Benefits of technology

Enables users to stabilize and adjust long-barreled equipment, like rifles, with one hand, allowing hunters to maintain focus on their target and make necessary adjustments without compromising their line of sight or control over the equipment.

Problems solved by technology

However, many stabilization devices require both hands to set-up and / or adjust.
This is problematic for people who want to quickly stabilize long-barreled equipment with a support device while contemporaneously engaging in the activity.
However, a hunter may only have one hand free to set-up and / or adjust a support device because the hunter is likely to keep one hand on the trigger.
Thus, a hunter with one hand on the trigger is usually not able to quickly set-up and / or adjust a tripod or other support device.
In these situations, hunters may not be prepared to shoot at critical moments when there is a clear line of sight to the animal.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]In the following detailed description of the invention, numerous details, examples, and embodiments of the invention are described. However, it will be clear and apparent to one skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments set forth and that the invention can be adapted to work for any kind of equipment support, including those used to support telescopes, telephoto lenses of cameras, and many other devices having long barrels.

[0020]Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel support apparatus that is set-up and operated by one hand of an operator to stabilize the for-end of a barrel section of an equipment item used to engage in an activity. The support apparatus of some embodiments is a single hand-operated rifle support that stabilizes the for-end of the rifle barrel. The single hand-operated rifle support of some embodiments includes an actuated rifle rest body, a set of legs connected to a lower portion of the rifle rest body, a set of bear...

Abstract

Some embodiments provide a support apparatus that is set-up and operated by one hand of an operator to stabilize the forend of a barrel section of an item used to engage in an activity. The apparatus is a single hand-operated rifle support that stabilizes the for-end of the rifle barrel. The single hand-operated rifle support includes an actuated rifle rest body, a set of adjustable length aluminum pole legs connected to a lower portion of the rifle rest body, a set of bearings that is each connected by a pin to one of the legs and the actuated rifle rest for pivoting the legs, a rifle rest connected to an upper portion of the rifle rest body, and a single plunger and pivot arm linkage in an interior portion of the rifle rest body.

Description

CLAIM OF BENEFIT TO PRIOR APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims benefit to U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14 / 146,684, entitled “Single-Hand Adjustable Bipod Rifle Support,” filed Jan. 2, 2014. The U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14 / 146,684 is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]A wide variety of activities are enhanced when one or more items are used to support equipment or devices used in the activity. For example, a GPS stand in a car may support a GPS device that a driver uses for map viewing. Many equipment users want to use their equipment in a variety of different locations, and thus, such support items must also be mobile in order to optimize their utility. In some cases, equipment users plan to use their equipment in remote locations or in locations where accessibility is challenged. For example, a deer hunter may hunt from a tree stand twenty feet above the ground while a quail hunter may li...
