Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of support technology, and more particularly to a bipod. Background Technology

[0002] Gun enthusiasts typically fire rifles from a prone position. To ensure accuracy, they use bipods to stabilize the rifle and ensure the operator can hold it stably. However, due to varying terrain conditions, adjustments to the support angle and height are necessary. This led to the idea of ​​structural improvements to allow rotation in the horizontal plane. However, commercially available bipods often lack vertical rotation capabilities, or even if vertical rotation is achieved, the operator cannot determine whether the rotation is complete. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a bipod that allows the operator to clearly know the rotation angle of the bipod's mounting bracket when using it.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a bipod for supporting firearms. The bipod includes a base component, leg components, and a connecting component. The leg components are rotatably connected to the base component via the connecting component. The base component includes: a locking seat for engaging with the firearm, the bottom of the locking seat having a rotating portion, and the bottom end face of the rotating portion having multiple recesses spaced apart; a coupling member rotatably pivotally connected to the rotating portion of the locking seat, the coupling member having a receiving groove for accommodating the rotating portion, allowing the rotating portion to rotate within the receiving groove, the bottom wall of the receiving groove having multiple ribs spaced apart, the multiple ribs matching the multiple recesses; a base having multiple stepped holes; a pivot rod passing sequentially through the base, the coupling member, and fixedly connected to the rotating portion; and a knob connected to the end of the pivot rod away from the locking seat.

[0005] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the receiving groove is arc-shaped, the multiple ribs are spaced out from the bottom wall of the receiving groove, the end face of the bottom of the rotating part is arc-shaped, the multiple recesses are spaced out from the end face of the bottom of the rotating part, and when the rotating part rotates in the receiving groove, the multiple ribs engage with the corresponding recesses and make a sound.

[0006] In some embodiments, the leg component includes: an inner leg rotatably connected to the base via the connecting member; an outer leg sleeved on the inner leg; and a pressing member for connecting the outer leg and the inner leg, wherein the outer leg is slidable on the inner leg when the pressing member is pressed, and the outer leg is fixed to the inner leg when the pressing member is not pressed.

[0007] In some embodiments, the outer leg includes a mounting end and a leg body. The mounting end is disposed at one end of the leg body and has a receiving cavity formed therein. The pressing member is received within the receiving cavity. The pressing member includes: a pressing element, which includes a pressing portion and a supporting portion. The pressing portion and the supporting portion are disposed opposite to each other and form an interpenetrating portion. The inner leg passes through the interpenetrating portion. When the pressing element is pressed, the supporting portion disengages from the inner leg. When the pressing element is not pressed, the supporting portion abuts against the inner leg. An elastic element is also included, one end of which is fixed to the pressing element and the other end of which is fixed within the receiving cavity of the outer leg. When the pressing element is not pressed, the elastic element is held in its initial position or reset.

[0008] In some embodiments, the inner leg surface that abuts against the supporting portion is provided with a plurality of engaging portions spaced apart, and the supporting portion is received in one of the engaging portions when the pressing member is not pressed.

[0009] In some embodiments, the inner leg has a guide groove on the surface facing the pressing member, the guide groove extending along the length of the inner leg, the mounting end of the outer leg has a through hole, and the leg component also includes a guide member that passes through the through hole and the portion of the guide member exposed in the through hole is received in the guide groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the connecting component includes: a fixing plate having an arcuate edge with a plurality of semi-conical holes; a fixing component for connecting the leg component, the fixing plate, and the base component, wherein the leg component is rotatable relative to the fixing plate and the base component; and a locking component including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is located on the side of the leg component away from the base component for being pressed by an operator, and the second end is located on the side facing the base component and disengages from the fixing plate when the first end is pressed, and abuts against the semi-conical holes of the fixing plate when the locking component is not pressed, thereby positioning the leg component.

[0011] In some embodiments, the inner leg portion has a first hole and a second hole, the first hole being closer to the base component than the second hole, the first hole being used to receive the fixing component; the second hole includes a first receiving hole and a second receiving hole, the diameter of the first receiving hole being larger than the diameter of the second receiving hole, the second hole being used to receive the engaging component.

