Adjustable Gun Vise with Horizontal and Vertical Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gun vises have a limited range of motion, making it difficult for shooters to aim and hold steady, especially for small or inexperienced shooters, and they do not effectively mitigate the recoil's impact on accuracy and comfort.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable gun vise with a coupling component, mounting component, horizontal adjustment mechanism, and vertical adjustment mechanism that allows for secure mounting to a surface and adjustable positioning in both vertical and horizontal directions, enabling precise aiming and reducing recoil impact.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional gun vise is used, then the gun can be held steady, but the range of motion is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The gun vise incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms including a vertical adjustment mechanism with a threaded rod and nut assembly that allows the coupling component to move vertically along the support arm, and a horizontal adjustment mechanism with a slider that moves along the support arm. These dynamic elements enable the vise to adapt to different gun positions and aiming angles while maintaining structural integrity through standardized adjustment components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the gun vise has limited range of motion, then the structure is simpler, but the shooter cannot aim at all distances
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment system is segmented into independent vertical and horizontal adjustment mechanisms. The vertical adjustment mechanism uses a threaded rod with nut assembly that allows precise vertical movement, while the horizontal adjustment mechanism uses a slider that moves along the support arm. This segmentation allows each mechanism to be optimized for its specific direction of movement and simplifies the overall operation by allowing adjustments in one direction without affecting the other.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the gun vise is fixed in position, then the structure is more stable, but the shooter cannot adjust for different target distances
Solution Approach 1:
The gun vise is designed with pre-configured adjustment mechanisms that allow the coupling component to be positioned at various heights and locations along the support arm before use. The vertical adjustment mechanism includes a threaded rod with nut assembly that can be pre-positioned at different vertical locations, and the horizontal adjustment mechanism includes a slider that can be pre-positioned at different locations along the support arm. This preliminary configuration allows the vise to be stable during use while maintaining the ability to adjust for different target distances.

AI summary
A gun vise for adjustably holding a gun on a mounting surface includes a coupling component, a mounting component, a horizontal adjustment mechanism, and a vertical adjustment mechanism. The coupling component is configured to couple a gun to the gun vise. The mounting component is configured to secure the gun vise to a mounting surface. The horizontal adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a position of the coupling component in a first direction. The vertical adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a position of the coupling component in a second direction.
