Lever Action Firearm Sling Mount with Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sling mount designs for lever action firearms do not efficiently secure to both the lever and barrel or butt of the gun, lacking a simple and economical solution.
Innovation Solution
A sling mount that clips to the lever of a lever action firearm using a sling member with a locking mechanism and fasteners, which secures to the barrel or butt, utilizing a strap assembly and materials like steel or polyester for durability and comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing sling mount designs are used, then the sling can be attached to the firearm, but the attachment is not secure to both the lever and barrel or butt simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The sling mount is divided into separate attachment components: one end attaches to the lever and the other end attaches to the barrel or butt. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each attachment point while maintaining overall simplicity of the mount structure.
2Reliability
If a secure attachment method is implemented, then the sling is firmly mounted, but the cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The sling mount utilizes the firearm's existing structural components (lever, barrel, or butt) as attachment points, requiring no additional modifications or expensive custom fittings. The mount attaches to these pre-existing features, making it inexpensive to manufacture while ensuring secure mounting.

AI summary
A sling mount for lever action firearm including a sling member which can be adapted to a lever action rifle member by a cocking arm. The sling member includes an attaching portion which is placed within the sling member to be adjusted to the cocking arm. The sling member includes apertures along a body thereof wherein two apertures enclose the attaching portion and another of the apertures passes through the sling member by a distal end thereof. The sling member is secured by a locking member which includes apertures configured to be concentrical with two apertures of the attaching member and a pair of fasteners passing through the apertures. A strap member includes a hook which can be adjusted to an aperture of the sling member and another distal end can be attached to another portion of a lever action rifle member thereby holding thereof by a user.