[0012] In some embodiments, the engaging component includes: a button located on the side of the leg component away from the base component, the front end of the button having a threaded hole along its length, the front end of the button being received within the first receiving hole; an insert located on the side of the leg component facing the base component, one side of the insert passing through the second receiving hole and being received within the threaded hole; and an elastic component sleeved on the insert and received within the first receiving hole, with both ends elastically abutting against the bottom wall of the first receiving hole and the button, respectively.

[0013] In some embodiments, the base has mounting surfaces on both sides, each mounting surface having a mounting hole, the fixing component including a fixing member and a sleeve, the fixing member passing through the first hole and inserted into the mounting hole, the sleeve being fitted onto the fixing member and received in the first hole, and the inner leg being rotatable relative to the fixing component.

[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the bipod provided by this invention has multiple recesses spaced apart on the end face of the rotating part, and multiple ribs are provided on the bottom wall of the receiving groove of the coupling member. The multiple ribs match the multiple recesses. In this way, when the operator rotates the bracket, a sound will be made when the ribs engage with the recesses. This allows the operator to intuitively know the engagement angle and whether the engagement is in place, making it convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0034] <First Implementation Method>

[0035] The following uses Figures 1 to 12 The bipod 100 of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0036] The present invention provides a bipod 100, which can be detachably connected to a firearm (not shown) via a mounting bracket described later. The firearm may be, but is not limited to, a rifle.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The bipod 100 of the present invention includes a base component 10, leg components 30 disposed on both sides of the base component 10, and a connecting component 50. The leg components 30 on both sides are rotatably coupled to the base component 10 via the connecting component 50.

[0038] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The base component 10 includes a card holder 11, a coupling member 12, a base 13, a pivot member 15, a limiting member 16, and a knob 17.

[0039] The mounting bracket 11 is used to detachably engage the bipod 100 with the firearm. The mounting bracket 11 includes a first mounting bracket 111, a second mounting bracket 113, a guide rod 115, and a washer 117. The first mounting bracket 111 and the second mounting bracket 113 cooperate to form a receiving groove 116 (see reference) between them to receive the mounting portion (not shown) of the firearm. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first latch 111 includes a base 1111, a first latching wall 1112, and a rotating part 1113. When the first latch 111 and the second latch 113 are engaged, the base 1111 serves as the bottom of the receiving slot 116 to support the firearm. In this embodiment, the base 1111 also has a guide groove 1114, which is perpendicular to the first latching wall 1112 and is used to receive the guide rod 115. A latching groove 1120 is provided on the end face of the base 1111 facing the second latch 113. The latching groove 1120 is located on the side of the base 1111 away from the first latching wall 1112 and is approximately V-shaped.

[0040] The first locking flange 1112 is used to engage the firearm. The first locking flange 1112 extends upwards from the side of the base 1111 away from the locking groove 1120, and is formed from one side of the base 1111. A first engaging groove 1116 is recessed on the inner side of the first locking flange 1112. The cross-section of the first engaging groove 1116 is approximately V-shaped, used to engage the firearm. Furthermore, a first guide rod hole 1117 is provided through the first locking flange 1112. In this embodiment, the first guide rod hole 1117 is a threaded hole and communicates with the guide groove 1114.

[0041] A rotating portion 1113 extends protruding from the bottom of the base 1111 opposite to the first locking wall 1112, and is used for rotatably coupling with the coupling member 12. The rotating portion 1113 includes two opposing connecting arms 1118, with a receiving cavity 1119 formed between the two connecting arms 1118 for receiving the end of the pivot rod 151. In this embodiment, the two connecting arms 1118 are located at both ends along the length of the first locking wall 1112. Furthermore, each connecting arm 1118 has a through hole 1121, and the two through holes 1121 on the two connecting arms 1118 are aligned for the limiting member 16 (described later) to pass through.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of each connecting arm 1118 away from the base 1111 is arc-shaped, and the end of the connecting arm 1118 includes a connecting surface 1122, on which a plurality of recesses 1123 are provided at intervals.

