US12339094 - Attaching a grip attachment or other attachment in a recoil environment at threadless region(s)

In various embodiments, an apparatus to operate in a recoil environment includes an attachment configured to slidable couple to a firearm, the attachment including a threadless region to couple to one or more corresponding threadless regions of at least one part: wherein the attachment includes: a slidable attachment interface to restrict a coupling movement of the attachment relative to the at least one part, to a fore/aft movement; and an additional interface associated with a plunger or other retaining part, the additional interface to restrict a fore/aft position of the attachment relative to the at least one part. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

The patent describes a grip attachment for firearms that features a threadless region allowing for slidable coupling to a grip, enabling restricted fore/aft movement. Additionally, it incorporates a spring-biased interface to maintain the attachment’s position relative to the grip while allowing movement along a non-parallel axis.

Claim 1

  1. A grip attachment having a threadless region to couple to one or more corresponding threadless regions of at least a portion of a grip, the threadless region of the grip attachment comprising: a slidable attachment interface to restrict a coupling movement of the grip attachment relative to the at least the portion of the grip to a fore/aft movement, wherein the coupling movement is along a plane; and an additional interface associated with a spring-biased part, the additional interface to restrict a fore/aft position of the grip attachment relative to the at least the portion of the grip; the additional interface configured to constrain the spring-biased part to movement along an axis of movement, wherein the axis of movement is not parallel with the plane. a slidable attachment interface to restrict a coupling movement of the grip attachment relative to the at least the portion of the grip to a fore/aft movement, wherein the coupling movement is along a plane; and an additional interface associated with a spring-biased part, the additional interface to restrict a fore/aft position of the grip attachment relative to the at least the portion of the grip; the additional interface configured to constrain the spring-biased part to movement along an axis of movement, wherein the axis of movement is not parallel with the plane.
