Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for a bipod having pivot and cant functionality built into a unified cant/pivot assembly, housing, and pivot block. Rotation of a locking knob under the housing can gradually increase or decrease friction of the cant and pivoting degrees of freedom. The legs can be stowed approximately 90° rotation from a deployed position, and locking and releasing of this rotation is made possible via depression of a button that also acts as a locking detent that directly interacts with and locks or releases the legs for rotation. In the stowed position, the button can be backdriven and thus the legs can be deployed without depressing the button. A pivot block can also be raised and rotated 180° to lock in a given pivot setting.

Claim (Index 7):
A bipod leg deployment button comprising:\n an elongated and cylindrical cross section split into at least two lengths, the lengths extending along a longitudinal axis of the bipod leg deployment button; a first of the lengths being a conical frustum with sides angled from the longitudinal axis by an angle selected from the range including and extending between 0\u00b0 and 30\u00b0, and at least a first diameter at a narrowest end of the conical frustum; and a second of the lengths having a second diameter, smaller than the first diameter, wherein a shape of the first length substantially matches a shape of at least one conical cutout in a leg assembly, such that when the first cutout of the leg assembly interfaces with the first of the lengths, the leg assembly is unable to rotate.
