Double air valve recoil dampener for firearms

Abstract

A pair of pistons with O-rings are mounted on a plate attach to an end of a butt of a firearm. A pair of cylinders for receiving the pistons are mounted on a plate attached to a shoulder pad and attached to the firearm by having the pistons inserted in the cylinders. An air release hole in a bottom plate of each cylinder communicates with an air outlet having an adjustable air valve to adjust the amount of damping of a recoil of the firearm.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to recoil reducers for firearms, and particularly to a double air valve recoil dampener for a gun stock which comprises two air pistons each set in a cylinder within the butt of the firearm. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] A problem that exists with firearms is the fact that many of them have a severe recoil that affects the person firing the weapon. In firearms such as shotguns and rifles, the rear end of the butt stock is positioned against the shooter's shoulder and the recoil often causes the shooter to raise the front of the firearm each time the weapon is fired. Recoil is detrimental to a shooter's accuracy and can result in bruising and pain to the shoulder of the person firing the weapon. [0005] Prior art devices do not adequately address the problem of providing a recoil dampener which is compact and maintains the appearance and normal functioning of a rifle or sh...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0027] An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a compact efficient recoil dampener for firearms with a double adjustable air cylinder attached to a rifle butt between the stock and the rubber shoulder pad, which maintains the appearance and normal functioning of a rifle or shotgun while absorbing the recoil effectively with adjustment capability to adjust for different firearms, shooting situations, and individuals and with instant recovery for rapid firing.

[0028] Another advantage of the present invention is that the balance of the firearm is not affected.

[0029] One more advantage of the present invention is that it provides smooth effective shock absorption to dampen the recoil.

[0030] An additional advantage of the present invention is that it prevents suction and backpressure for a fast return of the piston to the original position to enable rapid firing of the firearm.

[0031] A further advantage of the present invention is that it provides adjustment of the damping of the recoil.

[0032] An added advantage of the present invention is that it provides a large amount of recoil dampening with a short run of the piston in the cylinder to minimize the size of the device.

Problems solved by technology

A problem that exists with firearms is the fact that many of them have a severe recoil that affects the person firing the weapon.

In firearms such as shotguns and rifles, the rear end of the butt stock is positioned against the shooter's shoulder and the recoil often causes the shooter to raise the front of the firearm each time the weapon is fired.

Recoil is detrimental to a shooter's accuracy and can result in bruising and pain to the shoulder of the person firing the weapon.

Prior art devices do not adequately address the problem of providing a recoil dampener which is compact and maintains the appearance and normal functioning of a rifle or shotgun while absorbing the recoil effectively with adjustment capability to adjust for different firearms, shooting situations, and individuals.
