Abstract
A weapon rest for supporting a weapon. The weapon rest has an improved lock or jaw clamp for locking a vertical column support in a predetermined position.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to weapon rests and, more particularly, to weapon rests having at least one support and improved means and apparatus for locking the at least one support in a predetermined position.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A weapon rest is a device which facilitates the use of a weapon, such as a hand gun, rifle, crossbow and the like. The weapon rest typically provides a stable surface for supporting the weapon during target practice, marksmanship competition, hunting, cleaning of the weapon and the like.
- Various types of weapon rests have been used in the past and provided different means for supporting the weapon. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,600,913 illustrates a pistol rest that provided a two-piece adjustable molded plastic rest that had a fork member to be retained within a base member and the fork member and base member had means for raising and lowering the rest portion of the device.
- Several prior art rifle rests had an adjustable support that raised and lowered in a generally cylindrical column. A threaded screw was threaded through the column and its end would engage the support to hold it in place. One problem with this design of the past is that an end of the screw engaged the support column with point contact force that was not distributed. Sometimes the end of the screw would puncture the wall of the support column if it was screwed too tight. Also, the point contact of the end of the screw against the support did not always provide the necessary locking force to prevent vertical movement of the support column, especially during cleaning of a rifle or during shooting.
- What is needed, therefore, is an improved system for locking the weapon support in a predetermined position in the weapon rest.
- It is, therefore, an object to provide an improved weapon rest.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a weapon rest that has an improved locking of the weapon support.
- Another object is to provide a weapon rest in the form of a gun rest that utilizes a jaw clamp for locking at least one support in a predetermined position;
- Still another object is a weapon rest that provides an elongated jaw clamp that distributes a locking force across an adjustable support, including but not limited to, an adjustable support having a plurality of threads of an adjustable support.
- In one aspect, one embodiment comprises a weapon rest for supporting a weapon, comprising a base, at least one support slidably mounted on the base, the at least one support having a weapon rest for supporting a weapon above the base and a jaw clamp for engaging the at least one support and for locking it into a predetermined position.
- In another aspect, another embodiment comprises a weapon support comprising a base having an internal wall for defining an aperture, a weapon support slidably received in the aperture and a lock for locking the weapon support in the aperture after the weapon support has been situated in a predetermined position.
- These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings and the appended claims.

In the illustration being described, the integrally moldedfirst support 14 comprises an outer wall 14 b having or defining a first generally curved area 14b 1 for receiving the generallycylindrical member 28, a generally flat area 14b 2 and a second generally curved area 14 b 3 for receiving the generallycylindrical member 30 that cooperate to define a support for receiving the bottom portion 56 (FIG. 13 ). In this regard, note that the storage container orcompartment 52 is molded from a polymer or plastic and thebottom portion 56 comprises a generally complementary pre-molded bottom. Ascrew 51 is received in a threaded aperture 51 a and used to secure thebottom portion 56 to thefirst support 14. Advantageously, the molded storage container orcompartment 52 provides a storage area for receiving and storing gun and crossbow accessories, such as safety glasses, ear protection, weights, range tools and the like. - The
first support 14 comprises an integrally-molded column orsupport 58 having an integrally moldedcolumn 60 comprising anexternal wall 62 and aninternal wall 64. In the illustration being described, the integrally moldedcolumn 60 further comprises an inner wall 66 having an inner wall surface 66 a that defines a receivingarea 68 for receiving at least oneadjustable support 78. In the illustration being described, the at least oneadjustable support 78 comprises a molded first half 72 and a molded second half 74 that are secured together by conventional means such as ascrew 76. - In the illustration being described, the at least one
adjustable support 78 has a generallyU-shaped end 78 a (FIG. 1 ) that, like the generallyU-shaped support 20 has an in-molded or inserted rubber orpolymer support 80 as shown. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 3-5 , note that theinternal wall 64 of the integrally-molded column orsupport 58 comprises a plurality of integrally molded flat areas 64 a, 64 b, 64 c and 64 d. A plurality ofribs flat areas 64 a-64 d, respectively, and are also integrally molded with theexternal wall 62. Theflat areas 64 a-64 d are adapted to define engaging surfaces 64 a 1, 64b 1, 64 c 1 and 64d 1 that provide an engaging area, platen or brace against which the at least oneadjustable support 78 may be driven as explained later herein. Note that the ribs 82-88 support the engaging surfaces 64 a 1, 64b 1, 64 c 1 and 64 d 1 a predetermined distance D3 (FIG. 4 ) from the integrally moldedexternal wall 62. - The
