Abstract
The present invention relates to an active system configured to apply an active force to a portion of a firearm designed to contact a body of the firearm's operator, to reduce the perceived recoil of the firearm. The active system includes an actuation element capable of generating an active force, and systems for powering and selectively operating the actuation element.
Claims20
An active system for reducing a perceived recoil of a firearm, the active system comprising:
- an actuation element, wherein the actuation element is configured to apply an active force onto a portion of the firearm designed to contact a body of the firearm's operator, wherein the active force is configured to oppose a recoil force caused by operation of the firearm, and wherein the actuation element is configured to cause the portion of the firearm designed to contact a body of the firearm's operator to retract;
- a battery;
- an activating sensor;
- an electronic control unit, wherein the electronic control unit is electronically connected to the battery, the actuation element, and the activating sensor, and wherein the electronic control unit is capable of returning an output in response to an input from the activating sensor;
- and
- wherein the output from the electronic control unit is configured to operate the actuation element.

An active system for reducing a perceived recoil of a firearm, the active system comprising:
- an actuation element, wherein the actuation element comprises:
- an actuator comprising an outer cylinder and a piston, wherein the piston divides the outer cylinder into a first chamber and a second chamber;
- an electric pump in fluid communication with the actuator;
- at least one accumulator in fluid communication with the actuator and the electric pump;
- a battery;
- an activating sensor;
- an electronic control unit, wherein the electronic control unit is electronically connected to the battery, the actuation element, and the activating sensor, and wherein the electronic control unit is capable of returning an output in response to an input from the activating sensor;
- wherein the output from the electronic control unit is configured to operate the actuation element;
- and
- wherein the actuation element is configured to apply an active force onto a portion of the firearm designed to contact a body of the firearm's operator, and wherein the active force is configured to oppose a recoil force caused by operation of the firearm.
