Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte aux supports pour fusils, notamment de chasse, du type comportant une crosse dans sa partie postérieure, laquelle comprend deux surfaces d'appui, disposées aux deux extrémités de la crosse, la première, arrière, étant destinée à être appliquée contre l'épaule du tireur et la deuxième, avant, étant destinée à être soutenue par la main, dans la paume ou sur le dos, pour orienter le fusil avant de tirer.The present invention relates to supports for rifles, in particular of hunting, of the type comprising a butt in its posterior part, which includes two bearing surfaces, arranged at the two ends of the stick, the first, rear, being intended to be applied against the shooter's shoulder and the second, before, being intended to be supported by the hand, in the palm or on the back, to orient the rifle before firing.
Lorsque la charge de la cartouche est importante, la main supportant la deuxième surface d'appui subit un fort choc, pour le moins désagréable. Par ailleurs, lorsqu'un chasseur se trouve en présence d'un animal, il en résulte fréquemment une fébrilité engendrant des tremblements des doigts, préjudiciables à la visée.When the cartridge load is high, the hand supporting the second support surface undergoes a strong shock, to say the least unpleasant. Through elsewhere, when a hunter is in the presence of an animal, it results frequently feverishness causing trembling of the fingers, detrimental to the aim.
Le but de la présente invention est de pallier ces inconvénients. Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que le support selon l'invention comporte une portion annulaire de forme oblongue avec une ouverture centrale agencée pour permettre d'y glisser au moins deux doigts, réalisé en un matériau déformable élastiquement et muni, à sa périphérie et sur l'un des longs côtés, d'au moins deux protubérances disposées radialement et formant ensemble une gorge destinée à servir d'appui au fusil.The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks. This goal is achieved by the fact that the support according to the invention comprises a portion oblong shaped annular with a central opening arranged for allow at least two fingers to slide in, made of a deformable material elastically and provided, at its periphery and on one of the long sides, with at least two protrusions arranged radially and together forming a groove intended to serve as a support for the rifle.
Il a en effet été constaté qu'avec un support tel que revendiqué, le recul est fortement amorti, alors que le fait de relier les doigts ensemble réduit considérablement leur tremblement.It has in fact been observed that with a support as claimed, the decline is strongly cushioned, while connecting fingers together reduces considerably their tremor.
Afin d'assurer un bon amortissement du recul, tout en garantissant une bonne stabilité dans le positionnement, le matériau utilisé, avantageusement du caoutchouc, présente une dureté Shore A comprise entre 20 et 80, typiquement égale à 60. To ensure good recoil damping, while ensuring good stability in positioning, the material used, advantageously rubber, has a Shore A hardness between 20 and 80, typically equal to 60.
Les meilleures conditions de stabilité ont été obtenues avec un support dont l'ouverture est agencée pour recevoir trois doigts d'une main, et plus particulièrement l'index, le majeur et l'annulaire.The best stability conditions were obtained with a support whose the opening is arranged to receive three fingers of one hand, and more particularly the index, middle and ring fingers.
Lorsque le chasseur se trouve en position de tirer, il ne dispose pas nécessairement d'un appui lui permettant de poser sa main à plat. C'est pourquoi il est souhaitable de disposer de plusieurs gorges permettant de soutenir le fusil. Cela est possible lorsque le support comporte, en outre, deux autres protubérances sur au moins l'un des petits côtés, pour former une deuxième gorge d'appui.When the hunter is in the shooting position, he does not have necessarily a support allowing him to put his hand flat. It is why it is desirable to have several grooves allowing support the rifle. This is possible when the support also has two other protrusions on at least one of the short sides, to form a second support groove.
Afin de permettre l'usage d'un tel support, même par temps froid, celui-ci peut être directement intégré à un gant, de type à doigts, ou à un moufle.In order to allow the use of such a support, even in cold weather, it can be directly integrated into a glove, finger type, or a mitt.
La visée peut être améliorée en rendant le fusil plus facilement mobilisable sur son support, grâce au fait que le support comporte en outre, une pièce rapportée montée pivotante sur la portion annulaire et munie de deux protubérances définissant ensemble une gorge destinée à recevoir le fusil en appui.The aim can be improved by making the rifle more easily mobilized on its support, thanks to the fact that the support also comprises a part attached pivotally mounted on the annular portion and provided with two protrusions together defining a groove intended to receive the rifle in support.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, faite en regard du dessin annexé, dans lequel:
- Les figures 1 à 4 représentent un support selon l'invention, vu respectivement de face, de dessus, de côté et en perspective, et
- Les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues en perspective d'une variante de ce support.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 represent a support according to the invention, seen respectively from the front, from above, from the side and in perspective, and
- Figures 5 and 6 are perspective views of a variant of this support.
Le support représenté au dessin comporte essentiellement :
- une portion annulaire 10, définissant une ouverture centrale 12 agencée pour recevoir les doigts du tireur,
- des protubérances de forme allongée portant les
références 14 à 19, disposées radialement et orientées dans le même sens que les doigts, et - deux
bossages 20 et 21 disposés sur le côté opposé à celui comportant lesprotubérances 16 et 17, orientées perpendiculairement auxprotubérances 14 à 19 et définissant unecuvette 22, visible sur la figure 3.
