Description

[0001] 1. Technical field: The present invention relates to the field of mounting systems for optical devices, in particular for attaching telescopic sights and similar devices to firearms.

[0002] 2. State of the art: Conventional mounting systems for optical devices on firearms often suffer from the problem that individual components such as the clamping jaw, the fastening nut, or the fastening screw can become lost due to improper handling or during use. This limits usability and can potentially be safety-critical. Furthermore, such systems are often complicated to handle and not robust enough to withstand extreme operating conditions.

[0003] 3. Object of the invention: The object of the present invention is to create a mounting system that securely attaches optical devices to firearms while preventing components such as the clamping jaw or the mounting nut from becoming lost. Furthermore, the invention is intended to improve the ease of use and robustness of the mounting system.

[0004] 4. Solution to the problem: The invention solves the stated problem by developing an innovative clamping system. This clamping system is characterized by the design of the clamping jaw and fastening nut so that they cannot be loosened during normal use. Mechanical anchors and defined fit dimensions ensure that the system components remain securely in place without compromising the functionality of the assembly.

[0005] 5. Beneficial effects: • Prevents loss of the clamping jaw and fastening nut, increasing the reliability of the system. • Improved usability thanks to a robust and easy-to-handle design. • Suitable for extreme operating conditions as the system is robust and durable. • Increased safety and efficiency when using optical devices on firearms.

[0006] 6. Detailed description of the invention: The mounting system consists of three central components: a clamping jaw, a specially designed threaded structure, and a fastening nut. This clamping jaw and nut are movable but inseparably connected to the threaded structure. This innovative connection allows the clamping jaw to be flexibly positioned while preventing the moving components from completely separating during normal use.

[0007] The clamping jaw is mounted between the mounting base and the fastening nut. The fastening nut is designed so that it cannot be loosened without deliberately dismantling the threaded structure. At the same time, the threaded structure ensures even distribution of recoil forces across the entire mounting system, reducing stress on individual components and increasing the service life of the assembly. During normal operation, the fastening nut remains immovably fixed, even under strong vibrations or demanding operating conditions.

[0008] Additionally, the design ensures that the clamp can be easily mounted on the firearm without the user having to worry about losing parts or compromising functionality. To ensure maximum durability and reliability, all components are constructed from durable materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, recoil, and other mechanical stresses.

[0009] The design allows the user to operate the mounting system quickly and precisely. The movable, yet firmly connected construction allows for easy adjustment, while ensuring safety by keeping all individual components in place. This eliminates the need for additional securing of individual components, significantly increasing ease of use.
