Quick release mounting device for M-LOK handguard of rifle
View Patent ↗The mounting device includes keys or pressing element, a movable fastener, a positioning bar and elastic elements, which are assembled in a receiving room of a base. The base is formed with an island type engagement portion having a shape corresponding to a slot of an M-LOK rail. The keys or pressing element is transversely movable in the receiving room. The movable fastener is longitudinally movable in the receiving room and has a latch bar projecting to a bottom of the island type engagement portion. The keys or pressing element and the movable fastener are provided with a driving slant and a driven slant, respectively. A slidable planar contact is formed between the driving slant and the driven slant by means of both the driven slant being shifted by pushing the driving slant and elasticity of the elastic elements. Pressing the keys or pressing element drives the latch bar to make a longitudinally to-and-fro shift.
1. A quick release mounting device for a firearm rail, comprising a pressing element, movable fasteners, a positioning bar, and elastic elements coupled to the pressing elements, the pressing element, movable fasteners, positioning bar and elastic elements being positioned within a receiving room of a base, a cover fixed to the base by connecting elements to form an integrated body, a bottom of the base is formed with a protruding engagement portion having a shape corresponding to a slot of a firearm rail, the pressing element is mounted within the receiving room for movement along a first direction, the pressing element has an operating end protruding from a lateral side of the base, each movable fasteners is movably disposed in the receiving room for movement along a second direction transverse to the first direction of the pressing element, each movable fastener has a latch bar projecting through a bottom of the protruding engagement portion, the pressing element is provided with a driving slant, each movable fastener is provided with a driven slant, a slidable contact is formed between the driving slant and the driven slant for driving each movable fasteners in the second direction of the movably fastener, whereby pressing the pressing element in the first direction against the biasing force of the elastic elements drives the latch bar of each movable fastener in a second direction transverse to the first direction.
2. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the driving slant is a convex conical surface and the driven slant is a concave conical surface.
