Definitions

  • the present invention regards an improved butt for a firearm, preferably for a gun, with greater capacity to adapt to the morphological and holding characteristics of the user of the aforementioned firearm.
  • the invention also regards a firearm, preferably a gun, comprising the aforementioned butt.
  • recoil is used to indicate the backward movement by the firearm upon firing.
  • recoil comprises two combined effects, the actual recoil, i.e. the equal and opposite force the firearm is subjected to with respect to the projectile, and the so-called “soaring” which instead consists in the rotational effect the firearm is subjected to with respect to the support surface.
  • Butts usually comprise a main support structure made of a single piece and suitable to be fixed to the rear end of the barrel and to the firing mechanism of the firearm.
  • a butt statically connected to a firearm and whose components are in turn statically associated to each other does not allow obtaining an efficient and quick adaptation of the butt and, generally, the firearm to the different morphological and holding characteristics of the different users.
  • Document US1384386 A describes a butt for firearm comprising a main support structure adapted to be integrally associated to the barrel and the firing mechanism of the firearm, a butt plate adapted to absorb the recoil generated by said firearm and means for coupling the main support structure to the butt plate in such a way to allowing the variation of the position of said butt plate with respect to said main support structure along the direction defined by the longitudinal development axis of said butt.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome all the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • one of the objects of the invention is to provide a universal type of firearm butt, i.e. capable of being adapted to the morphological and holding characteristics of any user of such firearm.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a firearm butt capable to allow implementing such adaptations in a quick and simple manner.
  • another object of the invention is to provide a firearm butt capable of modifying the mutual positions of the components thereof an unlimited number of times so as to be able to adapt the firearm to the morphological and holding characteristics of different users at different times.
  • the firearm butt subject of the invention comprises adjustable coupling means used for associating the main support structure to the butt plate so as to allow varying the position of the butt plate with respect to the aforementioned main support structure at least along the direction defined by the longitudinal development axis of the butt.
  • the butt of the invention advantageously offers a greater capacity to adapt to the morphological and holding characteristics of the single user. Further characteristics of the butt of the invention are outlined in the dependent claims.
  • the firearm butt of the invention is represented in figs. 1 to 5 where it is indicated in its entirety with 1.
  • the butt 1 of the invention is represented associated to a firearm 100, in particular a skeet shotgun 101.
  • the butt 1 of the invention as observable in fig. 2 , comprises a main support structure 2 suitable to be integrally associated to the barrel 102 and to the firing mechanism 103 of such firearm 100.
  • the butt 1 comprises a butt plate 3 suitable to absorb the recoil generated by the firearm 100 upon firing.
  • the connection between the butt plate 3 and the main support structure 2 of the butt 1 of the invention is obtained by coupling means 4.
  • such coupling means 4 are of the adjustable type so as to allow varying the position of the butt plate 3 with respect to the aforementioned main support structure 2 along the direction defined by the longitudinal development axis of the butt 1, indicated with arrow X in fig. 1 .
  • position adjustment along the aforementioned direction X allows adjusting the position of the butt plate 3 with respect to the main support structure 2 according to the morphological and holding characteristics of the user of the firearm 100.
  • the coupling means 4 comprise a male tubular element 5 associated to the butt plate 3 and a body 6 in which there is provided a female housing 7 with a substantially longitudinal development.
  • body 6, as observable in fig. 2 is preferably associated to the main support structure 2.
  • the aforementioned female housing 7 is provided with an inlet opening 71 which allows the slidable insertion of the male tubular element 5 into the female housing 7.
  • such female housing 7, on the opposite side of the aforementioned inlet opening 71 has a bottom 72, visible in fig. 5 , defining the maximum limit of insertion of the aforementioned male tubular element 5 into the female housing 7.
  • such bushing 8 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, commonly referred to as Teflon.
  • the male tubular element 5 could be associated to the main support structure 2, while the body 6, in which the aforementioned female housing 7 is defined, could be associated to the butt plate 3.
  • the particular embodiment of the coupling means 4 described above advantageously allows quick and simple adjustment of the position of the butt plate 3 with respect to the main support structure 2 of the butt 1.
  • the slidable coupling of the male tubular element 5 inside the female housing 7 allows obtaining a continuous adjustment of the aforementioned distance between the butt plate 3 and the main support structure 2 of the butt 1, thus allowing an accurate adjustment.
