Adjustable Gun Stand With Telescoping Support for Uneven Terrain
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Hunters face challenges in maintaining a stable and easily accessible gun position while minimizing movement, which is essential for stealth during extended hunting periods, as holding a weapon interferes with using other tools like binoculars and calls, and existing gun stands lack adaptability for different terrains and shallow water environments.
Innovation Solution
A gun stand with a support post, tray assembly, and ground stake, featuring telescoping connections for height adjustability, a clamshell-type gun stock support, magnetic gun barrel receivers, and a flexible pouch, allowing for secure gun holding without interfering with rapid retrieval and featuring a ground stabilizer for stability on various surfaces, including shallow water.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the hunter uses a fixed gun stand, then the gun is securely held, but the stand cannot adapt to different terrains and shallow water environments
Solution Approach 1:
The gun stand incorporates adjustable telescoping legs with multiple lockable length positions, allowing the structure to dynamically adapt its height and stability configuration to suit different terrain conditions and shallow water depths while maintaining secure gun holding capability
Solution Approach 2:
The gun stand is designed as a universal device that can function effectively across multiple environments including various terrains and shallow water conditions, achieved through adjustable leg lengths and a stable base design that provides reliable support regardless of the underlying surface
2Device complexity
If the gun stand has fixed height, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate different terrain and hunting applications
Solution Approach 1:
The gun stand structure is segmented into adjustable telescoping leg components that can be independently extended or retracted to different lengths, allowing height customization for various terrains while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The telescoping legs employ a nested doll principle where one leg segment is inserted within another, allowing compact storage and transport while providing extended height adjustment capability when deployed, thus balancing structural simplicity with adaptability

AI summary
A gun stand includes a support post, a tray assembly and a ground stake. A first telescoping connection connects the tray assembly to a first end of the support post. A second telescoping connection connects the ground stake to a second end of the support post. The two telescoping connections are independently adjustable.
