Abstract

Weapon and gun accessories and grip devices and systems for attachment by adhesive or fasteners to various gun parts and components including gun rails.

1 . A gun accessory configured for attachment to a gun rail, the gun accessory comprising a body with a substantially planar mounting surface configured for attachment to a gun,
 the body of the gun accessory made of polymeric material with viscoelasticity in durometers in the hardness range of 5 Shore A to 90 Shore A, the polymeric material selected from the group of: synthetic rubber, natural rubber, neoprene, butyl rubber, silicone, urethane viscoelastic urethane, nylon, PVC, polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, PVB, PVDF or Nanbrol®, a nano-particle reinforced nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and thermoplastic polymer alloys with SBR, EPDM or urethanes as base polymers and blended to optimize dynamic properties, dimensional stability and elasticity, thermal resistance and fatigue performance, and   
       one or more projecting features which project from the body and away from the substantially planar mounting surface. 
     
     
         2 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  further comprising a reinforcing structure in combination with the body of the gun accessory. 
     
     
         3 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  in combination with a gun rail attached to a gun. 
     
     
         4 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  in combination with a gun rail which extends from a gun barrel cover. 
     
     
         5 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  further comprising holes for receiving fasteners for fastening the gun accessory to a gun rail. 
     
     
         6 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  wherein the one or more projecting features are in the form of a series of parallel ribs or ridges. 
     
     
         7 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  further comprising integrally formed attachment fittings configured to fit with an accessory mounting structure on a gun. 
     
     
         8 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  further comprising at least one cavity in the body of the gun accessory. 
     
     
         9 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  further comprising at least one passage through at least a portion of the body configured to accept a wire. 
     
     
         10 . The gun accessory of  claim 8  wherein the at least one cavity extends through the body of the accessory. 
     
     
         11 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  in combination with an adhesive on the substantially planar mounting surface of the body. 
     
     
         12 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  in combination with a Picatinny rail. 
     
     
         13 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  in combination with a barrel cover. 
     
     
         14 . The gun accessory of  claim 1  wherein the projecting features are configured similar to the flanges of a Picatinny rail.
