Briefly stated, the invention comprises a scope rest invention for supporting a gun on a wearer or operator by a socket member which is attached to the belt of the wearer, said socket member being of a size to receive and support the eye piece end of the scope of the gun, and thereby support the gun on the belt of the wearer, a strap surrounds the neck of the operator and the strap has a clamp at one end to detachably engage the barrel of the gun to align the gun in a generally upright parallel relation to the body of the operator, while the gun is supported by the scope in the socket.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, in FIG. 1, the scope rest invention is illustrated as having a scope rest socket and belt attachment member 21 which is attached to the belt 22 of the wearer or operator 23. A gun 24 has a scope 25 mounted thereon, and the eye piece end 25' of the cope is detachably received in the socket member 27 of the scope rest member 21. A leather strap 28 of the scope rest invention 20 has a loop at one end 28' which surrounds the neck 31 of the wearer operator 23. A metal clip 32 is mounted to the other end of the strap 28 and the clip or clamp 32 detachably engages the barrel 33 of the gun 24.
The scope rest socket member 21 has a leather panel 34 with a pair of slots 35 and 35' which receive the belt 22 of the operator 23, with the belt 22 being attached about the waist 23 of the wearer or operator as illustrated in FIG. 1. A T-shaped leather panel member 35 forms a socket 27 for the socket member 21 having a center portion 36, with a base leg 37 folded under from the center portion and extending horizontally and perpendicularly toward the panel 34 and with the outer end 37' of the base leg folded downward and parallel to and abutting the panel 34. A rivet 38 holds the outer end 37' flush and in abutting relation to the panel 34.
The T-shaped leather panel member 35 has side leg portions 39 and 40 with their inner portion 39 and 40' folded perpendicularly and upright toward the panel 34 and with their outer ends 39" and 40" folded to perpendicular and vertically outward and away from one another and extending parallel to the panel 34 and riveted to the panel 34 by rivets 41 and 42.
The center portion 35 and side portions 39 and 40' form three of the four sides of the socket, with the area 43 forming the fourth side. The center portion 35, side portions 39' and 40' are extended parallel to panel 34 and with one another and extend generally vertically upward when socket member 21 is attached to the belt 22.
The eye piece end 25 of the scope 25 is freely and detachably received in the socket 27 of the socket member 21 formed by the sides 36, 39', 40, and 43, with the horizontal base leg portion or bottom 37 of the socket member 21 supporting the bottom end 25" of the scope 25.
The strap 28 has its one end 28' looped about the neck 31 of the wearer with a buckle 44 attached to the outermost arch 28" of the strap. The strap 28 has a plurality of holes 45 at spaced intervals along the intermediate portions 46, the strap 28 for the rod member 46' of the buckle to project through to adjust the buckle 44 to different positions along the strap to adjust the size of the loop about the neck of the wearer. A lateral loop strap 47 is fixed to the strap 28 at the buckle and loops and freely about the intermediate portions 46 of the strap to keep the buckle in operative alignment.
The other end 30 of the strap 28 has a relatively small loop formed therein by the remote end 30' being reversely folded. A pair of rivets 48 and 49 secure the outermost end 30 of the strap to an adjacent portion 30 of the strap.
The clip 32 is made of spring steel and is rotatably mounted to the strap 28 of the small loop by a pin 50 which passes through a bore in the clip and through a bore in the strap 28 in the small loop portion. The pin 50 has enlarged heads at each end which are larger than the bores to retain the clip and strap together, while the clip 32 may rotate on the pin 50 relative to the strap 28. The legs 51 and 52 of the clip 32 have rounded cylindrical portions 51 and 52' which act to surround the barrel of the gun, with the legs being spring urged against the barrel to retain the clip 32 on the barrel. The outermost ends 51" and 52" of the legs are bent outward to facilitate the attachment of the clip to the barrel of the gun.
Operation The scope rest invention operates as follows:
The scope rest member 21 will be attached to the belt 23 of the operator by inserting the belt 22 through the slots 35 and 35 of the panel 34 and thereafter the belt will be attached on the belt loops on the trousers of the wearer about the waist 23 of the operator.
