Definitions
- a sling An accessory which is often added to a rifle or shotl0 gun after its purchase is a sling.
- the opposite ends of the sling are normally attached to the butt and barrel ends of the gun through a device known as a sling swivel.
- a swivel typically comprises a metal loop which receives the end of a sling, with this loop, either directly or through another part, adapted to be pivotally mounted on the gun for swinging about an axis that extends generally transversely of the guns longitudinal axis.
- a general object of the present invention is to provide a novel mounting for a sling swivel which avoids many of the problems encountered heretofore with conventional mountings.
- an object of the invention is to provide such a mounting which is particularly adapted for use with conventional sling swivels of the type including a hinge pin for mounting purposes.
- attachment of such a mounting on a gun barrel comprises a relatively simple task.
- the mounting includes only two parts, and is easily tightened against the outside of a barrel simply by adjusting the screw device to draw the end portions of the band together.
- Such an operation can obviously be performed without damage to a gun.
- the elongated exposed axial bore featured in the screw device readily receives the hinge pin in a sling swivel, and thus facilitates attachment of the swivel.
- the two parts in the proposed mounting are relatively simple in construction, and are relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
- a mounting may be made according to the invention to fit a gun barrel of any size, and to accommodate any one of a number of different particular styles of sling swivels which include mounting hinge pins.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the sling swivel mounting of FIG. I in a condition tightened against the barrel, and with one type of conventional sling swivel mounted on the mounting;
- the band may be clamped, or tightened against the outside of a barrel, such as barrel 12, by drawing its end portions together to relative positions such as those illustrated in FIG. 2.
- initial drawing together of the end portions in the band is accomplished by some suitable means such as a pair of pliers or a vise. More specifically, the end portions of the band may thus be drawn toward one another to positions just slightly more spaced apart from one another than illustrated in FIG. 2.
- Screw device 16 also referred to herein as a screw-adjustable device, may then be used, as will be more fully explained shortly, to complete the operation of drawing the end portions together and of securing the band to the barrel. 7
- screw device 16 which preferably is made of steel, comprises an elongated generally cylindrical body 16a having a threaded end 16b.
- the opposite end of body 16a joins with a cylindrical head 160 which has a slightly larger outside diameter than that of the body.
- the end face of head 160 contains a diametrical slot 16c. This slot accommodates the end of a screwdriver blade, or like tool.
- the threaded end of body 16a may be freely inserted through bore 18 in end portion 14b, with head 16c received within the outer end portion (18a) of bore 18, and seated against shoulder 18c. Threaded end 16b of body 16a may then be screwed into bore 20 in end portion 140 in the band. It will be apparent that this operation may be continued sufficiently to complete the tightening of the band on the barrel. It will be apparent also that such an operation involves little if any chance of damage to the barrel.
- a spring-biased swingable latch 28 in the swivel includes a shaft 28a and an arm 28b-with the latter being adapted releasably to catch the end of pin 26 which extends outwardly of end portion in band 14.
- the latch is shown in solid outline in a condition catching the end of the pin.
- Swivel 22 can readily be removed from mounting 10 simply by shifting latch 28 against the action of its biasing spring, and swinging it out of the way (about the axis, 280, of shaft 28a) to enable retraction of pin 26 from bore 16d. More specifically, the latch may be shifted against its biasing spring to a position such as that shown in dashed outline at 28A in FIG. 2, and swung to a position such as that illustrated in dash-dot outline at 28B in FIG. 3.
- pivoted loop 30 which may be attached to an end of a sling.
- loop 30 is pivoted on body 24 for swinging about an axis 32 which substantially parallels axes 31 28c.
- the particular dimensions of the various parts in the mounting may be modified to adapt the mounting to various applications.
- the proposed mounting is one which can be easily constructed to fit substantially all kinds of gun barrels.
- a gun barrel mounting for a sling swivel where the latter includes a hinge pin, said mounting comprising a unitary barrel band including an elongated continuous curved central portion adapted to be fitted about a gun barrel, and confronting spaced-apart end portions joined to the opposite ends of said central portion, which end portions may be drawn together to clamp the central portion releasably against the outside of such a barrel, and
- an elongated detachable screw device adapted to extend between and engage with said end portions for drawing the same together, said screw device including an elongated axially extending bore having at least one of its ends open, with the bore sized to receive freely and rotatably the hinge pin in a sling swivel.
- a gun barrel mounting for a sling swivel having a hinge pin said mounting in operative condition on a gun barrel comprising a unitary barrel band having an elongated continuous curved central portion extending at least partially circumferentially about said barrel, and a pair of confronting spaced-apart end portions joined to opposite ends of said central portion, said end portions including a pair of axially aligned bores, and an elongated adjustable screw device extending between and interconnecting said end portions, and received in said bores, said screw device holding said end portions together with said curved central portion of said barrel band clamped against the outside of said barrel,
- said screw device including an elongated axially extending bore at least one end of which is open, with such bore adapted freely and rotatably to receive said hinge pin.
- a gun barrel mounting for a sling swivel where the latter has a hinge pin said mounting comprising a releasable unitary clamp member adapted to be clamped to the outside of a gun barrel including a curved continuous central portion adapted to extend at least partially circumferentially about such a barrel, and spaced-apart end portions adapted to be drawn together to tighten the central portion against a barrel, and
- an elongated detachable tightening device adapted to extend between and interconnect said end portions, operable when interconnecting the end portions to draw them together, said tightening device including an elongated axially extending bore at least one end of which os open and is exposed with the device interconnecting said end portions, said bore being sized to receive freely and rotatably a hinge pin in a sling swivel.
- Apparatus for mounting a sling swivel on a gun barrel where the swivel includes a hinge pin for mounting purposes said apparatus comprising a unitary, continuous band adapted to be releasably
