Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing telescopic sight mounting systems on Picatinny rails require complex and time-consuming assembly processes, with movable components and additional safety systems needed to manage recoil, making them difficult to use efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A telescopic sight mounting system featuring a self-adjusting lever that can be locked with finger pressure, allowing for quick mounting and secure attachment to a Picatinny rail without additional tools, utilizing a locking lever mechanism that self-secures and provides audible and tactile feedback for precise adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If clamping screws are used to fasten telescopic sight rings to the Picatinny rail, then secure attachment is achieved, but the assembly process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The locking lever is designed to automatically secure the telescopic sight to the Picatinny rail through its own movement and positioning, eliminating the need for separate clamping screws or additional fastening operations. The lever's geometry and interaction with the rail create self-locking engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention removes the clamping screws from the assembly process entirely, extracting the unnecessary fastening components and operations while retaining secure attachment through the simplified locking lever mechanism.
2Reliability
If additional safety systems are added to manage recoil forces, then recoil management is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking lever serves multiple functions simultaneously: it secures the telescopic sight to the rail, manages recoil forces through its positioning, and provides a simple operating interface. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate safety systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the locking mechanism and recoil management functions into a single integrated locking lever system, combining previously separate functions into one unified component that handles both attachment security and recoil absorption.
3Adaptability or versatility
If components are positioned to be movable fore and aft for adjustment, then adaptability is improved, but the locking mechanism requires additional safety systems
Solution Approach 1:
The locking lever is designed to be movable during the locking process, allowing the user to position it for engagement and then secure it in place. This dynamic design provides adjustability while maintaining a simple locking mechanism without additional safety systems.
