DESCRIPTION


FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an exemplary small arms weapon 10 connected to an illustrative embodiment of a proximal accessory 12 that includes a forearm supported stabilizing device 14. Although the small arms weapon of FIG. 1 includes a pistol 16 and a chassis 18, other small arm weapons 10 may be substituted in their places and connected to the proximal accessory.


In the disclosed embodiment, the pistol 12 and the chassis 14 may be combined to form a firearm apparatus 20. The proximal accessory 12 may be secured to the firearm apparatus 15. The distal end 22 of the proximal accessory 12 may be integral to the small arms weapon or may be connected thereto. The proximal accessory 12 may further include a forearm supported stabilizing device 14. The forearm supported stabilizing device 14 may be adapted to engage with the forearm of an operator of the small arms weapon 10 to aid in positioning (see e.g., FIG. 13) or stabilizing (see e.g., FIG. 14) the small arms weapon during use (see e.g., FIG. 15). Referring to FIG. 2, the forearm supported stabilizing device 14 may be spaced from the distal end 22 of the proximal accessory by a stein 24. The stem may further include a housing 26 that includes a chamber 28 (see e.g., FIG. 12) which receives a starboard side support member 30 and a port side support member 32.


Referring to FIG. 12, the housing may include a front wall 34 and a rear wall 36. The chamber may be situated between the front wall and the rear wall. The front wall 34 may include a front borehole 38, and the rear wall 36 may include a rear borehole 40. The front borehole may be aligned with the rear borehole. The rear wall 36 may include a recess 42 around the rear borehole. Further, the housing 26 may define an opening 44 to the chamber between the rear wall and the front wall. The support members 30, 32 may be interposed in the chamber 28 and connected by a primary hinge pin 46 that is disposed in the front borehole and the rear borehole. Each of the support members 30, 32 may include a base 48, 50. Each base 48, 50 may include an inner surface 52, 54 and an anchor 56, 58. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the forearm supported stabilizing device 14 may include a webbing (or strap) 60. One end of the webbing 60 may be secured to or around the port side anchor 58 and the opposite end of the webbing 60 may be secured to or around the starboard side anchor 56. The webbing may have an effective length between the support members. Also, the webbing may include a mechanism (e.g., a buckle 62) which selectively allows for the effective length of the webbing to be increased or decreased.


Referring to FIG. 12, each support member 30, 32 may include a head 64, 66 that is spaced from the base 48, 50, as well as a frame 68, 70 that connects the head to the base. The head may include a leading element 72, 74. The leading element may include an interior ring structure 76, 78 and an exterior ring structure 80, 82. The interior ring structure and an exterior ring structure may include a bore 84, a side recess 90, and two flat faces 86, 88. The two flat faces may intersect to form a corner. In one example, the two flat faces may form an oblique angle. In another example, the two flat faces may form a right angle. Referring to FIG. 11, one face 88 may define a blocking surface that limits rotation of the base away from the base of the other support member. Referring to FIG. 10, the other face 86 may define another blocking surface that limits rotation of the base toward the base of the other support member.


Referring to FIG. 12, each interior ring structure and exterior ring structure may be received on the primary hinge pin 46. For example, the primary hinge pin 46 may be inserted in the front borehole 38, the respective bores 84 in the leading elements 72, 74 of the starboard side support member 30 and the port side support member 32, as well as in the rear borehole 40. The primary hinge pin may be secured on one side of the housing by a ring clip 92. The ring clip 92 may mate with a circumferential groove 94 in primary hinge pin. Similarly, the opposite end of the primary hinge pin may be secured on the other side of the housing by a retaining ring 96. The retaining ring may interlock with a circumferential groove 98 on the primary hinge pin 46.


Referring to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, the side recesses 90 on the leading element 72 of the starboard support member may face the side recesses 90 on the leading element 74 of the port side support member. A torsion spring 100 may be positioned on the primary hinge pin between the respective recesses 90 of the starboard side and port side support members. The torsion spring(s) 100 may be configured and dimensioned to bias the bases 48, 50 of the respective support members toward each other (see e.g., FIG. 5). Moreover, the torsion spring (s) may bias blocking surface(s) 86 of the respective leading elements against the housing to stop inward rotation of each base (see e.g., FIGS. 9 and 10). Such an orientation of the support arm stabilizing device 14 may be identified as a ready configuration.


Referring to FIG. 11, work against the torsion springs) 100 may be required to move the bases 48, 50 of each respective support member away from each other (see also, FIG. 14). Each support member 30, 32 may move independently away from the other support member until the other blocking face 88 of each respective support member contacts the opposite side of the housing. For example, without limitation, each support member 30, 32 may be free to rotate against a spring bias through approximately 80 degrees of travel. Thus, the leading elements 72, 74 of each respective support arm 30, 32 may interleave one with the other, and further may pivot relative to the other as the support arms rotate individually between a generally closed position (see e.g., FIGS. 5, 10, and 15) and an open position (see e.g., FIGS. 11, 14 and 15).


