Universal Riflescope Mount Transferable Zeroing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing telescopic sight mounts for handguns require re-adjustment and loss of precision when transferred between different weapons, as they are typically designed as one-piece base rails that cannot maintain alignment and settings across multiple firearms.
Innovation Solution
A two-part base rail system with a counterplate firmly attached to the weapon and an adjustable adjustment plate in at least two perpendicular planes, allowing the telescopic sight to be detachably mounted without losing precision when switched between weapons, ensuring consistent alignment and zeroing across multiple firearms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a one-piece base rail is used for mounting the telescopic sight, then the mounting structure is simple and robust, but the telescopic sight cannot be transferred between weapons without re-adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The base rail is divided into two separate parts: a weapon-side base rail that remains on the weapon and a sight-side mounting rail that attaches to the telescopic sight. This segmentation allows the mounting rail to be transferred with the sight between weapons while the base rail stays fixed on each weapon, enabling transferability without requiring complex adjustable mechanisms on the weapon side.
2Measurement precision
If the telescopic sight is adjusted on the adjustment device, then the sight can be zeroed in for a specific weapon, but the adjustment settings are lost when transferred to another weapon
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment device is separated from the weapon-mounted base rail and integrated with the transferable mounting rail. This allows adjustment settings to be maintained on the mounting rail itself, which travels with the telescopic sight, enabling precise sighting settings to be preserved when transferring between weapons.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting rail creates a repeatable geometric reference frame that copies the alignment relationship between the telescopic sight and the weapon. By maintaining consistent geometric relationships through precise manufacturing of the mounting features, the sighting precision is reproduced when the assembly is transferred to another weapon with a matching base rail.
3Reliability
If the telescopic sight is firmly attached to the weapon, then the alignment is stable, but the sight cannot be easily transferred to another weapon
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into a fixed weapon-side base rail and a transferable sight-side mounting rail with detachable connections. This allows the mounting rail to be easily detached and transferred between weapons while maintaining firm, stable attachment when mounted, achieving both reliability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting connection transitions from a static permanent attachment to a dynamic system that can be easily detached and reattached. The detachable mounting features allow the sight assembly to be firmly secured during use while enabling quick removal and transfer to another weapon when needed.

AI summary
The invention relates to a riflescope mount for hand-held weapons, comprising at least one base rail (10) which is fixed to a weapon (23a, 23b, 23c) and which is detachably connected to at least one fixing means connected to the riflescope (4a, 4b, 4c), wherein the base rail (10) that is mounted on the weapon (23a, 23b, 23c) comprises at least a mating plate (12, 12a) mounted on the weapon side or mounting elements on the weapon side, which is/are connected to the weapon (23a, 23b, 23c), and an adjusting plate (11, 11a) which is held on the mating plate (12, 12a) or the mounting elements such that the adjusting plate (11, 11 a) can be adjusted in at least two mutually perpendicular planes, and on which the riflescope (4a, 4b, 4c) is detachably fixed via a receiving rail (7) or other mounting elements on the riflescope side, wherein, on the upper side of the adjusting plate (11, 11a) there is formed a separating plane (17), in the area of which the riflescope (4a, 4b, 4c), together with the receiving rail (7) thereof or other mounting elements on the riflescope side, can be removed from the weapon (23a, 23b, 23c) and transferred to another weapon (23a, 23b, 23c), wherein the receiving rail (7) to be mounted on the adjusting plate (11, 11a) or other mounting elements on the riflescope side is/are fixed detachably on the adjusting plate (11, 11a) by using fixing elements, and the association between the adjustment of the adjusting plate (11, 11a) and the mating plate (12, 12a) always firmly connected on the weapon side remains the same for said weapon and the other weapon (23a, 23b, 23c) and the associated riflescope (4a, 4b, 4c).
