Firearm Stabilizing Device Anchor Line Spool Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing weapon stabilizing systems fail to provide reliable and adjustable stabilization for various firearms, particularly during firing, as they lack a versatile mechanism to manage anchor lines and attachment securely.
Innovation Solution
A stabilizing device with a housing, anchor line, and attachment mechanism that allows for release and retraction of the anchor line, featuring an activation member to switch between locked and released positions, and a spool mechanism for managing the anchor line tension, which can be securely attached to different types of firearms using Picatinny rails or other attachment methods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a stabilizing device with anchor line and attachment mechanism is implemented, then the stability of the firearm is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilizing device is divided into separate functional modules: a housing unit, an anchor line, an attachment mechanism, and a spool mechanism. Each module performs a specific function and can be independently managed, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining stability effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The stabilizing device is designed with universal attachment capabilities that can be adapted to different firearm types and shooting conditions. The attachment mechanism can secure to various surfaces, and the device can be configured for different anchor points, making it versatile across multiple applications without requiring multiple specialized devices.
2Ease of operation
If an activation member is added to switch between locked and released positions, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The activation member is designed to be operated by the user's own actions during the shooting process. The mechanism allows the user to easily switch between locked and released positions through simple manual input, and the system automatically maintains the appropriate state without requiring complex controls or additional actuators.
3Reliability
If a spool mechanism is used for managing anchor line tension, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spool mechanism replaces more complex tension control systems with a simple rotational element that manages anchor line tension through basic mechanical rotation and winding. This substitution reduces complexity while maintaining reliable tension control through the inherent mechanical properties of the spool and anchor line interaction.

AI summary
A weapon stabilizing device for stabilizing a weapon during use. The device includes a spool member configured to release and retract an anchor line with rotation of the spool member. A lock member prevents rotation of the spool member in a locked position and allows rotation of the spool member in a released position. Actuation of an activation member switches the lock member from a default position to an activated position. The default position may be the locked position or the released position. When the default position is the locked position, the activated position is the released position. When the default position is the released position, the activated position is the locked position. A spool spring may provide continuous positive rotation of the spool member in the released position. The weapon stabilizing device may be connected to or within a base of a weapon.
