Abstract

The invention concerns an adjustable recoil pad for a small arm, in particular, a rifle, with a base plate that can be adjustably affixed to a stock part of the small arm, a bottom plate which is adjustably mounted on the base plate, and at least one end part that can be affixed to the bottom plate. A simplified adjustment with a large number of adjustment possibilities is made possible in that the bottom plate is arranged so it can swivel about a transverse axis on a connecting piece, which is displaceably guided via guide elements on the base plate, and can be affixed in a desired position by at least one retaining screw.

Claims

1. Adjustable recoil pad for a small arm, in particular, a rifle, with a base plate, which can be adjustably affixed to a stock part of the small arm, a bottom plate, which is adjustably mounted on the base plate, and at least one end part that can be fixed to the base plate, wherein the bottom plate is arranged, so as to be able to swivel around a transverse axis on a connecting piece, which is guided in a displaceable manner via guide elements on the base plate and which can be fixed in a desired position by at least one retaining screw.

2. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 1, wherein the bottom plate contains a setscrew which is arranged above the transverse axis and of which the front end, by at least one compression spring is compressed between the base plate and the connecting piece, against a contact surface of connecting piece that is arranged above the transverse axis.

3. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 1, wherein the transverse axis is located above the middle axis of the bottom plate.

4. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 1, wherein the bottom plate comprises two lateral seating holes for the transverse axis.

5. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 1, wherein the guide elements for movably guiding the connecting piece on the base plate consist of a sliding block and a corresponding longitudinal slot in the base plate.

6. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 5, wherein the connecting piece can be fixed in a desired position by two retaining screws which can be screwed into threaded holes of the sliding block.

7. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 6, wherein the base plate is located on the stock part, constructed as a stock plate, in a manner so that it can be rotated and adjusted laterally, via upper and lower transverse slots and retaining screws.

8. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 7, wherein the stock part is firmly screwed to the rear side of a rear stock of the small arm.

9. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 1, wherein the end part is an end cap which can be affixed to the bottom plate.

10. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 9, wherein the end part can be affixed to the bottom plate via one or more spacers.

11. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 10, wherein aligned openings, in the end part, in at least one spacer, and in the bottom plate with at least one retaining screw, are provided for the access to the retaining screw from the outside in the end part.

12. Adjustable recoil pad according to claim 11, wherein openings, which align in the end part and in at least one spacer with the setscrew, are provided for access to the setscrew from the outside.
