US12782084 - Buttstock for a firearm

The patent describes a buttstock for a firearm featuring a housing with a sliding guide for adjustable mounting, a locking bolt for securing the buttstock, and an actuating lever with two arms for user operation. The design allows the locking bolt to be displaced between three positions—locking, displacing, and open—facilitating easy adjustment and secure attachment to the firearm.

Claim 1

1 . A buttstock for a firearm, the buttstock comprising: a housing comprising: a main housing part with a sliding guide for axially adjustable mounting of the buttstock on a buttstock mount of a receiver of the firearm, wherein the buttstock mount is a buffer tube, a rear housing part, and a housing strut, wherein the housing strut extends between the main housing part and the rear housing part, and wherein a clearance is formed between the housing strut, the main housing part and the rear housing part; a locking bolt for axially fixing the buttstock on the buttstock mount, wherein a locking bolt mount for mounting the locking bolt is in the housing, wherein the locking bolt mount leads into the sliding guide, and wherein the locking bolt is displaceable between a locking position, a displacing position and an open position; and an actuating lever, wherein the actuating lever has a cross pin mount configured as a slot with a longitudinal extent and is fastened via a cross pin on the main housing part pivotably and displaceably along a longitudinal extent of the cross pin mount, wherein the actuating lever has extending from the cross pin mount a first lever arm, the first lever arm is coupled to the locking bolt and serves for displacing the locking bolt between the locking position, the displacing position and the open position, wherein the actuating lever has extending from the cross pin mount a second lever arm, which has an actuating surface for actuation by a user, wherein the cross pin is arranged in the main housing part in a region above the clearance, and wherein the actuating surface is accessible from the clearance, and wherein the cross pin is arranged closer to the rear housing part than the locking bolt, and wherein the actuating lever is in a rearward position in the locking position and in the displacing position of the locking bolt, and wherein the actuating lever is in a forward position in the open position, and wherein the actuating lever is closer to the rear housing part in the rearward position than in the forward position. a housing comprising: a main housing part with a sliding guide for axially adjustable mounting of the buttstock on a buttstock mount of a receiver of the firearm, wherein the buttstock mount is a buffer tube, a rear housing part, and a housing strut, wherein the housing strut extends between the main housing part and the rear housing part, and wherein a clearance is formed between the housing strut, the main housing part and the rear housing part; a main housing part with a sliding guide for axially adjustable mounting of the buttstock on a buttstock mount of a receiver of the firearm, wherein the buttstock mount is a buffer tube, a rear housing part, and a housing strut, wherein the housing strut extends between the main housing part and the rear housing part, and wherein a clearance is formed between the housing strut, the main housing part and the rear housing part; a locking bolt for axially fixing the buttstock on the buttstock mount, wherein a locking bolt mount for mounting the locking bolt is in the housing, wherein the locking bolt mount leads into the sliding guide, and wherein the locking bolt is displaceable between a locking position, a displacing position and an open position; and an actuating lever, wherein the actuating lever has a cross pin mount configured as a slot with a longitudinal extent and is fastened via a cross pin on the main housing part pivotably and displaceably along a longitudinal extent of the cross pin mount, wherein the actuating lever has extending from the cross pin mount a first lever arm, the first lever arm is coupled to the locking bolt and serves for displacing the locking bolt between the locking position, the displacing position and the open position, wherein the actuating lever has extending from the cross pin mount a second lever arm, which has an actuating surface for actuation by a user, wherein the cross pin is arranged in the main housing part in a region above the clearance, and wherein the actuating surface is accessible from the clearance, and wherein the cross pin is arranged closer to the rear housing part than the locking bolt, and wherein the actuating lever is in a rearward position in the locking position and in the displacing position of the locking bolt, and wherein the actuating lever is in a forward position in the open position, and wherein the actuating lever is closer to the rear housing part in the rearward position than in the forward position.
