Definitions

the invention relates to a handheld firearm with an adjustable shoulder brace according to independent claim 1, that is seated in the firearm chassis using a pair of rods, slidingly mounted in a guide, wherein the current position of the shoulder brace is lockable by a locking mechanism that comprises a transversal locking element, seated vertically adjustably under the pair of arms wherein both the opposite ends of the locking element are guided in opposite corresponding vertical grooves formed in the firearm chassis and the locking element is biased by a spring towards the rods where at the bottom side of each of the rods, at least two spaced apart pairs of corresponding recesses are produced for snapping of the locking element and the locking element can be manually pushed out of the recesses by means of a control button.
a locking mechanism that comprises a transversal locking element, seated vertically adjustably under the pair of arms wherein both the opposite ends of the locking element are guided in opposite corresponding vertical grooves formed in the firearm chassis and the locking element is biased by a spring towards the rods where at the bottom side of each of the rods
Some handheld firearms are provided with a shoulder brace - butt - the length of which can be adjusted.
the reason for it is mainly a reduction of the firearm dimensions, which facilitates its carrying, storage or its entire usage.
the adjustment of different distances of the brace from the trigger also makes it possible to take into account different sizes of the figure or arm length of the particular user.
a number of known solutions use a tube that is attached to the firearm in a tilting way. A smaller pipe is slid into the tube, the entire shoulder brace being fixed to the pipe.
US2016069636 provides a state of the art releasable stock for a rifle.
An extensible shoulder brace is known e.g. from the documents DE3130562A1 , CN111457786 , US2020200505A , ES2751696 or US10527385 .
Every such telescopic shoulder brace enables adjustment of at least two positions - completely retracted, completely extended. It may further comprise various intermediate positions allowing the user to adjust the extension length as necessary in every particular case.
the firearm is fitted with a mechanism that is able to lock the butt in defined positions.
a transversal locking pin is used that is mounted vertically adjustably under the pair of arms of the shoulder brace. Both the opposite ends of the locking pin are guided in opposite corresponding vertical grooves formed in the firearm chassis.
the locking pin is biased by a spring towards the rods of the shoulder brace wherein at the bottom side of each of the rods at least two spaced apart pairs of corresponding recesses are arranged for snapping of the locking pin.
the locking pin is then directly controlled by the shooter with the use of a button.
the object of the invention is to propose such a shoulder brace structure that would not exhibit the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
the said object is achieved with a handheld firearm with an adjustable shoulder brace according to appended claim 1, that is seated in the firearm chassis using a pair of rods, slidingly mounted in a guide.
the current position of the shoulder brace is lockable by a locking mechanism that comprises a transversal locking element, seated vertically adjustably under the pair of arms. Both the opposite ends of the locking element are guided in opposite corresponding vertical grooves formed in the firearm chassis.
the locking element is biased by a spring towards the rods.
At the bottom side of each of the rods at least two spaced apart pairs of corresponding recesses are produced for snapping of the locking element and the locking element can be manually pushed out of the recesses by means of a control button.
the principle of the invention is that the locking element is attached to a carrier wherein the carrier is seated in the firearm chassis in a swinging way about an axis that is arranged in a hole in the firearm chassis between the rods.
An advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the inserted carrier makes it possible to distribute the shooting recoil into two nodes, namely via the opposite ends of the locking element to the opposite corresponding vertical grooves formed in the firearm chassis on the one hand, and to the seat of the carrier in the firearm chassis on the other hand. This facilitates the use of a plastic firearm chassis.
control button is vertically slidingly seated in the holder of the trigger mechanism and in the breech housing wherein a transversal pin that bears on the carrier from above passes through the control button.
FIG. 1 to 11 Individual structural assemblies of an embodiment example of a handheld firearm with an adjustable shoulder brace 7 and a locking mechanism according to the invention are shown in Figs. 1 to 11 .
the shoulder brace 7 has two rods 5 arranged next to each other that are seated in the firearm chassis 10 in a sliding way in a guide 17 (see e.g. Figs. 7, 8 and 9 ).
the current position of the shoulder brace 7 is lockable by a locking mechanism that, in the embodiment shown, comprises a transversal locking element 1, seated vertically adjustably under the pair of rods 5 in such a way that both the opposite ends of the locking element (1) are guided in the opposite vertical grooves 9 formed in the firearm chassis 10.
the locking element 1 is attached to a carrier 3 and the carrier 3 is mounted in the firearm chassis 10 in a swinging way about the axis 6, which is arranged in a hole 8 in the firearm chassis 10 between the rods 5 (see e.g. Figs 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 and 8 ).
the locking element 1 is biased, via the carrier 3 by a spring 4 towards the rods 5 wherein at the bottom edge of each of the rods 5, several spaced apart pairs of corresponding recesses 2 are formed that are arranged transversally against each other for snapping of the locking element 1.
the pairs of corresponding recesses 2 for snapping of the locking element 1 define the position of the shoulder brace with respect to the firearm. In the example shown, it is the "completely retracted” and “completely extended” position and several "intermediate positions”.
the spring 4 bears on a supporting pin 14 (see Figs. 10 and 11 ).
the locking element 1 can be pushed out of the recess 2 with the use of a control button 12 that acts on the carrier 3 against the direction of the action of the spring 4.
the control button 12 is seated in a vertically sliding way over the handle 11 in such a way that it passes through the holder 15 of the trigger mechanism and the housing 16 of the breech.
a transversal pin 13 is arranged that may bear on the protruding projections of the carrier 3 from above (see Figs. 10 and 11 ).
the control button 12 is pressed downwards (see Fig. 11 ) so that the transversal pin 13 compresses the protruding projections of the carrier 3 against the direction of the action of the spring 4, and the carrier 3 is thus tilted downwards about the axis 6 (see Fig. 2 ) and pushes the locking element 1 out of the respective pair of corresponding recesses 2 at the bottom edge of the rods 5. Then, the unlocked shoulder brace 7 can be extended or retracted as necessary.
