Abstract
A recoil dampening assembly includes a sleeve and an elastomeric member received within the sleeve. A piston and rod retain the elastomeric member within the sleeve, and the elastomeric member includes a plurality of cone-like wall portions that form inner and outer annular ring surfaces. When the elastomeric member is compressed, the outer annular surfaces frictionally engage the sleeve, and the inner annular surfaces frictionally engage the rod to thereby dampen a force generated during discharge of a firearm.
Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/515,858, filed on Oct. 30, 2003, entitled RECOILED DAMPENING ASSEMBLY, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a recoil dampening device, and in particular to a recoil dampening device for reducing the forces exerted onto a weapon system during the operation of the firearm.
- Recoil absorbing devices are used in a variety of applications within firearms to reduce the forces as exerted on various portions of the firearm as well as the operator. These recoil dampening devices typically include at least two or more parts movable with respect to one another and a recoil dampening device positioned so as to absorb the forces generated during operation of the firearm.
- Heretofore, recoil dampening devices have included multiple components that are difficult to assemble and/or require special tools for assembly and/or adjustment, thereby making assembly and adjustment of the recoil dampening devices difficult in high pressure situations. Also, such devices may lose their effectiveness in the harsh environments typically associated with military operations. Further, previous recoil dampening devices do not sufficiently reduce the recoil associated with heavy caliber firearms.
- One aspect of the present invention is a recoil absorbing device for firearms including an outer housing defining a cavity and a stop. A sleeve is disposed in the cavity of the housing, and the sleeve defines an interior surface and a stop at a first end of the sleeve. A rod has a first end connected to the sleeve, and the rod is disposed within the sleeve. A piston member is slidably connected to the rod adjacent a first end of the rod. A connector retains the piston member on the rod. The recoil absorbing device also includes an elastomeric member disposed within the sleeve with a first end adjacent the stop at the first end of the sleeve. The elastomeric member has a second end disposed adjacent the piston member. The elastomeric member defines at least one annular outer surface disposed adjacent the interior surface of the sleeve, and an annular inner surface disposed about the rod. The elastomeric member includes a generally conical sidewall extending from the annular outer surface to the annular inner surface, such that the elastomeric member deforms and frictionally engages the sleeve and the rod when a force is applied to the sleeve.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a recoil absorbing device for firearms including a sleeve defining an interior surface, and a rod movably interconnected to the sleeve for movement between extended and retracted positions relative to the sleeve. The recoil absorbing device also includes a resilient member having a first end operably connected to the sleeve and a second end operably connected to the rod. The resilient member has a tapered wall portion extending between an outer surface adjacent the interior surface of the sleeve, and an inner surface adjacent the rod. The outer surface shifts into contact with the interior surface of the sleeve, and the inner surface shifts into contact with the rod as the rod is moved from the extended position to the retracted position to thereby frictionally engage the sleeve and the rod and provide a force tending to act against movement to the retracted position.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention is a firearm including a fixed member and a bolt that shifts rearwardly along an axis relative to the fixed member upon firing of the firearm. A first member is attached to a selected one of the fixed member and the bolt, and a second member is fixed to the other of the fixed membrane and the bolt such that the first and second members shift relative to one another upon firing of the firearm. The firearm also includes a resilient member having a first surface adjacent the first member, and a second surface adjacent the second member. The resilient member has an angled portion extending between the first and second surfaces at a non-zero angle relative to the axis, such that the first surface frictionally engages the first member, and the second surface frictionally engages a second member when the first member shifts relative to the second member upon firing of the firearm.
- These and other features, advantages, and objects of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, claims, and appended drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a partially schematic view of a firearm according to one aspect of the present invention, including a recoil dampening assembly; -
FIG. 2 is a partially fragmentary view of the recoil dampening assembly of the firearm ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the recoil dampening assembly ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the recoil dampening assembly; and -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the resilient member of the recoil dampening assembly. - For purposes of description herein, the terms “upper,” “lower,” “right,” “left,” “rear,” “front,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” and derivatives thereof shall relate to the invention as oriented in
FIG. 1 . However, it is to be understood that the invention may assume various alternative orientations and step sequences, except where expressly specified to the contrary. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings and described in the following specification are simply exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts defined in the appended claims. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise. - A firearm 1 (
FIG. 1 ) includes abarrel 2,stock 3, and a bolt mechanism 4. Therecoil dampening assembly 10 is in contact with thebolt 5 of the mechanism 4 and to thestock 3, such that forces are transmitted from thebolt 5 through therecoil dampening assembly 10, and intostock 3 upon firing of the firearm 1. - Bolt mechanism 4 is biased forwardly by
