Abstract

A stabilizing mechanism for use with weapons comprising a strut assembly apparatus and a means to removably connect one end of the strut assembly apparatus to the barrel of the weapon and the other end to a fixed location.

Claims

1. A stabilizing mechanism for use with weapons comprising a strut assembly apparatus and a means to removably connect one end of the strut assembly apparatus to the barrel of the weapon and the other end to a fixed location.

2. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 1 wherein the means to removably connect one end of said strut assembly apparatus to the barrel of the weapon and the other end to a fixed location comprises a chain and a tie down strap.

3. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 2 wherein the tie down strap comprises a cable of sufficient length to fit through the barrel of the weapon.

4. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 3 wherein wire loops are attached to the ends of the tie down strap

5. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 4 wherein the wire loops are attached to each other through a circular attachment means.

6. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 5 wherein the circular attachment means is a wire clip.

7. A stabilizing mechanism for use with weapons comprising a strut assembly apparatus and a means to removably connect one end of the strut assembly apparatus to the barrel of the weapon and the other end to a fixed location.

8. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 7 further comprising a means to pivotally attach said apparatus to the side of a vehicle.

9. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 8 wherein the strut assembly apparatus further comprises at least one guide rod, an adjusting rod, a base plate, a mechanical spring, a top spacer plate and a bottom spacer plate.

10. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 8 wherein the strut assembly apparatus comprises at least two guide rods.

11. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 10 wherein the adjusting rod is connected at one end to the base plate and at the other end extends through the top spacer plate sufficient enough to allow a connection to the chain.

12. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 11 wherein the two guide rods are permanently attached parallel to each other, to the top and bottom spacer plates.

13. A stabilizing mechanism for use with weapons comprising a strut assembly apparatus and a means to removably connect one end of the strut assembly apparatus to the barrel of the weapon and the other end to a fixed location.

14. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 13 further comprising a means to pivotally attach said apparatus to the side of a vehicle.

15. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 14 wherein the means to pivotally attach said apparatus to the side of a vehicle comprises a vehicle attachment plate, a spacer rod, a strut assembly plate, and a bottom spacer plate.

16. The stabilizing mechanism of claim 15 wherein the vehicle attachment plate is attached to one end of the spacer rod and the other end of the spacer rod is attached to the bottom spacer plate.
