Firearm Mount With Buffer Tube Recesses For Stable Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Firearm maintenance and assembly are challenging due to the difficulty of steadying the firearm in the correct orientation, especially when dealing with small components in hard-to-reach places.
Innovation Solution
A firearm mount that secures the firearm in a desired position and orientation using a hollow body with recesses for buffer tube mounting and a support member for securing to a support mechanism like a vise, allowing for multiple orientations and stable positioning during maintenance or assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the firearm is held manually during maintenance or assembly, then the operator has flexibility in positioning, but the firearm cannot be steadily positioned in the correct orientation for accessing small components in hard-to-reach places
Solution Approach 1:
A mount serves as an intermediary device between the firearm and the work surface. The mount includes a hollow body that receives the buffer tube of the firearm, with a flange receiving portion that engages the buffer tube flange. This intermediary structure provides stable positioning and correct orientation for maintenance operations without requiring complex manual holding mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount is divided into functional segments: a hollow body for receiving the buffer tube, a flange receiving portion for engagement, and a support member for securing to the work surface. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, providing steadiness without overall system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the firearm is secured in a fixed position for maintenance, then access to small components is improved, but the firearm cannot be repositioned for different maintenance tasks or orientations
Solution Approach 1:
The hollow body of the mount is designed with a universal flange receiving portion that can accommodate buffer tubes in various orientations. The support member can be secured to the work surface in different positions, allowing the firearm to be mounted for different maintenance tasks. This multi-functionality provides both stable positioning and repositioning capability without requiring multiple specialized fixtures.
