SUPPORT ARRANGEMENT FOR THE LOWER END OF AN UPRIGHT ELONGATED ARTICLE, SUCH AS A FIREARM OR RELATED ACCESSORY

摘要

A support for the lower ends of elongated articles stored in an upright position, such as the lower ends of firearms contained within a storage cabinet. The support includes a base, and one or more support members are releasably engageable with the base. Each support member receives and secures the lower end of a firearm relative to t he base. Each support member is releasably engaged with the base via one or more releasabl e fasteners that extend through openings in the base and the support member. The base may include a series of slots, within which the fasteners are movable to adjust the position of t he support members on the base. The one or more support members may be a single support member that supports the lower end of each firearm, and a series of support members are mounted along the length of the base to support the lower end of a series of article s. Alternatively, the one or more support members may be a pair of support members that cooperate to define the upwardly facing recess within which the lower end of the firearm is received , and which may be moved together and apart in the slots to accommodate differently dimensioned firearms.
