Abstract

A mounting bracket for a scope of a gun is disclosed. The mounting bracket is used to mount night scopes or telescopic scopes onto the barrel of a gun rapidly. The bracket comprises a seat body having a securing jaw, an actuating jaw and a triggering block, and the actuating jaw is pivotally mounted at the seat body and, together with the securing jaw, correspondingly grips the barrel of the gun. Further, the triggering block is pivotally mounted at the seat body, and the triggering block correspondingly urges or releases the actuating jaw. The user can rapidly disassemble the mounting bracket and the barrel of the gun. The direction of action of the triggering block is perpendicularly intersected with the vibration direction of the barrel and therefore the mounting bracket will not be dislocated in the course of shooting.

Claims

1. Amounting bracket for a scope of a gun for gripping onto the sliding rail of the barrel of the gun, having a seat body, an actuating jaw and a triggering block, characterized in that the top face of the seat body is a securing seat for mounting scopes, and one side of the seat body is downwardly extended to a securing jaw and the inner face of the securing jaw is a notch corresponding to the sliding rail, and the seat body at the opposite side of the securing jaw is a circular pivotal path which can be pivotally mounted with an actuating jaw, and the top edge of the seat body is protrudingly extended to form an inverted L-shaped suspension lug and the triggering block is pivotally positioned between two suspension lugs;

the actuating jaw corresponding to the inner face at one side of the securing jaw is provided with a notch and the top edge of the actuating jaw is a pivotal rail which can pass through the pivotal path, and the external side face of the actuating jaw is an urging face for stopping the triggering block; and

the top edge of the triggering block having an inverted L-shaped body is an urging block corresponding to the actuating jaw, the urging block of the triggering block is pivotally mounted at the suspension lug of the seat body and the distance between the end face of the urging block to the pivot point center is longer than the distance from the top face to the pivot point center and the triggering block can tightly urge or release the actuating jaw.

2. The mounting bracket for a scope according to claim 1, wherein the sliding rail of the barrel is a series of positioning slots and the middle section of the securing jaw of the seat body is a through hole corresponding to the positioning slot of the sliding rail and the through hole can hold a positioning rod so that the mounting bracket can engage at the sliding rail.

3. The mounting bracket for a scope according to claim 1, wherein the securing jaw of the seat body is a plurality of cavities corresponding to the actuating jaw and the top portion of the notch is a push top face corresponding to the cavities, and the cavities are mounted with elastic which can urge the top face and allows the actuating jaw to be released when the triggering block is opened.

4. The mounting bracket for scope according to claim 1, wherein the suspension lug of the seat body is formed with corresponding holes and the middle section of the urging block is a pivotal hole so that the pivotal rod can pivotally mount the trigger block between two suspension lugs.

5. The mounting bracket for scope according to claim 1, wherein the interior of the notch of the actuating jaw is provided with a corresponding notch-shaped pad to enhance gripping force.
