US 20060174532 A1Abstract
The invention concerns an adjustable recoil pad for a small arm, in particular, a rifle, with a base plate that can be adjustably affixed to a stock part of the small arm, a bottom plate which is adjustably mounted on the base plate, and at least one end part that can be affixed to the bottom plate. A simplified adjustment with a large number of adjustment possibilities is made possible in that the bottom plate is arranged so it can swivel about a transverse axis on a connecting piece, which is displaceably guided via guide elements on the base plate, and can be affixed in a desired position by at least one retaining screw.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The recoil pad shown in FIGS. 1-4 comprises a base plate 1, which is adjustably affixed to a rear stock part 3, which is affixed on the rear end of a rear stock 2 and is constructed as a stock plate in the embodiment shown. The stock part 3, constructed as a stock plate and fitted to the outside contour of the rear stock 2, is affixed to the rear side of the rear stock 2 by screws 4, shown in FIG. 2. The stock part 3 comprises upper and lower passage openings 5, which have oval recesses 6, recognizable in FIG. 3, on the side pointing to the rear stock 2. Nuts 7 with an oval outside contour fitted to the inside contour of the recesses 6, and threaded holes 8 are located in the oval recesses 6. As can be seen, in particular, from FIGS. 3 and 4, the base plate 1 has upper and lower transverse slots 10 for two retaining screws 11. The transverse slots 10 are constructed in the form of oblong holes with a recess 12, shown in FIG. 4, on the side used by the stock part 3. The base plate 1 is affixed on the stock part 3 so as to be adjustable via the transverse slots 10 and the retaining screws 11, constructed as cylinder head screws, with the corresponding nuts 7. The transverse slots 10 are dimensioned in such a way that the base plate 1 can be turned by loosening the retaining screws 11 either to the right or left, by a prespecified angle, and also can be displaced laterally in the vertical position. A longitudinal slot 13 for a T shaped sliding block 15 provided with threaded holes 14 is also provided in the base plate 1, between the upper and lower transverse slot 10. The longitudinal slot 13 comprises a lower guide area, which is also T shaped in cross section, and a broader upper introduction area, which is recognizable in FIG. 4 and into which the sliding block 15 can be inserted. The sliding block 15 can be movably guided upwards and downwards in the lower guide area. A connecting piece 16 is affixed to the rear side of the sliding block 15, turned away from the stock part 3. The connecting piece 16 is affixed via boreholes 17 and two retaining screws 18 to the rear side of the sliding block 15 so that the connecting piece 16 can be displaced upwards or downwards into a desired position, together with the sliding block 15, by loosening the two retaining screws 18 within the guide area of the longitudinal slot 13, and can be fixed in the desired position by tightening the two retaining screws 18. The longitudinal slot 13 and the corresponding sliding block 15 represent guide elements for guiding the connecting piece 16 on the base plate 1. A bottom plate 19 constructed as a middle piece is articulated so it can swivel around a transverse pin 20 on the connecting piece 16. To this end, the connecting piece 16 has a backwards protruding stop 21, with a transverse borehole 22 for the transverse pin 20 in the upper area. Two lateral seating boreholes 23 for the transverse pin 20 are provided in the bottom plate 19. As can be deduced from the FIGS. 3 and 4, the seating holes 23 are located above the middle axis 24 of the bottom plate 19. Two pocket holes 25, which are recognizable in FIG. 4, for the support of two compression springs 26 are provided on the underside of the connecting piece 16. One of the ends of the two compression springs 26 is supported in each of the two pocket holes 25. The other ends of the pressure springs 26 are supported on a back offset inside surface 27 of the bottom plate 19. The connecting piece 16 also has a lug lying above the borehole 22 with a contact surface 28 on which the front end of a setscrew 29, located in the bottom plate 19, fits snugly. The setscrew 29, constructed as the threaded pin, is located in a threaded through-hole 30 of the bottom plate 19. By turning the setscrew 29, the incline of the bottom plate 19 can be adjusted with regard to the connecting piece 16. Upper and lower passage boreholes 31 with oval recesses 32, recognizable in FIG. 3, are also provided in the bottom plate 19 on the side turned toward the connecting piece 16. Once again, nuts 33 for two retaining screws 34 matching the nuts 7 are inserted into these recesses 32. An end part 35, constructed here as an end cap, can be affixed to the bottom plate via the nuts 33 and the retaining screws 34. One or more spacers 36 can also be used between the end part 35 and the bottom plate 19, and with these, the distance of the end part 35 from the bottom plate 19 can be changed. The retaining screws 11 and 18 are constructed as hex socket cap screws. The setscrew 29 also has a hex socket, so that adjustment of the recoil pad with a single hex key is possible. As can be seen in FIG. 2, passage openings 37 to 41, which align in the end part 35, constructed as an end cap, and in the spacer 36, and the bottom plate 19 with the retaining screws 18 and the setscrew 29, are provided. In this way, the retaining screws 18 and the setscrew 29 are accessible from the outside. A large number of adjustments of the recoil pad can be undertaken via the base plate 1 and the connecting piece 16 with the swiveling bottom plate 19. Thus, for example, by loosening the screws 11, the base plate 1 can be rotated within an angular range defined by the transverse slots 10 or can be displaced to the side in their vertical position. In this way, a lateral displacement and an adjustment of the offset can be attained. By loosening the retaining screws 18 on the other hand, it is possible to displace the connecting piece 16 upwards and downwards. This allows a height adjustment of the recoil pad. By rotating the setscrew 29, the inclination of the bottom plate 19 can be changed with respect to the base plate 1 and thus the pitch angle can be adjusted. It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described herein above. In addition, unless mention was made above to the contrary, it should be noted that all of the accompanying drawings are not to scale. A variety of modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention, which is embodied by the following claims.
