  • Patent number: 11441872
    Abstract: A novel and improved rotating stock butt and rotating sight apparatus that applies to a shoulder fired firearm where the firing mechanism and the sight apparatus is elevated above the stock butt when in a horizontal shooting position. This system comprises a cooperation between the rotating stock butt and the rotating sight apparatus that allows the firing mechanism and the barrel of the firearm to be off set to either the right or to the left of the stock butt while the sight of the rotating sight apparatus can be rotated and secured at the top center of the firearm barrel, allowing the shooter minimal head movement in the gun mount.

  • Patent number: 10591242
    Abstract: A novel and improved rotating stock butt and rotating sighting device that applies to a shoulder-fired firearm where the firing mechanism and the sighting device are elevated above the stock butt when in a horizontal shooting position. This system comprises a cooperation between the rotating stock butt and the rotating sighting device that allows the firing mechanism and the barrel to be off set to either the right or to the left of the stock butt while the rotating sighting device and sight bead remains on the top center of the firearm. This allows the shooter to mount the gun with very little head movement.

  • Publication number: 20190025001
    Abstract: A novel and improved rotating stock butt and rotating sighting device that applies to a shoulder-fired firearm where the firing mechanism and the sighting device are elevated above the stock butt when in a horizontal shooting position. This system comprises a cooperation between the rotating stock butt and the rotating sighting device that allows the firing mechanism and the barrel to be offset to either the right or to the left of the stock butt while the rotating sighting device and sight bead remains on the top center of the firearm. This allows the shooter to mount the gun with very little head movement.

  • Publication number: 20160252321
    Abstract: Chin Socket for a crossbow or firearm that extends rearward from firing mechanism. Rearward trailing end of stock comes in contact with user's shoulder when crossbow or firearm is in firing position. The stock does not come in contact with any part of user's head, jaw or cheek. Chin socket attaches to firing mechanism and has a central member that extends rearward and aligns centrally with firing mechanism and aligns vertically and centrally below sighting device. Rearward trailing end of chin socket comes along side chin; lateral member extends outward in front of and beneath chin forming a socket for chin. When mounting crossbow or firearm, only chin is placed in chin socket allowing the user's head to be perpendicular with sighting device and target, allowing for minimal head movement and quicker alignment of eye with sight with greater accuracy during the mounting of crossbow or firearm.

  • Publication number: 20160249600
    Abstract: The Hinging and Rotating Coupler Mechanism for Avian Spinning Wing Decoy invention comprises of a pivoting coupler mechanism that is attached to an elongated flexible rod and stake system that provides multi-directional motion for avian spinning wing decoy. The pivoting coupler mechanism, elongated flexible rod and stake system elevate the avian spinning wing decoy above the ground. Motion of the avian spinning wing decoy above the ground can be activated by either the wind or a pull string that can be attached to the upper portion of the flexible rod. This invention further comprises of an on/off switch that is located in the tail of the avian spinning wing decoy that can activated on or off by coming into contact with a firm surface such as the ground or elevated surface.

  • Patent number: 9395149
    Abstract: A mechanism, which may be integral with the gun parts and which permits the butt of a shouldered firearm, that either shoots shot or projectiles, to be pivoted about an axis, or which is integral to the gun parts whereby the stock butt is pivoted by design and fixed in place, or which may be manufactured as an after-market item, and which permits the butt of a shoulder-fired gun to be pivoted about a central point. This final design only applies to any shouldered firearm where firing mechanism, barrel, and sighting device are elevated above stock butt.
