Abstract

A weapon rest for placing a weapon on includes a bar that is oriented horizontally. A plurality of mounts is releasably positioned on the bar in an upright position wherein a weapon is positionable across each of the mounts such that the weapon rest thereon.

Claims (20)

1. A gun mounting system configured for resting a weapon thereon, said system comprising:

a bar being oriented horizontally; and

a plurality of mounts being releasably positioned on said bar in an upright position, each of said mounts being configured to have a weapon rest thereon, each of said mounts including:

a bracket positioned on said bar, said bracket including a middle portion extending between a first outward portion and a second outward portion, said first outward portion and second outward portion being spaced apart from each other such that said bracket has a U-shape, said first outward portion and said second outward portion each having a distal end with respect to said middle portion, said bar being positioned between said first and second outward portions and adjacent to said middle portion, said first outward portion has a first aperture extending therethrough, said first aperture being positioned closer to said distal end of said first portion than said middle portion, said second outward portion having a second aperture extending therethrough, said second aperture being aligned with said first aperture;

a securing assembly being mounted on said bracket and releasably retaining said bracket at a selected position on said bar, said securing assembly including

a fastener being attached to said second outward portion, said fastener being aligned with said second aperture,

a threaded rod extending through said first and second apertures and being threadably coupled to said fastener, and

a knob being threadably coupled to said threaded rod, said bracket being positioned between said fastener and said knob, said knob being selectively rotatable in a first direction to bias said first outward portion toward said second outward portion such that said bracket frictionally engages said bar; and

a saddle being attached to said securing assembly and extending upwardly therefrom.

2. The gun mounting system according to claim 1 , wherein said bracket is comprised of a bendable material.

3. The gun mounting system according to claim 1 , wherein said saddle having a middle section extending between a first section and a second section, said first section and said second section being angle upwardly and outwardly away from said middle section to define a receiving space, said receiving space being configured to receive the weapon thereon, said saddle being oriented in an upright position when said bracket frictionally engages said bar.

4. A gun mounting system configured for resting a weapon thereon, said system comprising:

a bar being oriented horizontally;

a plurality of mounts being releasably positioned on said bar in an upright position, each of said mounts being configured to have a weapon rest thereon, each of said mounts comprising:

a bracket having a middle portion extending between a first outward portion and a second outward portion, said first outward portion and second outward portion being spaced apart from each other such that said bracket has a U-shape, said first outward portion and said second outward portion each having a distal end with respect to said middle portion, said bracket being comprised of a bendable material, said first outward portion having a first aperture extending therethrough, said first aperture being positioned closer to said distal end of said first portion than said middle portion, said second outward portion having a second aperture extending therethrough, said second aperture being aligned with said first aperture, said bar being positioned between said first and second outward portions and adjacent to said middle portion;

a securing assembly being mounted on said bracket and releasably retaining said bracket at a selected position on said bar, said securing assembly including:

a fastener being attached to said second outward portion, said fastener being aligned with said second aperture;

a threaded rod extending through said first and second apertures and being threadably coupled to said fastener;

a knob being threadably coupled to said threaded rod, said bracket being positioned between said fastener and said knob, said knob being selectively rotatable in a first direction to bias said first outward portion toward said second outward portion such that said bracket frictionally engages said bar; and

a saddle being attached to said securing assembly and extending upwardly therefrom, said saddle having a middle section extending between a first section and a second section, said first section and said second section being angle upwardly and outwardly away from said middle section to define a receiving space, said receiving space being configured to receive the weapon thereon, said saddle being oriented in an upright position when said bracket frictionally engages said bar.
