Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a recoil pad embodiment for use with all types of rifles,
including rifles, smoothbore rifle, air rifles and firearms rifles and non-firearms
rifles, which are fired by resting the rifle on the shoulder.
[0002] In particular, the invention relates to a recoil pad embodiment which reduces the
load on the shoulder during firing and prevents the rifle from muzzle climb.
State of the Art
[0003] Rifles used as hunting and combat weapons are fired by resting them on the shoulder
of the user. This is the most common and well-known type. All rifles, from military
rifles to hunting rifles, have a stock embodiment as standard.
[0004] In the present applications, there is a recoil pad made of soft or hard plastic at
the rear of the stock (the part that comes in contact with the shoulder). Technically,
the recoil pad allows the absorption of the recoil generated during the firing of
the rifle on the shoulder. During this absorption, a significant load is exerted on
the user's shoulder. If the rifle is fired repeatedly or if the rifle is fired without
being fully seated on the shoulder, this load causes pain in the user's shoulder area
and even serious damage to the user's body. Also, as a result of the serious pressure
on the shoulder, the tip of the rifle to muzzle climb. As a result of this muzzle
climb, the bullet coming out of the rifle may deviate from the target and the shots
may be unsuccessful. For this reason, it became necessary to eliminate the problems
experienced during the firing of rifles in the known state of the art.
[0005] In the search conducted in the literature, the document numbered
TR2022/006061 can be cited as an example of the known state of the art. The document is about the
stock with an angled movable recoil pad. In said invention, a recoil pad is mentioned,
which is connected to the recoil pad bearings formed in the main body of the stock
by means of fixing elements and movement elements, and whose horizontal distance is
adjusted at an angle relative to the main body of the stock within the recoil pad
bearings. The recoil force during shooting is reduced by the angled movement of the
recoil pad relative to the stock body. However, a mechanism is required for the angled
movement of the recoil pad on the main body of the stock, which increases production
and assembly costs. In addition, the force generated during the shot is tried to be
reduced by the recoil pad , which is adjusted at an angle according to the physical
characteristics of the user. On the other hand, it is not possible to use the said
stock on all types of rifles.
[0006] The document numbered
US2010242328 can be cited as another example of the known state of the art. The document relates
to a stock. In the said invention, a portable stock comprises a stock body with an
intermediate pipe holder and a firearm intermediate pipe slidably mounted on the intermediate
pipe holder, and the stock moves in a linear reciprocating motion relative to the
intermediate pipe during the firing of the weapon. The recoil absorbing mechanism
is placed inside the stock body and connected to the intermediate pipe. The locking
pin is positioned on the stock body and is associated with the intermediate pipe.
The stock body is adjusted for reciprocating motion during firing of the weapon. However,
due to the use of a mechanism in the stock, production and assembly costs are high.
In addition, the force generated during firing is attempted to be minimized by the
recoil pad , which is adjusted at an angle according to the physical characteristics
of the user. On the other hand, it is not possible to use the said stock on all types
of rifles.
[0007] Therefore, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the existing
solutions necessitated a development in the relevant technical field.
Object of the Invention
[0008] The present invention relates to a recoil pad embodiment for rifles, which eliminates
the disadvantages mentioned above and provides new advantages in the related technical
field.
[0009] The main object of the invention is to provide a recoil pad embodiment which reduces
the load on the shoulder during firing and prevents the rifle from muzzle climb.
[0010] The object of the invention is to provide a recoil pad embodiment that reduces the
impact during shooting by means of the air-containing silicone embodiment between
the stock and the recoil pad , and minimizes pain or injury to the user's shoulder
or body due to the reduction of the pressure on the user's shoulder.
[0011] Another object of the invention is to provide a recoil pad embodiment which minimizes
the problem of the rifle's muzzle climb and enables the bullet to reach the target
more accurately by reducing the pressure generated during firing.
[0012] Another object of the invention is to provide a recoil pad embodiment which can be
mounted and dismounted on all kinds of rifles, and thus can be presented to users
in a disassembled manner.
[0013] Another object of the invention is to provide a recoil pad embodiment which can pump
air into the air silicone side of the stock manually with the help of a valve depending
on the lack of air in the air silicone in case of need, and to increase the comfort
of the user.