When the wearer or operator wishes to rest the gun 24 so that his hands will be free, he will insert the eye piece end 25' of the scope 25 of the gun into the socket 27 of the socket rest member 21, and the scope will rest upon the bottom 37 of the socket member 21. The strap 28 is attached to the neck of the wearer as illustrated in FIG. 1. The operator will attach the clip 32 of the strap to the barrel 33 by slipping the clip over the barrel 33 with the resilient legs 51 and 52 grasping the barrel and holding the clip on the barrel, and with the strap thereby holding the gun 24 in a vertical or near vertical position as illustrated in FIG. 1.
The upright vertical walls 36, 39, 40' and 43 of the socket 27 tend to extend vertically and will also act to urge the scope and thereby urge the gun into a vertical upright position.
When the operator wishes to free the gun 24, he will simply grasp the gun 24 by the stock near the clip 32 with one hand and with the other hand pull the clip 32 off the barrel 33. The force of the pulling movement will cause the legs 51 and 52 of the clip to expand and slip off the barrel. He will then lift the gun 24 upward and place the gun in firing position and fire.
As an alternative method of removing the clip 32 from the barrel, the operator may also pivot the gun slightly forward in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from FIG. 1, causing the strap and loop portion to become taunt against the neck of the operator and the pivot action of the gun forward away from the operator will pull the clip ofi the barrel.
The gun scope rest member 21 may receive the scope of the gun and support the gun by the bottom 25" of the scope resting in the socket 27, without attaching the clip member 32 and scope and gun will simply be suspended in the socket. The upright walls 36, 39, 40, and 43 will tend to urge the gun 24 in a vertical position. The operator may engage the bottom of the butt of the gun with his leg to further help the gun in a vertical position or rear vertical so that the operator will also have his hand free when not using the clip.
The wall members 36, 39, 40', each being parallel to the panel 34 and the panel portion 43, and the panel 34 being generally vertical when attached to the belt of the wearer and the wearer is standing vertical, will tend to urge and maintain the scope and thereby the gun 24 in a vertical or near vertical position when the scope is resting in the socket member, while the clip 32 when attached to the barrel of the gun further acts to keep the gun in a vertical position or substantially vertical position as illustrated in FIG. 1.
The leather socket member 21 being of relatively soft leather will not damage or impair the scope when it rests in the socket member. However, the socket member may be made of other materials such as plastic or rubber, if sufficiently soft, or it may be made of rigid material, if suitably lined with soft lining material.
Also, as an alternate form of the invention a pair of wire rods 53 and 54 may be provided which have their lower ends fixed to the panel 34, and have hooks 53 and 54' at their upper ends which hook over top edge of the belt 22 of the wearer to attach the panel 34 to the belt in lieu of the slots 35 and 35.
Thus it will be seen that a novel gun rest invention has been provided which enables the gun to be supported by the scope in a vertical or near vertical position, so that the operator may walk or move about freely without having to hold the gun, and with his hands free without having to set the gun down each time.
Also the gun is supported in the scope rest socket member to a height, as illustrated in FIG. 1, so that the butt of the gun will extend down near the knees of the operator. As a result the scope rest support device supports the gun at a suitable height so that the upper end of the barrel will not stick up above the head of the wearer or operator. It will not stick up as high, as if for example, the operator were carrying the gun in an arm sling, and consequently, the upper end of the barrel of the gun is not as likely to catch branches when the operator is walking through a wooded area with the gun in the scope rest position.
The center of gravity of the gun when the gun scope is resting in the scope socket is such as will tend to pivot the gun counterclockwise when viewed from FIG. 1.
Also, the gun scope rest invention enables quick firing as the operator need only detach the clip and raise the gun into firing position, which can be done easily, rapidly, and conviently.
It will be obvious that various changes and departures may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit thereof, and accordingly, the invention is not limited to that specifically described in the specification or as illustrated in the drawing, but only as set forth in the appended claims wherein:
