Rail arrangement for firearm

Abstract

A rail arrangement, which is adapted for mounting one or more accessories on a frame portion of a firearm, includes a supporting frame for attaching to the frame portion of the firearm along a longitudinal axis thereof and a rail system. The supporting frame includes a top mounting rail arranged for longitudinally extending on the frame portion, and two angled mounting rails inclinedly and sidewardly extended from the top mounting rail. The rail system includes one or more mounting structures providing of the top mounting rail and two angled mounting rails of the supporting frame for detachably mounting the accessory at one of the top mounting rail and the angled mounting rails of the supporting frame so as to selectively adjust a position of the accessory with respect to the firearm.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a firearm, and more particularly to a rail arrangement for a firearm, wherein the rail arrangement provides a plurality of rail surfaces extending longitudinally for the accessory selectively mounting thereat so as to enhance the practical use of the accessory.[0003]2. Description of Related Arts[0004]A conventional firearm generally comprises a firing assembly which includes a barrel and a butt stock extended from a rear end of the firing assembly. For a long gun, such as rifle, the butt stock is adjacent to the shooter's shoulder during firing. Firearm tools or implements, such as an aiming sight for assisting aim by guiding the eye of the shooter to the target, are provided to mount on top of the firing assembly.[0005]Accordingly, the firearm further comprises a mounting rail longitudinally formed a top surface of the firing assembly, wherein the firearm tool is detachably mounted...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]A main object of the present invention is to provide a rail arrangement for a firearm, wherein the rail arrangement provides a plurality of rail surfaces extending longitudinally for the accessory selectively mounting thereat so as to enhance the practical use of the accessory.

[0009]Another object of the present invention is to provide a rail arrangement for a firearm, wherein the rail arrangement comprises two or more angled rails for the firearm accessories detachably and selectively mounting thereto such that the accessory, such as an aiming sight, is slantedly supported on the firearm for the shooter to aim the target so as to minimize the uncover position.

[0010]Another object of the present invention is to provide a rail arrangement for a firearm, wherein the shooter is able to selectively mount the firearm accessory, especially for the aiming sight, at one of the angled rails such that both left-hand shooter and right-hand shooter are able to select the position of the aiming sight to shoot from a cover position in an aimed manner.

[0011]Another object of the present invention is to provide a rail arrangement for a firearm, wherein the supporting frame of the rail arrangement has a hexagonal cross section defining a bottom mounting side mounting to the firearm, a top rail, two upper angled rails and two lower angled rails for the firearm accessory selectively mounting thereto such that the shooter is able to precisely aim the target by selectively adjusting the position of the accessory with respect to the rail arrangement.

[0012]Another object of the present invention is to provide a rail arrangement for a firearm, which does not require to alter the original structural design of the firearm, so as to minimize the manufacturing cost of the firearm incorporating with the rail arrangement.

[0013]Another object of the present invention is to provide a rail arrangement for a firearm, wherein no expensive or complicated structure is required to employ in the present invention in order to achieve the above mentioned objects. Therefore, the present invention successfully provides an economic and efficient solution for providing a multiple angle section for mounting the accessory. For example, when the aiming sight is used, the present invention provides a solution for providing a multiple-aiming angle selection for the shooter but also minimizing the uncovered position in an aimed manner during firing.

Problems solved by technology

However, such configuration of the mounting rail to mount the firearm tool on the firearm has a major drawback.

In other words, in order to fire in a cover position, the shooter may not precisely aim the target through the aiming sight which may reduce the shooting accuracy, waste the ammunition, and even loss his or her life.

In addition, other firearm tools, such as a long-range telescope sight, a short-range telescope sight, a laser sight, a handgrip, a sling adapter, or a flash light, cannot be effectively mounted at the firing assembly at the same time via the mounting rail.
