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 8):
The bipod leg deployment button of  claim 7 , wherein the leg assembly has a curved edge maintaining a first distance from a pivot axis of the leg assembly, and wherein a circumference of the second length is a second distance from the pivot axis, and wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance, such that the leg assembly can rotate and the curved edge can clear the second length when the bipod leg deployment button is depressed such that the leg assembly is aligned with the second length.
