Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of hunting racks, and in particular to a gun rack structure and a hunting platform. Background Technology

[0002] In legal hunting grounds both domestically and internationally, especially in foreign forests, hunters need a base for observing and waiting for prey. Modern hunting platform structures, such as the "Tree Ladder with Support and Protection Device" disclosed in utility model patent CN207538769U, include a support part and a seat part. The entire tree ladder is supported and fixed to one side of a tree. The hunter climbs the ladder to the seat to observe and wait for the prey to appear. In order to facilitate the mounting of firearms and tools, a gun rack is set on the seat part. After the hunter sits on the seat, the firearm can be mounted on the gun rack for shooting.

[0003] The two ends of the aforementioned gun mount are connected to the seat. In order to facilitate the hunter to enter the seat, the two ends of the gun mount are often connected to the seat by hinges. The hinge shaft uses a damping shaft to achieve limit at any angle. This type of gun mount is only suitable for supporting lightweight guns and cannot meet the needs of supporting relatively heavy guns, which limits the size of the prey to be hunted. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the support strength of the gun mount, the primary objective of this application is to provide a gun mount structure for a hunting platform.

[0005] The gun mount structure for a hunting platform provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A gun rack structure for a hunting platform is mounted on a seat, the seat being mounted on a frame; the gun rack structure includes:

[0007] The gun mount includes two side frames and a crossbar connecting one end of the two side frames. The other end of the side frames is hinged to the seat. The side frames and the crossbar together form a protected area.

[0008] A support frame, wherein the two ends of the support frame are a movable end and a free end, and the movable end is connected to a side frame; and

[0009] Auxiliary rods connecting both sides of the frame;

[0010] The free end of the support frame can abut against the auxiliary rod to prevent the gun mount from rotating towards the side closer to the frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a support frame that is movably connected to the gun mount is added. When the gun is unfolded and used, the support frame abuts against the auxiliary rod on the frame. When the gun is placed on the gun mount, part of the overall weight can be transferred from the support frame to the auxiliary rod. The auxiliary rod is connected to the frame, so that part of the force can be distributed to the frame. The frame is then connected to the seat. Thus, the weight of the entire gun can be shifted from the original load-bearing structure of the gun mount and seat to the load-bearing structure, thereby improving the support strength and stability of the gun.

[0012] Preferably, the support frame can be mounted on the side frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the firearm is not in use, the support frame can be engaged with the side frame to achieve a folding effect, which makes it easy for personnel to climb onto the seat so that the gun holder and the support frame can be flipped to the side away from the frame.

[0014] Preferably, the support frame has a slot, and the side frame can be locked in the slot.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the slot makes it easy for the side frame to be inserted, and the locking structure is simple and convenient to operate.

[0016] Preferably, the support frame includes:

[0017] A first frame, wherein the movable end is disposed on the first frame; and

[0018] The second frame can slide relative to the first frame.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the split-structure support frame can flexibly adapt to support the gun mount body under different hovering angles.

[0020] Preferably, the support frame further includes a first limiting member for fixing the second frame to the first frame.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, after supporting and limiting the gun mount body in different angles of suspension, the first limiting component can lock the relative position between the first and second mount bodies, ensuring stability during the support process.

[0022] Preferably, the free end is located on the second frame, and the free end has a notch that abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the auxiliary rod.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the notch set on the free end can match the outer peripheral wall of the auxiliary rod, reducing the stress concentration problem on the contact surface between the two, improving service life and better ensuring stability during support.

[0024] Preferably, the side frame has an elongated opening, and the movable end is slidably connected to the elongated opening; wherein, the support frame further includes a second limiting member connected to the movable end and passing through the elongated opening for fixing the movable end at any position in the elongated opening.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding of the movable end at any position within the elongated opening ultimately matches the angle position of the gun mount when it is suspended, precisely ensuring contact between the free end of the support frame and the auxiliary rod. Furthermore, the second limiting component fixes the relative position between the support frame and the gun mount, improving stability during support.

[0026] Preferably, the auxiliary rod is detachably connected to the frame, and the frame has multiple mounting holes along its vertical height for connecting the auxiliary rod.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the multiple mounting holes facilitate adjustment of the auxiliary rod's position on the frame, making it suitable for different gun mount suspension angles and the relative positions of the support frame and the auxiliary rod. Simultaneously, the auxiliary rod's position on the frame also facilitates personnel climbing onto the seat for handholds.

[0028] Preferably, it also includes card holders connected to both sides of the seat, which can abut against the card holders when the side frame swings toward the side of the frame.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the cassette limits the maximum position of the gun mount body to the side of the frame. When the gun mount body is in the maximum position, it can abut against the cassette to further improve the support strength and stability of the gun mount body.

[0030] To improve the support strength of the gun mount, a second objective of this application is to provide a hunting platform.

[0031] The gun mount structure for a hunting platform provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0032] A hunting platform includes a ladder, one side of which is connected to a frame, including the aforementioned gun rack structure.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact between the support frame and the auxiliary rod can provide support and limit the gun mount, thereby improving the support strength for the firearm.

