Fast mounting device for multiple slot interfaces
Devices, assemblies, systems, and methods for providing a quick and easy accessory mounting device for mounting to a multiple slot interface, such as a multiple slot rail on a firearm. The mounting device/assembly allows for firearm accessories such as foregrips, bipods, scopes lights, bayonets, and the like, can be easily interchangeably attached to the multiple slot interface on the firearm. A wedge member having two wedge legs can be activated to move below the device/assembly and attach to a pair of slots in the multiple slot rail on the firearm. A torque screw can be also used to lock the wedge legs in place.

a threaded socket; and
a screw member for being screwed into the threaded socket, wherein the screw member when tightened down in to the threaded socket locks the two wedge legs of the double wedged member in a locked position against the exterior surface portion of the multiple slot interface on the firearm, to prevent the mounting device from being dislodged from the multiple slot interface on the firearm.
12 . A mounting device for a multiple slot interface on a firearm, the device comprising:
a wedge housing with a double wedge member, the wedge housing attached to a firearm accessory, wherein two wedge members attaches the firearm accessory to multiple slot rails on a firearm,
wherein the double wedge member includes a first wedge and a second wedge that are both along one plane, and align in one direction, wherein the wedge housing includes:
a pair of longitudinal channels; and
a pair of coil springs in the pair of channels, wherein pushing against a button surface on a rear end of the double wedge member causes a first wedge leg and a second wedge leg to extend below the wedge housing, and releasing the button surface on the rear end of the wedge member causes the first wedge leg and the second wedge leg to move sideways in one horizontal direction, and retract into the wedge housing, until the wedge housing become fixed against an exterior surface portion of a multiple slot interface on the firearm,
wherein the wedge housing further comprises:
a pair of spring pins each passing through a first angled slot and a second angled slot, for guiding the direction of the double wedge member, wherein the first angled slot and the second angled slot include an angle of approximately 20 degrees.
