DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0016] The foregoing description is provided to enable any person skilled in the relevant art to install the scope mount on a Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun. Moreover, nothing disclosed herein is intended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether such disclosure is explicitly recited in the claims.

[0017] Embodiments of this disclosure relate generally to a scope mount, and more particularly, to a scope mount which is designed to be mounted to a Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun in order to attach an optic sight to this particular Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun.

[0018] The scope mount in this invention has a rectangular plate which may be made of metal or plastic.

[0019] The scope mount is designed to be mounted or attached to the top of a Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun in order for an optic sight to be attached to the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun.

[0020] A primary distinguishing feature of the scope mount is the channel on the front of the mount that enables the existing adjustable rear sight ramp of the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun to be used as the anchoring mechanism to anchor the front of the mount to the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun.

[0021] Turning now to the drawings, in which like reference characters indicate corresponding elements throughout the several views. With reference now to FIGS. 1 to 3, a top perspective view of a scope mount 10 of the present invention is shown. The scope mount 10 is a rectangular plate 20 with side grooves 40. The rectangular plate 20 has both an upper portion 11 and two lower portions 12 and 13.

[0022] The rectangular plate 20 has a substantially flat surface 30 with an edge that separates the lower front portion 12 from the upper back portion 11. The lower front portion 12 is created when a portion of the rectangular plate 20 is removed thereby forming the lower front portion 12 of the rectangular plate 20. The lower portion 12 of the plate has a bottom channel 24 or groove formed therein. The bottom channel 24 or groove does not go all the way through the rectangular plate 20.

[0023] The bottom channel 24 or groove in the lower front portion of the rectangular plate 20 extends into part of the upper front portion 11 of the rectangular plate 20. The lower front portion 12 of the rectangular plate 20 was created in order to allow the lower front portion 12 to slide under the existing adjustable rear sight 50 of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15.

[0024] Only the existing rear sight hardware 50 and 55 that the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 comes equipped with is needed to install the new scope mount. The Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 adjustable rear sight 50 uses a ramp 55 to allow a person to adjust the height of the rear sight. The scope mount 10 is designed with two channels. A top channel 22 that sits on top of the front of the rectangular plate 20 and a bottom channel 24 that is on the bottom of the rectangular plate 20, which begins where the top channel 22 ends, and is also perpendicular to the top channel 22 of the rectangular plate 20.

[0025] The top channel 22 cut in the top front of the rectangular plate 20 is designed to slide under both the adjustable rear sight 50 and elevation ramp 55 and allow the rear sight elevation ramp to act as one of two anchor points for the front of the rectangular plate 20. The bottom channel 24 is needed to allow the rectangular plate 20 to go over the ridge 60 which sits on top of and further back on the receiver 45 of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 and secured to the adjustable rear sight 50 and ramp 55. Therefore, the lower front 12 of the rectangular plate 20 is secured tightly to the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 through the use of the top channel 22 and bottom channel 24 on the rectangular plate 20.

[0026] On top of the back end of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun is a threadable formed opening 32 where the existing dual round head (Phillips slotted) screw 31 from the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 can be reinserted into the threadable formed opening 32 to attach the rectangular plate 20 to the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15.

[0027] The bottom channel 24 and the rear hole in the mount formed opening 32 have to match the exact distance between the ridge 60 and the threadable opening 42 on the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 in order for the rectangular plate 20 to be properly installed on the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15.

[0028] To install the new scope mount, a person unscrews and removes the rear screw 31 that is attached to the receiver 45 of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 and also removes the rear sight elevation ramp from the rear sight. The scope mount 10 is then attached to the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 by lifting the rear sight 50 sans ramp and then sliding the lower front end 12 of the rectangular plate 20 with the top channel 22 or groove facing up underneath the existing rear sight 50. The top channel 22 or groove on the lower front plate is designed to permit the reinsertion of the elevation ramp 55 into it and it acts as the anchor point for the lower front 12 portion of the mount. The elevation ramp 55 is inserted in its original position on the gun and serves as the secure anchor point for the front of the mount. The back of the new scope mount is then aligned over the receiver of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun so that the opening 32 as shown in FIG. 1 lines up with the threadable hole 42 on the receiver 45 of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 so that the original screw 31 can be used to attached the rectangular plate 20 to the receiver 45 of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15. A spacer 80 is then placed between the rectangular plate 20 and the receiver 45 over the threadable hole 42 in the receiver 45 and aligned with the hole 32 in the rectangular plate 20. The rear receiver screw 31 is then reinstalled through the rectangular plate 20, through the spacer 80, and into the threadable hole 42 in the receiver 45. Once the rear receiver screw 31 is tightened, the rectangular plate 20 is securely fastened to the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15.

[0029] Next, a commercially available telescopic sighting scope 70 can then be quickly and easily mounted to scope mount 10 by attaching it to rectangular plate 20. This is accomplished using the parts that come with a telescopic sighting scope includes screws 75 that are used to tighten the optic sight 70 to the rectangular plate 20 of scope mount 10.

[0030] Using adjustments provided as illustrated in the present invention, coarse windage and elevation adjustments might be made so as to bring final adjustments within the range of the windage and elevation adjustments incorporated into optic sight

[0031] FIG. 3 shows an optic sight 70 mounted on the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 using the scope mount 10. Optic sights 70 are sold separate from the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15 and come with its own screws 75 which are used to attach the optic sight to the scope mount 10 by attaching it to the grooves 40.

[0032] The scope mount 10 can also be made using three separate plates to look identical to the one plate version. This is done by welding the upper top plate 11 to the bottom front plate 12 and bottom back plate 13 to create the side grooves 40. When using three separate plates the upper plate 11 will have a channel or groove that goes all the way through the upper plate. The front bottom plate will have the same channel or groove and will align with the channel or groove of the top plate. The top plate 11 will have the hole 32, which in one embodiment is threadable, that will extend through the bottom rear plate 13 for insertion of the screw 31 from the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun 15.

[0033] The groove or bottom channel 24 on rectangular plate 20 and threadable hole 32 are made to align to the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun's ridge 60 and the threadable hole 42 on the receiver of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun. That distance is four and five/sixteenth's inches.

[0034] The lower front portion 12 of the rectangular plate 20 can be made to be a minimum of one and three quarters inches long and no longer than two and one half inches. In the preferred embodiment, the length of the lower front portion 12 is two inches long.

[0035] While the scope mount 10 may be made on one plate or three plates, it should be understood that the rear lower plate can be split up into two separate plates so that there could be three plates.

[0036] In the preferred embodiment, the upper plate 11 is five and one half inches long.

[0037] In the preferred embodiment, the length of the rectangular plate from the front of the lower plate 12 to the end of the bottom back plate 13 is seven inches long.

[0038] While we have shown and described the embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention
