Portable Support Mount with Intersecting Poles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing firearm rests lack portability and versatility in stabilizing firearms across varying angles and environments, limiting user control and accuracy during shooting.
Innovation Solution
A portable support mount comprising intersecting poles with flexible neoprene ends and guide/binder mechanisms that allow adjustable positioning, enabling the mount to stabilize firearms by forming multiple rest configurations and accommodating different firearm ends, while also being collapsible for easy storage and transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If traditional firearm rests are used, then stability is improved, but portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The firearm rest is divided into multiple detachable pole segments that can be assembled and disassembled. The first pair of poles and second pair of poles can be separated and stored independently, reducing portability issues while maintaining stability when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The pole assembly system allows dynamic adjustment of the rest configuration. The poles can be adjusted between different angles and positions to adapt to various shooting scenarios, providing stability when needed and ease of disassembly for portability when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If adjustable positioning systems are added, then versatility is improved, but device complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning system is segmented into simple connection points between poles, allowing adjustment without complex mechanisms. Each pole pair can be independently positioned and secured with simple binding elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The pole assembly incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities where the second pair of poles can be positioned at various angles relative to the first pair, enabling versatile positioning for different firearm types and shooting positions while maintaining simple assembly procedures.

AI summary
Described in an example embodiment herein is a portable support mount that can be employed as a firearms rest or as a mount for any other suitable device. The portable support mount comprises a first pair of poles intersecting to form a first rest while in a first configuration and a second pair of poles having first ends coupled with the first pair of legs. The opposite ends of the second pair of poles intersect to form a second rest while in the first configuration.
