Abstract

A holder for weapons that include a barrel with a through opening and a trigger guard. A main late assembly has a perpendicularly extending fixed base portion at one end and a movable base portion slidably mounted thereon to accommodate barrels of different dimensions. A pin receivable within the through opening is rigidly and perpendicularly mounted on the movable base portion. A pivotally mounted trigger guide assembly partially houses the trigger guard and, with the pin, supports the weapon when the holder is mounted to a flat surface.

Claims

1. A holder for a weapon having a barrel with a through opening and a trigger guard, and said holder to be mounted on a flat surface, comprising:

A) a main plate assembly having first and second sides, and including fastening means for affixing said first side to said flat surface, said main plate assembly having a substantially rectangular projected shape with two ends;

B) a fixed base portion perpendicularly mounted to one of said ends;

C) a movable base portion having an upper side and being slidably mounted over said fixed base portion and further including a pin member rigidly and perpendicularly mounted thereon and said pin member being receivable within said through opening; and

D) a trigger guide assembly having a first plate member pivotally mounted to said main plate assembly, and said first plate member having a spacer plate having an inner side and said spacer plate being perpendicularly mounted to said first plate and a guiding plate member perpendicularly mounted to said spacer plate so that said trigger guard is receivable within said guiding plate and said first plate.

2. The holder set forth in claim 1 wherein said first plate is snugly pivotally mounted to said main plate assembly so that said first plate stays in place unless moved by a predetermined amount of force.

3. The holder set forth in claim 2 wherein said first plate includes a first slot at a spaced apart portion with respect to the pivoting point of said first plate and said main plate assembly includes a perpendicularly mounted headed pin in snugly guiding combination with said first slot.

4. The holder set forth in claim 3 wherein said fixed base portion includes a second slot perpendicularly extending from said main plate assembly and said movable base portion including a second headed pin in guiding cooperation combination with said second slot.

5. The holder set forth in claim 4 wherein said fixed base portion includes a third slot perpendicularly extending from said main plate assembly and at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to said second slot, and said movable base portion including a third headed pin in guiding cooperation combination with said third slot.

6. The holder set forth in claim 5 wherein said upper side is covered with soft material.

7. The holder set forth in claim 5 wherein said first side is covered with a soft material.

8. The holder set forth in claim 5 wherein said inner side is covered with a soft material.

9. The holder set forth in claim 5 wherein said fastening means includes removable pressure sensitive male and female loop and hook members for removably mounting said holder to said flat surface.

10. The holder set forth in claim 5 wherein said fastening means includes at least one screw member.

11. The holder set forth in claim 5 wherein said fastening means includes pressure sensitive adhesive means.
