Definitions

  • the present invention is generally related to air guns, and more particular to an electric air gun's buttstock providing adjustment to fit various users.
  • Taiwan Utility Model Application Serial No. 099220984 teaches an air gun containing a gun body and a buttstock.
  • the buttock contains a cheek support assembly containing a cheek support member and a frame engaging the buttstock.
  • the cheek support member is adjustable so as to be more ergonomic. But as mentioned above, this air gun is still not universally applicable to all users.
  • US 2008/236016 A1 constitutes the starting point for the invention; it discloses an adjustable butt stock comprising a first rotatory wheel to move a cheek support cover upward or downward and a second rotatory wheel to move a butt unit outward or inward.
  • Taiwan Utility Model M410210 U discloses an adjustable butt stock comprising a barrel that is provided with positioning slots and a butt is movably coupled to the barrel by having a movable pin selectively engaging with the positioning slots.
  • a cheek support is movably mounted to the butt stock by having a retention tenon selectively engaging positioning sections provided on the cheek support.
  • US Patent Application No. 2014/0360074 A1 discloses a butt stock assembly that comprises a position-adjustable cheek piece and an adjustable butt plate.
  • the buttstock for an electric air gun contains a main unit, a connection unit configured to a front end of the main unit, a detachable and adjustable butt unit configured to a rear edge of the main unit, and a cheek support unit that can be raised or lower along a top edge of the main unit.
  • the connection unit can be telescoped out of the main unit and the butt unit that is configured to the rear edge of the main unit has a butt member that can also be extended backward for different distance so as to suit users of various arm lengths.
  • the cheek support unit on the other hand can be raised to various heights so that users of different neck lengths can more comfortably operate the electric air gun.
  • a buttstock of an electric air gun mainly contains a main unit 1, a connection unit 2 plugged into a front end of the main unit 1, a cheek support unit 3 joined to a top edge of the main unit 1, and a butt unit 4 joined to a rear edge of the main unit 1.
  • the main unit 1 contains a tubular section 11 as an upper portion, a first section 13 and a second section 14 jointly as a lower portion beneath the tubular section 11.
  • the tubular section 11 has an exposing middle segment 12, a trough 15 beneath a front segment of the tubular section 11, and an upward extending positioning hole 16 penetrating through the trough 15 into the tubular section 11.
  • the main unit 1 further contains a front element having a lateral piece 18 and a ring 17 perpendicularly joined to a front end of the lateral piece 18.
  • the front element is plugged into the trough 15, and has a through hole 181 aligned with the positioning hole 16.
  • connection unit 2 is for connection with the electric air gun, and contains a tubular body 21 with a number of positioning notches 211 along a bottom edge of the tubular body 21.
  • the connection unit 2 is slidably plugged into the tubular section 11 of the main unit 1, and a bolt 22 runs through the positioning hole 16, the through hole 181, and into one of the positioning notches 211 so as to lock the connection unit 2.
  • the connection unit 2 allows a user to adjust the buttstock's length so as to fit his/her arm length.
  • the second section 14 of the main unit 1 is plugged into the first section 13.
  • the first and second sections 13 and 14 have positioning holes 19 and 144, and through openings 131 and 141, respectively.
  • the positioning holes 19 and 144, and through openings 131 and 141 are aligned.
  • the second section 14 is fixedly joined to the first section 13 by running fasteners 191 and 192 correspondingly through the positioning holes 19 and 144, and applying a bolt 193 to lock the fasteners 191 and 192.
  • A-rotatory wheel 5 is configured in a space formed by the aligned openings 131 and 141.
  • the cheek support unit 3 contains a saddle-like cover 31, and a threaded shaft 313 beneath the cover 31.
  • the cheek support unit 3 is joined to and covers the exposing middle segment 12 of the tubular section 11.
  • the shaft 313 as such penetrates through a through hole 142 on a top side of the second section 14, into the opening 141, and axially through the rotatory wheel 5.
  • the cover 31 is adjusted to move upward or downward.
  • the butt unit 4 contains a front member 41 and a butt member 42.
  • the butt member 42 contains a buffer piece 421 and a rear cap 422.
  • the front member 41 has a forward protruding tubular element 43, a stopping element 44 beneath the tubular element 43, both in a top portion of the front member 41, and a forwardly open through hole 45 in a bottom portion.
  • a shaft 46 is received through the tubular element 43, the buffer piece 421, and the rear cap 422.
  • a bolt 47 is joined to a rear end of the shaft 46 so as to securely lock the buffer piece 421 and the rear cap 422 of the butt unit 4 together.
  • the first section 13 has a locking hole 132 above the positioning hole 19, and a bolt 48 is threaded through the locking hole 132 and the stopping element 44.
  • the bolt 48 has a notch 481 in the middle, thereby forming a semi-circular cross-section.
  • the notch 481 interfaces with the stopping element 44.
  • a threaded shaft 60 is received through the through hole 45, the buffer piece 421, and the rear cap 422, and a bolt 47 is joined to a rear end of the shaft 60.
  • a front end of the shaft 60 runs axially through a rotatory wheel 6 positioned in an indentation 143 along a rear side of the second section 14 when the butt unit 4 is mounted to the main unit 1. By turning the rotatory wheel 6, the butt member 42 can be moved forward or backward so as to fit users of different arm lengths.
  • the shaft 46 has a hook 461 on a front end and, as the butt member 42 is moved backward to an extent, the shaft 46 is moved backward as well and the hook 461 engages a limiting element 431 on an inner wall of the tubular element 43 so as to prevent the butt member 42 from being extended too much.
  • connection unit 2 can be telescoped out of the main unit 1 and the butt member 42 can also be extended backward for different distance so as to suit users of various arm lengths.
  • the cheek support unit 3 on the other hand can be raised to various heights so that users can more comfortably operate the electric air gun.
  • the adjustment of the extension unit is as follows. Firstly, the bolt 22 is released and the tubular body 21 can be pulled out or pushed in for an appropriate distance. Then, the bolt 22 is fastened into an appropriate positioning notch 211.
  • the adjustment of the butt unit is as follows.
  • the turning of the rotatory wheel 6 drives the shaft 60 to move forward or backward, along with the butt member 42 (including the buffer piece 421 and the rear cap 422) so as to fit users of different arm lengths.
  • a predetermined rotation direction such as clockwise
  • turning the rotatory wheel 6 in an opposite rotation direction such as counterclockwise
  • the hook 461 of the shaft 46 will be stopped by the limiting element 431 so as to prevent the butt member 42 from too much extension and falling off.
  • the detachment of the butt unit is as follows.
  • the bolt 48 is turned until its notch 481 escapes the confinement of the stopping element 44, the entire butt unit 4 can be pulled and separated from the main unit 1.
  • the bolt 48 is turned so that its notch 481 interferes with the stopping element 44, the butt unit 44 cannot be separated from the main unit 1 and can only be adjusted by turning the rotatory wheel 6.
  • This convenient detachment of the butt unit 4 allows a user to speedily replace or maintain components such as fuse or battery inside the butt unit 4 or in the main unit 1.
  • the adjustment of the cheek support unit is as follows.
  • the shaft 313 is driven to raise or lower the cheek support unit 3 upward or downward so as to fit users of various neck lengths.
  • the ribs 311 and the notches 121 jointly provide a number of reliable positions for the cheek support unit 3.
  • the hooks 122 and the blocks 312 jointly prevent the cheek support unit 3 from being raised to high and fall off.
