The present disclosure relates to the field of shooting sports. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a foldable buttstock for a firearm.
Typically firearms such as a pneumatic air gun are long profile rifles. In a pneumatic air gun, for example, an air tank is attached to the rear end, making it long profile rifle. The air tank is typically in a fixed position.
Such long profile rifles are difficult to transit. Also long profile rifles lack versatility making them unsuitable for close quarter shooting.
In light of the above discussion, there exists a need to make a long profile rifle convenient and easier to transit. Also, there is a need to make a long profile rifle suitable for close quarter shooting.
In a first example, a foldable buttstock assembly for a pneumatic air gun is provided. The pneumatic air gun has an air tank and a barrel unit. The air tank has pressurized air gas. The foldable buttstock assembly allows pneumatic air gun to be operated while the air tank is in any position. The air tank can be in an open position such that pneumatic air gun has a long rifle profile. The air tank can be in a closed position such that pneumatic air gun has a short rifle profile. The air tank can be in an intermediate position such that pneumatic air gun has a profile shorter than a long rifle profile.
A primary object of the disclosure is to provide a foldable buttstock for a pneumatic air gun.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide the foldable buttstock such that air tank of the pneumatic air gun can be folded in any direction.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide the foldable buttstock that allows operation of the pneumatic air gun while the air tank is folded.
Having thus described the disclosure, in general, terms, reference will now be made to the accompanying figures, wherein:
It should be noted that the accompanying figures are intended to present illustrations of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. These figures are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. It should also be noted that accompanying figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.
The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present technology can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, structures and devices are shown in block diagram form only in order to avoid obscuring the present disclosure.
Reference in this specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present technology. The appearance of the phrase “in one embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Moreover, various features are described which may be exhibited by some embodiments and not by others. Similarly, various requirements are described which may be requirements for some embodiments but not other embodiments.
Moreover, although the following description contains many specifics for the purposes of illustration, anyone skilled in the art will appreciate that many variations and/or alterations to said details are within the scope of the present technology. Similarly, although many of the features of the present technology are described in terms of each other, or in conjunction with each other, one skilled in the art will appreciate that many of these features can be provided independently of other features. Accordingly, this description of the present technology is set forth without any loss of generality to, and without imposing limitations upon, the present technology.
The descriptions of embodiments of the present disclosure and accompanying examples are presented for purposes of the purpose of understanding and clarity. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the scope of the present disclosure to the precise forms disclosed. It will be understood to a person ordinarily skilled in the art that many variations are possible in light of the above disclosure.
