Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a bracket kit that can be universally fitted to various types of gun buttstocks, including Magpul style, DPMS style, and conventional rifle and shotgun buttstocks, to securely and releasably mount a pistol holster, as existing solutions are not adaptable across different designs.

Innovation Solution

A bracket kit comprising a base plate with convex and concave surfaces, adjustable alignment plates, and straps that can be configured to fit different buttstock types, allowing secure and adjustable mounting of a pistol holster on either side of the buttstock, with specific strap configurations for each type of stock.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a bracket is designed to fit a specific type of buttstock, then the mounting security is improved, but the adaptability to different buttstock types deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemounting securityVSAvoidadaptability to different buttstock types

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket is designed with multiple configuration options including different strap lengths, adjustable alignment plates, and removable pads that can be configured to fit various buttstock types (Magpul, DPMS, conventional rifles, shotguns) while maintaining secure mounting through the same base plate and fastener system

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket kit is divided into separate modular components including the base plate, multiple strap options, alignment plates, and removable pads, allowing the user to select and configure only the necessary components for their specific buttstock type while maintaining a secure mount

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a bracket kit includes multiple components for universal fit, then the adaptability to different buttstock types is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadaptability to different buttstock typesVSAvoidnumber of components

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Certain components such as the alignment plates and removable pads are designed to be taken out or removed when not needed for the specific application, simplifying the overall configuration while maintaining adaptability to different buttstock types

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
