DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an exemplary firearm apparatus 10. The firearm apparatus 10 may include a pistol 12, an ammunition magazine 14, and a firearm stabilizing accessory (or device) 16. As shown in FIG. 2, the firearm stabilizing accessory 16 may be connected to the pistol 12 at the heel of the pistol grip 18. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the firearm stabilizing accessory may be positioned under the pistol to provide the firearm apparatus 10 with a compact size. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 the envelope of the folded firearm stabilizing device 16 may be approximately 140 mm tall, 240 mm long, and 42 mm wide. When the firearm apparatus 10 is arranged as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the firearm apparatus is in a stored configuration 20. Referring to FIG. 4, the firearm apparatus 10 may be transformed from the stored configuration 20 which is illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 to a deployed configuration 22, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8. In the exemplary embodiment, the deployed firearm stabilizing device 16 may have a length of approximately 332 mm and a height of approximately 153 mm.
Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the firearm stabilizing accessory 16 may include a firearm interface 24, a distal joint 26, and a proximal joint 28. The firearm stabilizing accessory 16 may further include an arm 30 disposed between the distal joint 26 and the proximal joint 28. The proximal joint 28 may connect a boom 32 to the arm 30. The boom 32 may further include a brace 34. The boom 32 may include a handle 36, and the brace 34 may include a recoil pad 38. The handle 36 may further include a smooth curved surface 40 which may be positioned to serve as a check weld for a user when the firearm apparatus 10 is in the deployed configuration 22 (see e.g. FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8). As shown in FIG. 5, the front sight and rear sight of the pistol may define a longitudinal axis 41 for the firearm apparatus 10. Additionally, the distal joint 26 may oscillate about a vertical axis 43 which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Further, the proximal joint 28 may oscillate about a horizontal axis 45 which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and the vertical axis.
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the arm 30 may be curved and further may bend toward the longitudinal axis. Additionally, the boom 32 and handle 36 may be aligned with the longitudinal axis. In the embodiment, shown in FIG. 7 the distal joint 26 rotates clockwise from the deployed configuration 22 to the stored configuration (see e.g., FIG. 1). By contrast, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the distal joint 26 rotates clockwise from the deployed configuration 22 to the stored configuration 20 (not shown).
Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the firearm interface 24 may include a stem 42 which extends from a base 44 to a tip 46. The base 44 may include an inclined passage 68 which may extend from the lower surface 54 of the base 44 toward the tip 46. The cross-section of the side walls 70 perpendicular to the length of the inclined passage 68 may be rectangular. Additionally, the cross-section of the side walls 70 may taper along the length of the inclined passage. The inclined passage 68 may intersect a recess 72 located inside the base. The side walls 74 of the recess may define a counter sunk bore which extends from the distal side of the firearm interface to the proximal side of the firearm interface. The recess 72 may straddle adjacent portions of the base 44 and the tip 46. Moreover, the base 44 may include a cross-passage 76 which extends from the starboard side 78 of the base to the port side 80 of the base 44.
Referring to FIG. 10, a cylindrical bit 82 with an angled face 84 may be housed in the recess 72. The cylindrical bit may be tapered. The cylindrical bit 82 may include a cavity 86. The cavity 86 may be configured and dimensioned to receive the working end 88 of a lever 90 that is positioned within the inclined passage 68 to create an interference fit. The lever 90 may include a through bore 92 which may align with the cross-passage 76 in the base 44 of the firearm interface when the working end 88 of the lever is positioned within the cavity 86 of the cylindrical bit 82. A pin 94 may be inserted into the cross-passage 76 and through bore 92 to secure the lever 90 within the inclined passage 68. The pin 94 may serve as a fulcrum about which the lever 90 may oscillate. The lever 96 may extend out of the inclined passage 68 and may include a crosstab 98.
As shown in FIG. 9, the stem 42 may be configured and dimensioned to be received within a chamber 100 of the pistol grip 18. The stem 42 may mate with the chamber 100 to prevent relative movement between the firearm interface 24 and the pistol grip 18. Further, the stem 42 may form an interference fit with the chamber 100. The pistol grip 18 may include an aperture 102 that extends from the outer surface 104 of the pistol grip to the cavity 100. Additionally, the cylindrical bit 82 may protrude into the aperture to fix the firearm interface 24 to the pistol grip 18. The cylindrical bit 82 may be withdrawn from the aperture by moving the cross tab 98 rearward or toward the distal joint 26. The base may engage with or form a seat for a lower portion of the pistol grip to further enhance the stability of the connection between the firearm interface 24 and the pistol 12.
