Abstract

An apparatus and a system for a stabilization device are disclosed herein.

Claims (9)

1. A stabilization device comprising: a head unit; a cam plate coupled to the head unit, having a first track and a second track; a first leg top coupled to the head unit having a first pin to engage the first track; and a second leg top coupled to the head unit having a second pin to engage the second track, wherein the cam plate is coupled to the head unit in a manner to facilitate linear motion of the cam plate relative to the head unit, and wherein the cam plate further includes a third and a fourth track and the stabilization device further comprises: a third and a fourth pin coupled to the head unit and adapted to engage the third and fourth tracks of the cam plate, respectively, the third and fourth pins to facilitate the relative linear motion of the cam plate, and further comprising: a connecting link adapted to couple the cam plate to the head unit through the first and second tracks and further adapted to couple the first and second leg tops to the head unit in a manner to allow at least one of the first and second leg tops to rotate between a first and a second position.

2. The stabilization device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second tracks include a first path to facilitate the relative linear motion of the cam plate; and a second path to facilitate the transition of the at least one leg top between the first and second positions.

3. The stabilization device of claim 1 wherein the first and second tracks are substantially symmetrical.

4. The stabilization device of claim 1 , further comprising: a mount adapted to be coupled to a firearm, and further adapted to be coupled to the head unit in a manner to facilitate the head unit to be disposed in a first state or a second state.

5. The stabilization device of claim 4 , wherein the mount further comprises: a ball coupled to the head unit by a head pin in a manner to facilitate the head unit to transition between the first state and the second state.

6. A system comprising: a firearm; and a stabilization device coupled to the firearm, the stabilization device having a head unit; a cam plate coupled to the head unit, having a first track and a second track; a first leg top coupled to the head unit having a first pin to engage the first track; and a second leg top coupled to the head unit having a second pin to engage the second track, wherein the cam plate is coupled to the head unit in a manner to facilitate linear motion of the cam plate relative to the head unit, and wherein the cam plate further includes a third and a fourth track and the stabilization device further comprises: a third and a fourth pin coupled to the head unit and adapted to engage the third and fourth tracks of the cam plate, respectively, the third and fourth pins to facilitate the relative linear motion of the cam plate, and further comprising: a connecting link adapted to couple the cam plate to the head unit through the first and second tracks and further adapted to couple the first and second leg tops to the head unit in a manner to allow at least one of the first and second leg tops to rotate between a first and a second position.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the stabilization device further comprises: a mount coupled to the firearm and the head unit, the mount coupled to the head unit in a manner to facilitate the head unit to be disposed in a first state or a second state.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the mount further comprises: a ball coupled to the head unit by a head pin in a manner to facilitate the head unit to transition between the first state and the second state.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the firearm comprises a rifle or an air gun.
