Problems solved by technology

Expensive hunting weapons mostly employ mounting apparatuses which are custom-made by hand, and which possess very precise and complex surfaces.
The disadvantage lies in a complicated insertion procedure and in discovering the proper fastening position, as well as in the necessarily high level of precision required to manufacture the Ward apparatus.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Each Figure shows the same mounting apparatus in various views. All common reference numbers throughout the drawing Figures represent common objects.

[0019] Generally, concepts such as "above", "forward", and the like, are based on the normal firing position of a weapon, with the shooting direction being horizontal. "Forward" indicates a direction in the shooting direction.

[0020] One example of a mounting apparatus constructed according to the teachings of the invention encompasses a rail 1 of plastic, which is preferably formed by an injection process and molded on a core of glass fiber reinforcement, or the like. The rail 1 has a substantial or massive underpart 2, which can have an approximately rectangular cross-section, and is mounted on the upper part of a weapon. The rail also has two upper parts 4, which are located on opposed sides of the underpart 2. Each upper part generally has a square cross-section portion which extends outward into an equilateral triangle portio...

Abstract

A mounting apparatus is disclosed for attaching a sighting device onto a weapon. The mounting apparatus has a rail disposed on part of the weapon in a longitudinal direction. The rail has a pair of longitudinally extending opposed sides and a longitudinally extending first attachment element on each of the opposed sides. A removable mounting base has a pair of longitudinally extending side edges and a longitudinally extending second attachment element on each side edge. Each second attachment element is complimentary to a corresponding one of the first attachment elements. The mounting base is slidingly and longitudinally engaged with the rail via the complimentary first and second attachment elements. The mounting base is formed of at least two parts which are slidable against one another in a transverse direction. A spring mechanism produces a spring force and is arranged to bias the two parts of the mounting base into engagement with the rail. The spring force is overcome by manually squeezing the two parts to release the mounting base from the rail.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001] This patent is a continuing application claiming priority from related copending international application Ser. No. PCT / EP00 / 03601, filed on Apr. 20, 2000.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002] The present invention relates generally to barreled weaponry, and more particularly to a mounting apparatus for installing a telescopic sight or the like on such a barreled weapon.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003] There are a great many types of mounting apparatuses for the adjustable securement of telescopic sights and the like on weapons. In all, the common basic endeavor is to fasten the mounted telescopic sight securely, so that its relative positioning with the weapon is maintained.[0004] Expensive hunting weapons mostly employ mounting apparatuses which are custom-made by hand, and which possess very precise and complex surfaces. Where sport weapons and military weapons are concerned, on the other hand, preference is given mostly to more simple and robust mounting appara...
