DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0052] In this detailed description, the invention is described with examples that will not have any limiting effect for better understanding of the subject matter.

[0053] The invention is a folding stock assembly (A) for firearms comprising at least one body (2) and stock (1), which can be easily folded to the left or right without the use of any additional tools for ease of handling and ergonomics in sniper or tactical weapons characterized in that; comprises a hinge (5) formed between said stock (1) and the body (2) which allows said stock (1) to be folded, the axis (6) positioned in connection with said hinge (5), the folding tabs (7) formed on the hinge (5) and fixing said hinge (5) on said axis (6), the folding button (13) which allows said folding tab (7) to be opened by releasing the slot formed on the axis (6), a first changeover lever (3.1) positioned between the body (2) and the axis (6) to change the folding direction of said stock (1).

[0054] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0055] FIG. 2 shows a side view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0056] FIG. 3 shows another perspective view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0057] FIG. 4 shows another top perspective view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0058] FIG. 5—shows a folded view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0059] FIG. 6 shows another folded view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0060] FIG. 7 shows a folded top detail view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0061] FIG. 8 shows another view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0062] FIG. 9 shows another view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0063] FIG. 10 shows another view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0064] FIG. 11 shows another view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0065] FIG. 12 shows another view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0066] FIG. 13 shows a cross-sectional view of the folding stock assembly (A) according to the invention.

[0067] The folding stock assembly (A) according to invention; consists of main parts that, body (2) formed in the middle section of the firearm, stock (1) associated with said body (2), comprises a hinge (5) formed between said stock (1) and the body (2) which allows said stock (1) to be folded, the axis (6) positioned in connection with said hinge (5), the folding tabs (7) formed on the hinge (5) and fixing said hinge (5) on said axis (6), the folding button (13) which allows said folding tab (7) to be opened by releasing the slot formed on the axis (6), the folding lock (8) formed on said hinge (5) in order to prevent it from involuntarily re-opening when said stock (1) is folded onto the body (2), the lock holder (10) formed on said axis (6) as the place where said folding lock (8) is housed, a first changeover lever (3.1) positioned between the body (2) and the axis (6) to change the folding direction of said stock (1), a second changeover lever (3.2) positioned between the stock (1) and the hinge (5) to change the folding direction of said stock (1), a first centering shaft (9.1) allowing said first changeover lever (3.1) to rotate about its axis; a second centering shaft (9.2) allowing said second changeover lever (3.2) to pivot about its axis; the first direction fixing pin (4.1) and the second direction fixing pin (4.2) ensuring that said stock (1) is fixed in the first position, a first direction fixing pin hole (11.1) accommodating said first direction fixing pin (4.1), a second direction fixing pin hole (11.2) bearing said second direction fixing pins (4.2), the first pin hole spring (12.1) performing the re-fixing operation by pushing the first direction fixing pin hole (11.1) and the second pin hole spring (12.2) performing the re-fixing operation by pushing the second direction fixing pin hole (11.2).

[0068] When the user presses the folding button (13), the folding tabs (7) formed on the hinge (5) are opened and said stock (1) is folded in the right or left direction.

[0069] When the folding is performed, said folding lock (8) is locked to the lock holder (10) to prevent the stock (1) from being opened back on said body (2).

[0070] When said folding button (13) is pressed again, the folding lock (8) is released from the lock holder (10) and returned to its original position.

[0071] To change the folding direction, the first changeover lever (3.1) is rotated slightly about the first centering shaft (9.1) and the system is completely disengaged when the first direction fixing pin hole (11.1) moves from the body (2) by moving with the first direction fixing pin (4.1) is beginning to spin.

[0072] When it completes its 180 degree rotation, the first direction fixing pin (4.1) re-fix the system by the first pin hole spring (12.1) pushing the first direction fixing pin hole (11.1).

[0073] The user then rotates the second changeover lever (3.2) a little in order to rotate the remaining stock (1) and when the second direction fixing pins (4.2) move away from the stock (1), the stock (1) starts to rotate.

[0074] When said stock (1) completes its 180 degree rotation, the second direction fixing pins (4.2) fix the stock (1) again and change the direction.
