Claim 1
1 . An apparatus for coupling a firearm or optical device to a support, the apparatus comprising: a device portion including: a generally horizontal upper surface configured for attachment to the firearm or optical device; a lower extent including tapered projection having a plurality of surfaces tapering to an apex depending downwardly and at an acute angle relative to the generally horizontal upper surface; and a latch receptacle formed in a portion of the lower extent; a support portion including: a lower surface configured for attachment to the support; an upper surface; a receptacle formed in the upper surface to receive the tapered projection of the device portion, the receptacle including a plurality of receptacle surfaces tapering to a receptacle apex, wherein, upon mating together the device and support portions, at least one of the surfaces and the apices of the receptacle and tapered projection mate together; and a latch member selectively operable to engage the latch receptacle of the device portion to selectively secure together the device and support portions. a device portion including: a generally horizontal upper surface configured for attachment to the firearm or optical device; a lower extent including tapered projection having a plurality of surfaces tapering to an apex depending downwardly and at an acute angle relative to the generally horizontal upper surface; and a latch receptacle formed in a portion of the lower extent; a generally horizontal upper surface configured for attachment to the firearm or optical device; a lower extent including tapered projection having a plurality of surfaces tapering to an apex depending downwardly and at an acute angle relative to the generally horizontal upper surface; and a latch receptacle formed in a portion of the lower extent; a support portion including: a lower surface configured for attachment to the support; an upper surface; a receptacle formed in the upper surface to receive the tapered projection of the device portion, the receptacle including a plurality of receptacle surfaces tapering to a receptacle apex, wherein, upon mating together the device and support portions, at least one of the surfaces and the apices of the receptacle and tapered projection mate together; and a latch member selectively operable to engage the latch receptacle of the device portion to selectively secure together the device and support portions. a lower surface configured for attachment to the support; an upper surface; a receptacle formed in the upper surface to receive the tapered projection of the device portion, the receptacle including a plurality of receptacle surfaces tapering to a receptacle apex, wherein, upon mating together the device and support portions, at least one of the surfaces and the apices of the receptacle and tapered projection mate together; and a latch member selectively operable to engage the latch receptacle of the device portion to selectively secure together the device and support portions.