  • the body 6 comprises a slit 9 extending from the inlet opening 71 of the female housing 7 according to a direction substantially parallel to the development axis of the female housing 7, as represented in fig. 4 .
  • the body 6 comprises reversible compression means 10, configured to approach the walls 9a and 9b of the aforementioned slit 9 and, thus, for approaching the walls of the female housing 7 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the development axes of the slit 9 and of the female housing 7.
  • the aforementioned compression operation causes the reduction of the internal volume of the female housing 7, in which the male tubular element 5 is previously inserted and positioned.
  • the bushing 8 should also be provided with a slit 81 so as to confer an open ring-like shape to the bushing 8.
  • the compression means 10 are actuated to compress the female housing 7, also the faced walls 81a and 81b of the slit of such bushing 8 will be approached to each other.
  • such compression means 10 comprise a bolt system 11, in particular a screw 11a, arranged passing through a hole 12 defined on the body 6, transverse to the slit 9.
  • the threaded nut 11b of the aforementioned bolt system 11 is preferably obtained integrally joined to the body 6, at one end 12b of the aforementioned hole 12.
  • such threaded nut 11b could be provided separately with respect to the body 6 and coupled to the screw 11a at the end 12b of the hole 12 opposite to the end 12a in which the screw 11a is inserted.
  • such compression means 10 could be obtained differently with respect to the description above, as long as they can exert a compression pressure on the walls 9a and 9b of the aforementioned slit 9 and, thus, on those of the female housing 7, so as to statically reversibly couple the butt plate 3 to the main support structure 2 of the butt 1 of the invention.
  • the transverse sections of the male tubular element 5 and the female housing 7 are circularly shaped.
  • the latter characteristic not only allows the possibility to adjust the mutual position of the butt plate 3 and the main support structure 2 along the aforementioned direction X, but it also allows mutually rotating the aforementioned two elements, as indicated with arrow Y in fig. 3 .
  • further relative rotary movement adds a further degree of freedom to the possibility of adapting the butt 1 of the invention to the morphological and holding characteristics of the user of the firearm.
  • the cross sections of the male tubular element 5 and the female housing 7 be differently shaped with respect to the circular shape. Therefore, the rotation of the butt plate 3 with respect to the main support structure 2 is not allowed in these cases.
  • the body 6 according to the butt 1 of the invention, comprises a through hole 13 defined at the bottom 72 according to a development direction substantially parallel to the development axis of the female housing 7, as observable in the section of fig. 5 .
  • Such through hole 13 is configured to receive a micrometric screw 14 in turn suitable to be manoeuvred along the female housing 7 so as to define an adjustable end stop element, so as to limit the movement of the male tubular element 5 within the female housing 7.
  • the butt 1 of the invention preferably but not necessarily, foresees that the butt plate 3 be associated to the coupling means 4, in particular to the male tubular element 5, by means of an adjustment unit 15 configured to allow varying the inclination of the butt plate 3 with respect to the main support structure 2, as indicated with arrow Z in fig. 1 .
  • an adjustment unit 15 configured to allow varying the inclination of the butt plate 3 with respect to the main support structure 2, as indicated with arrow Z in fig. 1 .
  • the butt 1 of the invention further comprises a cheek piece 16 connected to the main support structure 2 through second coupling means 17 of the adjustable type, so as to allow varying the position of the cheek piece 16 with respect to the aforementioned main support structure 2.
  • a cheek piece 16 connected to the main support structure 2 through second coupling means 17 of the adjustable type, so as to allow varying the position of the cheek piece 16 with respect to the aforementioned main support structure 2.
  • such characteristic allows attaining a further degree of adjustment freedom of the butt 1 of the invention, thus increasing the capacity of the butt 1 to adapt to the morphological and holding characteristics of the user of the firearm 100 also in this case.
  • the cheek piece 16 be not present or integrally connected to the aforementioned main support structure 2.
  • the firearm 100 preferably a gun 101, comprising a barrel 102, a firing mechanism 103 and a butt 1 having the characteristics of the preferred embodiment or of the alternative embodiments described above, is also part of the invention.
  • a gun 101 preferably a skeet shotgun.
