The top surface of each flange is coplanar width and blends into top surface 28 ofbody portion 20.First end 19 andsecond end 21 offirst rail member 16 each include an aperture 34 (FIG. 3) extending intobody portion 20. - The
second rail member 18 includes afirst end 36 and asecond end 38.Second rail member 18 is defined by abottom surface 40,sidewall surfaces 42 and atop surface 44.Second rail member 18 also includes an elongated, longitudinally extending, downwardly openingchannel 46 that slidably receivesfirst rail member 16 therein. Channel 46 includes amain channel section 48 configured to slidably receivebody portion 20 offirst rail member 16 therein, and a pair of outwardly extendingside channel sections 50 adapted to slidably receiveflanges 22 offirst rail member 16 therein.Second rail member 18 also includes a receivingrail 56 that includes a pair of substantially triangularly shapedmounting flanges 58 extending outwardly fromsidewall surface 42 and juxtaposed acrosssecond rail member 18. Receivingrail 56 is adapted to slidably receive a sight mount thereon as described below. A plurality of gaps ornotches 60 along receivingrail 46 andtop surface 44 ofsecond rail member 18 divides receivingrail 56 into a plurality of sections, thereby allowing for mid-length mounting ofgun sight 12 as described below. - The
dampening device 10 also includes afirst stop member 64 and asecond stop member 66 located withinchannel 46 nearfirst end 36 ofsecond rail member 18 andsecond end 38 ofsecond rail member 18, respectively. Eachstop member first rail member 16. Eachstop member locking screw 70 therein, thereby fixing eachstop member channel 46 when eachlocking screw 70 abuts a sidewall thereof. In assembly,locking screws 70 may be accessed withinchannel 46 ofsecond rail member 18 via a pair ofapertures 72 extending fromsidewall surface 42 tochannel 46 ofsecond rail member 18. - The
dampening device 10 also includes a pair ofrecoil dampening members 74 juxtaposed along the length offirst rail member 16 and located withinapertures 34 located at the ends thereof. In the illustrated example, dampeningmembers 74 includes a pair of coil springs, however, other elastically deformable material capable of absorbing the recoil as generated byfirearm 14 may be utilized. - In assembly,
mounting hardware 76 are located within a plurality ofcountersunk apertures 78 extending from top surface 28 tobottom surface 24 offirst rail member 16 and affixedfirst rail member 16 tofirearm 14.Second rail member 18 is slidably connected withfirst rail member 16 such thatfirst rail member 16 is located withinchannel 46 ofsecond rail member 18.Dampening members 74 are located withinapertures 34 offirst rail members 16 and held in place when stopmembers channel 46 ofsecond rail member 18 and affixed thereto as described above. - The sight mount60 (FIG. 3 and 4) includes a pair of
holding mechanisms 80 adapted to securely hold a gun sight such as ascope 82 securely therein. It should be noted thatholding mechanisms 80 may include any structure capable of fixedly holding a gun sight such asscope 82 while mating with a “picatinny-style” rail. As illustrated,sight mount 60 also includes a downwardly extendingattachment arm 84.Attachment arm 84 includes a longitudinally extendingchannel 86 having a cross-sectional geometry that slidably receivesreceiving rail 56 therein. The width ofarm 84 is provided such thatarm 84 can be received withinnotches 62 between each section of receivingrail 56, thereby allowingsight mount 60 and the associated gun sight such asscope 82 to be mounted upondampening device 10 by slidably attachingarms 84 ofsight mount 60 with receivingrail 56 ofsecond rail member 18 without requiringsight mount 60 to be slid the entire length ofsecond rail member 18. Eacharm 84 includes anaperture 88 adapted to threadably receive a locking screw (not shown) therein, to affixsight mount 60 tosecond rail member 18. - In operation, recoil generated by the operation of
firearm 14 is lessened or eliminated as the dampeningmembers 74 absorb the recoil from betweenfirst rail members 16 andsecond rail member 18 in effect increasing the amount of dissipation time for the acceleration/deceleration forces as exerted by the firearm (14 onto thegun sight 12, typically occurring during the first 1.5 to 2 milliseconds subsequent to discharge of thefirearm 14. Specifically, a recoil force in a direction indicated byarrow 90 is exerted ondampening device 10 when a charge withinfirearm 14 is detonated, thereby causing the compression offirst dampening member 74 betweenfirst stop member 64 andfirst rail member 16 asfirst rail member 16 slides rearwardly withinchannel 46 ofsecond rail member 18. Therecoil force 90 is absorbed by first dampeningmember 74, thereby lessening the amount ofrecoil force 90 as transmitted tosecond rail member 18 and thus the gun sight supported thereby such asscope 82. Areactionary recoil force 92 is exerted onto dampeningdevice 10 asfirearm 14 recoils away from the operator.Recoil force 92 causes a compression ofsecond dampening member 75 betweensecond stop member 66 andfirst rail member 16 asfirst rail member 16 slides forwardly withinchannel 46 ofsecond rail member 18. Therecoil force 92 as transmitted toscope 82 is again reduced by the compression of second dampeningmember 75. - The present inventive recoil dampening sight base provides a more durable sight base having an uncomplicated design that can be easily and quickly assembly without the use of specialized tools. The recoil dampening device is further capable of a long operating life, and is particularly well adapted for the proposed use as it is compatible with geometrical configurations such as the “picatinny-style” rail.
- In the foregoing description, it will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the concepts disclosed herein. Such modifications are to be considered as included in the following claims, unless these claims by their language expressly state otherwise.
