Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to firearms accessories, and particularly to handles that may be fitted on a firearm, which among other things, may permit firing the firearm when held at a distance (e.g., arms length) or at any angle from the shooter's body.
- an elongate barrel is provided to direct the bullet in the direction in which the firearm is aimed, and to provide a path along which the bullet is accelerated.
- the present invention seeks to provide a novel accessory for a firearm comprising side extending handles, as is described more in detail hereinbelow.
- the firearm accessory of the invention may permit firing the firearm when held at a distance (e.g., arms length) or at any angle from the shooter's body.
- the handles may be particularly useful for shooting the firearm around corners.
- the handles may also be used as carrying handles or other useful features, such as but not limited to, steadying the firearm against a surface when firing.
- the handles of the invention may be supplied as a separate kit for attachment to an existing firearm.
- a firearm manufacturer or dealer may be supply the firearm already equipped with the handles.
- apparatus comprising at least one handle attached to a firearm, the firearm comprising a butt and a barrel which define a plane, wherein a longitudinal axis of the firearm lies in the plane, wherein in a gripping position of the at least one handle, the at least one handle angularly extends away from the plane.
- the at least one handle extends from the firearm rearward or forward of the ammunition firing portion.
- two such handles are provided, wherein one of the handles extends from the firearm forward of the ammunition firing portion and the other handle extends from the firearm rearward of the ammunition firing portion.
- one of the handles may extend from the butt and the other handle may extend from a handguard of the firearm.
- the at least one handle comprises a trigger coupled to the trigger of the firearm.
- the at least one handle is telescopic.
- the at least one handle in a stored position is generally parallel to the plane.
- the at least one handle is pivotally attached to the firearm.
- the at least one handle is pivotally attached to the firearm with a pivoting connector adapted to be fixed at a plurality of angles.
- the at least one handle may be pivotable about an axis that lies or does not lie in the plane.
- a first sight is provided through which a target is viewable in the plane and a second sight is provided through which the target is viewable at an angle to (e.g., generally perpendicular to) the plane.
- Fig. 1 is a simplified pictorial illustration of a firearm with side handles, constructed and operative in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, with the handles in a stored position;
- Fig. 2 is a simplified illustration of the firearm of Fig. 1, with the side handles in a deployed position.
- FIG. 1 and 2 illustrate a firearm 10, constructed and operative in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- Firearm 10 may comprise a butt 12, a trigger 14, an ammunition firing portion 16 (which may include, but is not limited to, a chamber, a bolt carrier, a magazine and the like), a pistol grip 17, a handguard 18, a carrying handle 19 and a barrel 20.
- Firearm 10 is illustrated for exemplary purposes only as a Colt M-16 automatic rifle, but the invention is not limited to this firearm and may be carried out with other firearms, such as but not limited to, assault rifles, sniper rifles, handguns, pistols, revolvers, etc.
- the butt 12 and barrel 20 define a plane 22 and a longitudinal axis 24 of firearm 10 lies in plane 22.
- Firearm 10 may comprise front and rear sights 26 and 28, respectively, which individually or in combination allow viewing a target 29 along longitudinal axis 24 in plane 22.
- one or more additional handles are attached in any manner (fixed or pivoted) to firearm 10.
- one handle 30 is pivotally attached to butt 12, rearward of ammunition firing portion 16, and another handle 32 is pivotally attached to handguard 18, forward of said ammunition firing portion 16.
- the handles may be attached at other positions on firearm 10 (e.g., on a top portion thereof and arranged to swing outwards, or on pistol grip 17 and/or the magazine holder).
- the pistol grip 17 may itself serve as one of the handles 30 or 32, wherein pistol grip 17 is pivotable with respect to firearm 10 about axis 24. In such an embodiment, pistol grip 17 is pivotable from a position parallel with plane 22 to a gripping position angularly extending away from plane 22.
- Fig. 1 illustrates handles 30 and 32 in a stored position, wherein they are generally parallel to plane 22.
- Fig. 2 illustrates handles 30 and 32 in a deployed position (i.e., gripping position, wherein the handles may be gripped to fire firearm 10). In the gripping position, the handles 30 and 32 angularly extend away from plane 22. In the illustrated embodiment, handles 30 and 32 are generally perpendicular to plane 22 in the gripping position, but the invention is not limited to this angle.
- the handles 30 and 32 may be pivotally attached to firearm 10 with a pivoting connector 34.
- Pivoting connector 34 may be fixed at a plurality of angles, such as by means of a ratchet mechanism, locking mechanism, pawl and detents and the like (not shown). Pivoting connector 34 may permit pivoting the handles 30 and 32 in a plurality of directions, such as about axis 24 (which lies in plane 22), as indicated by an arrow 36 (elevational rotation), or about an axis that does not lie in plane 22, such as a vertical axis
- Handle 30 and/or 32 may be telescopic, wherein it comprises one or more telescopic sections 40.
- the handles 30 and 32 may be of any shape or size, and may be constructed of any suitable material.
- the handles 30 and 32 may be of identical or different shapes or sizes.
- the handles 30 and 32 may be arranged to swing outwards towards either end of firearm 10.
- Either one of the handles may comprise a trigger 42 coupled to trigger 14 of firearm 10.
- a wire 44 may connect trigger 14 of firearm 10 to a linkage assembly 46, which is connected to trigger 42 of handle 30. Pulling trigger 42 in a direction perpendicular to axis 24 pulls trigger 14 to fire firearm 10. It is appreciated that the invention is not limited to this arrangement and other coupling arrangements may be used instead.
- the trigger 14 may be adapted to pivot together with the pistol grip 17 to the gripping position angularly extending away from plane 22 and serve as the trigger 42.
- an auxiliary sight 48 may be provided attached to firearm 10, for viewing target 29 at an angle to plane 22, such as but not limited to, generally perpendicular to plane 22.
- Auxiliary sight 48 may be foldable with respect to firearm 10, and may comprise, without limitation, a mirror or camera device or combination thereof.
- handles 30 and 32 may be folded out form the stored position shown in Fig. 1 to the deployed position shown in Fig. 2.
- Firearm 10 may then be held by handles 30 and 32 and fired when held at arms length from the shooter's body, with the target 29 sighted by auxiliary sight 48. This may be particularly useful for shooting around corners and the like.
