Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent text is to improve the locking mechanism of a weapon support.

Problems solved by technology

One problem with this design of the past is that an end of the screw engaged the support column with point contact force that was not distributed.
Also, the point contact of the end of the screw against the support did not always provide the necessary locking force to prevent vertical movement of the support column, especially during cleaning of a rifle or during shooting.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to weapon rests and, more particularly, to weapon rests having at least one support and improved means and apparatus for locking the at least one support in a predetermined position.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A weapon rest is a device which facilitates the use of a weapon, such as a hand gun, rifle, crossbow and the like. The weapon rest typically provides a stable surface for supporting the weapon during target practice, marksmanship competition, hunting, cleaning of the weapon and the like.[0005]Various types of weapon rests have been used in the past and provided different means for supporting the weapon. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,600,913 illustrates a pistol rest that provided a two-piece adjustable molded plastic rest that had a fork member to be retained within a base member and the fork member and base member had means for raising and lowering the rest portion of the de...