[0043] The second latch 113 includes a second latch 1131, which is disposed opposite to the first latch 1112 and is used to cooperate with the first latch 1112 to latch the firearm.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second engaging wall 1131 is recessed with a second engaging groove 1132, which is V-shaped. Furthermore, the second engaging wall 1131 is also provided with a second guide rod hole 1133, which communicates with the second engaging groove 1132 and aligns with the first guide rod hole 1117, for the guide rod 115 to pass through.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end face of the second card holder 113 near the first card holder 111 is provided with a protrusion 1134. The protrusion 1134 is located below the second engaging groove 1132, and the protrusion 1134 matches the card groove 1120 so that when the first card holder 111 and the second card holder 113 are engaged, the protrusion 1134 is received in the card groove 1120, thereby securing the first card holder 111 and the second card holder 113 and effectively preventing the first card holder 111 and the second card holder 113 from sliding in the vertical direction.

[0046] The guide rod 115 is used to detachably connect the first retainer 111 and the second retainer 113. The front end of the guide rod 115 is inserted into the second guide rod hole 1133 and the first guide rod hole 1117. The outer wall of the front end of the guide rod 115 is provided with external threads for threaded connection with the first guide rod hole 1117. The tail end of the guide rod 115 is used to abut against the second retainer 113, so that when the front end is inserted into the second guide rod hole 1133 and the first guide rod hole 1117, the tail end abuts against the outer side of the second engaging wall 1131 of the second retainer 113, thereby preventing the guide rod 115 from being inserted as a whole.

[0047] Furthermore, the gasket 117 is fitted onto the guide rod 115 and is used to clamp between the tail end of the guide rod 115 and the second card holder 113.

[0048] When assembling the card holder 11, the gasket 117 is sleeved on the guide rod 115. The front end of the guide rod 115 is passed through the second guide rod hole 1133 and the guide groove 1114 in sequence. By rotating the guide rod 115, it is inserted into the first guide rod hole 1117. In this way, the first card holder 111 and the second card holder 113 are fixed together. As the guide rod 115 rotates, the distance between the first card holder 111 and the second card holder 113 gets closer and closer until the protrusion 1134 of the second card holder 113 is received in the card groove 1120 of the first card holder 111.

[0049] When installing a firearm, the first latch 111 and the second latch 113 can be separated by rotating the guide rod 115, which increases the width of the receiving groove 116. This allows the mounting part of the firearm to be placed into the receiving groove 116. Then, the guide rod 115 is rotated in the opposite direction to engage the first latch 111 and the second latch 113, thereby engaging the mounting part of the firearm with the latch 11 and securing the firearm firmly to the latch 11.

[0050] The coupling member 12 is pivotally connected to the rotating part 1113. A receiving groove 121 is recessed on the surface of the coupling member 12 facing the card holder 11. This receiving groove 121 is used to receive the rotating part 1113 of the card holder 11. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 121 is arc-shaped and matches the connecting surface 1122 of the connecting arm 1118 of the rotating part 1113. Multiple ribs 122 are spaced apart on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 121, and these ribs 122 match multiple recesses 1123.

[0051] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 Since the end of the rotating part 1113 is arc-shaped and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 121 is also arc-shaped, the rotating part 1113 can rotate relative to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 121, that is, while the bottom wall of the receiving groove 121 remains stationary, the rotating part 1113 rotates around the bottom wall of the receiving groove 121 with the limiting member 16 as the axis, thereby allowing the entire card holder 11 to rotate along the first direction. When the rotating part 1113 rotates in the receiving groove 121, a sound will be made when the corresponding rib 122 engages with the corresponding recess 1123. In this way, the operator can judge whether the card holder 11 is engaged in place by the sound and can intuitively know the angle of inclination of the card holder 11.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the opening of the receiving groove 121 is approximately rectangular in shape.

[0053] It is understood that since the opening of the receiving groove 121 is approximately rectangular in shape and matches the contour of the rotating part 1113, the rotating part 1113 can be prevented from rotating relative to the receiving groove 121 on the horizontal plane. The coupling member 12 also has a through hole 123, which communicates with the receiving groove 121 and is used for the pivot rod 151 described later to pass through.

