United States Patent HAND HOLD FOR GUNS Thomas E. Davies, Morgantown, W. Va. Application August 26, 1955, Serial No. 530,666
2 Claims. (CI. 42-71) This invention relates to hand hold attachments for firearms, and more particularly to an improved hand hold attachment for a firearm of the type having a longitudinally movable, sleeve-like cartridge ejector operating handle.
A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved hand hold device for a firearm, said device being simple in construction, being easy to install on a firearm, and being readily adjustable to suit the requirements of the user.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved hand hold attachment for a rifle 0r shotgun of the type having a sleeve-like cartridge ejector operating handle, said hand hold attachment being inexpensive to manufacture, being durable in construction, being easy to mount on the cartridge ejector operating handle, and being readily adjustable in position to suit the requirements of the user of the firearm.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved hand hold attachment for a firearm, said attachment being suitable for use by either right-handed or left-handed persons, being readily adjustable to an optimum position either longitudinally or around the longitudinal axis of the firearm, providing a support for the firearm when said firearm is fired from a prone position, and providing a means for absorbing a portion of the recoil of the firearm when the firearm is discharged.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims, and the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspectively view, showing the manner in which an improved hand hold attachment is employed to support the forward portion of a firearm when the firearm is used, and indicating a manner in which the attachment is employed to operate the cartridge ejector means of the firearm.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary side elevational view showing the manner in which the improved hand hold device of the present invention is employed to support the forward portion of the firearm when the firearm is used in the prone position.
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the manner in which the improved hand hold device of the present invention is employed as a shoulder support, whereby the firearm may be supported on the users shoulder when not in use.
Figure 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken on line 44 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is .a cross sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the elements of the improved hand hold attachment in separated positions.
Referring to the drawings, the improved hand hold attachment is designated generally at 11. Said attachment comprises a pair of opposing arcuate clamp segments 12 and 13, the clamp segment 12 being substantially longer than the clamp segment 13 in circumferential extent, as
2,826,848 Patented Mar. 18, 1958 is clearly shown in Figures 4 and 6. The clamp segments 12 and 13 are shaped to fit on the sleeve-like operating member 15 of a conventional firearm 16, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5, the segments 12 and 13 being provided on their side surfaces with an inwardly directed arcuate rib 16 and 17 which are shaped to engage in a selected one of the spaced annular grooves 18 provided on the conventional operating member 15, as shown in Figure 5.
The arcuate clamp element 12 is formed with a shank 19 which is directed along an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of the arcuate clamp element 12, the shank 19 having the tapered upper portion 20 and the threaded cylindrical lower portion 21, as shown in Figure 6. The upper portion 20 is recessed at 22 and is shaped to receive a tapered shank element 23 formed on one end of the arcuate clamp element 13, the shank element 23 being shaped to substantially fit within the recess 22 and to mate with the upper portion 20 of the shank 19 in the manner shown in Figure 4.
The tapered portion 20 of shank element 19 is provided adjacent its lower end with a pin element 25 projecting therefrom and rigidly secured thereto, said pin element 25 engaging in an aperture 26 provided in the lower portion of the shank element 23 of the arcuate clamp segment 13 to pivotally connect shank element 23 to the upper portion 20 of the shank element 19.
A coil spring 28 has its ends seated in opposing recesses 29 and 30' provided in the upper portions of the elements 20 and 23, biasing the clamp segments 12 and 13 apart.
As will be readily understood, the ribs 16 and 17 are located in the same transverse plane so that they will align with and enter a selected groove 18 of the operating member 15 of the firearm on which the attachment is employed.
Designated at 30 is a metal sleeve member having an upwardly flaring bore portion 31 in which the tapered shank elements 20 and 23 are receivable, and having an internally threaded intermediate portion 32 in which the cylindrical threaded lower portion 21 of shank 19 is receivable and threadably engageable. Sleeve member 30 is provided wih the molded external hand grip element 33 which is secured on the sleeve member 30 and which is contoured so that it may be securely and readily gripped by the operators hand. The member 33 is preferably made of rubber or other suitable moldable friction material, preferably a deformable resilient material having characteristics similar to that of rubber.
As will be readily apparent, the angular position of the attachment may be readily adjusted by first unthreading the sleeve 30 sufiiciently to loosen the clamping force exerted on the operating member 15 by the clamp elements 12 and 13, then rotating the member 33 to the desired angular position, and then tightening the sleeve 30 by rotating same to retract the tapered elements 20 and 23 into the flaring bore portion 31, whereby the clamp elements 12 and 13 are forced into tight frictional engagement with the operating member 15.
Figure 1 shows the device arranged for use by a righthanded person. In order to be employed by a lefthanded person, the device may be merely reversed so that it is adjustable in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed in Figure 4, instead of a clockwise direction, as shown in said figure.
As shown in Figure 1, and using the device, the operator holds the firearm with one hand in a normal manner with the stock thereof against the shoulder and grasps the hand grip portion 33 with the other hand. Thus, a portion of the recoil developed when the firearm is discharged can be absorbed at the hand hold attachment 11 3 by the arm of the user employed with the hand hold attachment. Also, the cartridge ejector operating handle may be actuated by means of the hand hold attachment, as is illustrated in dotted view in Figure 1.
Figure 2 illustrates the hand hold attachment 11 employed as a supplementary support for the firearm when it is used in the prone position. As is readily apparent from Figure 2, the forward portion of the firearm is supported on the end of the grip cover 33, enabling the firearm to be accurately aimed and furnishing a dependable and steady support for the forward portion of the firearm.
Figure 3 illustrates the attachment employed as a shoulder support employed for carrying the firearm when the firearm is not in use. As will be readily apparent from Figure 3, the firearm may be suspended from one of the users shoulders by engaging the grip portion of the attachment over the users shoulder, as illustrated, leaving the users hands free for other purposes.
While a specific embodiment of an improved hand hold attachment for a firearm has been disclosed in the foregoing discription, it will be understood that various modifications within the spirit of the invention may occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore it is intended that no limitations be placed on the invention except as defined by the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A hand hold attachment for a firearm of the type having a sleeve-like operating member formed with spaced annular grooves comprising a pair of opposing arcuate clamp elements engageable on said operating member, respective inwardly directed arcuate rib elements on said clamp elements engageable in said annular grooves, a threaded shank on the end of one of said clamp elements, means pivotally connecting the other clamp element to said shank, and a handle threadedly engaged axially on said shank and wedgingly engaging said other clamp element to urge said other clamp element toward said one of the clamp elements.
2. A hand hold attachment for a firearm of the type having a sleeve-like operating member formed with spaced annular grooves comprising a pair of opposing arcuate clamp elements engageable on said operating member, respective inwardly directed arcuate rib elements on said clamp elements engageable in said annular grooves, a threaded shank on the end of one of said clamp elements, a shank element on the end of the other clamp element, means pivotally connecting the last-named shank element to said threaded shank, and a handle threadedly engaged axially on said threaded shank and being formed with an upwardly flaring top bore portion receiving the upper portion of said threaded shank and the shank element of said other clamp element, said shank upper portion and said shank element having downwardly converging outer surfaces wedgingly engageable in said top bore portion to urge said other clamp element toward said one of the clamp elements, the arcuate portion of one of the clamp elements being substantially shorter in circumferential extent than the arcuate portion of the other clamp element.
