Abstract

The present disclosure provides a foldable buttstock assembly for a pneumatic air gun. The foldable buttstock assembly has a foldable buttstock air fitting adapter connected to an air tank to a barrel unit of the pneumatic air gun. It also has an air channeling fitting to channel flow of the air gas. The pneumatic air gun can be operated while the air tank is in any position.

Claims (34)

1. A foldable buttstock assembly for a pneumatic air gun, wherein the pneumatic air gun has an air tank and a barrel unit, wherein the air tank has air gas, the foldable buttstock assembly comprising:

a foldable buttstock air fitting adapter mechanically connecting the air tank to the barrel unit, wherein the foldable buttstock air fitting adapter comprising:

a first adapter mechanically associated with the air tank, wherein the first adapter receives the air gas from the air tank;

a hinge arm mechanically connected to the first adapter, wherein the hinge arm channels the air gas; and

a rotating hinge mechanism mechanically connecting the first adapter to the hinge arm such that relative rotation is enabled between the first adapter and the hinge arm; and

an air channeling fitting mechanically engaged with the foldable buttstock air fitting adapter, wherein the air channeling fitting channels flow of the air gas, wherein the air channeling fitting comprising:

one or more air fitting holes receiving the air gas from the hinge arm; and

one or more air holes receiving the air gas from the one or more air fitting holes,

wherein the one or more air holes channels the air gas to the barrel unit of the pneumatic air gun,

whereby the pneumatic air gun can shoot when the air tank is in any position.

2. The foldable buttstock assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the one or more air fitting holes is exactly one air fitting hole.

3. The foldable buttstock assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the one or more air holes are exactly two air holes.

4. The foldable buttstock assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the one or more air holes are exactly two air holes such that exactly one air hole receives the air gas from the one or more air fitting holes.

5. The foldable buttstock assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the one or more air holes are exactly two air holes such that exactly two air holes receive the air gas from the one or more air fitting holes.

6. A foldable buttstock assembly for a pneumatic air gun, wherein the pneumatic air gun has an air tank and a barrel unit, wherein the air tank has air gas, the foldable buttstock assembly comprising:

a foldable buttstock air fitting adapter mechanically connecting the air tank to the barrel unit, wherein the foldable buttstock air fitting adapter comprising:

a first adapter mechanically associated with the air tank, wherein the first adapter receives the air gas from the air tank;

a hinge arm mechanically connected to the first adapter, wherein the hinge arm channels the air gas; and

a rotating hinge mechanism mechanically connecting the first adapter to the hinge arm such that relative rotation is enabled between the first adapter and the hinge arm; and

an air channeling fitting mechanically engaged with the foldable buttstock air fitting adapter, wherein the air channeling fitting channels flow of the air gas, wherein the air channeling fitting comprising:

an air fitting hole receiving the air gas from the hinge arm; and

two air holes receiving the air gas from the air fitting hole, wherein the two air holes channels the air gas to the barrel unit of the pneumatic air gun,

whereby the pneumatic air gun can shoot when the air tank is in any position.

7. The foldable buttstock assembly as recited in claim 6 , wherein the one or more air holes are exactly two air holes such that exactly one air hole receives the air gas from the air fitting hole.

8. The foldable buttstock assembly as recited in claim 6 , wherein the one or more air holes are exactly two air holes such that exactly two air holes receive the air gas from the air fitting hole.

9. A foldable buttstock assembly for a pneumatic air gun, wherein the pneumatic air gun has an air tank and a barrel unit, wherein the air tank has air gas, the foldable buttstock assembly comprising:

a foldable buttstock air fitting adapter mechanically connecting the air tank to the barrel unit, wherein the foldable buttstock air fitting adapter comprising:

a first adapter mechanically associated with the air tank, wherein the first adapter receives the air gas from the air tank;

a hinge arm mechanically connected to the first adapter, wherein the hinge arm channels the air gas; and

a rotating hinge mechanism mechanically connecting the first adapter to the hinge arm such that relative rotation is enabled between the first adapter and the hinge arm; and

an air channeling fitting mechanically engaged with the foldable buttstock air fitting adapter, wherein the air channeling fitting channels flow of the air gas, wherein the air channeling fitting comprising:

an air fitting hole receiving the air gas from the hinge arm; and

two air holes receiving the air gas from the air fitting hole, wherein the two air holes channels the air gas to the barrel unit of the pneumatic air gun, wherein at least one air hole of the two air holes receives the air gas from the air fitting hole,

whereby the pneumatic air gun can shoot when the air tank is in any position.
