U.S. Pat. No. 64,765 discloses another sliding support. It comprises a support leg, a rod called "rod G", consisting of two parts (marked "a" and "b") articulated in a hinge (at the point marked "x"). The sliding support has a folded position at which the bar lies below and tightly along the front log. In the unfolded positions, either the parts “a” and “b” can be hoPfä11da (which gives a low support) or be unfolded (which gives a high support); there are no intermediate positions.

There are also other collapsible push supports - ranging from one to three support legs with two as the most common - intended to be attached to the front deck. The bipods in US 5,852,892 and US 6,289,622 can be mentioned because they lack protruding parts in the collapsed position. Other firing aids differ, as far as we know, more from the invention.

H0 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION - WHAT IS ACHIEVED WITH THE INVENTION Lying on the snow, the hunter can with the help of the invention get good support for the rifle. Neither US 1,426,967 nor US 64,765 - although they both comprise an ingredient which has certain similarities to a carrier plate which characterizes the invention - are suitable for use on snow. The double-leg sliding supports in US 5,852,892 and US 6,289,622 are also not suitable for snow surfaces.

BO Good adjustability at horizontal sliding positions is achieved. Especially the sliding support in US 1 426 967, but also to some extent the sliding support in US 64 765, certainly has - like the invention - the advantages of being smooth and compact in the folded position and being easy to fold out with one hand. However, unlike the invention, they are very limited adjustable: the support leg can only be set out correctly from the front log. Other sliding supports, in addition to the invention, are easy to set in several height positions, although they are not suitable as support on snow-covered ground. no Existing attachment points on the rifle can be used; namely 145 150 155 160 165 170 175 180 185 f »2 5 4 9 3 - =: the brackets for the loading screw (102) and for the sling bar screw (103), pointed out in fig lb. The sliding support in US 1 426 967 comprises a cassette, housing the support of the support leg and a compression spring S ° m is folded into the front stock (101). For the other patents mentioned here: US 64,765, US 5,852,892, and US 6,289,622, the push support is an integral part of a modified front log (i.e. they are not mounted on the existing front log). There are other sliding supports that are attached to existing mounts, for example in the strap bracket (Harris Bipod and others not mentioned here) # but all we know are cumbersome to fold out, not suitable for snow-covered surfaces, and have protruding parts that make the rifle with folded support uncomfortable to carry on your back.

The sliding support can be folded out and height-adjusted quickly and quietly. a touch. Push supports with double support legs such as USg5 852 892 and US 6 289 622, on the other hand, require the legs to be folded out separately. The invention makes it possible to carry the rifle, with the firing support attached, comfortably on the back. Admittedly, the other four sliding supports mentioned here also have this property, but are, as stated, not suitable for snow-covered surfaces and are either cumbersome to fold out or not adjustable in several positions at horizontal sliding stands.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION - EMBODIMENTS [First Embodiment A first embodiment of the sliding support is shown in Fig. 2. The function of the exemplary form is explained with the aid of Fig. 3. The sliding support in its entirety is shown in Fig. 2b and some details are shown in Fig. 2a. The sliding support has two parallel ribs (1), a 'plate (2), a transverse bar (3), a number of grooves (51) on the underside of a plate (4). The two parallel ribs (1) together are called "support legs", the plate (2) is called "support plate", and the plate (4) is called "mounting plate" or sometimes "fastening means". The elongated hole (42) and the round hole (44) A torsion spring (6) presses the tip (61) of the transverse lock against the mounting plate (4): the cross bracket (3) is thus fixed, in one of the recesses (51), to the mounting plate. When the hunter with one hand moves the tip (61) out of the recess (51), the leg (1) can be rotated, around the shaft (14), up towards the mounting plate (4), where it can be anchored by means of a hasp (71) which hooks in a recess (7l *) in the mounting plate (4) This folded position is illustrated in Fig. 3. At the folded-out positions, øçlllo I 0 C 000000 190 195 200 205 210 215 220 225 230 235 EA non acc oc oo 0 oo ois / Ln) f / x): '00 0 00 o o ... .f: UU: IO. 'O n.: z: øzo o: z .ogg' °:. °. .OI-: .vo - 000. 0: 0 _5._ also the support plate (2) is rotated around, around the shaft (12), so that the hasp (71) can hook in recess (7l '*) in the support plate. Such a position is illustrated in Fig. 3c.

The function is as follows (see Fig. 3). When folded, the support leg (1), the support plate (2), and the transverse bar (3) lie together with the front of the rifle - like a long narrow box - according to Fig. 3a. The sliding support is adjustable in a number of extended positions. The support plate (2) then abuts against the ground (for example snow), and thus increases the contact surface of the support foot against the ground. The firing angle of the rifle can be changed in this position by turning the outboard rifle around the shaft (12). An example of a unfolded position is shown in Fig. 3b; the number of stop lugs (51) determines the number of extended positions. Fig. 3c also shows how the support plate (2) can be rotated around to a straight extension of the support leg (1). The firing angle is changed in this position by turning the outrigger rifle around the toe end of the support plate (2).

[Other embodiments] Another way of carrying out the invention is shown in Fig. 4. In contrast to the previous embodiment, the shaft (14) is displaceable along the mounting plate (4), while the shaft (34) is fixed. A rail (5) is fixed to the mounting plate (4); or the mounting plate is shaped like a rail, depending on how you look at it. By pressing the button (62), the tooth (61) is inserted into the block (41) in which the support leg is articulated. In this depressed position, the block (41) can be moved freely along the rail (5). When the button (62) is released, the tooth is automatically pushed out (by a spring inside the block) and can then be read into one of the recesses (51).

