Claim Text:
1. A weapon stabilizing device, comprising: an anchor line operatively connected to a spool member, wherein rotation of the spool member releases and retracts the anchor line; a lock member operatively associated with the spool member, wherein in a locked position the lock member prevents rotation of the spool member, wherein in a released position the lock member allows the spool member to rotate, wherein a default position of the lock member is the locked position or the released position, wherein the lock member is operatively associated with the spool member through a gear, wherein the gear is operatively connected to the spool member such that the spool member rotates with the gear, wherein the gear includes a plurality of gear teeth, and wherein a lock protrusion of the lock member engages one of the gear teeth to prevent the gear and the spool member from rotating in the locked position; an activation member operatively associated with the lock member, wherein actuation of the activation member switches the lock member from the default position to an activated position, wherein the activated position is the locked position when the default position is the released position, and wherein the activated position is the released position when the default position is the locked position; an attachment member operatively connected to the spool member, wherein the attachment member is configured for attachment to a base of a weapon for stabilizing the weapon during use; and a guide member operatively associated with the lock member and the activation member, wherein the guide member is configured to maintain the lock member in the default position, and wherein actuation of the activation member pivots the guide member relative to the lock member for transferring the lock member into the activated position.
