1. A mounting device for accessories on a firearm having a barrel axis, where the firearm has guide elements substantially parallel to the barrel axis, and at least one recess formed transversely to the barrel axis, the mounting device comprising:
a device housing having guides configured to interact with the guide elements;
a spring;
at least one bearing knob;
at least one locking spindle having a spindle axis, the locking spindle being configured to interact with the bearing knob and the recess;
the locking spindle having a first end, a center part, and a second end; where the first end includes a selector knob with a resting protrusion, the center part has at least one locking protrusion formed in a spatial direction normal to the spindle axis, and the second end includes a connection piece;
the locking spindle being disposed in the device housing so that the locking spindle is rotatably and/or longitudinally displaceable;
wherein the mounting device is configured so that:
the mounting device can be placed in an open position by a displacement of at least the resting protrusion of the selector knob along the spindle axis, bringing the resting protrusion out of engagement with a detent formed on a side of the device housing, where the detent is complementary in shape to the resting protrusion, thereby enabling a rotation of the locking spindle;
the rotation of the locking spindle can disengage the locking protrusion from the recess, thereby enabling a displacement of the mounting device along the guide elements; and
the mounting device can be mounted on the firearm in a locking position by bringing the locking protrusion into engagement with the recess and engaging at least the resting protrusion of the selector knob partially or completely with the detent, thereby locking the mounting device in place.