[0054] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting strips 124 are provided on the bottom wall of the coupling member 12, which are arranged around the through hole 123 for engaging with the base 13.

[0055] The base 13 is used to accommodate the coupling member 12 and has multiple stepped holes through it. These stepped holes are a first stepped hole 131, a second stepped hole 132, a third stepped hole 133, and a fourth stepped hole 134. The diameters of the first stepped hole 131, the second stepped hole 132, and the third stepped hole 133 decrease sequentially, while the diameter of the fourth stepped hole 134 is larger than that of the third stepped hole 133. In this embodiment, the first stepped hole 131 is formed by a recess in the upper surface of the base 13 (i.e., the side close to the coupling member 12), and multiple mating strips 135 are provided on the bottom wall of the first stepped hole 131, with the multiple mating strips 135 surrounding the second stepped hole 132. The plurality of mating strips 135 are used to mate with the plurality of mounting strips 124 on the coupling member 12. Thus, when the coupling member 12 is received in the first stepped hole 131, the plurality of mounting strips 124 engage with the corresponding mating strips 135, effectively preventing the coupling member 12 from sliding relative to the base 13. The second stepped hole 132 is formed through the bottom wall of the first stepped hole 131, the third stepped hole 133 is formed through the bottom wall of the second stepped hole 132, and the fourth stepped hole 134 is formed by a recess in the lower surface of the base 13 (i.e., the side away from the coupling member 12), and communicates sequentially with the third stepped hole 133, the second stepped hole 132, and the first stepped hole 131.

[0056] The base 13 also includes two mounting surfaces 137 located on both sides, which are used to mount the leg components 30. The two mounting surfaces 137 are roughly V-shaped. Each mounting surface 137 is also provided with a mounting hole 138.

[0057] The pivot member 15 includes a pivot rod 151, an elastic member 152, a second washer 153, a sleeve 154, and a nut 157.

[0058] The pivot rod 151 connects the knob 17 and the card holder 11. The pivot rod 151 passes through the fourth stepped hole 134, the third stepped hole 133, the second stepped hole 132, and the first stepped hole 131 of the base 13, and its end is received in the receiving cavity 1119 of the card holder 11. It is fixedly connected to the first card holder 111 of the card holder 11 by a limiting member 16. One end of the pivot rod 151 is received in the receiving cavity 1119 of the rotating part 1113. The pivot rod 151 has a through hole 158, which is used to align with the through hole 1119 of the rotating part 1113 and allows the limiting member 16 to be inserted for fixed connection with the rotating part 1113 of the card holder 11.

[0059] The other end of the pivot rod 151 is provided with a receiving cavity 1512, which is used to receive the nut 157 and is threadedly connected to the nut 157.

[0060] In this embodiment, a sleeve 154 is fitted onto the other end of the pivot rod 151, and the sleeve 154 is threadedly connected to the pivot rod 151.

[0061] The elastic element 152 is sleeved on the pivot rod 151 and located between the nut 157 and the bottom of the retainer 11. In this embodiment, the elastic element 152 is sleeved on the pivot rod 151 and received within the second stepped hole 132 of the base 13. The elastic element 152 may be, but is not limited to, a spring, a stacked spring, a coaxial spring, a washer, one or more split-lock washers, stacked split-lock washers, or wave washers, and is not limited herein.

[0062] The knob 17 has a hollow structure, and its interior has a first receiving hole 171, a second receiving hole 172, and a third receiving hole 173. The first receiving hole 171 is used to receive the sleeve 154 and the second gasket 153, the second receiving hole 172 is used to receive the cap of the nut 157, and the third receiving hole 173 is used to receive the end cap 19, so that the end cap 19 covers the second receiving hole 172 to improve the aesthetics.

[0063] It is understood that the front end of the nut 157 passes through the sleeve 154 that is received in the first receiving hole 171 of the knob 17 and is threadedly connected to the pivot rod 151. Thus, the card holder 11 and the coupling member 12 are fixedly connected to the knob 17 through the pivot rod 15. When the knob 17 is rotated, the card holder 11 can also rotate relative to the base 13 as the knob 17 rotates. In this way, the operator can adjust the position of the card holder 11 on the horizontal plane as needed.

