I work for an unnamed gun accessory manufactury. I'm just a low level grunt but I have an idea for a picatinny rail attachment with hinges on one side and a lever for tightening and loosening. This would go in front of a red dot sight and would hold a scope so that you could push the lever out, swing the scope up, then tighten it back down quickly in a firefight.
I don't really understand how a lever tensioner would work with a hinge though. Does anyone have any kind of insight on how I could put a lever on a hinge to tighten that hinge in the down position or the up position?

your lever would stick out perpendicular to the hinge pin.
it would be in the way and risk getting caught on every goddamned thing

Maybe some kind of button?

What if it had two positions it could snap into, folded in or folded out, and you hit a button to unlock it from its locked position?

Vortex's magnifier is on a hinge that locks. Button activated.

I'll look into this. Thank you. My plan was to have it be a rail that you could attach your own scope of choice to, but I can learn a lot from their design.

Also, whoever decided that "Tangent Integrated Tilt Sight" is an acceptable name is a fuckin hero.

I can't tell for sure but it looks like that can only be secured in the up position and not the down position...maybe if I had holes drilled in the hinge and somehow had the lever push a rod through the hole...hmmm...
