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 1):
A bipod leg deployment assembly comprising:\n a housing comprising:\n a vertical housing aperture passing through the housing along a vertical pivot axis; \n one or more first detent receiving hollows arranged concentrically around the vertical housing aperture; \n one or more second detent receiving hollows arranged concentrically around the vertical housing aperture and alternately arranged between the one or more first detent receiving hollows, the one or more first detent receiving hollows having a greater arcuate width than the one or more second detent receiving hollows; \n two leg housings coupled to the housing and each having a leg assembly rotatably coupled thereto; 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.
