Abstract: A bicycle handlebar accessory (or bicycle pod) 20 is disclosed which may be secured in a bicycle handlebar tube 24 and arranged into a deployed configuration 500. A host bicycle 10 with a pair of bicycle pods 20 secured in opposite ends of the handlebar tube 24 may be inverted for inspection or repairs while the bicycle pods 20 stabilize the inverted bicycle and keep the handlebar 24 (and any accessories mounted thereon) spaced from the ground 26 and away from potentially hazardous materials and conditions, including water, ice, frozen or super-heated pavement, sand, gravel, or other surface hazards such as road salt or deicing chemicals. The disclosed bicycle pod 20 may include a main body 28, a distal shaft 30, a proximal shaft 32, and a coil spring 34.

Abstract: A variably selectable surface interface (VSSI) for the leg of a small arms bipod is disclosed. The VSSI may include a modular anchor 26. The modular anchor may include a body 40 and a distal support member 24 pivotably connected to the body. The distal support member may include an articulating surface interface (ASI) 42 and a control mechanism 44 for selectively fixing the ASI with respect to the body. The control mechanism may include a disperse load-bearing configuration 120 such that the VSSI is arranged with respect to the body to form a disperse load-bearing support (e.g., a claw-shaped support). Also, the control mechanism may include a point force load bearing configuration 140 such that the VSSI is arranged with the body to form a point force load bearing support (e.g., a spike-shaped support).

Abstract: A stock (28) for a small arms weapon is disclosed. The stock may include a recoil reduction system (40). The recoil reduction system (4) may include a drive assembly (46) and a recoil force storage apparatus (48). The drive assembly (46) may include a latch bolt (44), a pin carrier (50) and a drive link (52). The recoil force storage apparatus may include a rocker (or lever arm) (54) and a recoil force storage device (56). The recoil force storage device may include a strut assembly (222). The strut assembly may include a coil spring (228). The recoil force reduction system may include three selectable operational modes. Each operational mode may provide a different level of recoil reduction (e.g., high, medium, and low).

Abstract: A stock for a gun is disclosed which includes a butt stock body (12). The butt stock body may include a butt plate receptacle (108). The stock further may include a butt plate assembly (20) positioned in the butt plate receptacle (108), a cheek piece (18) releasably secured to the butt stock body (12) and the butt plate assembly (20), and a clamp (30). The stock may include first and second configurations such that in the first configuration the clamp permits independent movement of the butt plate assembly (20) and the cheek piece (18), and in the second configuration the clamp fixes movement of the butt plate assembly and the cheek piece relative to the butt stock body. The clamp (30) may be assembled within the stock body (12) to provide for variable adjustment of the butt stock with a dominant hand on the firearm grip.

Abstract: A firearm stabilizing accessory 16 is disclosed which may include a firearm interface 24, a distal joint 26, and a proximal joint 28. The firearm stabilizing accessory 16 may further include an arm 30 disposed between the distal joint 26 and the proximal joint 28. The proximal joint 28 may connect a boom 32 to the arm 30. The boom 32 may further include a brace 34 and a handle 36. The handle 36 may further include a surface 40 which may serve as a cheek weld for an operator of a handgun 12 which may be secured to the firearm interface 24.
