Weapon Rail Attachment

Abstract

A weapon mount that integrates a Picatinny style weapon mount and a hook and loop attachment surface to quickly and securely affix weapon accessories to the accessory rail of a weapon using hook and loop fasteners. The mount is constructed of a light weight resilient material that allows the mount to be press fit upon a standard Picatinny rail. The weapon mount has a molded body having a flat top platform and an integral pair of opposed clamp members. The mount also includes a patch of hook fasteners bonded to the outer surface of the top platform.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A weapon mount for detachable connection to an accessory rail member, the weapon mount comprising:
 a mount body including a substantially flat platform having a top surface and a bottom surface, a pair of opposed clamp members integrally extending from the bottom surface of the platform and adapted to restrictively engage the accessory rail, the mount body constructed of a resilient pliable material so that the platform can be manually deformed to spread the pair of opposed clamp members apart from one another to facilitate disengaging the weapon mount from the accessory rail, and   one of a hook fastener material and loop fastener material covering the top surface of the platform.   
     
     
         2 . A weapon mount for detachable connection to an accessory rail member having a plurality of evenly spaced mounting projections therebetween, and each of the plurality of spaced mounting projections having opposed angled sidewalls, the weapon mount comprising:
 a mount body including a substantially flat platform having a top surface and a bottom surface, a pair of opposed clamp members integrally extending from the bottom surface of the platform and adapted to restrictively engage the accessory rail, the mount body constructed of a resilient pliable material so that the platform can be manually deformed to spread the pair of opposed clamp members apart from one another to facilitate disengaging the weapon mount from the accessory rail, each of the pair of opposed clamp members has an angled inner surface configured to abut against the opposed angled sidewalls of the rail member when the mount is connected to the rail member; and   one of a hook fastener material and loop fastener material covering the top surface of the platform.   
     
     
         3 . The weapon mount of  claim 2  wherein the mount body also includes a stop block extending from the bottom surface and configured to seat between adjacent ones of the plurality of spaced mounting projections.
