Receiver and collapsible buttstock for a firearm
First Claim
1. A receiver and collapsible buttstock, comprising:
- an integral stock connector component that extends from said receiver, proximate a buffer tube aperture of said receiver;
at least one extension rod/rail aperture formed through said integral stock connector component, wherein a longitudinal axis of each at least one extension rod/rail aperture is substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said receiver, wherein each extension rod/rail aperture is formed so as to slidably receive an extension rod/rail extending from a buttstock;
wherein said buttstock comprises an elongate portion of material extending from a top end to a bottom end, having a recessed channel formed in said top end of said buttstock;
wherein each extension rod/rail comprises a portion of material that extends from a first end to a second end, wherein a rod channel is formed along at least a portion of each extension rod/rail, and wherein each rod channel includes a rod dimple/detent formed at each terminating end of said rod channel;
a latch cover attached or coupled to said integral stock connector component, wherein said latch cover includes interior side walls defining a latch cover cavity formed so as to receive at least a portion of a latch therein, wherein said latch cover cavity extends to at least one rod/rail aperture formed therethrough, wherein each rod/rail aperture is formed so as to be aligned with a corresponding extension rod/rail aperture; and
wherein said latch extends from an engagement portion to a protrusion portion, wherein said latch is movable, along its longitudinal axis, between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein when said latch is in said engaged position, said protrusion portion urges at least one latch element into said rod/rail aperture a distance that allows each latch element to seat into said rod dimples/detents of each extension rod/rail, and wherein when said latch is in said disengaged position, said protrusion portion allows said at least one latch element to retract from said rod dimples/detents and into said rod channels of each extension rod/rail.

Abstract
A receiver having an integral stock connector component that extends along the receiver; two extension rod/rail apertures formed through the integral stock connector component, wherein each extension rod/rail aperture is formed so as to slidably receive an extension rod/rail extending from a buttstock, such that each extension rod/rail is slidably movable within one of the extension rod/rail apertures; wherein each extension rod/rail comprises a rod channel and two or more rod dimples/detents formed along the rod channel; and a latch that is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein when the latch is in the engaged position, a protrusion portion urges latch elements into the rod/rail apertures a distance that seats the latch elements into the rod dimples/detents, and wherein when the latch is in the disengaged position, the protrusion portion allows the latch elements to retract from the rod dimples/detents and into the rod channels.

17. A receiver and collapsible buttstock, comprising:
-
an integral stock connector component that extends from said receiver; at least one extension rod/rail aperture formed through said integral stock connector component, wherein said at least one extension rod/rail aperture is formed so as to slidably receive an extension rod/rail extending from a buttstock, such that said extension rod/rail is slidably movable within said at least one extension rod/rail aperture; wherein said buttstock comprises a recessed channel formed in an upper portion of said buttstock; wherein a rod channel is formed along at least a portion of said at least one extension rod/rail, wherein said rod channel includes a rod dimple/detent formed at each terminating end of said rod channel; and a latch cover attached or coupled to said integral stock connector component, wherein said latch cover includes interior side walls defining a latch cover cavity, wherein said latch cover cavity extends to at least one rod/rail aperture formed therethrough, wherein said at least one rod/rail aperture is formed so as to be aligned with said at least one extension rod/rail aperture and to slidably receive said at least one extension rod/rail; wherein said latch extends from an engagement portion to a protrusion portion, wherein said latch is movable, within said latch cover cavity, along its longitudinal axis, between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein when said latch is in said engaged position, said protrusion portion urges a latch element into said at least one rod/rail aperture a distance that seats said at least one latch element into said rod dimples/detents of said at least one extension rod/rail, and wherein when said latch is in said disengaged position, said protrusion portion allows said at least one latch element to retract from said rod dimples/detents and into said rod channel of said at least one extension rod/rail. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A method for manipulating a collapsible buttstock attached or coupled to a receiver, wherein the receiver comprises:
-
an integral stock connector component that extends from said receiver; at least one extension rod/rail aperture formed through said integral stock connector component, wherein said at least one extension rod/rail aperture is formed so as to slidably receive an extension rod/rail extending from a buttstock, such that said extension rod/rail is slidably movable within said at least one extension rod/rail aperture; wherein said buttstock comprises a recessed channel formed in an upper portion of said buttstock; wherein a rod channel is formed along at least a portion of said at least one extension rod/rail, wherein said rod channel includes a rod dimple/detent formed at each terminating end of said rod channel; and a latch cover attached or coupled to said integral stock connector component, wherein said latch cover includes interior side walls defining a latch cover cavity, wherein said latch cover cavity extends to at least one rod/rail aperture formed therethrough, wherein said at least one rod/rail aperture is formed so as to be aligned with said at least one extension rod/rail aperture and to slidably receive said at least one extension rod/rail; wherein said latch extends from an engagement portion to a protrusion portion, wherein said latch is movable, within said latch cover cavity, along its longitudinal axis, between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein when said latch is in said engaged position, said protrusion portion urges a latch element into said at least one rod/rail aperture a distance that seats said at least one latch element into said rod dimples/detents of said at least one extension rod/rail, and wherein when said latch is in said disengaged position, said protrusion portion allows said at least one latch element to retract from said rod dimples/detents and into said rod channel of said at least one extension rod/rail; the method comprising; urging said latch from said engaged position; manipulating said buttstock; and allowing said latch to return to said engaged position. - View Dependent Claims (20)