[Third embodiment A third form of the invention is illustrated in Fig. 5. The support leg (1) consists of two displaceable parts (1a, 1b) along one another, in a rail (5). The upper support leg part (1a) and the cross member (3) are both fixedly articulated in the mounting plate (4); they are hinged around the shafts (14) and (34).

The shaft (13), between the lower support leg part (1b) and the cross brace (3), can be moved along the rail (5). The sliding support is set as follows. An adjusting device (6) has a tooth (hidden in the figure) which normally locks in one of the recesses (51). The tooth is removed from the recess by pushing the control (62) against the support leg (1a, 1b). The control is then moved, in the depressed position, along the support leg, whereby the height of the push support changes.

In all three cases described above, the fastening member (4) can be exchanged for two connectable parts. For example, the connectable parts can consist of profiles (45, 45 *) slidable into each other as in Fig. 6a. The coupling means (45 *) typically has two holes (42) cont O I OOOIIO I.

The arrangement allows the sliding support to be removed from the weapon without the need to unscrew the box screw; the loading screw should not be tampered with, as the sight setting of the weapon will then easily change. It is also faster and easier to fasten the sliding support if a profile (45) can easily be slid onto a profile (45 *), instead of the sliding support having to be screwed on.

Another design of the support plate and of the mounting plate is shown in Fig. 6b. The toe end of the support plate has a recess (22). When folded, the block (41) fits into the recess (22), which means that the support plate is stable. The tips on each side of the recess also provide good grip against soil and hard ground, when the push support is used in the fully extended position (according to Fig. 3c). Another design detail is also shown: a pin (46) fits a corresponding hole in the block (21), for the purpose of stabilizing and locking the support plate in the folded position.

Further methods of making the support plate are exemplified by Fig. 7. The support plate (2) is held together with the block (21) by means of a screw (8). The support plate has a first position shown in Fig. 7b. In the first position, the pin (24) fits into the hole (24 *).

When the screw (8) is tightened, the block (21) is clamped to the support plate (2). When the screw is loosened, the pin (24) can be lifted out of the hole (24 *) and the support plate can be turned to a second position, shown in Fig. 7a. In the second position, the pin (24) acts as one foot of a tripod, where the other two feet (23) are located at each end of the support plate (2).

The recesses (51) can also be placed directly in the front log; in particular, the front log can be provided with recesses (51) already during manufacture.

The exemplary embodiment in Fig. 2 can then be changed: the row of recesses (5) is removed and the fastening means (4) comprises only the block (41).

That is, the block (41) is attached directly to the front stock and the end of the cross member will be able to attach to each of the recesses (51) in the front stock. Note in this connection that the arrangement consisting of the rail (5) with its recesses (51) and the adjusting device (6), in fi 4, can be exchanged for the row of recesses (5) and the adjusting device (6) in fig, and vice versa. It is thus practically possible even in embodiments where the shaft (14) is movable, as in Fig., That the pre-stock can have recesses or similar as the bearing support of the shaft - i.e. the block (41) in Fig. 4 - can fasten in. The fastening means then only needs comprise the bearing for the shaft (34) ~ that is, the blocks (43) in Fig. 4 - which are attached directly to the front log. 285 290 295 300 305 310 315 320 325 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION - GENERAL DESCRIPTION Above were examples of a number of concrete - but radically different - ways of carrying out the invention. This section summarizes these and other possible ways of carrying out the invention in a definition. Fig. 8 is mainly used for help. The black dots in the figure symbolize joints.

The invention - a firing support for rifles - comprises a support leg (1), a support plate (2), and a torsion bar (3). The support leg (1) is connected at its first end, with a hinge, to the front of the rifle (101). The support leg can be rotated in the articulation from a folded position, in which both ends of the support leg lie next to the front log, to extended positions in which the other end of the support leg is removed from the front log. The invention is characterized in particular in that the support leg (1) is at its other end, with a hinge, connected to a support plate (2). The invention is further characterized by a pivot lock (3) of one of the articulations, which makes the support leg adjustable at a fixed inclined angle to either the protrusion or the support plate, indicated in Figs. 8a and Fig. 8b, respectively.

Particular shapes of the pivot lock in Fig. 8a are illustrated in Figs. 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f. A cross bar (3) fixes the support leg (1) at an inclined angle to the front log (101). Corresponding special shapes for fi 8b, including a transverse bar, are not shown with figures. The support leg is, in general, placed in the extended positions by, with the release latch released, tilting the leg to a position where the latch can lock the leg in a fixed position again. Fig. 8c shows how this function is obtained in that one end of the transverse slat is movable along the front log; a more detailed and tangible example is given in Fig. 2. The function can also be obtained by moving the first end of the support leg along the front shaft, in accordance with the illustration in Fig. 8d or, more concretely, in Fig. 4. A third type of design is shown stylistically in Fig. 8e. , and a concrete example is given in Fig. 5. A fourth method is shown in Fig. 8f. Note that the dashed section on one of the sides of the triangle symbolizes that the length of that side is variable. The arrow - which is not part of the invention but intended to help understand the figure - symbolizes that the joint at the arrow is moved in the direction of the arrow.

The fastener (4) can be considered as part of the hinges that fasten in the front log. The place (5) has its equivalent in the dashed section. coon: 0 V 0000.
