Patent attributes
A quick-attach-and-detach mount for removably securing an accessory on a rail of a firearm comprises a clamp carried by a portion of the accessory. The clamp includes a pair of generally opposing surfaces. An opposing jaw is formed on one of the generally opposing surfaces of the clamp and is configured to engage an undercut on the rail. At least one movable jaw is secured in a recess in another of the generally opposing surfaces of the clamp in opposition to the opposing jaw and is configured to engage an undercut on an opposite side of the rail from the opposing jaw. A biasing member is disposed in the recess to urge the movable jaw into engagement with the undercut on the rail. A locking member may be at least partially disposed in the recess and selectively act upon the movable jaw to selectively secure the movable jaw in engagement with the rail.
