Abstract: The weapon interface mounting device is designed to permit a secure interface between a Mil-Std 1913 or similar rail and a compatible component such as an optical device, bipod, or light source. It can be easily installed, requires no adjustment by the user, and will mate securely to rails that are out of specification or poorly manufactured. The weapon interface mounting device utilizes a constant force system that applies adequate pressure to positively secure any accessory or device despite being subject to rough treatment such as recoil shock from a host weapon. Unlike prior art devices, the weapon interface mounting device insures repeatability by utilizing a mechanical index system.

Abstract: A bipod operable for attachment to a bipod mounting plate having at least one transverse slot on a lower surface thereof, the upper surface of the bipod mounting plate including attachment means operable for attaching the mounting plate to a firearm or optical device. The bipod includes a bipod mounting bracket operable for rigidly and adjustably attaching the bipod to the bipod mounting plate. The bipod further includes a pair of telescopically extendable legs pivotally attached to the mounting bracket. The pivotal attachment means is operable for manually adjusting the angle of orientation of the legs with respect to the mounting bracket between zero degrees and a preset angle of less than 180 degrees and most preferably about 90 degrees. The pivotal attachment means further includes beveled detents that enable the silent locking of the legs into the desired angular orientation.
