Integrated Firearm Receiver Mounts for Stable Modular Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing firearms, such as the Ruger 10/22, lack integrated mounts for components like the buttstock, foregrip, and trigger assembly, leading to complex assembly and disassembly processes and reduced stability.
Innovation Solution
A firearm receiver design with integrated foregrip, buttstock, and trigger assembly mounts, featuring retention rails, keyed rail grooves, and barrel-foregrip retainers, allowing for secure and modular attachment of components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional separate mounting methods are used for buttstock, foregrip, and trigger assembly, then assembly and disassembly processes become complex and time-consuming, but the firearm structure remains simpler to manufacture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple mounting functions directly into the receiver structure. The receiver includes a foregrip mount portion with foregrip mounting threads, a buttstock mount portion with retention rail, and a trigger assembly mount portion with trigger assembly mounting threads. This merging of mounting functions into the receiver eliminates the need for separate mounting mechanisms, thereby simplifying assembly and disassembly processes while maintaining structural integrity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If integrated mounts are added to the receiver for secure component attachment, then component stability improves, but the receiver structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The receiver is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously provides structural support and multiple mounting functions. The foregrip mount portion, buttstock mount portion, and trigger assembly mount portion are all integrated into the single receiver structure. This universal design allows the receiver to stabilize multiple components (barrel, buttstock, foregrip, trigger assembly) while avoiding the need for separate mounting devices, thus improving component stability without proportionally increasing overall structural complexity.

AI summary
The firearm has a receiver with a foregrip mount portion and a buttstock mount portion. The foregrip mount portion is structured to attach a barrel-foregrip retainer to secure a barrel and a foregrip. The buttstock mount portion is structured to accommodate a buttstock. The receiver provides a stable platform for attaching a trigger assembly. An upper portion of the trigger assembly is received into a trigger well of a grip frame. A retaining member extends upwardly from the grip frame. The retaining member is structured to retain a pin disposed through the receiver. The receiver with integrated mounts offers a firearm configuration that suits a user, making it a versatile and functional firearm.