[0064] Please refer to the following: Figures 7 to 9 The leg component 30 includes an outer leg 31, an inner leg 33, and a pressing component 35. The outer leg 31 is fitted onto the inner leg 33. When the pressing component 35 is pressed, it can slide on the inner leg 33 to a preset position. When the pressing component 35 is not pressed, it is fixedly mounted on the inner leg 33.

[0065] The outer leg 31 has a hollow structure with an inner cavity inside, which is used to accommodate the inner leg 33, so that the outer leg 31 can be fitted onto the inner leg 33 and can slide telescopically on the inner leg 33.

[0066] In this embodiment, the outer leg portion 31 includes a mounting end 311 and a leg body 313, with the mounting end 311 disposed at one end of the leg body 313. A receiving cavity 3111 communicating with the outside is formed within the mounting end 311, which is used to receive the pressing member 35. Furthermore, first receiving portions 3113 are formed at both ends of one side wall of the receiving cavity 3111, which are used to receive the elastic element 352 described later. The depth of the first receiving portion 3113 is greater than the depth of the receiving cavity 3111. In this embodiment, the second receiving portion 3113 is located on the outermost side wall of the two side walls.

[0067] Furthermore, a hole 3114 is provided on the surface of the mounting end 311 near the leg body 313, which is used for the insertion of the guide 353 described later.

[0068] The inner leg portion 33 includes a connecting end 331, a main body portion 332, and an end portion 333, with the connecting end 331 and the end portion 333 located at both ends of the main body portion 332. The connecting end 331 is used to connect to the base component 10. The connecting end 331 is provided with a first hole portion 3311 and a second hole portion 3312 at intervals, wherein the first hole portion 3311 is located further away from the main body portion 332 than the second hole portion 3312. In this embodiment, the second hole portion 3312 is a stepped hole, including a first receiving hole 3313 and a second receiving hole 3314, with the diameter of the first receiving hole 3313 being larger than the diameter of the second receiving hole 3314.

[0069] Furthermore, the inner leg portion 33 includes a first surface 334 and a second surface 335 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 334 is provided with a guide groove 3341, which extends along the length direction of the inner leg portion 33. In addition, a scale 336 is marked on the side of the first surface 334 near the guide groove 3341, so that the user can intuitively grasp the position of the outer leg portion 31 sliding to the inner leg portion 33, which is convenient for use. In this embodiment, the first surface 334 is the surface on the operator side.

[0070] In this embodiment, the two ends of the first surface 334 are inclined surfaces to facilitate better connection with the outer leg 31, and the scale 336 is disposed on the inclined surface.

[0071] The second surface 335 is provided with a plurality of engaging portions 337 at intervals, which are used to receive the abutting portion 3512 described later. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 337 is a groove, but it may also be other structures, which are not limited here.

[0072] The end 333 has a notch 3331 recessed on the first surface 334. A locking hole 3332 is formed on the bottom wall of the notch 3331, and a locking member 3333 is inserted into the locking hole 3332. The locking hole 3332 is located on the extension line of the guide groove 3341. In this way, after the locking member 3333 is inserted, it just covers the end of the guide groove 3341. Thus, when the guide member 353 (described later) slides to the end of the guide groove 3341, it will not continue to slide down, thus preventing the outer leg 31 from disengaging from the inner leg 33.

[0073] The pressing member 35 includes a pressing member 351, an elastic element 352, and a guide member 353. The pressing member 351 includes a pressing portion 3511 and an abutting portion 3512, which are connected by two connecting walls 3513 to form a closed insertion opening 3514 for the inner leg portion 33 to pass through. In this embodiment, a third receiving portion 3516 is formed on the inner side of the pressing member 351 for receiving the end of the elastic element 352.

