Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for mounting and dismounting lights and telescopic sights on guns require auxiliary tools, making the process inconvenient and difficult to perform without tools.
Innovation Solution
A holding fixture assembly with a rotatable rotation shaft and sliding slots allows for the manual installation and disconnection of lights and sights without tools, using elastic pieces for shock absorption and a knob for easy unlocking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional fixing structures are used to mount lights and telescopic sights on guns, then the devices can be securely fixed, but auxiliary tools such as screwdrivers and spanners are required for installation and disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The quick-release mechanism allows the user to install and disassemble the light or sight without any auxiliary tools. The bayonet-style coupling with retaining lugs engages automatically during insertion and can be released by manually actuating the release lever, making the system self-servicing.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing structure transitions from a static screwed connection to a dynamic bayonet-style coupling that can be quickly engaged and disengaged. The rotating motion of the bayonet coupling allows for rapid installation by simply twisting the device into place, and the release lever provides dynamic control over the retaining lugs.
2Productivity
If traditional screwed fixing structures are used, then secure mounting is achieved, but the process is time-consuming and requires tools
Solution Approach 1:
The bayonet coupling is designed with pre-positioned retaining lugs and guide surfaces that automatically align and engage when the device is inserted. The preliminary positioning features ensure that no adjustment or tool assistance is needed during the quick-attach process, maximizing installation speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system is segmented into distinct functional elements: the bayonet coupling interface, the retaining lugs, and the release lever. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, with the release lever independently controlling the disengagement of retaining lugs without affecting other parts of the system.
3Ease of operation
If manual quick-release mechanism is implemented, then tool-free operation is achieved, but the structural complexity of the holding fixture increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bayonet coupling mechanism serves multiple functions: it provides secure mechanical retention through interlocking retaining lugs, enables quick engagement through rotating coupling, and allows tool-free release via the lever actuation system. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components for each operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The release lever mechanism is nested within the bayonet coupling structure, with the lever actuating the retaining lugs from within the coupling interface. This nesting minimizes the external profile and overall structural complexity while maintaining full functionality of the quick-release mechanism.

AI summary
A holding fixture assembly for quick weapon-mounted light disconnection and installation comprises a main body holding piece and a rotation shaft, the rotation shaft is installed in the main body holding piece and is rotatable, at least one sliding slot is provided in the main body holding piece, and at least one axial plane is provided in the rotation shaft. In the present invention, without using any auxiliary tools, with only hands, lights and sights can be dismantled from or installed on weapons very quickly. When to install the lights and sights, it is only necessary to push the positioning sliding blocks on devices such as lights and sights in the sliding slots in the main body holding piece and the lights can be fixed; when to dismantle devices such as lights and sights, turn the knob with hand unlocking can be done without using any auxiliary tools.
