-
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary firearm sling attachment device, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The sling attachment device includes a quick-detach receiver 100 and acord 200. The quick-detach receiver 100, which is described in further detail below, may be formed as a unitary member to enhance structural integrity. For example, the receiver may be milled from a single aluminum piece into the shape shown in the figures. Thecord 200 may be an open-ended piece and tied in a closed-loop fashion similar to that shown inFIG. 1 , or it may be originally formed as a closed loop. For example, thecord 200 may be a hollow Spectra® cord that is spliced to form a closed loop. - The
cord 200 may be lastingly or detachably affixed to the quick-detach receiver. For example, thecord 200 may be lastingly affixed to the quick-detach receiver 100 during manufacture by splicing the cord to form a closed loop through an opening of the quick-detach receiver. When lastingly affixed in this way, the only way to separate the quick-detach receiver 100 and thecord 200 may be to cut and damage either component. Alternatively, thecord 200 may be detachably affixed to the quick-detach receiver 100 by tying the cord through an opening of the quick-detach receiver using a knot, such as the cow-hitch knot 201 shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 2 shows how the firearm sling attachment device ofFIG. 1 may be detachably affixed to a firearm handguard, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In particular,FIG. 2 shows the quick-detachreceiver 100 tied to thefirearm handguard 300 by tying a second knot in thecord 200. In this case, the second knot is another cow-hitch knot. Of course, what is shown in the figures is only an example, and other ways of securing the quick-detachreceiver 100 to the firearm using thecord 200 are contemplated. Furthermore, those of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that the firearm sling attachment device may be secured to other locations of the firearm, not just the handguard, by applying the principles and teachings disclosed herein. -
FIG. 3 shows how the firearm handguard ofFIG. 2 may be detachably affixed to a sling using the firearm sling attachment device, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In particular,FIG. 3 shows that an open-facedcavity 102 formed at one end of the quick-detachreceiver 100 is configured to receive a quick-detachswivel 400, which includes a loop for accommodating asling strap 401. Though not shown inFIG. 3 (but shown in later figures), the quick-detachreceiver 100 includes one or more recesses in the side wall of the open-facedcavity 102, which are designed to accommodate theretractable features 402—in this case, ball bearings—located on a stud of the quick-detachswivel 400. By reversibly engaging theretractable features 402 with the one or more recesses, the quick-detachswivel 400 may be easily attached to or detached from the quick-detachreceiver 100. -
FIGS. 4A and 4B provide upper and lower perspective views of an exemplary quick-detach receiver, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 4C provides a frontal view of the quick-detach receiver, andFIG. 4D provides a cross-sectional view taken along line I-I′ ofFIG. 4C , according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 4E provides a profile view of the quick-detach receiver, andFIG. 4F provides a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II′ ofFIG. 4E , according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. - Referring to
FIGS. 4A through 4F , the quick-detachreceiver 100 includes a body that is elongated longitudinally along a Y-axis. That is, the body of the quick-detachreceiver 100 has opposite ends positioned along the Y-axis. The body as shown has a cylindrical shape but other elongated shapes may be used. - The quick-detach
receiver 100 includes an open-faced,cylindrical cavity 102 formed in a bottom end of its body. The open-faced,cylindrical cavity 102 extends longitudinally along the Y-axis and is open at a bottom base of the body such that a quick-detach swivel stud may be inserted. As mentioned earlier, the side wall of thecavity 102 includes one or more recesses with which the retractable ball bearings of a quick-detach swivel stud can reversibly engage. In the case shown inFIGS. 4A through 4F , thecavity 102 includes fourrecesses 103 arranged circumferentially in its side wall, and the recesses are equally spaced around a perimeter of the cavity. By forming the four recesses as shown, the degree of which the inserted quick-detach swivel may swivel is limited. A diameter D of thecavity 102 may be substantially 9.55 mm so that it can securely accommodate quick-detach swivels that are already commercially available. - The quick-detach
receiver 100 also includes anopening 101 formed laterally through a top end of its body along a Z-axis, which is perpendicular to the Y-axis. It is through this opening that thecord 200 may be affixed to the quick-detach receiver. Theopening 101 may have an oblong shape elongated along an X-axis, which is perpendicular to both the Y-axis and the Z-axis. The edges of theopening 101 may be beveled so that when thecord 200 is tied to the quick-detachreceiver 100, thecord 200 does not get worn down or cut by sharp edges of theopening 101. - The top portion of the body of the quick-detach
receiver 100 where theopening 101 is formed may be thinner than the rest of the body, such as shown inFIG. 4E , and the top end of the body may be rounded, such as shown inFIG. 4C . Also, the top portion of the body of the quick-detachreceiver 100 where theopening 101 is formed may be symmetrically positioned with respect to a central axis of the body, in the case shown inFIG. 4C , the Y-axis. -
FIGS. 5A through 5F illustrate a quick-detach receiver according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure and provide views similar to those ofFIGS. 4A through 4F . The quick-detach receiver ofFIGS. 5A through 5F , however, differs from that ofFIGS. 4A through 4F in that a single,continuous recess 503 is formed on a side wall of thecavity 102 instead of the fourrecess 103. Because thesingle recess 503 is continuously formed around the perimeter of thecavity 102, a quick-detach swivel inserted into thecavity 102 is allowed to swivel 360° without restriction, unlike the case in which four recesses are formed to be spaced from each other. - The various features of the representative examples and the dependent claims may be combined in ways that are not specifically and explicitly enumerated in order to provide additional embodiments of the present teachings. The dimensions and the shapes of the components shown in the figures are designed to help understand how the present teachings are practiced and do not limit the dimensions and the shapes shown in the examples.
