Abstract
A quick disconnect clamping assembly for releaseably attaching an accessory such as a bipod to an elongate support such as a picatinny-style mounting rail comprises a clamp body with a mounting yoke that is adapted to slide over and receive the picatinny rail. The yoke includes a substantially rectangular base plate defining the central upper surface of a clamp body and includes a pair of parallel sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom. The base plate has, in one embodiment, first and second transverse bores for first and second substantially rectangular upwardly movable bolts actuable to project upwardly from the yoke base plate. The clamp body's first and second transverse bolts, when raised and aligned with the transverse grooves of the picatinny rail, are received in the spaced transverse grooves of the rail to attach the yoke to the rail.
