Adjustable weapon auxiliary mount

Abstract

An adjustable weapon auxiliary mount for mounting devices of different diameters, one at a time, to a rail of a weapon. The adjustable weapon auxiliary mount is provided with a base, a device clamp and a rail clamp. The base has a first end, an opposed second end, and a clamping surface formed therebetween. The device clamp is mounted to the base. The device clamp is provided with a clamping member having a clamping surface facing the clamping surface of the base and spatially disposed therefrom so as to define a receiving space for receiving one device and securely gripping the device. The clamping surfaces of the clamping member and the base are configured to securely grip, one at a time, devices having varying diameters within a predetermined range. The device clamp is also provided with a clamping assembly for connecting the clamping member of the device clamp to the base so as to permit adjustment of the receiving space within a predetermined range and thereby permit the devices having varying diameters within the predetermined range to be securely mounted within the receiving space. The rail clamp connects the base to the rail of the weapon.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An adjustable weapon auxiliary mount for mounting, more than one at a time, to a rail of a weapon, the adjustable weapon auxiliary mount comprising: 
 a base having a first end, an opposed second end, a first clamping surface and a second clamping surface;    a first device clamp mounted to the base, the first device clamp comprising: 
 a clamping member having a clamping surface facing the first clamping surface of the base and spatially disposed therefrom so as to define a receiving space for receiving one device and securely gripping the device, the clamping surface of the clamping member and the first clamping surface of the base configured to securely grip, one at a time, devices having varying diameters within a predetermined range; and  
 clamping means for connecting the clamping member of the first device clamp to the base so as to permit adjustment of the receiving space within a predetermined range and thereby permit devices having varying diameters within the predetermined range to be securely mounted within the receiving space;  
   a second device clamp mounted to the base, the second device clamp comprising: 
 a clamping member having a clamping surface facing the second clamping surface of the base and spatially disposed therefrom so as to define a receiving space for receiving one device and securely gripping the device, the clamping surface of the clamping member of the second device clamp and the second clamping surface of the base configured to securely grip the device; and  
 a clamping means for connecting the clamping member of the second device clamp to the base so as to permit adjustment of the receiving space and thereby permit the device to be securely mounted within the receiving space; and  
 a rail clamp for clamping the base to the rail of the weapon.