internal wall 62 further comprises a notched-out or U-shaped wall 64 e that is integrally molded with theexternal wall 64 and that defines a generally U-shaped receiving area orlongitudinal channel 90. - In the illustration being described, the notched-out area or
longitudinal channel 90 is adapted to receive ajaw clamp 92 for engaging the at least oneadjustable support 78 and for locking the at least oneadjustable support 78 into a predetermined position selected by the user after the at least oneadjustable support 78 has been adjusted or moved to a desired position. In one embodiment, thejaw clamp 92 is made of a polymer material, but it could be made from other suitable materials, such as other polymer or synthetic materials, metallic materials, such as steel or aluminum, carbon or composite materials, for example. - The at least one
adjustable support 78 comprises thethreads 91 that receive a mating, threadedhand nut 94 that, when rotated, causes the at least oneadjustable support 78 and itspolymer support 80 to be raised or lowered to a desired position. In this regard, theexternal wall 62 has anend 62 a that comprises an internal wall 96 that defines a generally U-shapedcircular channel 98, as best illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 5 . Thehand nut 94 comprises a mating flange or lip 100 (FIG. 3 ) that is received in the generally U-shapedcircular channel 98 to facilitate retaining thehand nut 94 and so that its axis is generally coaxial with the axis defined by thecolumn 60. Thehand nut 94 comprises an internal U-shaped wall 94 a (FIG. 3 ) that defines a U-shaped channel that receives the raised portion or wall 102 (FIG. 5 ) ofcolumn 60. A bottom 94 a 1 of the wall 94 a ofhand nut 94 rides on and is supported by a top surface 102 a (FIG. 5 ) of the surface 102 a ofwall 102. - Returning to
FIGS. 3-13 , the lock orjaw clamp 92 engages the at least oneadjustable support 78 and locks it into a predetermined position in thefirst support 14. In the illustration being described, thejaw clamp 92 is received in the generally U-shaped orlongitudinal channel 90 which comprises a channel width W (FIG. 4 ) that is slightly larger than a width W2 (FIG. 9 ) of thejaw clamp 92. As best illustrated in the views inFIGS. 6 , 7 and 10, thejaw clamp 92 is slightly U or V-shaped in profile. Thejaw clamp 92 has a longitudinal dimension that is substantially larger than its width W2 so that when thejaw clamp 92 is received in the generally U-shaped receiving area orlongitudinal channel 90 its longitudinal axis is generally parallel to the axis of the at least oneadjustable support 78. Thelongitudinal channel 90 also restricts or prevents thejaw clamp 92 from undesired movement. As best illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 3 , that thejaw clamp 92 is adapted to traverse a plurality of thethreads 91. The integrally-molded column orsupport 58 comprises a reinforced molded area portion 112 (FIG. 2 ) that is substantially thicker than theexternal wall 62 and that comprises a threadedaperture 114 for receiving athumbscrew 116 as best illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 3 . Thejaw clamp 92 comprises anaperture 114 that defines a notched-out area 114 a for receiving anend 116 a (FIGS. 5 , 6, and 8) of thethumbscrew 116. - After the user adjusts a vertical height V1 (
FIG. 1 ) and position of theU-shaped end 78 a, the user tightens thethumbscrew 116 which forces theend 116 a of thethumbscrew 116 into engagement with thejaw clamp 92 in the notched-out area 114 a. This, in turn, causes an engaging surface 117 (FIG. 6 ) of thejaw clamp 92 to engage a plurality of thethreads 91. As thejaw clamp 92 drives theengaging surface 117 into engagement with the plurality ofthreads 91, it forces the at least oneadjustable support 78 leftward (as viewed inFIG. 4 ) until the portions of thethreads 91 that are opposite the portions of thethreads 91 being engaged engage the surfaces 64 a 1, 64b 1, 64 c 1 and 64d 1 as illustrated inFIG. 4 , thereby locking the at least oneadjustable support 78 in a locked and fastened position in theweapon rest 10. While the embodiment is shown engaging the plurality ofthreads 91, the at least one adjustable support could be provided without threads, such as in a smooth continuous column (not shown). In that case, thejaw clamp 92 engages the column directly. - The
jaw clamp 92 may comprise notchedinternal walls jaw clamp 92 could be solid. - Note that the plurality of
ribs adjustable support 78 and are otherwise positioned to strengthen and support theinternal wall 64 when it is engaged by thethreads 91 of the at least oneadjustable support 78. - The
column 60 may have an integral key 121 (FIG. 4 ) that is received in the keyway 123 (FIG. 13 ) that prevents the at least oneadjustable support 78 from undesired rotational movement. - Advantageously, the
weapon rest 10 provides an improved support for supporting weapons above a surface. The lock orjaw clamp 92 also provides improved means for providing an improved engaging area for traversing a plurality ofthreads 91, which improves the locking of the at least oneadjustable support 78 in the predetermined position so that it does not move after thethumbscrew 116 has been tightened by the user. - Although not shown, it should be understood that the
second support 16 could also have an adjustable support similar to the at least oneadjustable support 78 if desired. - While the system, apparatus and method herein described constitute preferred embodiments of this invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to this precise system, apparatus and method, and that changes may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the appended claims.
