As shown in Figure 1, a rifle harness 10 for a human being, said human being having opposite upper limbs a and b, comprises:
a belt 12, an elbow rest 14 having opposite ends 14a, 14b, one end of said elbow rest, such as 14a, for receiving an elbow of a human being from one of said upper limbs, such as a, and adjacent parts of said one upper limb adjacent to said elbow, and the other end of said elbow rest, such as 14b, adjoining the belt 12.
A strap 16 having opposite ends 16a, 16b, holds the belt 12, and thereby the elbow rest 14:
one of the ends of the strap 16, such as 16a, is moun-ted, for instance fixably or removably, to hold the belt 12, adjacent to one side of the elbow rest, such as 14ba, riveted, fixed or releasable and the other of said ends of the strap, such as 16b, is fixably or removably mounted to hold the belt 12, ad-jacent to a side opposite said one side of the elbow rest, such as 14bb, whereby the strap is for running from the one of the ends holding the belt, diagonally crossing up the back of the human being, running over the shoulder joining the other upper limb and diagonally crossing down the thorax, for finally holding the belt, at the adjacent to a side opposite the one side of the elbow rest.
Preferably, the elbow rest is adjustable, a convenient way is a telescopic elbow rest: For example as shown in Figure 6, with two tubular members such as 14x, 14y; one such as 14y, sliding over the other such as 14x. The tele-scopic elbow rest is also provided with a means for releasa-bly holding the tubular member to a given position, forinstance a screw 14z threadedly mounted on the tubular member 14x for frictionally engaging and holding the tubular member 14y, or as shown in Figure 6a, a spring (14s) loaded pin 14z' mounted on or in the tubular member, 14y' for in-stance, and engaging the other tubular member 14x' provided with slots, along one of the slots, as shown in figure 6a or vice versa; or as shown in Figure 7, with a tightening ring 114z having a tapering end and threadedly mounted over a tubular member 114x for squeezing a tubular member 114y. The elbow rest needs not be adjustable, and may simply be an arm ending into one end for receiving an elbow and the one end for receiving an elbow may even be integral with that arm.
The one of the elbow rest, for receiving an elbow may have various shapes, for instance but without being limited thereto, that one end may be polygonal with at least one of the sides removed as shown at 114a, Figure 2, oval shape partly cut out as shown at 214a, Figure 3, rectangular with one of the sides removed as shown at 314a, Figure 4, trian-gular with one of the sides removed as shown at 414, Figure 5, and preferably is C-shaped as shown at 14a, Figure 1.
Preferably, the belt is an adjustable belt, either with a belt buckle having a tongue 12b and a belt doweled such as 12c, with or without an adjustment slide, or a belt buckle having therein an adjustment slide or even a safety seat belt type.
Preferably, the strap 16 having opposite ends, is adjustable, for instance with an adjustment slide, for instance as shown at 16s, or with other adjustment devices including the adjustment devices discussed herein above for the belt.
Preferably, the strap 16, having opposite ends, in-cludes a weight distribution rider, for instance as shown at 20, slidably mounted onto the strap. The strap 16 and/or the weight distribution rider, may also be padded if desired.
In a preferred embodiment the weight distribution rider such as 20, has an anti-skid surface such as shown at 20, for better adherence of the strap with the cloth over the shoulder of human being wearing the harness.
The linking piece Preferably, the rifle harness includes a linking piece, for instance 30, the other end of the elbow rest, such as 14b, being mounted rotatably adjustable to the linking piece, for instance 30, that linking piece being mounted to the belt, such as 12.
218~202 The linking piece may be fixably mounted to the belt as shown at 330 Figure 7, and 30 Figure 1, or be slidably mounted as shown in Figure 7a at 330a, so that said other end of said elbow rest, is adjoining said belt via said linking piece.
In a preferred embodiment as shown in Figure 1, the linking piece defines an upper portion 3Oa and a lower portion 30b, the other end of the elbow rest, 14b, is rotatably mounted to the lower portion 30b of the linking piece so as to be rotatably adjustable with respect to the linking piece, the lower portion of the linking piece being fixably or preferably slidably mounted to the belt, and the ends of the strap 16 being mounted to the upper portion such as 30a of the linking piece. The linking piece may be fixably mounted to the belt, for instance with ri-vets or other fasteners.
Preferably,the other end of the elbow rest 14b, is mounted and adjoining the belt, as to be inclined, so that the elbow rest, gradually moves away from the linking piece, from the lower portion such as 30b to the upper portion of the linking piece such as 30a. In a particular embodiment, the elbow rest defines an angle of 45~ + 20~ with the link-ing piece.
Preferably, the ends of the strap such as 16a, 16b, are releasably mounted to the upper portion 3Oa of the linking piece 30. Thus the plate 30 is urged against the human being, by the pulling action of the belt 12 on the lower portion 30b, and of the strap 16 on the upper portion 30a.
In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the linking piece 30 is a curved, and yielding stiff plate: the curve fitting at least somewhat the shape of a human being, and yielding somewhat as to prevent body injuries. This linking plate may be plastic made but is not limited there-to.
The other end of the elbow rest As shown in Figure 1, the other end of the elbow rest such as 14b, is mounted and adjoining the belt via a swivel 40:
the other end of the elbow rest has a perforation 14c, the swivel 40 having a pair of retaining walls 40b, 40c spaced one from the other, and a shaft or pivot 4Oa bridging said pair of retaining walls, whereby the other end 14b of the elbow 14, is held between the retaining walls 40b, 40c, of the swivel and the shaft or pivot 40a is engaging the perforation of the other end of the elbow rest. This allows a human being to bend over, by displacing the one end of the elbow rest from an upward to a horizontal position, as shown in Figure 1:
For instance as shown in Figure 1, the rifle harness the pair of retaining walls 40b, 40c spaced one from the other wall, are fixedly held together as to define a C-shaped cross-section, and the elbow rest is spring loaded to move from a substantially upward to a substantially horizon-tal position as shown to allow a human being to bend over.
Although as shown in Figure 1, the pair of retaining walls spaced one from the other walls, are fixedly held together as to define a C-shaped cross-section, in another embodiment, the retaining walls 40a and 40b may be separated and the shaft or pivot 40a of the swivel, may have a free threaded end, for receiving a nut to move one of the retaining walls 40a and 40b to and fro said other of the retaining walls, and thereby to releasably hold the other end of the elbow rest between the retaining walls.
In a preferred embodiment, these retaining walls 40a, 40b have internal teeth lock.
In another embodiment, at least one of these retaining walls 40a, 40b has internal teeth lock, and said other end of said elbow rest between said retaining walls, has also internal teeth lock for engaging with the internal teeth lock of said at least one retaining wall.
As shown in Figure 8, in another embodiment, the elbow rest 514 has the other end 514b ball shaped, as to be rota-tably mounted and be rotatably adjustable. For instance, the other end 514b is mounted and adjoining the belt via a ball-and-socket joint. The socket for instance having a pair of jaws: a first hemispheric jaw 530a having a cut out top segment, defined within a linking piece 530 and a second hemispheric jaw 530b having a cut out top segment, slidably mounted about screws 530c and 530d releasably holding the pair of jaws 530a, 530b, so as to move to and fro each other and thereby said ball-shaped end 514b, to releasably hold the ball-shaped end 514b with the socket 514a and 514b. The screws 530c and 530d may for instance be threaded female portions provided for, in one of the linking piece 530, Such as shown in 530a or be of the nut-and-bolt type.
It should be borne in mind that the belt, the strap and the elbow rest need not be adjustable, as they may be made to measure for a given human being, or made for human beings 218S2~2 of a given size. If desired, though less preferred, the other end of the elbow rest may also be fixedly mounted.
While some of the preferred embodiments have been described herein above, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be construed as limited to these prefer-red embodiments, as many modifications and variations are possible within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