As shown in FIG. 15, the firearm interface 24 may include an eye end 48. The eye end 48 may be configured and dimensioned to cooperate with a fork end 106 of the arm 30 to form the distal joint 26. The distal joint 26 may rotate clockwise from the deployed configuration 22 to the stored configuration (see e.g., FIG. 1). The eye end 48 may include a stub 50 with an upper surface 52 and a lower surface 54. The upper and lower surfaces 52, 54 may be generally flat and smooth, as well as generally parallel to each other. The stub may include an eye 56 which may extend from the upper surface 52 to the lower surface 54.
Referring to FIG. 9, the eye 56 may include a rectangular slot 58 that extends from the upper surface 52 toward the interior of the stub 50, as well as a circular bore 60 that extends from the lower surface 54 toward the interior of the stub 50. The rectangular slot may include an end wall 62, and the circular bore may include an end wall 64. The end wall 62 of the rectangular slot and the end wall 64 of the circular bore may be connected by an intermediate passage 66. The intermediate passage 66 may be a circular bore of smaller diameter than the circular bore 60 in the lower surface 54.
Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 15, the fork end 106 of the distal joint 26 may include a superior tine 108 and an inferior tine 110. The superior tine 108 may include a superior slot 112 that extends from the top surface to the bottom surface of the superior tine. The superior slot 112 may be rectangular. The superior slot 112 may possess the same cross-sectional dimensions as the rectangular slot 58 in the eye end 48. The inferior tine 108 may include a circular bore 114. The distal joint 26 may further include a latch bolt 116, a latch bolt nut 118, and a coil spring 120. The latch bolt 116 and the latch bolt nut 118 may include mating screw threads 122, 230.
Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 11, the eye end 48 of the firearm interface 24 may be positioned between the superior tine 108 and the inferior tine 110 of the fork end 106. The latch bolt 116 may be inserted into the superior rectangular slot 112 and seated within the rectangular slot 58. The shank 142 of the latch bolt 116 may pass through the intermediate passage 66 into the circular bore 60 in the lower surface of the stub 50. The coil spring 120 may be placed in the intermediate passage 66 over the shank 142 of the latch bolt 116. The latch bolt nut 118 may be advanced onto screw threads 122 on the shank 142. As the latch bolt nut is advanced the coil spring compresses and pulls the latch bolt head 144 down against the end wall 62 of the rectangular slot 58. The latch bolt head 144, however, also may be disposed in the rectangular slot 112 of the superior tine. In this configuration, the latch bolt 116 blocks rotational movement between the eye end 48 and the fork end 106 to lock the distal joint 26. Hence, FIG. 11 shows the distal joint 26 in a locked configuration 146. By contrast, FIG. 12 shows the distal joint 26 in an unlocked configuration 148. Upward pressure against the latch bolt nut 118 compresses the coil spring 120 against the end wall 64 of the circular bore 60 and pushes the shank 142 and latch head 134 of the latch bolt 116 away from the end wall 62 of the rectangular slot 58. When the latch head 134 is raised above the rectangular slot 58, the latch bolt 116 allows rotational movement between the eye end 48 and the fork end 106 to unlock the distal joint 26.
Referring to FIG. 13, the root 124 of the fork end 106 may further include a pocket 126 (see also, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12) and a fastener receiving hole 128. The pocket 126 may be sized to receive a secondary latch 130. The secondary latch 130 may include an elongated member 132 having a wedge-shaped head 134. Generally, the secondary latch may be axe shaped. The elongated member 132 further may include a bore 136 opposite the wedge-shaped head 134 for housing a coil spring 138. The elongated member may further include a fastener receiving bore 138 which may be sized to receive a fastener 140. The elongated member 132 and coil spring 138 may be positioned within the root 124 and the fastener 140 may pass through the fastener receiving holes 128 in the fork end 106 and a through bore 150 in the elongated member 132 to fix the secondary latch 130 in the pocket 126.
Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the port side notch 150 and the starboard side notch 152 are configured and dimensioned to receive the wedge 156 of the elongated member 132 when the secondary latch 130 is rotated to a position opposite each respective notch. The secondary latch may hold the distal joint, but not lock the distal joint. Instead, referring to FIG. 13, the starboard side notch may automatically catch the secondary latch 130 and position the arm 30 to quickly facilitate alignment of the rectangular slot 58 with respect to the superior slot 112 so that the latch bolt 116 may seat in these slots 58, 112 and lock the distal joint 26. Referring to FIG. 14, the port side notch may hold the arm 30 in a folded configuration without locking the distal joint to allow for rapid deployment of the stabilizing accessory while maintaining a compact package. The secondary latch may further enhance stability of the accessory by squeezing the eye end 50 between the latch bolt 116 and the spring loaded elongated member 132.
FIG. 16 shows a right side close-up view of the proximal joint 28 in the deployed configuration (e.g., FIG. 6). Referring to FIG. 21, the proximal joint 28 may include a fork end 158, an eye end 160, a latch bolt 116, a latch bolt nut 118, and a coil spring 120. The fork end may include a starboard side tine 162, a port side tine 164, and a root 166. The root 166 may include a receptacle 168. The receptacle may be configured and dimensioned to receive a positioning latch 168. The positioning latch 168 may include latch bit 170 and a pair of coil springs 172. The coil springs 172 may be the same as each other. Also, the coil springs may be the same as the coil spring 138 of the distal joint secondary latch 130, but they may be different in other embodiments. The starboard side tine 162 may include a rectangular slot. The port side tine may include a circular bore 176. Additionally, the port side of the eye end 160 may include a counter bore 180 that is similar to that of the inferior tine 110 of the distal joint 26. Thus, the counter bore may include an end wall 182 and an interior bore 184 of smaller diameter. Referring to FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, the starboard side 186 of the eye end 160 may include a rectangular slot 188. The depth of the rectangular slot 188 in the proximal eye end 160 may be deeper than the rectangular slot in the distal eye end 48. The rectangular slot 188 may intersect the interior bore 184. The starboard side eye end 160 further may include a partially tapered slot 190. The partially tapered slot 190 may transect the rectangular slot 188 and the interior bore 184 at an angle. The angle may be an acute angle. For example, without limitation, the angle may be approximately 85 degrees. The partially tapered slot may be less deep than the rectangular slot 188. The partially tapered slot may include a beveled surface 192 on each side of the interior bore 184. Also, the side wall of the proximal eye end 160 may include a pair of notches 194, 196. The positioning notch 194 closer to the boom 32 may engage the latch bit 170 when the boom 32 is in the folded configuration (see e.g., FIG. 17). By contrast, the positioning notch 196 that is further from the boom 32 may engage the latch bit 170 when the boom 32 is in the unfolded configuration (see e.g., FIG. 16).
Referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, the proximal joint 28 may lock when the latch bolt 116 is seated in the rectangular slot 188 in the starboard side 186 of the proximal eye end 160 and the rectangular slot 174 in the starboard side tine 162. Accordingly, the latch bolt 116 when biased into the rectangular slot 188 may block rotation of the proximal joint 28. Hence, FIG. 19 may depict a partial sectional view of the proximal joint in a locked configuration 206. By contrast, the proximal joint 28 may be unlocked by moving the latch bolt head from the rectangular slot so as to allow rotation of the proximal joint 28 by depressing the lower surface of the latch bolt nut against the coil spring 120 to push the head of the latch bolt out of the rectangular slot.
By contrast, referring to FIG. 20, the partially tapered slot 190 may be less deep than the rectangular slot 188. The partially tapered slot may include a beveled surface 192 on each side of the interior bore 184. Thus, the head of the latch bolt 116 of the proximal joint 28 may be moveable from the tapered slot by applying a force sufficient to slide the angled faces of the latch bolt up the respective beveled surfaces 192 of the tapered slot 190. Accordingly, FIG. 20 may depict a partial sectional view of the proximal joint in a retention configuration 208.
Referring to FIG. 24, the brace 34 of the stabilizing device may be capable of receiving a recoil pad 38. The recoil pad may include a pair of fastener receiving holes 200. The recoil pad 38 may be secured to the brace 34 with a pair of threaded fasters 202 that pass through the fastener receiving holes and mate with one or more corresponding fastener attachment sites 204. Although the disclosed attachment sites 204 may be fastener receiving bores that include screw threads, any closure system or other type of fastener pair(s) may be used to attach the recoil pad to the buttstock provided a secure connection is achieved. Preferably, the closure system or other type of fastener pair may allow the recoil pad to be removably secured to the buttstock.