[0034] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0035] 1. By adding a support frame that is movably connected to the gun mount, and combining it with an auxiliary rod connected to the frame, the support limit when the gun mount is suspended is improved, thereby increasing the support strength;

[0036] 2. By combining the long openings in the side frame with the telescopic structure of the support frame and the auxiliary rods installed at multiple positions on the frame, the swing and suspension angle range of the entire gun mount is increased, allowing for more flexible adjustment of the gun mount's position.

[0037] 3. The slotted design of the support frame allows it to be folded up when personnel climb onto the seat or when the gun mount is not in use, saving space. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0047] Figure 1 This illustration shows a hunting platform and a fixed structure 6 assembled and fixed together according to this application. In this embodiment, the fixed structure 6 connected to the hunting platform can be a tree, a wall, or an object with a certain rigidity. In this embodiment, a tree is used as a commonly used fixed structure. The main structure of the hunting platform includes a ladder 4 and a seat 3 installed and fixed on the ladder 4. The ladder 4 has a certain height so that the seat 3 is above the ground to provide the hunter with sufficient visibility, concealment, and safety.

[0048] A frame 2 is connected to the ladder 4, and a seat 3 is installed on the frame 2. A platform 5 is set under the seat to provide leg support for the hunter and a small range of standing activities. The platform 5 is connected to the frame 2 and the ladder 4 to meet the support strength requirements.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The seat 3 is also equipped with a gun mount structure 1, which includes a gun mount body 11, a support frame 13, and an auxiliary rod 14. The gun mount body 11 includes two side frames 111 and a crossbar 112 connecting the two side frames 111. One end of the side frames 111 is connected to the seat body via a hinge shaft 114, which allows the entire gun mount body 11 to swing relative to the seat 3. At the same time, the hinge shaft 114 uses a damping shaft to allow the gun mount body 11 to be suspended at any angle. The crossbar 112 is located on the front side of the seat 3, and the two side frames 111 are located on both sides of the seat 3, so that they form a protected area 12, which can reduce the possibility of the hunter falling off the seat 3.

[0050] The support frame 13 has two parts, each movably connected to a corresponding side frame 111. Each support frame 13 includes a first frame 131 and a second frame 132 that can slide relative to each other. The first frame 131 is slidably connected to the second frame 132. Adjustment ports 133 are provided on both sides of the first frame 131. The first frame 131 and the second frame 132 are fixed together by a first limiting member 134. Specifically, the first limiting member 134 can be a bolt passing through the second frame 132 and the adjustment port 133 to fix the two together.

[0051] One end of the first frame 131 is a movable end, which is connected to the side frame 111 through the second limiting member 137. The side frame 111 has a long opening 113 through it. The second limiting member 137 can also be fixed by bolts passing through the movable end and the long opening. Of course, when the second limiting member 137 is disengaged, it slides in the long opening 113 as a sliding member, and the first frame 131 can also rotate around the second limiting member 137.

[0052] The end of the second frame 132 furthest from the first frame 131 is a free end, which abuts against the auxiliary rod 14. The auxiliary rod 14 is detachably connected to the frame 2. Specifically, the auxiliary rod 14 can be connected to the mounting holes 21 on the frame 2 by means of threaded connection or snap-fit, etc. To accommodate the suspension of the gun mount 11 at different angles, multiple mounting holes 21 are provided in the vertical height direction of the frame 2. At the same time, the free end is provided with an arc-shaped notch 136. When the free end abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the auxiliary rod 14, the surface of the notch 136 can fit against the outer peripheral wall of the auxiliary rod 14 to reduce stress concentration.

[0053] The entire gun mount structure 1 also includes a tray 15 connected to both sides of the seat 3. The tray 15 is connected to the seat 3 by a threaded connection. When the gun mount body 11 flips and swings towards the side of the frame 2, the lower side frame 111 abuts against the tray 15 at the maximum swing stroke. On the one hand, this further enhances the support strength of the entire gun mount body 11, and on the other hand, it limits the maximum swing floating on one side of the gun mount body 11.

[0054] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support frame 13 has a slot 135, making the entire cross-section approximately concave. The side frame 111 can be inserted into the slot 135, thus connecting the support frame 13 and the side frame 111. The support frame 13 is made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the side frame 111 to undergo some elastic deformation when inserted into the slot 135. When the support frame 13 and the side frame 111 are engaged, they are in a folded state. In this state, when the hunter climbs onto the seat 3, the support frame 13 will not interfere with the climbing action and will not occupy excessive space.

[0055] See Figure 5 When the entire gun mount structure 1 is deployed and in use, the horizontal plane L is defined, and the support frame 13 and the side frame 111 present a stable triangular support structure, which improves the support strength and stability for the firearm.

[0056] After the hunting platform in this embodiment is assembled with the fixed body 6, the hunter ascends to the platform 5 via the ladder 4. At this time, the support frame 13 can be retracted to reduce climbing interference. The auxiliary rod 14 can help the hunter climb to the platform 5. The gun rack 11 flips open towards the side away from the frame 2. After the hunter sits on the seat 3, he adjusts the angle of the gun rack 11 according to his height, opens the support frame 13, selects the telescopic length and the position relative to the side frame 111, and locks the first limiting member 134 and the second limiting member 137. One end of the support frame 13 abuts against the auxiliary rod 14, and the firearm can be stably mounted on the crossbar 112 to wait for the shooting action after the hunting is in place.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
