FIREARM DI SPLAY STAND Filed July 17, 1964 FIG. 3 2
WmmMQMMM.m:z 1 OR HG. 2 RAY WARD TAYLOR United States Patent 3,345,027 FIREARM DISPLAY TAND Ray Ward Taylor, 3856 N. Glebe Road, Arlington, Va. 22207 Filed July 17, 1964, Ser. No. 383,317 2 Claims. (Cl. 248-137) This invention relates to a stand or pedestal device whereby a pistol or other firearm may be securely mounted in such a way that the firearm may be conveniently kept and displayed, On table tops, shelves, and similar flat surfaces, consisting of a wooden pedestal base, a blued-steel securing device mounted in the wooden base and adjustable vertically and laterally, a locking bolt and nut, and a screwdriver-type tool for adjustment of the device.
A principal object of the invention is to provide a means for firearms collectors and users to display firearms conveniently, without the necessity of well-aflixed racks, special storage cabinets, and the like.
A further object of the invention is to provide a mount for firearms that will hold them securely and yet not interfere with working mechanisms, thus permitting said working mechanisms to be demonstrated if desired without removal of the firearm from the stand.
Firearms collectors and users frequently wish to display favorite pieces or new acquisitions in such a way that all their particular features may readily be observed. The conventional rack or cabinet does not lend itself well to such an object, inasmuch as firearms thus displayed must usually be hung against a vertical surface or laid upon a horizontal surface, so that certain of their features are obscured. By use of this invention, however, the piece is prominently displayed so that it may be viewed from many angles. Moreover, ordinary table tops, shelves, and other fiat surfaces may be used as resting places for the stand, obviating the necessity for specially made racks, cabinets, etc.
The present invention may be manufactured by simple and standard manufacturing processes, from wood of a type and quality similar to that used for gunstocks and from steel treated by a standard bluing process, so that it will be harmonious in appearance with the firearm displayed.
Further understanding of the possible manufacturing procedures will be gained, and other objects and advantages of the present invention will readily be apparent, from the accompanying drawings and descriptions.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is an overall front View of the entire device as it will appear when used as a display stand for a pistol.
FIGURE 2 is a side view of the securing mechanism of the device showing its internal operating features, and the means for affixing it to the base, together with the tool for use in installing the firearm in the stand and looking it in place.
FIGURE 3 is a front view of the device showing its general external appearance, its manner of fitting into the base, and the method for storing the tool in the base of the stand for ready availability.
The securing device 1 is fitted by means of its jaws 2 around the sides of the trigger-guard of the firearm. Rubber or felt strips 3 line the jaws and protect the triggerguard from damage.
The movable metal bar 4 at the upper end of which is one of the jaws 3 is held in place by the slotted nut 5 acting in conjunction with the fixed bolt 6, this beil tightened by the tool 10.
Vertical adjustment of the vertical bar 4 is made po sible by the slot 7, such adjustability being desirable that differential positioning of the jaws 2 will permit til ing of the firearm to front or rear so as to vary the viewii angle depending upon the height with respect to the View of the surface upon which the stand is placed.
The securing device 1 is held firmly in its Wooden ba 8 by its threaded extension 9. The tool 10 having a scre driver blade portion 13 is stored when not in use in t] threaded recess provided in the base of the threaded e tension 9.
A circular recess 11 in the base 8 is sufiiciently lar. to permit removal and replacement of the tool 10 with tl users fingers.
A felt pad 12 is affixed to the bottom of the base protect from damage surfaces upon which it rests.
It should be understood that the invention here involvr is not limited to the structural details or arrangement l parts here shown since devices embodying the present i vention may take other forms. In the event that maximu simplicity and ease of manufacture rather than appea ance is a particular object, a device embodying the prese invention may be made of flat metal stock, locked position by an ordinary through-bolt and nut, and secun to its base by an ordinary screw or bolt or similar mea: of attachment.
It should particularly be understood that the prese. invention may be made applicable to long firearms sut as rifles and shotguns, by the employment of an elongate base and a forward rest for the barrels of such long fir arms.
What is claimed is:
1. A firearm display stand comprising a base, a ja attached to said base and positioned for extending uprig from said base, a second jaw slideably positioned on a1 alongside said first jaw, but spaced therefrom, a bolt fi edly attached to and extending laterally of said first ja a slotted head nut rotatably mounted through said secor jaw and in threaded engagement with said bolt, and sa jaws having opposing recesses capable of receiving tl finger guard of a firearm therebetween.
2. A firearm display stand as claimed in claim 1,'wher in said first jaw has a flat face with its recess therein a free end of said jaw and said bolt extending from sa flat face and a stepped bottom face extending lateral from said flat face at an end of said jaw opposite to sa free end and said second jaw has a flat face with its rece therein at a free end of said jaw, an opposite bottom er seated on one step of said first jaw bottom face and 2 opening with said nut rotatably positioned therein at extending from said second jaw flat face.
