Buffer bumper assembly for use with a weapon recoil spring
A buffer bumper assembly for use with some firearms that incorporate a recoil based operating system. The buffer bumper assembly may be disposed on a buffer bumper structure that may be installed inside of a recoil spring around an end thereof. The buffer bumper assembly comprises an upper segment, a lower segment, a biasing structure and a connector. The upper segment and lower segment are interconnected with the connector and reciprocally movable to one another. The upper segment and lower segment may be collectable disposable into and out of a compressed position and an uncompressed position. The biasing structure may at least partially assume the energy of an impact associated with a recoil cycle when it is compressed and when the upper segment and lower segment are collectively disposed in the compressed position.

3. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said upper segment comprises a first shoulder configured to retain a head of said connector.
4. The buffer assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said upper segment comprises an inner diameter that is at least greater than a diameter of a body of said connector.
5. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said upper segment comprises a first slot configured to retain at least a portion of said biasing structure.
6. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said lower segment comprises a second slot configured to retain at least a portion of said biasing structure.
7. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said retaining wall and said sidewall are cooperatively configured to define a slidable relation between said upper segment and said lower segment.
8. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said retaining wall and sidewall are cooperatively configured to define a reciprocal movable relation between said upper segment and said lower segment.
9. The buffer assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said upper segment and said lower segment are collectively disposable into a compressed position and au uncompressed position.
10. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said lower segment comprises an opening configured to receive a cross pin.
11. A buffer bumper assembly for use in connection with a weapon, said buffer bumper assembly disposable on a recoil spring and on an inside of a weapon buffer tube, said buffer bumper assembly comprising:
an upper segment comprising a body with a front surface, a retaining wall, an aperture disposed substantially around a center of said body and a first slot defined on said body and comprising a depth,
a lower segment comprising a rear surface, a sidewall, a socket and a second slot adjacently disposed to said sidewall and comprising a depth,
a biasing structure disposed on an inside of said upper segment and on an inside said lower segment,
a connector comprising a body, said connector disposed on an inside of said upper segment and on an inside of said lower segment, said connector configured to connect the upper segment and the lower segment, and
said biasing structure, said upper segment and said lower segment cooperatively configured to at least partially absorb an energy associated with an impact of said upper segment with the rear of the buffer tube.
12. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein said depth of said first slot and said depth of said second slot are substantially equivalent to a compressed length of the biasing structure.
13. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein said connector comprises a connecting structure configured to form mating engagement with said socket.
14. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 13 wherein each of said connecting structure and said socket comprise a threaded configuration configured to form said mating engagement between said connecting structure and said socket.
15. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein a length of said body of said connector is greater than an uncompressed length of said biasing structure.
16. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein a diameter said biasing structure is greater than a diameter of said body of said connector.
17. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein said body of said connector is configured to pass through an opening of said biasing structure.
18. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein said diameter of said spring is greater than a diameter of said aperture.
19. The buffer bumper assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein said sidewall is disposed in confronting relation with a second shoulder of said upper segment when said upper segment and said lower segment are disposed in said compressed position.
20. A buffer bumper assembly for use in connection with a weapon, said buffer bumper assembly disposable on a recoil spring and on an inside of a weapon buffer tube, said buffer bumper assembly comprising:
an upper segment comprising a body with a front surface, a retaining wall, an aperture disposed substantially around a center thereof and a first slot defined on said body and comprising a depth,
a lower segment comprising a rear surface, a sidewall, a socket and a second slot adjacently disposed around said sidewall and comprising a depth,
a biasing structure at least partially disposed on an inside of said upper segment and on an inside said lower segment,
a connector comprising a body, said connector disposed on an inside of said upper segment and on an inside of said lower segment, said connector configured to connect the upper segment and the lower segment,