main spring 6. Upon firing of the firearm 1,bolt 5 is shifted rearwardly, compressingmain spring 6. Therecoil dampening assembly 10 is positioned within ahousing 11, as is thebolt 5 andmain spring 6. Therecoil dampening assembly 10 includes acontrol sleeve 12 made of a carbon fiber material, and atitanium end cap 13 is secured to afirst end 14 of control sleeve 12 (see alsoFIG. 4 ). Thecap 13 andsleeve 12 may includethreads end cap 13 to thesleeve 12. Other suitable connecting arrangements may also be utilized to secure theend cap 13 to thesleeve 12. Apiston 17 is made of a lightweight structural plastic material, and is secured to arod 18 by ahard stop 19 and threaded retainingscrew 20.Hard stop 19 may be made of a hard elastomeric material having a durometer of at least 90, and retainingscrew 20 may be made of an aluminum material.Rod 18 may be made of a titanium material, and includes a threadedfirst end 21 that is received in a threadedopening 22 in anend cap 13. Thescrew 20 extends through clearance opening 23 inhard stop 19, and is received in threadedopening 24 ofrod 18. - During assembly, the elongated
cylindrical portion 27 ofrod 18 is slidably inserted through opening 28 in thebase wall 30 ofpiston 17, until theside surface 25 ofhead 26 ofrod 18 contacts theinner surface 29 ofbase wall 30 ofpiston 17. Thus, thehead 26 ofrod 18,hard stop 19, andscrew 20 are slidably positioned within thecylindrical cavity 31 ofpiston 17 when assembled. The elongatedcylindrical portion 27 ofrod 18 extends throughelastomeric member 35, and thefirst end 21 ofrod 18 is threadably received in the threadedopening 22 ofend cap 13. Thus, when assembled, forces “F” (FIG. 3 ) that are applied to thepiston 17 andend cap 13 will tend to compress theelastomeric member 35. However,piston 17 cannot travel outwardly beyond the position illustrated inFIG. 3 because it is retained withinsleeve 12 byrod 18. - With further reference to
FIG. 5 ,elastomeric member 35 includes afirst end 36 having anend wall 37 with an opening 38 therethrough that receives theend 32 ofrod 18 when assembled.Second end 39 ofelastomeric member 35 includes anend wall 40 with an opening 41 therethrough that receives the elongatedcylindrical portion 27 ofrod 18 when assembled. When assembled, thefirst end 36 ofelastomeric member 35 abuts theinner surface 33 ofend cap 13, and thesecond end 39 ofelastomeric member 35 abuts theend surface 34 ofwall 30 ofpiston 17, such that forces applied toend cap 13 andpiston 17 tend to compresselastomeric member 35.Elastomeric member 35 includes a plurality ofsidewalls 42 that extend between annularouter ring surfaces 43 and annularinner ring surfaces 44. Thesidewalls 42 thus have a generally truncated conical shape withadjacent sidewalls 42 being oriented in opposite directions. Thesidewalls 42 as shown have a uniform thickness. However, the wall shape and thickness may vary depending upon the requirements for a particular application. - When assembled, the
outer surfaces 43 are positioned adjacent the cylindrical inner surface ofsleeve 12, and annularinner ring surfaces 44 are positioned adjacent the elongatedcylindrical portion 27 ofrod 18. If a compressive force F is applied to theelastomeric member 35, the outerannular surface 43 tends to shift outwardly as indicated by the arrow “A,” and the innerannular surfaces 44 tend to deflect inwardly as indicated by the arrows “B.” In use, theouter surfaces 43 contact theinner surface 46 ofsleeve 12, andinner surfaces 44 contact the elongatedcylindrical portion 27 ofrod 18 upon application of a force F. As theelastomeric member 35 is further compressed, the sliding contact between theouter surfaces 43 insleeve 12 and between theinner surfaces 44 androd 18 create a frictional engagement that resists further compression ofelastomeric member 35 aspiston 17 slides relative tosleeve 12 androd 18. If theelastomeric member 35 is further compressed, thewalls 42 tend to collapse and theouter surfaces 47 ofadjacent walls 42 may contact one another, and theinner surfaces 48 ofadjacent sidewall portions 42 may also contact each other. - With reference again to
FIG. 2 , when assembled, therecoil dampening assembly 10 is held in contact with the bolt by the operating spring such that therecoil dampening assembly 10 translates with thebolt 5 during operation of the firearm. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , prior to firing of the firearm, theend surface 49 ofpiston 17 is spaced apart from astop surface 50 in thestock 3. When the firearm is discharged, the force generated shifts thebolt 5 and recoil dampeningassembly 10 rearwardly. After traveling the distance “X,” thesurface 49 ofpiston 17 contacts thestop surface 50 ofstock 3. As thebolt 5 continues to travel rearwardly, thepiston 17 compresses theelastomeric member 35, thereby transferring force through therecoil dampening assembly 10. As discussed above, theelastomeric member 35 frictionally engagessleeve 12 androd 18 as it is compressed, thereby generating a force tending to act against further compression ofelastomeric member 35. If thebolt 5 continues to travel rearwardly, thehard stop 19 will eventually contact thesurface 50 ofstock 3, thereby preventing further movement ofbolt 5 relative to thestock 3. - In the illustrated example, the
recoil dampening assembly 10 is in contact with thebolt 5 of firearm 1, such that theassembly 10 travels with thebolt 5. Therecoil dampening assembly 10 may also be fixed to the stock, such that therecoil dampening assembly 10 remains stationary relative to bolt 5. For example, with reference toFIG. 2 , therecoil dampening assembly 10 could be oriented 180 degrees in an opposite direction, and theend cap 13 could then be secured to thestock 3. In this example, thebolt 5 would travel rearwardly until it contacted theend 49 ofpiston 17. - As discussed above, the
end cap 13 may be made of a titanium material, and thecontrol sleeve 12 may be made of a carbon fiber material. Also,piston 17 may be made of a lightweight structural polymer material, and thestop rod 18 may be made of a titanium material. Also,hard stop 19 may be made of a hard elastomeric material, and thescrew 20 may be made of aluminum material. Theelastomeric member 35 is preferably made of an elastomeric material having resilient and frictional properties providing the desired degree of dampening. However, other materials may be utilized for the various components based upon the impact, wear, friction, weight, and other properties required for a particular application. - The recoil dampening assembly of the present invention provides a durable, yet effective, device that absorbs forces generated by discharge of a firearm. The components can be readily disassembled.
- 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.