FIG. 25, FIG. 26 and FIG. 27 show features of an exemplary latch bolt nut 118. The latch bolt nut 118 may have a threaded portion 230 that is configured and dimensioned to mate with a mating screw thread 122 on the latch bolt 116. Referring to FIG. 25, the latch bolt nut 118 may include an upper surface 210 a lower surface 212 and a side surface 214 extending from the upper surface to the lower surface. The lower surface may include a screw drive 216. For example, the screw drive may be a drive slot. Although the disclosed latch bolt nut 118 has a slot drive, any suitable screw drive type may be used provided it allows the corresponding driver to turn the latch bolt nut 118 when positioned for assembly into the distal joint 26 or the proximal joint 28 (see e.g., FIG. 15 and FIG. 21). For instance, without limitation, the screw drive type may be a Phillips, Hex or Special screw drive type. Referring to FIGS. 26 and 27, the latch bolt nut 118 further may include a stepped bore 218. For example, the stepped bore 218 may extend from the upper surface 210 toward the lower surface 212. The stepped bore may include a stepped bore opening 220, a lower bore end wall 222 spaced from the stepped bore opening, and an upper bore end wall 224. The stepped bore further may include a lower bore side wall 226 and an upper bore side wall 228. The lower bore side wall may include a screw thread 230 which is configured and dimensioned to mate with a screw thread 122 on the latch bolt 116.
FIGS. 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32 show features of an exemplary latch bolt 116. The latch bolt shank 142 may include a threaded portion 122 near the tip 232 that is configured and dimensioned to mate with a screw thread 230 on the latch bolt nut 118. Referring to FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, the latch bolt head 144 may include an upper surface 234, a port side surface 236, a starboard side surface 238, an aft side surface 240, and a front side surface 242 (not shown). The head 144 further may include a port side angled face 244 and a starboard side angled face 246. Referring to FIG. 30, FIG. 31, and FIG. 32, the latch bolt head 144 further may include a bottom surface 248.
FIGS. 33, 34 and 35 show features of an exemplary secondary latch (or lateral latching arm) 130. The lateral latching arm 130 may include a wedge-shaped head 134, a fastener receiving bore 150, and a bore 136. The bore 136 may be configured and dimensioned to receive a coil spring.
FIGS. 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40 show features of an exemplary latch bit 170. The latch bit 170 may include a tip 250, a base 252, a superior facet 254, an inferior facet 256, a planar upper surface 258, and a planar lower surface 260. Also, the latch bit 170 may include a right side surface 270 and a left side surface 272. The base further may include two bores 262, 264. Each of the two bores may be configured and dimensioned to receive a coil spring 172. The bores may be aligned with a longitudinal axis of the latch bit. Additionally, tip 170 and the superior facet 254 and the inferior facet 256, respectively, may form a sloped surface. The lower sloped surface 266 of the inferior facet may be different than the upper sloped surface 268 of the superior facet.
Generally, the stabilizing accessory 16 may be formed from one or more materials for example, without limitation, metal, metal alloys, wood, plastic, polymer materials, reinforced polymer materials, thermoplastic materials, and combinations thereof.
In use, an exemplary firearm apparatus 10 may be retrieved by an operator in a stored (or folded) configuration 20. The operator (or user) may grasp the pistol grip 18 of the firearm apparatus 10 with a dominant-hand. The operator further may grasp the brace (or butt) 34 of the firearm apparatus with a non-dominant hand. The operator may pull the brace 34 rearward with their non-dominant hand to position the distal joint 26 in the deployed configuration 22. Further, the operator may pull the brace 34 rearward and upward with their non-dominant hand to position the proximal joint 28 in the deployed configuration 22. In the deployed configuration 22, the distal joint 26 and the proximal joint 28 may each reside in their respective locked configurations 146, 206. The operator further may pull the deployed firearm apparatus 10 toward the operator and press the brace 34 against the operator's upper body. The operator further may obtain a sight alignment for the pistol with the operator's cheek resting against the cheek weld 40. The operator may return the firearm apparatus to the stored configuration 20, in part, by pressing the latch bolt nut 118 of the proximal joint 28 to unlock the proximal joint and then rotating the brace (or butt) 34 to the retention configuration 208.
