The present invention pertains to a butt for rifles, including a main body and of a movable cheekpiece which is applied to the upper part of the said main body and is capable of both height and lateral displacements and positionings. The main body has a plate with two vertical holes. The cheekpiece has two stud bolts, which can be displaced in width and are intended to be inserted and to be locked in the holes. On the stud bolts are mounted spacer rings, which determine the height of the cheekpiece on the main body.
Description
- The present invention pertains to butts for rifles, and more particularly, a butt having a cheek support part with adjustable position, this part henceforth being called a cheekpiece.
- Butts for rifles having a cheekpiece with adjustable position, but in which the adjustment of the cheekpiece is carried out by acting on one or more adjusting screws, are already known. Their design is relatively complicated and expensive, and the adjustment of the cheekpiece is difficult.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a butt for rifles having a cheekpiece which is very simple and easy to adjust both in height and transversely for its precise adaptation to the conditions of sight and aiming of the rifle.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a butt for rifles having a cheekpiece, whose adjustment in height is simply carried out by applying spacer rings of varying thickness on the stud bolts between the butt and the cheekpiece, without having to resort to, and to operate, adjusting screws.
- The objects are achieved with a butt for rifles comprised of a main body and of a movable cheekpiece, which is applied to the upper part of the main body and is capable of both height and lateral displacement and positioning along stud bolts on a guide plate. Spacer rings of different thicknesses may be selectively arranged between the main body and the cheekpiece in order to calibrate the height of the cheekpiece above the main body of the butt, the spacer rings being applied to the stud bolts.
- The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated.
- In the drawings:
- Figure 1
- is an exploded perspective view of the two components of the butt and the spacer rings in a first embodiment of the present invention;
- Figure 2
- is a cross section of the butt in relation to the stud bolts supporting the cheekpiece;
- Figure 3
- is a longitudinal sectional view of the butt according to the line III-III in Figure 2;
- Figure 4
- is a plane view of the part of the device applied to the cheekpiece;
- Figure 5
- is an exploded perspective view of the two components of the butt and the spacer rings according to another embodiment of the present invention;
- Figure 6
- is a cross sectional view of the butt in Figure 1 when assembled; and
- Figure 7
- shows a partial longitudinal section of the butt according to the line VII-VII in Figure 6.
- The butt for rifles is comprised of a
main body 11 and of an additional component, called thecheekpiece 12. In its upper part, thebody 11 is provided with adepression 13, and thecheekpiece 12 is arranged in the depression with the possibility of adjustment both in height and in the direction of its width, that is, transversely. - According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1-4, attached longitudinally to the base of the
cheekpiece 12, by means ofscrews 14, is aguide plate 15, which lies above twocavities 16 made in the base. Theplate 15 is provided with twoslots 17, which are parallel to one another, are placed in relation to thecavities 16 and are directed transversely to the cheekpiece and thus transversely to the butt. Twoguide stud bolts 18, to which the cheekpiece is attached, are perpendicularly anchored to theplate 15. - Each of the stud bolts 18 (see Figures 2 and 3) is in the form of a tubular component and is axially passed through by an
anchorage screw 19. Thestud bolt 18 has a foot 18' that is inserted smoothly into arespective slot 17 of theplate 15, and theanchorage screw 19 has a head embedded in the head of the stud bolt and a shank which is screwed into anut 20, which is placed and held behind theplate 15 in acavity 16, without the possibility of rotating. - It is possible to lock and release the
stud bolts 18 on the plate by acting on theanchorage screws 19, which interact with therespective nuts 20. When the anchorage screws are released, eachstud bolt 18 can be displaced and positioned along therespective slot 17 in the direction transverse to the cheekpiece and relocked in the desired position. This makes it possible to adjust the lateral position of the cheekpiece, to the right or to the left (viewing Figure 2). A millimeter scale 15' (see Figure 4), which is inserted on the face of theplate 15 adjacently to eachslot 17, makes it possible to visualize the position of the stud bolt. - For its part, the
main body 11 has, in itsdepression 13, ametallic support 21, which is attached by means ofscrews 22. This support has twobushing sections 23, embedded in thebody 11, which define twoholes 24 with parallel axes and extending in the direction of the height of the butt. - The
holes 24 have a distance between centers, which is equal to that of thestud bolts 18, and they are dimensioned to accommodate same. A radial hole for a threadedbolt 25, which is accessible with an operating wrench through a lateral hole 11' provided in themain body 11, is made in thesupport 21 at the level of eachbushing section 23 with thehole 24. The threadedbolts 25 make it possible to lock and release thestud bolts 18, and to adjust, with thesebolts 25, the cheekpiece at any height above thebody 11. - In the embodiment shown in Figures 5-7, in which the same or similar parts are indicated with the same reference numbers, the
guide plate 15 and thesupport 21 are in inverted positions in the sense that theplate 15 is attached to the main body, and thesupport 21 is attached to the cheekpiece. Therefore, theplate 15 is attached, by means ofscrews 14, in the depression of thebody 11 above twocavities 16 provided in the bottom of the depression. Theplate 15 is again provided with twoslots 17, which are parallel to one another in relation to the twocavities 16 and are directed transversely to the butt. - Two
guide stud bolts 18, to which thecheekpiece 12 is attached, are perpendicularly anchored to theplate 15. - Each
stud bolt 18 is passed through axially by ananchorage screw 19. Thestud bolt 18 has a foot 18', which is smoothly inserted into arespective slot 17 of theplate 15, and theanchorage screw 19 has a head at the top of the stud bolt and a shank, which is screwed into anut 20, which is placed and held under theplate 15 in thecavity 16, without the possibility of rotating. - It is possible to lock and release the
stud bolts 18 on theplate 15 and thus to thebody 11 by acting on theanchorage screws 19. When the anchorage screws are released, eachstud bolt 18 can be displaced and positioned along therespective slot 17 and can be relocked in the desired position, which makes it possible to adjust the width position of the cheekpiece on the body. - The
metallic support 21 is attached to the base of the cheekpiece by means ofscrews 22. This support has twobushing sections 23, which define twoholes 24, which extend in the direction of the height of the butt, are parallel and are dimensioned to accommodate thestud bolts 18. A radial hole for a threadedbolt 25, which is accessible with an operating wrench through a lateral hole 12' made in thecheekpiece 12, is made in thesupport 13, at the level of eachbushing section 23 with thehole 24. The threadedbolts 25 make it possible to lock and release thecheekpiece 12 on thestud bolts 18 at any height along same. - In both embodiments, the
cheekpiece 12, in addition to being able to be positioned transversely, can be adjusted in height along thestud bolts 18. The height of thecheekpiece 12 above themain body 11 is controlled with the use ofspacer rings 26, which are of various thickness and are removably threaded on thestud bolts 18 in order to end up between theplate 15 and thesupport 21 of the cheekpiece. Therefore, by making use ofmore spacer rings 26 of different calibrated thicknesses and by using them selectively, it is possible to set into position from time to time, and to calibrate, the height of the cheekpiece, by then stabilizing its height by means of attaching the cheekpiece to the stud bolts by means of thelocking bolts 25. - Graduated
scales 27, 28 (Figure 7), which are inserted in the vertical direction on the rear of the cheekpiece and in the transverse direction on the main body of the butt, respectively, indicate the positions attributed to the cheekpiece from time to time. - While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
