ABSTRACT:
A gun mount includes two spaced adjustable gun racks, and each of the gun racks are arranged to be held in position by the frame of a rear window of a pickup truck, for example, so that a plurality of guns can be supported at spaced intervals thereon and safely transported in a pick-up truck. The pair of racks each include an adjustable spreader bar that terminate in blades at opposed ends thereof, with the blades terminating in attached relationship respective to the frame of a vehicle window. A cradle support assembly has opposed ends which also attach to the blade members and are spaced from the spreader bar to thereby provide an unusual adjustable rack assembly that resist lateral loads in an unexpected manner. Any number of cradles are attached to the cradle support assembly and provides the means by which fire arms, fishing tackle, and other such paraphernalia can be supported and stored behind the driver of a pickup truck. The spreader bar is placed in compression and thereby urges the blades apart, and the blades have a flat surface that bears against the window glass, and further include teeth that engage the interior of the window frame and thereby hold each of the racks in fixed relationship due to the compressive forces which urge the blade members away from one another. The cradle support assembly has opposed marginal lengths that terminate in fixed relationship respective to the opposed blade members and transfer the load of a fire arm into both the upper and lower blade members as well as adding to the structural integrity of the rack assembly.
