Definitions

  • a gun rest is a device used to stabilize a firearm when in use. It can be as simple as a sturdy stick that allows a shooter to increase the connection of a firearm to the ground. By placing a firearm on a steady rest, the shooter can better control the gun and thereby improve accuracy in shot placement. In the context of hunting, the portability lOand ease and speed of re-positioning a gun rest is very important. Opportunities to harvest wild-game do not present themselves in reliably predictable directions, so being able to quickly move or place a gun rest is a very desirable characteristic.
  • the present application discloses a portable shooting stabilization assist clamp
  • the clamp 15 primarily designed as a gun rest to enhance stability of a firearm.
  • the increased stability results in better aim and shot placement.
  • the clamp may be secured to almost any fixed firm surface, such as a fence or branch, but it works particularly well when clamped on a deer stand which provides railings.
  • Previously available gun rests required the rest to be securely fastened to a railing 0using some sort of screw based method. As a result, the gun rest could not be moved quickly for use in a different position or direction.
  • the presently disclosed portable shooting stabilization assist clamp can be quickly removed and quietly re-positioned on another surface when needed. No tools are required to operate the device. The hunter simply applies pressure by squeezing the clamp into an open position, places it 5in the desired location and releases the pressure on the clamp. This can normally be accomplished with one hand. This one handed operation allows the user to attached the rest with one hand while holding a firearm in the other hand. As a result, the user does not have to put down the firearm or take valuable time to secure the device, as would be required when using a previously available rest design.
  • the preferred manufacturing method utilizes primarily injection-molded plastic. As a result, the clamp is quieter than metal in the field and impervious to weather related corrosion. The use of plastics also reduces the weight as compared to metal.
  • FIG. 1 shows a portable shooting stabilization assist clamp while in use.
  • the clamp is attached to a railing and supports the firearm fore-stock, forend, frame, stock, orbarrel.
  • FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a portable shooting stabilization assist clamp.
  • FIG. 3 shows a portable shooting stabilization assist clamp.
  • FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the portable shooting stabilization assist clamp.
  • FIG. 5 shows another alternative embodiment of the portable shooting stabilizationassist clamp. This embodiment allows the rests to pivot in the horizontal plane.
  • FIG. 6 is an exploded view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 7 shows another alternative embodiment of the portable shooting stabilizationassist clamp. This embodiment allows the rests to pivot and has the rests capable of moving to different planes relative to one another.
  • FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7.
  • a portable shooting stabilization clamp comprising a clamping end (110) used to secure the clamp (100) to a fixed surface, and a rest end (120) having preferably v-shaped extensions designed to receive and cradle a firearm fore-stock, forend, frame, stock, or barrelwhen in use.
  • the hunter would find a railing or other appropriate stable object, squeeze the rest end to open the jaws of the portable shooting stabilization assist clamp and release them over the stabilizing object to secure the clamp (100).
  • the hunter can easily remove the gun from the clamp by simply lifting the gun upward. None aside from the gun's mass holds it in the rest (120), so the gun may be lifted off the rest of clamp (100) without hesitation if a opportunity 5presents itself in a different location and time does not allow for the re-positioning of the clamp (100).
  • the clamp (200) comprises a first member (205) and a second member (210). Each member includes a jaw end (215), a rest end (220) and a pivot aperture (225). When assembled, the first member (205) and the second member (210) are aligned and joined at a center fulcrum or pivot point (230) with a nut (235)
  • a spring (245) is preferably secured between the pivot points (230) of the first and second members (205, 210). Although a coil spring (245) is shown in Figure 2, other kinds of springs or spring equivalent, may be used. However, springs are preferred for their 0ease of use, quiet operation and simplicity.
  • the rest ends of the first and second members serve as handles of the portable shooting stabilization assist clamp (200). The user opens the jaws (250) of the clamp (200) by squeezing the rest ends (220) toward each other, thereby overcoming the resistance of the spring (245).
  • Each rest end (220) has a rest extension (255) that serves to cradle the firearm fore- 5 stock, forend, frame, stock, or barrel .
  • the rest extensions may also be U-shaped or have a flat horizontal rest with two vertical members to cradle a firearm fore-stock, forend, frame, stock, or barrel within the rest extensions.
