Abstract

A tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus and method utilizing the Picatinny-rail standard, allowing precise aligned removable interconnection of a variety of tactical gear or auxiliary equipment such as telescopic sights, night vision devices, reflex sights, laser aiming modules, rangefinders, tactical lights, cameras, fore-grips, bipods, and bayonets, in field-interchangeable configurations, to small-arms rifles and pistols and to non-firearm tactical gear, by providing a greater amount of interconnection options.

Claims (11)

1. A tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus for precise aligned removable interconnection of a variety of tactical-gear and auxiliary equipment having rail-runs of Picatinny rail comprising:

(i) a connector body having a fixed linear longitudinal axis and a nominal top surface and a bottom surface, all parallel; and

(ii) a pair of rail-run sections arrayed upon said connector body, one upon the top surface and one upon the bottom surface, both along the fixed linear longitudinal axis;

where said rail-run sections arrayed upon said connector body provide connection areas in fixed parallel relationship one to the other and forming an extendable available mounting surface; and where the extended available mounting surface is thus provided for precise aligned removable interconnection of tactical-gear and auxiliary equipment.

2. A tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system method for precise aligned removable interconnection of a variety of tactical-gear and auxiliary equipment having rail-runs of Picatinny rail comprising:

(i) providing a tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus, comprising:

(a) a connector body having a fixed linear longitudinal axis and a nominal top surface and a bottom surface, all parallel; and

(b) a pair of rail-run sections arrayed upon said connector body, one upon the top surface and one upon the bottom surface, both along the fixed linear longitudinal axis;

where said rail-run sections arrayed upon said connector body provide connection areas in fixed parallel relationship one to the other and forming an extendable available mounting surface; and

where the extended available mounting surface is thus provided for precise aligned removable interconnection of tactical-gear and auxiliary equipment; and

(ii) using said tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus for precise aligned removable mounting of a variety of tactical-gear auxiliary equipment.
