US12455138 - Sliding gun rest system and method of use
The sliding gun rest system features a rail and a movable rest that allows a firearm to be securely positioned and adjusted along the rail. A restraint device is included to control the movement of the support cradle, enhancing stability when lateral forces are not applied.
Claim 1
1 . A movable support system for a firearm on a structure comprising: a. a rail having an elongated design attached to the structure, wherein the rail is attached proximate to an opening in the structure and the elongated design extends along a width of the opening; b. a movable rest comprising i. a first body that provides a firearm rest having an opening defined in part by a first arm and a second arm, wherein a portion of the firearm fits within the opening, ii. a second body attached to the first body by a flexible connection, which holds a bottom section of the first body to a top section of the second body in an abutting relationship, wherein the first body may rotate relative to the second body and the flexible connection allows the first body to temporarily disengage from the abutting relationship with the second body, and iii. a rail fitting attached to the second body, wherein the rail fitting complements the rail and is configured to connect the second body to the rail with a movable connection that allows the movable rest to travel the rail along the elongated design and position the first body within the opening; and c. a restraint system having a pad between the rail and the rail fitting, wherein the pad limits movement along the elongated design when lateral force is not applied to the movable rest, and wherein the pad allows movement when lateral force is applied to the movable rest. a. a rail having an elongated design attached to the structure, wherein the rail is attached proximate to an opening in the structure and the elongated design extends along a width of the opening; b. a movable rest comprising i. a first body that provides a firearm rest having an opening defined in part by a first arm and a second arm, wherein a portion of the firearm fits within the opening, ii. a second body attached to the first body by a flexible connection, which holds a bottom section of the first body to a top section of the second body in an abutting relationship, wherein the first body may rotate relative to the second body and the flexible connection allows the first body to temporarily disengage from the abutting relationship with the second body, and iii. a rail fitting attached to the second body, wherein the rail fitting complements the rail and is configured to connect the second body to the rail with a movable connection that allows the movable rest to travel the rail along the elongated design and position the first body within the opening; and i. a first body that provides a firearm rest having an opening defined in part by a first arm and a second arm, wherein a portion of the firearm fits within the opening, ii. a second body attached to the first body by a flexible connection, which holds a bottom section of the first body to a top section of the second body in an abutting relationship, wherein the first body may rotate relative to the second body and the flexible connection allows the first body to temporarily disengage from the abutting relationship with the second body, and iii. a rail fitting attached to the second body, wherein the rail fitting complements the rail and is configured to connect the second body to the rail with a movable connection that allows the movable rest to travel the rail along the elongated design and position the first body within the opening; and c. a restraint system having a pad between the rail and the rail fitting, wherein the pad limits movement along the elongated design when lateral force is not applied to the movable rest, and wherein the pad allows movement when lateral force is applied to the movable rest.