  • the V-shape of the rest extension allows the hunter some freedom to swing the aim of the gun within a limited left-right arc while still
  • Figure 3 provides a view of the preferred embodiment of the portable shooting stabilization assist clamp (300) as it would appear when fully assembled.
  • Serrations or teeth (310) on the jaws (320) of the clamp (300) serve to increase the gripping ability of the jaws (320) on uneven surfaces and prevent movement when the clamp is in place.
  • Other gripping methods may also be used instead of serrations.
  • rubberized coatings, rubberized tips or other slip resistant materials may be applied to or secured on the jaws to enhance the gripping ability of the jaws (320).Furthermore, pivoting surfaces can also be used to grip on uneven surfaces.
  • a rubber tip is provided to cover the end of each jaw.
  • the rubber tip may either be a solid piece of rubber or rubber- like material that is integral to the jaw or a a removable piece or cover.
  • the serrations are preferred.
  • the stabilization assist clamp (400) provides a rest extension (410) from the first member (420) but not from the second member (430) as in the embodiment previously described in Figures 1-3.
  • the second member (430) includes arest end (440) that forms a short handle (450) rather than a rest extension.
  • This single rest extension version allows a user increased range of motion from left to right because of a single contact point with the firearm fore-stock, forend, frame, stock, or barrel.
  • the portable shooting stabilization assist clamp (500) further includes rotating rest extensions that are able to pivot when in use.
  • the clamp comprises a first member (510) and second member (520). Each member includes a jaw end (530), rest end (540) and a rest extension portion (550) that is detachably secured to the rest end(540).
  • the rest end (600) of this embodiment extends into a short handle (605) as shown in the embodiment disclosed in Figure 4.
  • the rest extension portion (610) includes a flat base end (615) having an aperture (620) and a V or U shaped rest extension projections (625) extending away from the base end (615).
  • Therest extension portion (610) is detachably secured to a flat end of the handle (615) of the rest end by aligning an aperture (620) formed in the flat end of the handle with the aperture (630) formed in the flat base of the rest extension portion (610). This embodiment allows the rest extension portion (610) to swivel while the jaw portion (635) of the member remains in a fixed position.
  • each rest extension portion By allowing each rest extension portion to rotate and pivot, a greater range of movement from left to right is allowed while still providing the stability of two contact points on the firearm fore-stock, forend, frame, stock, or barrel.
  • the rotating rests are preferably secured with nuts (640) and bolts (645) as shown in Figure 6, similar securing methods that allow 5the rests to rotate, may also be used.
  • the rest extensions (700) of the portable shooting stabilization assist clamp (710) are able to rotate, pivot and also move into a different plane of function.
  • this embodiment discloses members having detachably secured rest
  • each member of this embodiment is assembled by aligning the aperture (800) formed within the base of the rest extension portion (810) with the slide channel (820) formed withing the handle portion (830) of the rest end (840) of the member and securing them together with a nut (850), bolt (860), washer (870), and spring (880) as shown in 0 Figure 8.
  • This alignment within the slide channel (820) allows the rest extension portion to rotate and slide into different planes of operation as permitted by the slide channel (820).
  • a shooter has the option to use one or two rest extensions. It enables the use of single rest, by placing one of the rests into a different plane of operation from that of the other rest. It also allows use of the clamp on a vertical pole, 5tree or similar object.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une bride portable d'assistance à la stabilisation destinée à être attachée et détachée rapidement, facilement, d'une seule main, sur un rail de tir ou objet solide similaire. Une fois fixée à un objet, la bride supporte un fût, une têtière, une carcasse, une plaquette ou un canon d'arme à feu, offrant à l'utilisateur un objectif de tir plus stable pour un positionnement plus précis du tir. La bride peut être facilement attachée et détachée du fait de sa conception sous forme de bride à ressort. Dans son mode de réalisation préféré, la bride constitue un support présentant deux griffes généralement en V au-dessus du pivot de la bride à ressort, qui contribuent à la facilité de mise en place et de maintien du pistolet sur la bride. D'autres modes de réalisation concernent de multiples supports, ainsi que des supports pivotants mobiles. La bride représente une aide pour les tireurs et les chasseurs, mais peut également être utilisée pour stabiliser une caméra, un télescope, une petite caméra vidéo, ou autre dispositif qui est amélioré par la stabilisation.
