Abstract

A butt for rifles having a cheekpiece that can be adjusted both vertically and laterally.

Claims

1. A butt for rifles, comprising:

a main body provided with a top surface with a support having a threaded hole in an intermediate position between two side holes, each of said threaded hole and said two side holes extending in a height direction of said body;

a guide plate having two bolts inserted slidably into corresponding said two side holes of said support;

a block attached to said guide plate in a central position, said block having a lead screw screwable into said threaded hole for axial movement of said block relative to said threaded hole;

a cheek piece including a slide component having a central opening and a canal-shaped seat, said canal-shaped seat being open towards said support and oriented transversely to said cheek piece, said canal-shaped seat of said slide component being coupled in a sliding manner to said guide plate whereby said cheek piece is movable in height upon axial movement of said guide plate;

a register screw engaged with said block oriented transversely to said cheek piece and held in said central opening of said slide component in a position fixed relative to said slide component whereby upon rotation of said register screw, said slide component moves with respect to said guide plate for positioning said cheek piece laterally.

2. Butt for rifles according to claim 1, wherein said register screw allows for adjustment of said guide plate for transverse adjustment of said cheek piece regardless of a height position of said guide plate above said support.

3. Butt for rifles according to claim 1, wherein said main body top surface defines a longitudinally extending hollow, each of said cheek piece and said main body having graduate scales for indicating a height and lateral position of said cheek piece with respect to a reference index.

4. Butt for rifles according to claim 1, wherein said block includes a block threaded hole defined by a bushing, said bushing being made of plastic material, said block threaded hole for receiving said register screw.

5. Butt for rifles according to claim 1, wherein said lead screw has a round head coupled to said block for rotation with respect to said block, a through bore being formed in said main body for access to said lead screw;

and a through hole formed in one side of said cheek piece for access to said register screw.

6. Butt for rifles according to claim 1, further comprising access holes made in one side of said main body, said bolts being acted on by screws accessible through said access holes for locking said bolts in a position in said side holes.
