Benefits of technology

"The patent describes an apparatus for mounting accessories to a firearm. It includes an adapter that matches the shape of the firearm, a rail with guides for attaching accessories, and an adhesive to stick the adapter to the firearm. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a secure and easy way to attach accessories to a firearm."

Problems solved by technology

Because some firearms do not include accessory mounts, operators either have to omit carrying an accessory device or purchase an adapter, many of which are unstable, require permanent firearm modifications or disassembly, and are known to cause excessive wear to the firearm.
Both devices make direct contact with the body of the firearm and can cause excessive marring or wear.
The first device requires that the rail adapter be mounted directly to the trigger guard, which can cause increased wear and become unstable when recoil is present.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Unless noted otherwise, “longitudinal” describes a direction parallel to slide 9 of FIG. 1; “transverse” describes a horizontal direction perpendicular to slide 9 when slide 9 is horizontally positioned as shown in FIG. 1; “above” means vertically above when the firearm 10 is held with its slide 9 horizontal; “below” or “beneath” means vertically below when the firearm 10 is held with the slide 9 horizontal. In addition, “length” describes a longitudinal measurement; “height” describes a vertical measurement, “depth” or “width” describes a transverse measurement.

[0020]FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 show a mounting apparatus according to one embodiment. The mounting apparatus has an elongated rail 7 comprised of platform 6, guides 5, slots 3, and grooves 4. Platform 6 is an elongated base structure having two longitudinal guides 5 protruding on each of its longitudinal sides. Platform 6 acts as a base for the mounting apparatus and provides a common platform for guides 5. Guides 5 are point...

Abstract

An apparatus for mounting an accessory device to a firearm includes an adapter member formed to the contours of the firearm's surface, an adjacent rail having two longitudinal rail guides protruding from each longitudinal side of the rail for slidably mating with a rail compatible accessory device, and an adhesive member adhering the adapter member and its attached components to the firearm.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to an apparatus for mounting an accessory device to a firearm.DISCUSSION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Many firearms include a standardized accessory rail or accessory mount built directly into the firearm's body. The rail allows an operator to attach various rail compatible accessories such as a laser sight or weapon mounted flashlight directly to the firearm. Because some firearms do not include accessory mounts, operators either have to omit carrying an accessory device or purchase an adapter, many of which are unstable, require permanent firearm modifications or disassembly, and are known to cause excessive wear to the firearm.[0003]Novak designs, Inc. produces a pistol accessory mount sold as a “1911 Tactical Light Rail.” This accessory mount requires that the pistol be permanently altered by drilling bores into the pistol to secure the rail.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 7,076,908 (2006) and U.S. Pat. No 7,334,365 (2008) both issued to Kim describe ...
