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. Sufficient loosening of the locking knob can allow a pivot block to be lifted from the housing and rotated 180°, and then retightened to lock in a given pivot position. Before this 180 rotation of the pivot block, the pivot block and hence the firearm is free to pivot up to 10° , or up to 20°, or up to 30°.

Claim (Index 8):
A bipod leg deployment assembly comprising:\n a housing having two legs rotationally coupled thereto, the housing comprising:\n a vertical housing aperture arranged around a vertical pivot axis; \n a plurality of detent receiving hollows arranged concentrically around the vertical pivot axis, adjacent ones of the detent receiving hollows having alternating arcuate widths as measured in a circle around the vertical pivot axis; \n a pivot rod that passes through the vertical housing aperture; a locking knob coupled to a lower half of the pivot rod and arranged at least partially below the housing; and a pivot block fixed to an upper half of the pivot rod and pivotally arranged at least partially above the housing.