[0074] The elastic element 352 is used to hold the pressing member 351 in a preset position. One end of the elastic element 352 is received in the third receiving portion 3516 of the pressing member 351, and the other end is received in the first receiving portion 3112 within the mounting end 311. Thus, when the pressing member 3511 is pressed by the user, the elastic element 352 is compressed, and the holding portion 3512 disengages from the engaging portion 337 of the inner leg portion 33. At this time, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 The outer leg 31 can slide along the inner leg 33. After sliding to the preset position, the pressing part 3511 is released. Due to the elastic force of the elastic element 352, the pressing part 3511 is reset, and the holding part is engaged with the corresponding engaging part 337 to prevent the outer leg 31 and the inner leg 33 from sliding against each other. In this way, the operator can adjust the overall length of the leg part 30 as needed and prevent the outer leg 31 and the inner leg 33 from sliding against each other during use. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0075] The connecting member 50 is used to rotatably connect the leg member 30 to the base member 10. The connecting member 50 includes a fixing plate 51, a fixing member 53, and a locking member 55.

[0076] The fixing plate 51 includes an arc-shaped edge 511, on which a plurality of semi-conical holes 513 are spaced apart. In this embodiment, three semi-conical holes 513 are provided on the arc-shaped edge 511. One semi-conical hole 513 is located at the center of the arc-shaped edge 511, and the other two semi-conical holes 513 are located on either side of the central semi-conical hole 513, and are symmetrically arranged. Of course, the number of semi-conical holes 513 is not limited to three; it can also be five, seven, etc., and is not limited here.

[0077] Furthermore, the fixing plate 51 is also provided with a rotating hole 514, which is located approximately in the center of the fixing plate 51.

[0078] The fixing component 53 is used to connect the fixing plate 51 to the leg component 30 and the base component 10. The fixing component 53 includes a fixing member 531 and a sleeve 533. The sleeve 533 is fitted onto the fixing member 531. The fixing member 531 is used to pass through the first hole 3311 of the inner leg 33, the rotation hole 514 of the fixing plate 51, and the mounting hole 138 of the base 13, thereby connecting the leg component 30 to the base 13. The leg component 30 can be rotatably connected relative to the base 13 and the fixing plate 51.

[0079] The engaging component 55 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is located on the side of the leg component 30 away from the base component 10 and is used for pressing by the operator. The second end is located on the side facing the base component 10 and, when the first end is pressed, disengages from the fixing plate 51. When the engaging component 55 is not pressed, it abuts against the semi-conical hole 513 of the fixing plate 51 to position the leg component 30.

[0080] The engaging component 55 includes a button 551, an elastic component 553, and an insert 555. The front end of the button 551 is hollow and includes a threaded hole 556 for threaded connection with the insert 555. The elastic component 553 is sleeved on the insert 555 and located within the first receiving hole 3313. In this embodiment, the elastic component 553 is a spring.

[0081] The insert 555 includes a fixed end 5551 and an abutting end 5552, the outer diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the fixed end 5551. The abutting end 5552 passes through the second receiving hole 3314 of the inner leg 33 and is inserted into the threaded hole 556 of the button 551, where it is threadedly connected to the button 551.

[0082] Furthermore, the leg component 50 also includes a foot pad 57 disposed at the bottom of the leg component 30. Specifically, the foot pad 57 is received at the end of the outer leg 31 away from the mounting end 311.

[0083] In this embodiment, a fixing hole 571 is provided on the side surface of the foot pad 57, and a mating hole 315 is provided at the end of the outer leg 31 away from the mounting end 311. The fixing hole 571 is aligned with the mating hole 315 and is used to insert the fixing rod 572, thereby fixing the foot pad 57 to the outer leg 31.

[0084] Please refer to the following: Figure 11When adjusting the bipod 100 forward and backward, the operator presses button 551. Due to the action of elastic component 553, insert 555 moves to the corresponding position along the pressing direction, causing the abutting end 5552 on insert 555 to separate from the semi-conical hole 513 of fixing plate 51. Then, the leg component 30 is rotated so that the leg component 30 is in the preset position. Then, button 551 is released. Button 551 returns to the initial position under the elastic force of elastic component 553, thereby driving insert 555 to reset. This causes the abutting end 5552 of insert 555 to engage with the semi-conical hole 513 of fixing plate 51 and abut against fixing plate 51 to position leg component 30, thereby achieving angle adjustment of leg component 30. In this way, bipod 100 can be folded, making the space smaller and easier to store.
