  • Patent number: 9851180
    Abstract: A locking mechanism for a firearm accessory that is meant to be attached to the rail system of a firearm such as a pistol. The locking mechanism features a locking screw that can either be a set screw or a jam socket screw that is advanced within a bore housed by the device until the screw contacts and raises a platform featuring a protrusion configured to engage with a rail system on a firearm frame. The device can also feature a spring located between the locking screw and the platform that can be used to keep tension on the platform. In addition, the device can feature a thumbscrew that is used to advance the locking screw within the device's bore. The locking device is attached to the firearm and screwed into place, but has to be removed through the use of a separate tool.

  • Publication number: 20160146572
    Abstract: A system for attaching and stabilizing a gun attachment accessory to the frame of a firearm in which the firearm frame has two parallel lateral rails running longitudinally along the length of the firearm frame and a one groove in the bottom of the firearm barrel frame positioned between and perpendicular to the lateral rails. A gun attachment accessory mounted to the frame via the lateral rails features a protrusion located on the upper surface of an accessory that is equipped with means to extend the protrusion such that it engages with the groove in the bottom of the firearm frame. The means to extend the protrusion such that it engages with the groove include a thumb screw possibly equipped with a compression spring, threaded through a bore such that the turning of the screw raises or lowers a platform featuring the protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20150143734
    Abstract: An improved artificial accessory device for mounting on to a gun rail integration system of a weapon having a weighted housing, a thumb screw positioned on a bottom portion of the improved light structure, a threaded hole through which the thumb screw passes through into a small platform, a recoil groove for receiving gun recoil, a track for receiving the gun recoil and a pair of track extending members designed to allow gun trigger housing to fit in between. The thumb screw is designed to be tightened to engage the improved artificial accessory device with a bottom portion of the gun recoil. Specifically, the thumb screw when turned drives a small platform, that can be spring loaded and featuring a raised ridge, upward into a position flush with the bottom of the gun recoil and fitting the ridge within a counterpart recess in the bottom of the gun recoil.
