Gun Carrying Vest Strap With Quick-Release Rifle Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gun carrying solutions, such as belts, straps, and backpacks, do not allow hunters to quickly and safely retrieve rifles from a haul position to a firing position, leading to excessive fatigue and missed shots due to complex hand and body movements, especially in environments like high cornfields or bushes.
Innovation Solution
A gun carrying strap system with a self-positioning stock basket in the vertical mid-plane of the wearer's body and quick-release clamps in the chest area, allowing the rifle to be easily transitioned from a haul to a firing position, distributing weight evenly across the shoulders.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate devices (GPS unit, camera, radio, heater, lighters, cell phone) are carried in pockets or gun holsters, then hunting functionality and safety are improved, but weight and bulk increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate hunting devices (GPS receiver, camera, radio, heater, lighters, cell phone, and other electronic devices) into a single integrated vest system. The controller unit integrates these devices and allows them to be worn in convenient locations on the hunter's body, eliminating the need to carry them in pockets or gun holsters.
Solution Approach 2:
The vest system serves multiple functions simultaneously - it provides navigation (GPS), communication (radio, cell phone), safety (heating, lighting), and utility (camera) functions all in one wearable system, making the vest a universal platform for hunting activities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate devices are carried in pockets or gun holsters, then hunting functionality is maintained, but accessibility and ease of use deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The vest system divides the wearable devices into separate functional modules (GPS receiver, camera, radio, heater, lighters, cell phone) that can be independently controlled and positioned in convenient locations on the hunter's body, allowing easy access to specific functions as needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller unit acts as an intermediary between the hunter and the multiple devices, providing centralized control and coordination. The controller enables the hunter to access and operate various devices through a unified interface, simplifying the user experience.
3Device complexity
If conventional vest designs are used, then basic carrying capacity is provided, but integration of multiple electronic devices and comfort are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The vest incorporates adjustable and adaptable features including adjustable suspenders, shoulder straps, and waistband to accommodate different body types and device configurations. The vest can be dynamically adjusted for optimal comfort and device positioning during hunting activities.
Solution Approach 2:
The vest provides different functional zones and pockets strategically positioned for specific devices, with each area optimized for its intended use. The design incorporates specialized compartments and mounting locations that accommodate the specific requirements of each electronic device while maintaining overall comfort.
