Tactical-gear-rails connector-adapter system apparatus and method
View Patent ↗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.
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 and rail grabbers of Picatinny rail comprising:
(i) a connector body having an outer surface, supporting a plurality of connector sections running on a common principal axis and radiating therefrom;
(ii) a first pair of mutually parallel connector sections and a second pair of mutually parallel connector sections, each of said first pair of connector sections being oriented at a right angle to each of the second pair of said connector sections; and
(iii) a pair of rail runs formed upon the first pair of parallel connector sections and a pair of rail grabbers unitary formed with the second pair of parallel connector sections;
where said first pair of connector sections and said second pair of connector sections are arrayed upon said connector body and form an extended available mounting surface;
where the extended available mounting surface is thus provided for precise aligned removable interconnection of tactical-gear and auxiliary equipment; and
where said tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus is attachable to a stabilizing device adapted to support the tactical gear and/or auxiliary equipment.
2. The tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus of claim 1 , where said stabilizing device is a monopod stabilizing device.
3. 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 and rail grabbers of Picatinny rail comprising:
(i) providing a tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus, comprising:
(a) a connector body having an outer surface, supporting a plurality of connector sections running on a common principal axis and radiating therefrom;
(b) a first pair of mutually parallel connector sections and a second pair of mutually parallel connector sections, each of said first pair of connector sections being oriented at a right angle to each of the second pair of said connector sections; and
(c) a pair of rail runs formed upon the first pair of parallel connector sections and a pair of rail grabbers unitary formed with the second pair of parallel connector sections;
where said first pair of connector sections and said second pair of connector sections are arrayed upon said connector body and form an extended available mounting surface; and
where the extended available mounting surface is thus provided for precise aligned removable interconnection of tactical-gear and auxiliary equipment;
(ii) using said tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus for precise aligned removable mounting of a variety of tactical-gear auxiliary equipment; and
(iii) attaching said tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system apparatus to a stabilizing device adapted to support the tactical gear and/or auxiliary equipment.
4. The tactical-gear-rail connector-adapter system method of claim 3 , where said stabilizing device is a monopod stabilizing device.
