US12492880 - Accessory mount

Disclosed is an accessory mount configured for attachment to a rail interface system, such as the MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail. In particular, the accessory mount is a multi-position sliding mount that can be used to attach an accessory, such as a bipod or a tripod, to a handguard equipped with a compatible rail interface system. The accessory mount includes a spring-loaded push-button recoil lug that allows it to be quickly repositioned on a rail interface system. The accessory mount also includes an adjustment knob configured to facilitate attachment and removal without the need to slide the accessory mount on or off the end of the rail interface system. Additionally, the adjustment knob is configured to set sliding tension for the accessory mount and, if desired, to fix the accessory mount in position on the rail interface system.

The patent describes a multi-position accessory mount designed for attachment to rail interface systems like the Picatinny rail, featuring a spring-loaded push-button recoil lug and an adjustment knob for quick repositioning and secure attachment. This innovative design allows for easy adjustment of sliding tension and facilitates the attachment and removal of accessories without needing to slide the mount off the rail.
