Abstract

A firearm accessory mount is described herein. The firearm accessory mount is manufactured by securing a raw amount of material, shaping the raw amount of material to generate receiving structures positioned on a mounting base along a common axis, forming apertures through the receiving structures to form accessory rings along a single axis from one direction and at least substantially dividing each of the accessory rings into receivers and caps.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A firearm accessory intermediary assembly, comprising:
a mounting base comprising a first end and a second end;
a first accessory ring extending from the first end of the mounting base, the first accessory ring comprising a first receiver and a first cap forming a first internal passageway oriented about a longitudinal axis of the mounting base, the first receiver and the first cap being coupled together by a first and a second sliver of manually breakable material; and
a second accessory ring extending from the second end of the mounting base, the second accessory ring comprising a second receiver and a second cap forming a second internal passageway oriented about the longitudinal axis, the second receiver and the second cap being coupled together by a third and a fourth sliver of manually breakable material,
wherein the first internal passageway is aligned with the second internal passageway, the first and second slivers of manually breakable material are configured to operate as hinges that facilitate rotation of the first cap in relation to the first receiver about a first axis; and the third and fourth slivers of manually breakable material are configured to operate as hinges that facilitate rotation of the second cap in relation to the second receiver about a second axis.

2. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first internal passageway and the second internal passageway are ring shaped.

3. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first internal passageway is concentrically aligned with the second internal passageway.

4. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein a planar channel divides the first cap and the first receiver, the planar channel extending from an outer surface of the first accessory ring to an inner surface of the first sliver of manually breakable material.

5. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein a planar channel divides the second cap and the second receiver, the planar channel extending from an outer surface of the second accessory ring to an inner surface of the another third sliver of manually breakable material.

6. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first receiver and the first cap comprise equal portions of a circumference of the first passageway, and the second receiver and the second cap comprise equal portions of a circumference of the second passageway.

7. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first accessory ring comprises a first planar channel between each of two portions of the first receiver and the first cap, and wherein the second accessory ring comprises a second planar channel between each of two portions of the second receiver and the second cap.

8. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first cap is configured to manually separate from the first receiver by bending the first cap away from the first receiver.

9. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first sliver of manually breakable material that couples the first receiver and the first cap has a thickness of about 0.003 inches to about 0.005 inches.

10. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the third sliver of manually breakable material that couples the second receiver and the second cap has a thickness of about 0.003 inches to about 0.005 inches.

11. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first cap and the second cap are geometrically identical, and the first receiver and the second receiver are geometrically identical.

12. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first internal passageway and the second internal passageway are formed with a tool proceeding through a single motion along a single axis.

13. The firearm accessory intermediary assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second slivers of manually breakable material extend transversely in relation to the longitudinal axis of the mounting base.
