RECOIL PAD EMBODIMENT FOR RIFLES

Abstract

Disclosed is a recoil pad assembly for the stock of a rifle (200), which is used in all kinds of rifles, including rifles or smoothbore rifles, air rifles and firearms rifles and non-firearms rifles, which are fired by resting the rifle on the shoulder. The assembly includes a recoil pad which can be attached to and detached from the rear end of the stock and allows the stock to be set on the shoulder; and a silicone air cushion attached to and detached from the stock together with the recoil pad on the front side joining the recoil pad with the stock, which contains air and reduces the load on the user's shoulder by reducing the impact during firing and prevents the rifle from muzzle climb.

Claims

1. A recoil pad assembly for the stock of a rifle comprising: a recoil pad adapted to be attached to and detached from a rear end of the stock and allows the stock to be set on a user's shoulder; and a silicone air cushion adapted to be attached to and detached from the stock with the recoil pad at the front side of a joint of the recoil pad with the stock, and which reduces a load on the user's shoulder by reducing the impact during firing and prevents the rifle from muzzle climb by means of having air inside.

2. The recoil pad assembly of claim 1, further comprising a valve on the said silicone air cushion adapted to allow pumping of air into the silicone air cushion.

3. The recoil pad assembly of claim 2, further comprising a valve cap, which is closed on the valve and prevents the air inside the valve from escaping.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0032] In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives of the recoil pad embodiment (100) of the invention are described solely for the purpose of a better understanding of the subject matter and without any limiting effect.

[0033] FIG. 1 shows a disassembled view of the recoil pad embodiment (100) according to the invention. Accordingly, in its most basic form, the recoil pad embodiment (100) comprises a stock (10) forming the part of the rifle (200) resting on the shoulder of the user, a recoil pad (20) which can be attached to and detached from the rear end of the stock (10) and which enables the stock (10) to fit on the shoulder, silicone air cushion (30), which can be attached to and detached from the stock (10) together with the recoil pad (20) and which contains air to reduce the load on the shoulder during firing and to prevent the rifle from muzzle climb, valve (40) on the silicone air cushion (30) and which allows air to be pumped into the silicone air cushion (30), valve cap (50) which is placed on the valve (40).

[0034] The stock (10), which forms the main structure of the recoil pad embodiment (100) of the invention, constitutes the part of all kinds of rifles (200) resting on the shoulder of the user, including rifles or smoothbore rifles, air rifles and firearms rifles and non-firearms rifles. At the rear end of the stock (10), there is a recoil pad (20) which can be attached to and detached from the stock (10). The said recoil pad (20) is the part that allows the stock (10) to be set on the shoulder.

[0035] As can be seen in FIG. 2, a silicone air cushion (30) containing air is joined to the front side of the recoil pad (20) which joins with the stock (10), preferably by injection molding method in a leak-proof manner. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, the silicone air cushion (30) and the recoil pad (20) are made monolithic. The silicone air cushion (30) can be attached to and detached from the stock (10) together with the recoil pad (20).

[0036] As can be seen in FIG. 4, the silicone air cushion (30), which is located between the stock (10) and the recoil pad (20) by attaching recoil pad (20) to the stock (10), reduces the load on the user's shoulder by reducing the impact during the shot thanks to the air which is contained inside and prevents the rifle (200) from muzzle climb.

[0037] A valve (40) which allows air to be pumped into the silicone air cushion (30) may preferably be located on the silicone air cushion (30), and a valve cap (50) may be closed on the valve (40) to prevent the air from escaping from the valve (40). Thus, in case of need, depending on the lack of air in the silicone air cushion (30), the user can remove the valve cap (50) and manually pump air into the side of the stock (10) where silicone air cushion (40) is located, by means of the valve (40) and increase the user comfort.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the recoil pad embodiment (100) can also be used without the valve (40) and valve cap (50) on the silicone air cushion (30), as shown in FIG. 5.

[0039] The assembly and use of the recoil pad embodiment (100) of the invention is as follows.

[0040] The recoil pad (20), which has a monolithic structure with silicone air cushion (30), is attached to the stock (10) and the stock (10) is attached to the rifle (200), as shown in FIG. 6.

[0041] The silicone air cushion (30) located between the stock (10) and the recoil pad (20), reduces the load on the user's shoulder and prevents the rifle (200) from muzzle climb, by reducing the impact during the shot thanks to the air inside.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the recoil pad (20) is detached from the stock (10) depending on the lack of air in the silicone air cushion (30), and after detaching the valve cap (50) from the silicone air cushion (30), air is pumped into the silicone air cushion (40) side of the stock (10) manually by means of the valve (40). Then the valve cap (50) is replaced on the valve (40) and the recoil pad (20) is attached to the stock (10) and the rifle (200) is made ready for use.
