Accessory mount for machine gun spade grip

1. An accessory mount for a firearm spade grip, the accessory mount comprising:

a bridge member having a top and a bottom, the top of the bridge member includes a mounting interface and the bottom of the bridge member includes a cutout adapted to receive a portion of the firearm spade grip therein;

a clamp member removably attached to the bottom of the bridge member;

an actuator arm having a base and a distal end, the base of the actuator arm is attached to the top of the bridge member; and

a paddle actuator rotatably connected to the distal end of the actuator arm.

2. The accessory mount of claim 1 , further comprising a control device, the control device is attached to the mounting interface on the top of the bridge member.

3. The accessory mount of claim 2 , wherein the actuator arm positions the paddle actuator above the control device, and the paddle actuator is configured to actuate the control device when pressed down.

4. The accessory mount of claim 3 , further comprising a contact protuberance extending from a bottom face of the paddle actuator, the contact protuberance is positioned to actuate the control device when the paddle actuator is pressed down.

5. The accessory mount of claim 1 , further comprising:

an accessory adapter attached to the mounting interface on the top of the bridge member; and

a control device, configured to operate at least one weapon-mounted electrical accessory, attached to the accessory adapter.

6. The accessory mount of claim 5 , wherein the actuator arm positions the paddle actuator above the control device, and the paddle actuator is configured to actuate the control device when pressed down.

7. The accessory mount of claim 6 , further comprising a contact protuberance extending from a bottom face of the paddle actuator, the contact protuberance is positioned to actuate the control device when the paddle actuator is pressed down.

8. The accessory mount of claim 1 , further comprising a cross-bolt safety axially displaceable between an active position, whereby rotational movement of the paddle actuator is prevented, and an inactive position.

9. An accessory mount for a firearm spade grip, the accessory mount comprising:

a bridge member having a top and a bottom, the top of the bridge member includes three mounting interfaces and the bottom of the bridge member includes a cutout adapted to receive a portion of the firearm spade grip therein;

a clamp member removably attached to the bottom of the bridge member;

an actuator arm having a base and a distal end, the base of the actuator arm is attached to one of the three mounting interfaces on the top of the bridge member; and

a paddle actuator rotatably connected to the distal end of the actuator arm.

10. The accessory mount of claim 9 , further comprising two control devices, each of the two control devices is attached to one of the three mounting interfaces on the top of the bridge member.

11. The accessory mount of claim 10 , wherein the actuator arm positions the paddle actuator above the two control devices, and the paddle actuator is configured to actuate the two control devices when pressed down.

12. The accessory mount of claim 11 , further comprising two contact protuberances extending from a bottom face of the paddle actuator, the two contacts protuberances are positioned to actuate the two control devices when the paddle actuator is pressed down.

13. The accessory mount of claim 9 , further comprising two accessory adapters, each of the two accessory adapters is attached to one of the three mounting interfaces on the top of the bridge member.

14. The accessory mount of claim 13 , wherein the actuator arm positions the paddle actuator above the two accessory adapters.

15. The accessory mount of claim 14 , further comprising two contact protuberances extending from a bottom face of the paddle actuator.

16. The accessory mount of claim 9 , further comprising a cross-bolt safety axially displaceable between an active position, whereby rotational movement of the paddle actuator is prevented, and an inactive position.

17. An accessory mount for a firearm spade grip, the accessory mount comprising:

a bridge member having a top and a bottom, the top of the bridge member includes a mounting interface and the bottom of the bridge member includes a cutout adapted to receive a portion of the firearm spade grip therein;

a clamp member removably attached to the bottom of the bridge member;

an actuator arm having a base and a distal end, the base of the actuator arm is attached to the top of the bridge member;

a paddle actuator rotatably connected to the distal end of the actuator arm;

a control device configured to operate at least one weapon-mounted electrical accessory, the control device is attached to the mounting interface on the top of the bridge member; and

a cross-bolt safety axially displaceable between an active position, whereby rotational movement of the paddle actuator is prevented, and an inactive position.

18. The accessory mount of claim 17 , wherein the actuator arm positions the paddle actuator above the control device, and the paddle actuator is configured to actuate the control device when pressed down.

19. The accessory mount of claim 18 , further comprising a contact protuberance extending from a bottom face of the paddle actuator, the contact protuberance is positioned to actuate the control device when the paddle actuator is pressed down.
