US Patent 10107597 Multi-position accessory mount

The multi-position sight mount secures two or more weapon sights to a firearm and allows each sight to be selectively rotated between a vertical “aiming” position and an offset “auxiliary” position. The sight mount is mounted atop a conventional firearms and oriented to selectively position each optical sights in line with the longitudinal axis of the firearm barrel. The sight mounting includes a rotating cylinder mounted between a pair of mounting brackets attached to the firearm. The cylinder can be manually rotated between discreet positions to selectively move each sight between a 12 o'clock “aiming” position atop the firearm and a radially offset 3 or 9 o'clock “auxiliary” position.