[0014] In order to achieve all the objects mentioned above and those which may arise from
the detailed description, the invention relates to a recoil pad embodiment, comprising
the stock (10) which is the part of the rifle which rests on the shoulder of the user,
that is used in all kinds of rifles, including rifles or smoothbore rifles, air rifles
and firearms rifles and non-firearms rifles, which are fired by resting the rifle
on the shoulder and characterized by comprising the following,
- a recoil pad that can be attached to and detached from the rear end of the stock and

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0018] In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives of the recoil pad embodiment
(100) of the invention are described solely for the purpose of a better understanding
of the subject matter and without any limiting effect.
[0019] Figure 1 shows a disassembled view of the recoil pad embodiment (100) according to
the invention. Accordingly, in its most basic form, the recoil pad embodiment (100)
comprises a stock (10) forming the part of the rifle (200) resting on the shoulder
of the user, a recoil pad (20) which can be attached to and detached from the rear
end of the stock (10) and which enables the stock (10) to fit on the shoulder, pneumatic
silicon (30), which can be attached to and detached from the stock (10) together with
the recoil pad (20) and which contains air to reduce the load on the shoulder during
firing and to prevent the rifle from muzzle climb , valve (40) on the pneumatic silicon
(30) and which allows air to be pumped into the pneumatic silicon (30), valve cap
(50) which is placed on the valve (40).
[0020] The stock (10), which forms the main structure of the recoil pad embodiment (100)
of the invention, constitutes the part of all kinds of rifles (200) resting on the
shoulder of the user, including rifles or smoothbore rifles, air rifles and firearms
rifles and non-firearms rifles. At the rear end of the stock (10), there is a recoil
pad (20) which can be attached to and detached from the stock (10). The said recoil
pad (20) is the part that allows the stock (10) to be set on the shoulder.
[0021] As can be seen in Figure 2, a pneumatic silicone (30) containing air is joined to
the front side of the recoil pad (20) which joins with the stock (10), preferably
by injection molding method in a leak-proof manner. Thus, as shown in Figure 3, the
pneumatic silicone (30) and the recoil pad (20) are made monolithic. The pneumatic
silicone (30) can be attached to and detached from the stock (10) together with the
recoil pad (20).
[0022] As can be seen in Figure 4, the pneumatic silicone (30), which is located between
the stock (10) and the recoil pad (20) by attaching recoil pad (20) to the stock (10),
reduces the load on the user's shoulder by reducing the impact during the shot thanks
to the air which is contained inside and prevents the rifle (200) from muzzle climb
.
[0023] A valve (40) which allows air to be pumped into the pneumatic silicone (30) may preferably
be located on the pneumatic silicone (30), and a valve cap (50) may be closed on the
valve (40) to prevent the air from escaping from the valve (40). Thus, in case of
need, depending on the lack of air in the pneumatic silicone (30), the user can remove
the valve cap (50) and manually pump air into the side of the stock (10) where pneumatic
silicone (40) is located, by means of the valve (40) and increase the user comfort.
[0024] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the recoil pad embodiment (100) can
also be used without the valve (40) and valve cap (50) on the pneumatic silicone (30),
as shown in Figure 5.
[0025] The assembly and use of the recoil pad embodiment (100) of the invention is as follows;
[0026] The recoil pad (20), which has a monolithic structure with pneumatic silicone (30),
is attached to the stock (10) and the stock (10) is attached to the rifle (200), as
shown in Figure 6.
[0027] The pneumatic silicone (30) located between the stock (10) and the recoil pad (20),
reduces the load on the user's shoulder and prevents the rifle (200) from muzzle climb
, by reducing the impact during the shot thanks to the air inside.
[0028] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the recoil pad (20) is detached from
the stock (10) depending on the lack of air in the pneumatic silicone (30), and after
detaching the valve cap (50) from the pneumatic silicone (30), air is pumped into
the pneumatic silicone (40) side of the stock (10) manually by means of the valve
(40). Then the valve cap (50) is replaced on the valve (40) and the recoil pad (20)
is attached to the stock (10) and the rifle (200) is made ready for use.