- an
annular portion 10, defining acentral opening 12 arranged to receive the shooter's fingers, - protrusions of elongated shape bearing the
references 14 to 19, arranged radially and oriented in the same direction as the fingers, and - two
20 and 21 arranged on the opposite side to that comprising thebosses 16 and 17, oriented perpendicular to theprotrusions protrusions 14 to 19 and defining abowl 22, visible in FIG. 3.
Les protubérances 14 à 19 définissent, deux à deux, trois gorges 24 à 26 (figure
1), l'une disposée sur la grande face de la portion annulaire, les autres sur
chacun des petits côtés. Ces gorges 24 à 26 et la cuvette 22 sont destinées à
servir de guide et d'appui à la crosse d'un fusil, comme cela sera expliqué plus
loin.The
Ce support est avantageusement formé d'un matériau déformable élastiquement et présentant une grande aptitude à l'amortissement, par exemple un caoutchouc commercialisé par la maison BIWI SA (Suisse) sous la référence EKP 020 65 04 qui présente une dureté de l'ordre de 65 Shore A, ou encore celui décrit dans le document US 4,054,604 dont la dureté est comprise entre 20 et 30 Shore A.This support is advantageously formed of an elastically deformable material and having a high damping capacity, for example a rubber marketed by BIWI SA (Switzerland) under the reference EKP 020 65 04 which has a hardness of around 65 Shore A, or that described in the document US 4,054,604 whose hardness is between 20 and 30 Shore A.
L'ouverture 12 présente la forme de trois portions cylindriques disposées côte à
côte, sans paroi intermédiaire et chacune destinée à recevoir un doigt, et plus
particulièrement l'index, le majeur et l'annulaire d'une main.The
De manière avantageuse, et comme on peut le voir sur le dessin, les deux bords
de l'ouverture 12 et les bords extérieurs sont respectivement munis de lèvres 28
et 30, qui confèrent une plus grande souplesse au support, le rendant ainsi plus
confortable.Advantageously, and as can be seen in the drawing, the two edges
of the
Un tel support peut facilement être mis en place. Il est agencé de manière à ce qu'il vienne prendre appui contre les espaces interdigitaux et recouvre les premières phalanges. Les articulations des doigts ne sont donc pas limitées, si bien que la manipulation du fusil n'est en rien affectée. Such a support can easily be put in place. It is arranged so that come and take support against the interdigital spaces and cover the first phalanges. The finger joints are therefore not limited, if although the handling of the rifle is not affected in any way.
Lorsque le tireur dispose d'un point d'appui, il y pose sa paume, serrant par
exemple une branche, ou posant sa main sur un mur, le dos de la main tourné
vers le haut ou le côté. De la sorte, l'une des gorges 24 à 26 est sensiblement
orientée vers le haut, prête à supporter la crosse du fusil dans sa portion
opposée à celle devant prendre appui contre l'épaule. De la sorte, la main munie
du support selon l'invention est parfaitement stabilisée. De plus, la gorge dans
laquelle repose l'extrémité de la crosse assure son guidage, sans pour autant
empêcher des mouvements de pivotement, permettant de suivre la proie.When the shooter has a fulcrum, he places his palm there, squeezing
example a branch, or putting his hand on a wall, the back of the hand turned
up or sideways. In this way, one of the
Si le tireur se trouve debout, en rase campagne ne disposant pas d'appui, il peut
tenir le fusil la paume tournée vers le haut et l'extrémité de la crosse disposée
dans la cuvette 22, les doigts entourant ou non la crosse. Dans cette position, le
support ne gêne pas à la visée et participe à l'amortissement du recul.If the shooter is standing, in the open countryside with no support, he can
hold the rifle with the palm facing up and the end of the stock
in the
Un tel support est utilisable à main nue, mais il peut aussi, sans autre être intégré à un gant ou à un moufle.Such a support can be used with bare hands, but it can also, without being integrated into a glove or mitt.
Le support, tel qu'il vient d'être décrit, est susceptible de nombreuses variantes,
sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. La portion annulaire 10 peut
ainsi être fendue sur un de ses côtés, de manière à permettre une mise en place
latérale, sur un gant par exemple. De manière avantageuse, le support sera alors
muni d'un organe d'accrochage, par exemple une fixation à cran ou une bande
connue sous le nom de Velcro ®.The support, as just described, is susceptible to numerous variations,
without departing from the scope of the invention. The
Pour que le support reste disponible, sans pour autant que le tireur ne le garde à sa main, il est avantageusement muni d'une boucle permettant de le passer au poignet, ou d'une ganse pour le fixer sur la bride du fusil.To keep the support available, without the shooter keeping it his hand, it is advantageously provided with a loop making it possible to pass it to the wrist, or a strap to fix it on the rifle flange.
Dans la variante représentée aux figures 5 et 6, les protubérances 16 et 17 sont
solidaires d'une pièce rapportée 32, montée mobile en rotation sur un cran
cylindrique 34 solidaire de la portion annulaire 10. Il est ainsi possible d'avoir
une gorge 25 plus étroite, dans laquelle la crosse est logée sans jeu, la pièce
mobile 32 pivotant avec le fusil lors de la visée.In the variant shown in Figures 5 and 6, the
