Load Distribution Systems and Load Carrying Equipment
A load carrying and force distributing interface to be worn on a user's limb is described. The interface has one or more support members sized and dimensioned to fit around the user's limb, at least three elongated compression members circumferentially spaced apart and around the limb, and a sensor, an actuator, and a controller configured to dynamically adjust a compression level of at least one of the elongated compression members. The controller could also be configured to adjust one or more elongated compression members so as to compress the soft tissue of the limb against the bone structure to thereby reduce relative motion between the bone structure and the interface.
Gun sling swivel adapter
Described herein is an adapter for converting a single sling mount to dual-sling mount. The adapter comprises a body having a modified “H” configuration with two opposing legs joined to two outwardly extending arms. The two opposing legs each have a transverse bore linearly aligned with one another. Each outwardly extending arm also has a transverse bore. The resulting gun sling assembly allows one to carry the gun across one's back in a backpack fashion. An adapter having a modified “Y” configuration allows one to carry a military-style gun across one's back in a backpack fashion.
SLING SYSTEM USED TO CARRY AND CONCEAL A FIREARM
Disclosed is a sling system comprising a sling used to carry a firearm, a bag used to conceal the firearm attached to the sling, and a release device used to releasably attach the bag to the sling. In this way, a user can discreetly transport the firearm while maintaining the ability to rapidly deploy the firearm by simply detaching the bag concealing it.
Support structure for a weapons system
A support structure for a weapons system has a frame adapted for connection to a wearer, the frame having an elongated first portion defining a frame axis and adapted for positioning adjacent to the spine of the wearer, the frame having an upper end, a boom connected to the upper end of the frame and having a first boom portion extending away from the frame, and a second boom portion angled with respect to the first boom portion and extending away from the frame axis, the boom having a free end, a cable reel mechanism connected to the frame, a cable having a first end connected to the cable reel mechanism and a free end extending from the free end of the boom and adapted to connect to the weapons system, and the cable reel mechanism including a biasing facility to exert tension on the cable to provide support for the weapons system.
FIREARM SLING ATTACHMENT DEVICE
A firearm sling attachment device is presented. According to an embodiment, a sling attachment device comprises a quick detach receiver and a cord. The quick-detach receiver includes: a body elongated longitudinally along a first axis and having first and second ends oppositely positioned along the first axis; an open-faced, cylindrical cavity formed in the first end of the body and extending longitudinally along the first axis, the cavity including one or more recesses arranged circumferentially in a side wall of the cavity; and an opening formed laterally through the second end of the body along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. The cord is detachably affixed to the quick-detach receiver through the opening.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FLEXIBLY ADAPTING SWIVELS TO SLINGS
Systems and methods for coupling different types of firearm sling swivels to a variety of detachable slings are provided. In one embodiment, the sling adapter includes an adapter subassembly, a first loop channel, a second loop channel and a strap. The adapter subassembly includes a pin and an adapter body with a pin hole and a swivel hole. The pin is inserted into the pin hole of the adapter body. The swivel hole securely accommodates a detachable firearm's sling. The strap includes a first loop segment, a first pin segment, a second loop segment, a swivel segment, a third loop segment, a second pin segment and a fourth loop segment.
Hands-free support device, a subassembly of a hands-free support device and methods for operating the same
An assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a base portion and a selectively rotatable portion attached to the base portion. The base portion includes a first subassembly attached to a second subassembly. The first subassembly includes a housing that at least partially contains an actuator. The second subassembly includes a housing receiver that retains the housing. The selectively rotatable portion includes an indexing member attached to an implement carrier portion. The actuator of the base portion is selectively interfaced with the indexing member of the selectively rotatable portion in order to permit the selectively rotatable portion to be arranged relative the base portion in one of two orientations being a rotatably-locked orientation and a freely rotatable orientation.
Sling attachment device
A sling attachment device has a body having a strap facility adapted for attachment of a sling strap, a flexible elongated tether having a first end attached to the body, the tether having a free end opposite the first end, and the body defining a receptacle operable to receive the free end of the tether, such that the tether may be threaded through an aperture on a rifle and received by the receptacle to secure the strap to the rifle. The tether may have a selected first width along at least a portion of its length, and the free end may have a second width greater than the first width. A ball may be attached to the free end. The body may define a channel having a width larger than the first width and smaller than the second width. There may be an aperture adjacent to the channel.
Rifle carrier apparatus
A rifle carrying case secured to the front of a person, either by a harness with shoulder straps or by components to attach the case to the straps of the person's backpack, in a way that allows the person to travel hands free of the case and that allows the person to change the orientation of the case.
Gun holster system and method of use
A gun holster system includes a body having a front side and a back side forming an upper opening disposed therebetween and forming a lower opening at a lower surface of the body; a strap assembly integrally secured to the body; a first magnet disposed within a thickness of the fastener protrusion; and a second magnet disposed within a thickness of the housing. The strap assembly includes an elongated strap extending from the body; a fastener protrusion extending from a surface of the elongated strap; and a faster housing extending from an outer surface of the back side of the body.
