Firearm Stabilizing Device with Latch Bolt Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing firearm stabilizing accessories do not effectively provide a compact, easily deployable, and stable support system for handguns that enhances accuracy and ease of use while maintaining a compact form factor.
Innovation Solution
A firearm stabilizing device with a stem interface, fork end joints, and a latch bolt mechanism that allows for secure locking and easy deployment, comprising a firearm interface with a stem, fork end, and latch bolt nut, enabling the handgun to be positioned for enhanced accuracy and compact storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a stabilizing accessory is added to provide support and enhance accuracy, then accuracy and stability are improved, but device complexity and size increase
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilizing accessory is designed to nest within or attach compactly to the firearm structure, with components such as the fork end joint and latch mechanism allowing compact storage while providing full stabilizing functionality when deployed
Solution Approach 2:
The stabilizing accessory is divided into modular components including a stem, fork end with superior and inferior tines, and separate latch bolts, allowing for compact assembly and disassembly while maintaining structural integrity and stabilizing function
2Volume of moving object
If a stabilizing accessory is designed to be compact for storage, then device size is reduced, but ease of deployment and stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilizing accessory incorporates movable and adjustable components including the fork end joint that can rotate and the latch bolts that can be engaged or disengaged, allowing the device to transition between a compact stored configuration and a deployed stabilizing configuration with ease
Solution Approach 2:
The latch bolt mechanism is designed to be easily engaged and disengaged by the user without requiring tools or complex procedures, allowing for quick deployment and storage while maintaining secure attachment during use
