Attachment apparatus for a firearm and related methods of use

Abstract

An attachment apparatus for a firearm and methods of use of the attachment apparatus are disclosed. The attachment apparatus may include an eyebolt securable to a rail of a firearm. The eyebolt may include a first loop defining a first aperture and a second loop defining a second aperture. In use, various devices may be attached to one or more loops of the eyebolt so that the eyebolt provides an interface for attachment of various devices to the firearm.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . An attachment apparatus for a firearm, comprising:
 an eyebolt attachable to a rail of said firearm;   a first loop formed as a fixed portion of the eyebolt, the first loop defining a first aperture; and   a second loop formed as a fixed portion of the eyebolt, the second loop defining a second aperture.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein when the eyebolt is attached to the rail the first loop and the second loop are disposed on opposing sides of a barrel of said firearm, the first loop and the second loop lie in a plane that is parallel to an axis of the barrel of said firearm, and the first aperture and the second aperture passing perpendicularly through the plane. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a third loop defining a third aperture, the third loop lies in a perpendicular plane that is perpendicular to the plane of the first loop and the second loop and radial to the axis of the barrel of said firearm.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first loop and the second loop are disposed axially with respect to one another generally along an axis of a barrel of said firearm, the first loop and the second loop lie in a perpendicular plane that is radial to the axis. 
     
     
         5 . An attachment apparatus for a firearm, comprising:
 an eyebolt attached to a rail of said firearm, the eyebolt comprising   a first loop defining a first aperture;   a second loop defining a second aperture.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the first loop and the second loop are disposed on opposing sides of a barrel of said firearm, the first loop and the second loop lying in a plane that is parallel to an axis of the barrel of said firearm, and the first aperture and the second aperture passing perpendicularly through the plane 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a third loop defining a third aperture, the third loop lying in a perpendicular plane that is perpendicular to the plane of the first loop and the second loop and radial to the axis of the barrel of said firearm.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the first loop and the second loop are disposed axially with respect to one another generally along an axis of a barrel of said firearm, the first loop and the second loop lie in a perpendicular plane that is radial to the axis. 
     
     
         9 . An attachment apparatus for a firearm, comprising:
 an eyebolt attachable to a rail of said firearm;   a first loop means for attachment; and   a second loop means for attachment.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a third loop means for attachment.   
     
     
         11 . An attachment apparatus for a firearm, comprising:
 an eyebolt securable to a rail of said firearm, the eyebolt comprising one or more loop means for engagement with a device.
