US12768617 - Rifle case convertible into a shooting bench
The patent describes a rifle case that can be transformed into a shooting bench, featuring articulated and extendable metal arms for support and a recoil-absorbing bag for stability. This innovative design allows for improved aiming accuracy by providing a stable platform when the rifle is in use.
Claim 1
1 . A rifle case convertible into a shooting bench, consisting of a rigid rifle case with two side covers joined on one side by a hinged system, characterized by incorporating the following elements described from a rifle stock in a shooting position on the shooting bench, towards the opposite end: A) An articulated and extendable metal arm for a stock seat ( 1 ) equipped with a recoil-absorbing bag ( 2 ), which emerges from a center of a first side cover of the rifle case, from a folded position on the rifle case to an alternative position on the shooting bench perpendicular thereto and such that a lower end of the articulated and extendable metal arm for the stock seat ( 1 ) rests on the ground surface by means of a height-adjustable leg ( 5 ); B) A rigid handle provided at a top of the rifle case to manually support the rifle case and a rifle barrel support channel ( 3 ) with a pressure lever to facilitate barrel retention and manual release; and C) Two equal, extendable, articulated metal arms for front support and balance ( 4 ) that emerge from a second side cover opposite the first side cover along two rotation axes contained in the second side cover that divide the second side cover into approximately three equal parts, from a folded position towards ends of the second side cover to an alternative position on the shooting bench forming an angle between 45° and 90° with respect thereto, such that lower ends of the two equal, extendable, articulated metal arms for front support and balance ( 4 ) rest on the ground surface by means of the corresponding height-adjustable legs ( 5 ). A) An articulated and extendable metal arm for a stock seat ( 1 ) equipped with a recoil-absorbing bag ( 2 ), which emerges from a center of a first side cover of the rifle case, from a folded position on the rifle case to an alternative position on the shooting bench perpendicular thereto and such that a lower end of the articulated and extendable metal arm for the stock seat ( 1 ) rests on the ground surface by means of a height-adjustable leg ( 5 ); B) A rigid handle provided at a top of the rifle case to manually support the rifle case and a rifle barrel support channel ( 3 ) with a pressure lever to facilitate barrel retention and manual release; and C) Two equal, extendable, articulated metal arms for front support and balance ( 4 ) that emerge from a second side cover opposite the first side cover along two rotation axes contained in the second side cover that divide the second side cover into approximately three equal parts, from a folded position towards ends of the second side cover to an alternative position on the shooting bench forming an angle between 45° and 90° with respect thereto, such that lower ends of the two equal, extendable, articulated metal arms for front support and balance ( 4 ) rest on the ground surface by means of the corresponding height-adjustable legs ( 5 ).
