longitudinal direction.
A method of attaching a clampable bipod to a shooting device, comprising the steps of:
- positioning said clampable bipod adjacent to at least one of a barrel, a rail and a stock of said shooting device;
- clamping said clampable bipod to at least one of said barrel, said rail and said stock, said clampable bipod including a clamp connected to both a first leg and a second leg said clamp, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface;
- and
- rotating at least one of said first leg and said second leg about an axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of said clamp.
