Abstract

A bag specially adapted as a shooting rest with multiple flexible legs extending from the bottom, and handle around the perimeter of the bag, and multiple attachment points for attaching items to the bag or the bag to items.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A rifle rest comprising:
 a generally hollow primary cavity, said generally hollow primary cavity being fillable with particulate material;   at least three generally hollow support lobes attached to said generally hollow primary cavity, said generally hollow support lobes being fillable with particulate material;   said generally hollow support lobes extending away from said generally hollow primary cavity in a common direction.   
     
     
         2 . The rifle rest of  claim 1  wherein:
 said primary cavity and said generally hollow support lobes being configured to, when filled, allow particulate material to pass between and among them 
 
     
     
         3 . The rifle rest of  claim 2  wherein:
 said generally hollow primary cavity has a cross section of a generally regular polygon with a number of sides corresponding to the number of generally hollow support lobes. 
 
     
     
         4 . The rifle rest of  claim 2  wherein:
 said generally hollow primary cavity has a generally cylindrical shape. 
 
     
     
         5 . The rifle rest of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a reclosable opening in said generally hollow primary cavity configured, when opened, to permit particulate material to be added to or removed from said generally hollow primary cavity and said generally hollow support lobes and when closed to prevent particulate material from entering or escaping said generally hollow primary cavity and said generally hollow support lobes. 
 
     
     
         6 . The rifle rest of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a reclosable opening in at least one of said generally hollow support lobes configured, when opened, to permit particulate material to be added to or removed from said generally hollow primary cavity and said generally hollow support lobes and when closed to prevent particulate material from entering or escaping said generally hollow primary cavity and said generally hollow support lobes. 
 
     
     
         7 . The rifle rest of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a plurality of attachment points around the exterior face(s) of said generally hollow primary cavity. 
 
     
     
         8 . The rifle rest of  claim 7  wherein:
 said attachment points are comprised of flexible material discontinuously attached to said generally hollow primary cavity. 
 
     
     
         9 . The rifle rest of  claim 2  further comprising:
 at least one strap passing over said generally hollow primary cavity opposite said support lobes. 
 
     
     
         10 . The rifle rest of  claim 9  further comprising:
 said strap(s) having an adjustable effective length. 
 
     
     
         11 . The rifle rest of  claim 2  further comprising:
 an abrasion and/or puncture resistant material, different from that comprising the remainder of the surface of said generally hollow primary cavity, at the intersection of said generally hollow support lobes. 
 
     
     
         12 . A rifle rest comprising:
 three or more flexible side panels, said flexible side panels having a greatest height not occurring at the center of the width, wherein sides of said flexible side panels, when connected directly or indirectly, form the perimeter of an enclosure.   
     
     
         13 . The rifle rest of  claim 12  wherein:
 one or more of said flexible side panels are comprised of more than one flexible panels. 
 
     
     
         14 . The rifle rest of  claim 12  wherein:
 said flexible side panels are generally bilaterally symmetrical. 
 
     
     
         15 . The rifle rest of  claim 12  further comprising:
 a flexible top panel which, when attached to a top of said flexible side panels forms a top of an enclosure having sides comprised of said flexible side panels. 
 
     
     
         16 . The rifle rest of  claim 15  further comprising:
 one or more flexible bottom panels which, when connected to the bottoms of said flexible side panels, form the bottom of said enclosure having sides comprised of said flexible side panels. 
 
     
     
         17 . The rifle rest of  claim 16  wherein:
 said enclosure is fillable with particulate material. 
 
     
     
         18 . The rifle rest of  claim 17  further comprising:
 a reclosable opening in said enclosure configured, when opened, to permit particulate material to be added to or removed from said enclosure and, when closed, to prevent particulate material from entering or escaping said enclosure. 
 
     
     
         19 . The rifle rest of  claim 18  further comprising:
