Adjustable Cheek Rest Bracket for Composite Rifle Stocks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cheek rest connection devices face challenges when attaching to rifle stocks made of composite materials, as they often require substantial alterations and are not adaptable to varying internal space dimensions, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
A connection device featuring adjustable connection brackets and a locking block system with interchangeable adjusting blocks, allowing for precise fitting and adjustment within the internal space of composite rifle stocks, including a mechanism for securing the cheek rest with screws and locking elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If known types of cheek rests are connected to composite rifle stocks with internal spaces, then the connection is achieved, but the design is not adaptable to varying internal space dimensions and requires substantial alterations
Solution Approach 1:
The connection device incorporates adjustable components that allow the bracket to be adapted to different internal space dimensions within the rifle stock. The adjustable nature enables the same device to fit varying stock designs without requiring substantial alterations to the stock itself, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and ease of manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention allows for adjustment of key parameters such as bracket position, angle, and dimensions to match the specific internal space of different rifle stocks. This parameter adjustability enables universal application across varying stock designs while minimizing alterations required, directly addressing the technical contradiction.
2Ease of operation
If cheek rests are mounted on existing rifle stocks, then the functionality is added, but the process is expensive and time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The connection device is designed to be pre-assembled with adjustable components configured to match the rifle stock's internal space before installation. This preliminary configuration reduces the time and complexity of the mounting process, making it both easier and faster to install while maintaining proper functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection device is divided into modular segments including adjustable brackets and locking mechanisms that can be independently positioned and secured. This segmentation allows for quicker assembly and adjustment during mounting, reducing the overall time required while improving ease of operation.
3Stability of the object's composition
If intermediate partitions are present in the internal space, then structural integrity is maintained, but connection of cheek rests becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The connection device is designed to accommodate intermediate partitions by allowing local adjustment of bracket positions and angles. The adjustable components can be positioned to work around or alongside partitions, maintaining structural integrity while enabling successful connection without excessive device complexity.
