Claim 1

1. An interface connection adapter arrangement for a bipod for a rifle, the interface connection adapter arrangement being associated with a main connection plane, wherein the interface connection adapter arrangement is arranged to be pivotally connected to two leg parts, a respective pivot point of both leg parts being arranged in said main connection plane, the leg parts when thus fastened both being arranged to pivot in relation to the interface connection adapter arrangement between a first orientation in which an axis of the leg part in question between said pivot point in question and a distal end of the leg part in question extends on a first side of said main connection plane, and a second orientation in which an axis of the leg part in question between said pivot point in question and a distal end of the leg part in question extends on a second, opposite, side of said main connection plane, wherein the interface connection adapter arrangement comprises: a first interface side, arranged on said first side of the main connection plane, provided with a first rifle fastener, the first rifle fastener being arranged to fasten the interface connection adapter arrangement to the rifle in accordance with a first rifle fastening system, and a second interface side, arranged on said second side of the main connection plane, provided with a second rifle fastener, the second rifle fastener being arranged to fasten the interface connection adapter arrangement to the rifle in accordance with a second rifle fastening system, and wherein the second rifle fastening system is associated with a different fastener geometry as compared to the first rifle connection system; and wherein said interface connection adapter arrangement further comprises a first part and a second part, the first part and the second part being translatable in relation to each other in said main connection plane, wherein said first rifle fastener comprises cooperating fastener means both on said first part and on said second part, wherein said second rifle fastener comprises cooperating fastener means both on said first part and on said second part, and wherein both said first rifle fastener and said second rifle fastener are arranged to be activated for fastening the interface connection adapter arrangement to the rifle by translating said first part in relation to said second part into a gripping position. wherein the interface connection adapter arrangement is arranged to be pivotally connected to two leg parts, a respective pivot point of both leg parts being arranged in said main connection plane, the leg parts when thus fastened both being arranged to pivot in relation to the interface connection adapter arrangement between a first orientation in which an axis of the leg part in question between said pivot point in question and a distal end of the leg part in question extends on a first side of said main connection plane, and a second orientation in which an axis of the leg part in question between said pivot point in question and a distal end of the leg part in question extends on a second, opposite, side of said main connection plane, wherein the interface connection adapter arrangement comprises: a first interface side, arranged on said first side of the main connection plane, provided with a first rifle fastener, the first rifle fastener being arranged to fasten the interface connection adapter arrangement to the rifle in accordance with a first rifle fastening system, and a second interface side, arranged on said second side of the main connection plane, provided with a second rifle fastener, the second rifle fastener being arranged to fasten the interface connection adapter arrangement to the rifle in accordance with a second rifle fastening system, and wherein the second rifle fastening system is associated with a different fastener geometry as compared to the first rifle connection system; and wherein said interface connection adapter arrangement further comprises a first part and a second part, the first part and the second part being translatable in relation to each other in said main connection plane, wherein said first rifle fastener comprises cooperating fastener means both on said first part and on said second part, wherein said second rifle fastener comprises cooperating fastener means both on said first part and on said second part, and wherein both said first rifle fastener and said second rifle fastener are arranged to be activated for fastening the interface connection adapter arrangement to the rifle by translating said first part in relation to said second part into a gripping position.
