Patent ID: 7980017

Claim:
A gun vise for adjustably holding a gun on a mounting surface, the gun vise comprising: a coupling component configured to secure the gun vise to the gun; a mounting component configured to secure the gun vise to the mounting surface; a horizontal adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an orientation of the coupling component in a first plane; and a vertical adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an orientation of the coupling component in a second plane, the second plane being a substantially vertical plane that is transverse to the first plane, the vertical adjustment mechanism comprising: a hub associated with the mounting component: at least one flange associated with the coupling component, the flange being permitted to rotate with reference to the hub in the substantially vertical plane to vary the orientation of the coupling component with reference to the mounting component in the substantially vertical plane; and a tightening device configured to releasably secure the flange against the hub to maintain the orientation of the coupling component in the substantially vertical plane.