Referring to FIGS. 5, 12, 13 and 14, the base 48, 50 of each support member 30, 32 may include an inner surface 52, 54. The inner surface 52, 54 may be smooth and rounded to facilitate passage of an operator's forearm between the support members during use. Also, each support member 30, 32 may include a passage 110, 112 extending from the inner surface 52, 54 to an exterior surface 114, 116 of the support member. A strut or anchor 56, 58 may be disposed between side walls of the passage 110, 112. The anchor 56, 58 may divide the passage into an upper passage and a lower passage.


As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, one end of the webbing or strap 70 may be wrapped around the anchor 58 and sewn or otherwise secured (e.g., with Velcro, rivets or a buckle) back on to itself so as to provide a secure connection between the webbing 60 and the anchor 58. In a similar manner, the opposite end of the webbing 60 or strap may be wrapped around the other anchor 56 so as to provide a secure connection between the webbing and the other anchor 56. In the exemplary embodiment, a secure connection at one end of the webbing is a sewn connection 118; whereas, a secure connection at the other portion is a buckled connection 120. The buckled connection 120 may be manipulated to lengthen or shorten the effective length of the webbing or strap that is secured to the respective anchors. Also, the opening in the base may include space for the webbing (or strap) and buckle to be recessed from the exterior portion of each respective base to facilitate a streamlined exterior and prevent snagging of the webbing or strap 60 on the external environment.


Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the webbing (or strap) 60 and buckle 62 may rest firmly on the forearm 122 of an operator that is properly grasping the weapon 12. Further, the support members 30, 32 may be free to rotate to accommodate the dimensions of the forearm. Generally, the webbing (or strap) 60 may extend between the support members 30, 32 and may further provide a self-adjusting or automatically regulated surface for securely resting the support members on an operator's forearm. Further, the ability of each support 30, 32 member to pivot independently to a fixed position may provide lateral purchase against the forearm in a firing position in which the firearm assembly is generally not in alignment with the forearm. Hence, proximal accessory 12 is configured and dimensioned to stabilize the small arms weapon 10 or firearm apparatus 20 against an operator's forearm 122. This may be useful in situations in which the small arms weapon or firearm assembly is operated with a single hand.


Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the small arms weapon 10 and proximal accessory 12 may include a coupling mechanism 124 (see also, FIG. 18) for securing the proximal accessory 12 to the small arms weapon 10. The small arms weapon 10 and proximal accessory 12 further may include a latching mechanism 126 see also, FIG. 17) which may lock the proximal accessory 12 to the chassis 14 in a deployed configuration 128 (see e.g., FIG. 15) or selectively unlock the proximal accessory 12 from the chassis to allow the proximal accessory to be positioned in a folded configuration 130 (see e.g., FIG. 16). In other embodiments, however, the proximal accessory 12 can be fixed to the chassis in a deployed configuration or may be connected directly to the weapon.


Referring to FIG. 18, the proximal end 132 of the chassis 18 may include an exterior latch housing 134. The exterior latch housing may include a catch 136 and opposing fastener receiving bores 138. The distal end 140 of the proximal accessory 12 may include an interior latch housing 142 and the coupling element 144. The interior latch housing 142 may include a spring guide 146 and a set of fastener pin receiving holes 148. A compression spring 150 may be seated around the spring guide 146 and further may press against the latch 152. The latch 152 may include a button 154 and an elongated aperture 156 extending from one side to another side of the latch. The latch may further include a hook 158. The hook may include a first blocking face 160, a second blocking face 162 next to the first blocking face, and a third blocking face 164 spaced from the first and second blocking faces, respectively. A retaining pin 166 may be positioned in the retaining pin receiving holes 148 of the interior latch housing and through the elongated aperture 156 to retain the latch 152 and compression spring 150. Thus, the interior latch housing, compression spring, latch and retaining pin may be part of a latch assembly 168.


The latch assembly 168 may be inserted into the exterior latch housing 134. A coupling mechanism 124 may be used to secure the latch assembly 168 to the exterior latch housing 134. For example, a secondary hinge pin 170 and mating fastener 172 may be positioned in the opposing fastener receiving holes 138, as well as the fastener receiving hole 174 in the coupling element 144 to secure the proximal accessory 12 to the small arms weapon 10. Accordingly, the latch assembly 168 and the catch 136 may be part of a spring loaded latching mechanism 126.


In use, an operator may grasp the pistol grip of a firearm assembly with a dominant hand and then load the weapon by pulling the charging handle reward with the other hand. At the same time the support members may be forced downward on to the forearm of the user. The inner surfaces of the support members may slide around the forearm, spreading the lower portions of the support members and applying tension to the strap. The tensioned strap may conform to the forearm and apply pressure against the forearm, and thereby stabilizing the position of the firearm assembly in horizontal and vertical directions. As the pressure from the firearm assembly is reduced or withdrawn the spring bias in the hinge and the rounded inner surfaces of the support members allow the arm support to move generally unencumbered away from the forearm. Similarly, the arm support may automatically regulate and stabilize the firearm assembly from recoil. The strap length may be adjusted at the buckle achieve a secure fit between the arm support and the user's forearm.
