Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for improving the grasping of objects, the regular implementation of which by the user, generates dynamic stresses, harmful both for the expected result and for the operator, who must physically counteract these parasitic stresses.
  • the device relates more particularly to devices which adapt to conventional handguns (pistol, revolver) or weapons of greater caliber and with considerable recoil (assault rifle, projectile launcher).
  • the device interposes against any ergonomic interface and integrates with man-weapon gripping interfaces such as in particular (wrist, cheek, butt, shoulder pad) and comes in addition to conventional recoil absorption systems. of the weapon.
  • Known anti-recoil systems are generally placed within weapons or weapons systems of large size their integration requires a not insignificant volume, and therefore an increase in mass, which irreparably limits their easy implementation by a single man (infantryman) and in the event of high caliber projectile fire, the significant retreat is difficult for the user to sustain, especially in the event of a sustained rate of fire.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a device which can either replace a large part of the conventional anti-recoil system and therefore considerably reduce the size and mass of the weapon, or be inserted at the level of the zones user-weapon interfaces that lack them.
  • This device is also intended to perfectly match the morphology of the user at the level of its interfaces (wrist, cheek, shoulder, arms).
  • one of the applications of this device for damping dynamic stresses originating in particular from the recoil of a firearm and automatic adaptation to the morphology of the user is characterized in that it comprises at least one plate support, produced in a rigid profile, integral with the body of the object generating dynamic stresses, located at the level of the object-user gripping zones, said plate being provided with a sealed, flexible, inextensible pocket, in particular in fabric and l enclosing, the free interior space thus formed being filled with at least one material having both the properties of being deformable at rest, and of being modified when dynamic stresses appear, and it furthermore comprises a device for pressurizing said envelope and cooperating with both said support plate and said material.
  • this device 1 for absorbing dynamic stress and adapting to the morphology of the user, it comprises a rigid part 2 generally consisting of a profile 3 made of wood, composite, or carpentry d aluminum or an aluminum alloy, which can only be plastically deformed in very small amplitude ranges.
  • This rigid part 2 commonly called support plate is provided on at least one of its blanks 4, with a plurality of ribs 5, which cooperate if necessary with the body 6 of the object generating dynamic stresses. In an application to a firearm, this plate is possibly connected to the mechanical anti-recoil system.
  • the support plate 3 is wrapped in a flexible, inextensible waterproof fabric 7 and is made integral with the plate 3 by a rod 8 circulating in a peripheral groove 9 located on the edge of said plate 3, thus enclosing a fold 10 of the fabric of the envelope.
  • the interior free space is filled with a material 11 such as in particular "silbione gum 700093" marketed by RHONE POULENC, or any other viscoelastic gum in the form of a soft, amorphous paste, the properties of which mechanical combine with times of plastic deformation characteristics at rest for adaptation to the morphology of the user at the level of its zones of interfaces with the weapon (wrist, cheek, hand, shoulder, arm) and on the other hand, the capacity to stiffen almost instantly in the event of dynamic impulse stresses such as in particular the firing of a projectile leading to a retreat of the weapon.
  • a material 11 such as in particular "silbione gum 700093" marketed by RHONE POULENC, or any other viscoelastic gum in the form of a soft, amorphous paste, the properties of which mechanical combine with times of plastic deformation characteristics at rest for adaptation to the morphology of the user at the level of its zones of interfaces with the weapon (wrist, cheek, hand, shoulder, arm
  • a plurality of bodies can be added to the latter within the envelope, which may in particular be in the form of micro- balls 12 with a density different from that of said material.
  • baffles disposed on the support plate in contact with said material in order to obtain the desired shearing phenomenon.
  • this device can be easily integrated into a long gun as described in the patent application filed on the same day as the present request by the holder and entitled: “Long gun for firing ammunition at strong impulse ".
  • the material 11 contained in its envelope 7 can be separated from the support plate 3 and in this case be worn by the user, or be integrated into one of his clothes; these include applications such as bulletproof vests, sports equipment, gloves.
  • this device can be integrated on the gripping members of a jackhammer , or enter the composition of bucket seat, helmet.
