Description
- This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/147,758 filed on Jan. 13, 2021, entitled “MOUNT FOR A FIREARM,” which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/063,412 filed on Aug. 9, 2020, entitled “Universal Fire Control, Rechargeable, Global Positioning and Alert Communication, Mount Adapter Utilizing Push System with Offset Springs, Mid-Receiver Carbine, and Ambi-Magazine Release,” which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all that is taught and disclosed therein.
- The present invention relates to firearms, and more particularly to a mount for a firearm that enables the mount to be easily attached to and detached from a firearm.
- Many designs exist for mounting accessories to universal weapon accessory rails such as the NATO STANAG 4694 accessory rail. Methods of attachment include screws, levers, and knobs. One example of a prior art of such a design is the mount adapter device utilizing a push system disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,276,307 to Deros, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all that is taught and disclosed therein. The design of the '307 patent applies a spring-loaded force as part of the clamping mechanism to aid in holding the accessory on the rail. The key elements of the design are a main body, a lock bar, a connecting push rod, and a spring received around the push rod. The spring applies a biasing force along the longitudinal axis of the push rod against a knob attached to one end of the push rod that pulls the lock bar towards the main body, thereby creating a clamping force between the lock bar and the main body around the rail.
- The '307 patent has the disadvantage of requiring a knob that protrudes substantially from the main body to provide space for the compressed spring received around the push rod. This requirement makes the mount adapter device more likely to snag undesirably on items in the environment.
- Therefore, a need exists for a new and improved mount for a firearm that has knobs with limited protrusion from the main body to prevent undesirable snagging on items in the environment. In this regard, the various embodiments of the present invention substantially fulfill at least some of these needs. In this respect, the mount for a firearm according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of preventing undesirable snagging on items in the environment.
- The present invention provides an improved mount for a firearm, and overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide an improved mount for a firearm that has all the advantages of the prior art mentioned above.
- To attain this, the preferred embodiment of the present invention essentially comprises a body having a first clamp configured to engage a first edge of the rail, a jaw movably connected to the body and having a second clamp opposed to the first clamp and operable with the respective clamps to engage respective opposed lateral edges of the rail, a spring biasing the jaw toward the body, and at least a portion of the spring being between the clamps. There may be a pushrod connected to a first one of the body and the jaw and slidably received by the other of the body and the jaw. The spring may be laterally positioned to one side of the pushrod. The spring may be a coil spring having a spring axis offset from a pushrod axis defined by the pushrod. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims attached.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.

More particularly, the mount for a firearm is shown inFIG. 4 in the process of being attached to the mountingrail 86, inFIG. 5 attached to the mounting rail with therear knob 112 in the unlocked position, and inFIG. 6 attached to the mounting rail with the rear knob in the locked position. InFIG. 4 , a user'sfinger 154 has pushed the rear knob inward to compress therear spring 124 and push therear jaw 56 away from the body. In this position, sufficient space exists between thefirst clamp 26 and the rearsecond clamp 80 such that the opposed lateral edges 28, 30 of the mounting rail can be inserted between the first clamp and the rear second clamp. Once the opposed lateral edges of the mounting rail are inserted between the first clamp and the rear second clamp, the user releases the rear knob, and the rear spring pushes the rear knob away from the body to bring the rear second clamp into contact with the opposedlateral edge 30 to clamp the mounting rail between the first clamp and the rear second clamp. This condition is depicted inFIG. 5 . The rear knob remains in the unlocked position inFIG. 5 . The rear knob is subsequently tightened against thebody 12 to place the rear knob in the locked condition in which the rear knob can no longer be pushed inward within thepushrod aperture 40 to dislodge the rear second clamp from the opposed lateral edge of the mounting rail. It should be appreciated that thefront knob 96 andfront jaw 54 function in exactly the same manner as the rear knob and rear jaw, and the above procedure is reversed to detach the mount for a firearm from the mounting rail. - The front and
rear springs front spring axis 150 is offset from thefront pushrod axis 146, and therear spring axis 152 is offset from therear pushrod axis 148. Thefront knob 86, which is threadedly engaged to thefront pushrod 88 so as to be rotatable about the front pushrod, is operable to bias thefirst clamp 26 and the frontsecond clamp 66 together to secure the mount for a firearm to the mounting rail when the front knob is tightened against thebody 12. Therear knob 112, which is threadedly engaged to therear pushrod 104 so as to be rotatable about the front pushrod, is operable to bias thefirst clamp 26 and the rearsecond clamp 80 together to secure the mount for a firearm to the mounting rail when the rear knob is tightened against the body. The front spring is located away from the front knob, does not contact the front knob, and the front knob directly contacts the body without the front spring intervening. Theintermediate portion 130 of the front spring extends across amedial plane 156 defined by the first clamp and the front and rear second clamps when the clamps closely receive the mounting rail. The rear spring is located away from the rear knob, does not contact the rear knob, and the rear knob directly contacts the body without the rear spring intervening. Theintermediate portion 136 of the rear spring extends across the medial plane defined by the first clamp and the front and rear second clamps when the clamps closely receive the mounting rail. - The mounting
rail 86 is a conventional mounting rail of the type disclosed inFIGS. 2 and 3 of the '307 patent discussed previously. The mounting rail includes a plurality of mounting projections extending perpendicular along a longitudinal axis of the rail and separated by a plurality of transverse grooves spaced along the longitudinal axis of the rail, each of the mounting projections including an upper mounting surface and opposite transverse edges defining first and second inclined proximal surfaces on opposite sides of the upper mounting surface, a first inclined distal surface adjacent to said first inclined proximal surface, and a second inclined distal surface adjacent to said second inclined proximal surface. Thebody 12 can be viewed as a base including a first base member (theright side 22 of the body) and a second base member (front andrear jaws 54, 56), the first base member being linearly slidable into engagement with the second base member in a first direction, and the second base member being linearly slidable into engagement with the first base member in a second direction which is opposite the first direction. The first base member including a first clamping member (first clamp 26) assist for engaging a first edge of the mounting rail, and the second base member including a second clamping member (front and rearsecond clamps 66, 80) assist for engaging a second edge of the mounting rail which is opposite the first edge. The front andrear pushrods rear springs 122, 124) operably engages each pushrod. The resilient member provides a spring force and is arranged to force the first clamping member to move in the first direction into locking engagement with the first edge of the mounting rail while simultaneously forcing the second clamping member to move in the second direction into locking engagement with the second edge of the mounting rail. At least a portion of the resilient member is positioned laterally between the first and second edges of the rail when the mount for afirearm 10, which is a mount adapter device for releasably attaching an accessory to a rail attached to a structure, is connected to the mounting rail. - It should be appreciated that the front guide pins 102 and
front pushrod 88 are sized and spaced apart from each other such that they can be received in adjacent transverse grooves in the mounting rail and receive adjacent mounting projections between them. The rear guide pins 118 andrear pushrod 104 are sized and spaced apart from each other such that they can be received in adjacent transverse grooves in the mounting rail and receive adjacent mounting projections between them. - In the context of the specification, the terms “rear” and “rearward,” and “front” and “forward,” have the following definitions: “rear” or “rearward” means in the direction away from the muzzle of the firearm while “front” or “forward” means it is in the direction towards the muzzle of the firearm.
- While a current embodiment of a mount for a firearm has been described in detail, it should be apparent that modifications and variations thereto are possible, all of which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
