AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0015]An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a cheek rest that straps onto a firearm or non-firearm stock and allows the user to get a tighter cheek weld when using rifle scopes that sit much higher than the natural line of sight.
[0016]An added advantage of the present invention is that it provides an adjustable strapping system to fit a variety of stocks. An ensuing advantage of the present invention is that it provides a means for carrying the rifle by attaching a rifle carrying sling to the device.
[0017]One more advantage of the present invention is that it provides a sealable chamber to carry objects, such as shells or batteries.
[0018]An additional advantage of the present invention is that it provides a lightweight design with various means of hollowing out the inside of the cheek rest body.

Problems solved by technology

When using rifle scopes that set much higher than the natural line of sight, some stock and scope configurations barely allow for shooters chins to touch the stock and prevents a user from getting a tight cheek weld for a more steady and accurate aim through the scope.
Prior art devices which are pulled from the lower edges of the prior art rests do not provide straps which wrap all the way around the stock.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]In FIGS. 1-10, a rifle stock cheek rest apparatus 10A-10G, used with a rifle 50 having an elevated scope 51 mounted on the rifle, comprises a cheek rest body 20A-20R and the adjustable means 30A-30E for attaching the cheek rest 10 to any of a variety of types of rifle stocks 50.

[0040]In FIGS. 1-10, the cheek rest body 20 comprises a contoured cheek rest bottom 24 and a smooth, substantially horizontal cheek rest top 22. The contoured cheek rest bottom 24 rests on and conforms to the top of a rifle stock 50 of any of a variety of types of rifle stocks 50 having a scope 51 mounted on the rifle. The cheek rest bottom 24 has two downwardly extending side walls 25A and 25B for straddling the rifle stock 50. The cheek rest body 20 further comprises a smooth, substantially horizontal cheek rest top 22 that has an elongated, transversely rounded top surface for resting the cheek of a user thereon while aiming through the scope 51 to fire the rifle. The cheek rest top 22 is spaced abov...

Abstract

A cheek rest is strapped onto a firearm stock to allow the user to get a tighter cheek weld when using rifle scopes. The cheek rest can be altered to fit various manufactured stocks. An adjustable strapping system provides greater tension on the bottom of the rest ensuring it mates tightly with the stock. A more rigid, highly-placed structure is provided to press ones face against when using a scope.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not Applicable.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0003]Not Applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0004]The present invention relates to rifle stock rests for use with rifle scopes and in particular to a cheek rest to strap onto a firearm or non-firearm stock to allow the user to get a tighter cheek weld when using rifle scopes that set much higher than the natural line of sight and provide a contour of the rest where it mates to the stock which can be altered to fit various stocks by the manufacturer and have the straps positioned to pass through the rest over the stock allowing for greater tension on the bottom of the rest to mate tightly with the stock, thus having a more rigid structure to press ones face against. Description of Related Art including information disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98[0005]Whe...
