ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an arm rest, more particularly, the present invention relates to a portable arm rest worn by the user for steadying a pistol, rifle, bow or the like.
2. Background Information
Accuracy in shooting most hand held weapons is improved with the steadying of the weapon and/or the user's arm. A wide variety of supports have been developed to assist in this matter. Many of these supports are comprised of multi-legged structures which attach directly to the weapon, e.g. rifle tripods. These structures are often very cumbersome and can inappropriately limit or hinder the mobility of the user. Hunters, for example, will find it difficult to accommodate a separate large gun support. This can be particularly true where the hunter is perched in a tree stand or the like. -These prior art supports are often limited to a single type of weapon, minimizing their usefulness to the avid sportsman.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art and to provide a portable hunters arm rest useable with a wide variety of weaponry. A further object of the present invention is to provide a hunters armrest which is easy to use and easy and economical to manufacture.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The above objects are achieved with a hunters arm rest according to the present invention. The hunters armrest includes a base rod having a first end and an opposed second end. A strap is coupled to the first end of the base and is adapted to attach the hunters armrest to the hunter. At least one upper rod is provided having an armrest member at one end thereof. Each upper rod is adapted to be adjustably attached to a second end of the base rod.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the strap will extend through the first end of the base rod and the upper rod and will be telescopically received within the second end of the base rod. The strap which extends from the first end of the base rod and around the hunter will pivotably support the base rod relative to the hunter.
One embodiment of the present invention includes two separate upper rods with each upper rod having a different armrest member. A first upper rod may have an armrest member formed as a substantially spherical ball. The second upper rod may include an armrest member which bends away from the longitudinal axis of the base rod and includes a concave member.
These and other advantages of the present invention will be clarified in the description of the preferred embodiment taken together with the attached figures wherein like reference numerals represent like elements as well.
