Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
243 words
An adjustable mount for releasingly mounting a first component on a second component, particularly for telescopic sight assemblies, said mount comprising a first element adapted to be mounted on said second component, said first element having a surface provided with an undercut securing groove, the latter having an undercut surface and at least one open end; a second element adapted to be fixed to said first component and having a securing stud which is adapted to mate with said securing groove to thereby provide a slidable fit therebetween, said securing stud being receivable in said securing groove through said open end thereof and having a top sUrface shaped to mate with said undercut surface; latching means on said first element in the region of said open end for movement between first and second positions, said latching means being operative in said first position for permitting insertion of said securing stud into said securing groove through said open end and for thereupon moving to said second position, said latching means being operative in said second position for preventing the disengagement of said first and second elements; and locking means comprising a bolt having at least one eccentric portion, said eccentric portion moving relative to said undercut surface with rotation of said bolt, said bolt being operatively positioned in relation to said stud to thereby move said top surface of said stud in relation to said undercut surface in response to rotation of said bolt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
243 words
An adjustable mount for releasingly mounting a first component on a second component, particularly for telescopic sight assemblies, said mount comprising a first element adapted to be mounted on said second component, said first element having a surface provided with an undercut securing groove, the latter having an undercut surface and at least one open end; a second element adapted to be fixed to said first component and having a securing stud which is adapted to mate with said securing groove to thereby provide a slidable fit therebetween, said securing stud being receivable in said securing groove through said open end thereof and having a top sUrface shaped to mate with said undercut surface; latching means on said first element in the region of said open end for movement between first and second positions, said latching means being operative in said first position for permitting insertion of said securing stud into said securing groove through said open end and for thereupon moving to said second position, said latching means being operative in said second position for preventing the disengagement of said first and second elements; and locking means comprising a bolt having at least one eccentric portion, said eccentric portion moving relative to said undercut surface with rotation of said bolt, said bolt being operatively positioned in relation to said stud to thereby move said top surface of said stud in relation to said undercut surface in response to rotation of said bolt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
100 words
An adjustable mount as defined in claim 1, wherein said stud includes first and second lower surfaces, said first lower surface facing said locking means, said second lower surface facing said latching means, said locking means being operative for urging said stud top surface towards said undercut surface and towards said latching means in response to rotation of said bolt, said second lower surface simultaneously being urged against said latching means in said second portion, whereby said stud is rigidly secured by the intimate contacts resulting at said top surface and said first and second lower surfaces of said stud.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
An adjustable mount as defined in claim 2, further comprising safety means for maintaining said limited movement of said stud by holding said locking means in urging position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
An adjustable mount as defined in claim 3, wherein said safety means comprises a screw coaxial with said bolt and mounted for movement towards said bolt for bearing contact thereon, whereby said screw applies frictional forces upon said bolt in response to advancing said screw to come in contact with said bolt and thereby preventing said bolt from rotating from its locked position.
