Rail mounted sling fitting

Abstract

The present invention is a rail mounted sling fitting for threaded type slings. A loop body terminates with at least two clamp ends that, when tightened, grasp a rail installed on a weapon. The preferred tightening means is a bolt extending diametrically through the clamp ends. An alternative embodiment extends the lower jaw of each clamp until they almost make contact, which prevents the sling from interfacing with the rail itself.

1 . A rail mounted sling fitting for a weapon, the fitting comprising: 
 A fitting body;    At least two clamp ends extending from and curling under the fitting body such that a space is defined as an interior of the fitting body and ends;    A tightening means for biasing the clamp ends towards one another.    
   
   
       2 . The fitting of  claim 1 , the tightening means being at least one bolt inserted through a bore, threadingly engaged to two ends across but not encroaching the space.  
   
   
       3 . The fitting of  claim 2 , wherein a material from which the fitting is constructed is selected from the group of materials consisting of: metal, plastic, wood, composite materials and fiberglass.  
   
   
       4 . The fitting of  claim 1 , further comprising at least two extended clamp jaws, each projecting from one clamp end towards the other clamp end, but neither jaw touching the other.  
   
   
       5 . The fitting of  claim 4 , the tightening means being a bolt, threadingly engaged to two ends across but not encroaching the oblong space.  
   
   
       6 . The fitting of  claim 5 , wherein a material from which the fitting is constructed is selected from the group of materials consisting of: metal, plastic, wood, composite materials and fiberglass.  
   
   
       7 . The fitting of  claim 4 , wherein a material from which the fitting is constructed is selected from the group of materials consisting of: metal, plastic, wood, composite materials and fiberglass.  
   
   
       8 . The fitting of  claim 1 , wherein a material from which the fitting is constructed is selected from the group of materials consisting of: metal, plastic, wood, composite materials and fiberglass.  
   
   
       9 . The fitting of  claim 2  further comprising an offset clip hole positioned on the side opposite the bore.
