Definitions

  • the invention is related to a rifled firearm suppressor, a.k.a. a silencer, to be mounted in the front section of the rifled firearm barrel and intended to reduce the harmful effects of the gases upon having the bullet exiting/leaving from the muzzle section, thus achieving reduction of noise and recoil when firing.
  • a rifled firearm suppressor a.k.a. a silencer
  • These devices are designed to be mounted on the barrel of the firearm, boasting a high degree of strength. Most of these devices usually consist of a housing where, by using different in shape and layout elements (barriers, openings and channels) the fired gases from the gunpowder charge are directed and pass through these elements.
  • a suppressor is known produced by Recknagel (Product catalog - March 2019), and it consists of a cylindrical metal housing, and its interior space houses a core with a disk-shaped partition system of elements and openings made along the outer surface on the core.
  • the disk partition system acts so that after passing through each subsequent partition, the gas pressure begins to decrease, thus creating conditions of controlling the speed of the gases after the bullet.
  • a suppressor is known, as described in PM Reg. N° 3438, consisting of a housing where a core with radially arranged partitions is located in, the thickness of which decreases in the direction from the rear to the front end of the suppressor; and gas openings are made in the core. At least one fixing orifice is made in the rear part of the core, in particular before the section with the gas openings, while a replaceable sleeve with an internal thread corresponding to the thread of the respective barrel is mounted inside the core.
  • two threaded sectors are formed, separated by a channel, where the sleeve is placed in the core so that the channel of the sleeve coincides with the fixing orifices, where the fixing elements are screwed to the stop.
  • a widening is formed in the inner diameter of which a channel is further formed, with a slotted ring located in it.
  • Patent Publication EP1255959 B1 is known, and it describes a suppressor mounted on the barrel of the firearm by means of a threaded connection internally formed on the core of the suppressor.
  • the device consists of an external casing where the core is located in, and radially shaped disk elements on it forming the working chambers.
  • the core and disk elements are formed as a single body, with gas openings arranged radially along the core, located in the working chambers in front of the muzzle cut.
  • the chambers are defined [formed] by an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve extending longitudinally in the silencer, and a number of disc-shaped surfaces extending between the outer and inner sleeves.
  • the disc surfaces are suitably shaped for this purpose - as integral parts of the inner sleeve.
  • the silencer is preferably made of aluminum; other suitable material such as titanium, alloy, synthetic material and the like can be used for its production, too.
  • the efficiency of the silencer can be enhanced by filling all or some of the chambers - fully or partially - using a muffler material, such as aluminum chips.
  • a muffler material such as aluminum chips.
  • the outer periphery of the inner sleeve between the disc surfaces must be covered with a fine mesh, e.g. stainless steel so that the soundproofing material cannot enter the orifice through the openings of the inner sleeve.
  • the silencer should to be further adapted to the length of each chamber; the number of orifices for capturing the emitted gas and the distance between the inner and outer bushings can be additionally changed.
  • the released gases pass through the said gas openings formed along the core, whereby a portion of the released gases return back through the openings formed on/along the disk elements, entering the suppressor chambers, located between two disk elements behind the muzzle cut, then return to the front section and exit the suppressor through its central opening.
  • the scope of the invention is to offer a suppressor able to provide a significant reduction of noise and recoil by the fired/released gases, allowing high firing rate while maintaining efficiency as well as achieve longer durability on the use of the silencer between the accepted standard inspection and technical maintenance periods.
  • a suppressor consisting of a cylindrical casing, where a core with radially disposed disk elements is arranged in; its thickness decreases in the direction from the rear to the front end of the suppressor, having a number of gas openings made along the core, where the openings in a row are shifted in relation to the openings in another row, while the working chambers formed between two disk partitions are filled with soundabsorbing material.
  • At least two shifted one towards another clamping grooves are made in the core, while the sound-absorbing material in the space between the disk partitions is a cooling mesh, with the size of the openings from 0.02 - 2.00 mm and it is formed in a structured package of an annular shape consisting of two folded accordion-like strips of cooling mesh intersecting in different planes at an angle of less than 30°, the folds of one being radially and of the other being axially arranged with respect to the axis of the chamber.
  • the filling of the volume of each chamber of the structured package has been determined at a ratio of: volume, 1 mm 3 : cooled area, 1 mm 2 - from 1:1 to 1:1.4.
  • the clamping grooves are three and are arranged symmetrically along the core, the grooves being arranged at an angle to the axis of 10-45 degrees.
  • each chamber is filled with a cooling mesh.
  • only the first three chambers (rear to front) are filled with cooling mesh.
  • the first three working chambers are filled with a cooling mesh with openings of 0.20-0.55, while the subsequent working chambers are filled with a cooling mesh with openings of 0.55-1.00 mm.
  • a structured package made of a corrugated/folded strip of cooling mesh with a folded triangular shape arranged in a plane is housed within the volume of each chamber.
  • the cooling mesh is made in a folded triangular shape.
  • the filling of the volume of the chambers is carried out in compliance with the ratio of chamber volume : mesh area - 1 mm 3 : 1.4 mm 2 .
  • the cooling mesh is made of a material such as chromium-nickel steel, titanium or other material, providing high thermal conductivity, heat resistance, passive to chemically aggressive environment/-s.
  • a strip-like element of a mesh with a width equal to the distance between two adjacent baffles/partitions is placed above the cooling mesh in the section of the chamber.
  • the suppressor features a technically and technologically efficient design.
  • the cylindrical core is designed so that when gases leave through the clamping grooves, a torque is created acting on the housing of the separator, the size of which is determined by the angle of the clamping grooves to (towards) the axis as well as by the dimensions and area of the walls of the clamping grooves.
  • the torque has a direction of rotation equal to the direction of tightening/clamping, as a result of which the suppressor is secured against self-unwinding or loosening of the connection of the two elements - the suppressor and the barrel of the weapon.
  • the improved efficiency of the silencer is mainly expressed in the controlled filling of the chambers with a cooling mesh, as the laying of the folded cooling mesh with a pre-defmed shape ensures the effective extension of the path of the gases forced to pass through a huge number of cells formed by the cooling mesh located in the chambers designed between two disk partitions.
  • the mesh may be housed in the chambers using a different form of its folding.
  • an additional strip of cooling mesh is used, and it covers the chamber at the peripheral surface, compressing and limiting the cooling mesh located in the chambers.
  • Fig.l A view of the core according to the utility model
  • FIG.2 A core with cooling mesh laid between the disk partitions, according to the utility model 4
  • FIG.3 A cross-sectional view of the AA from Figure 2
  • Fig.4 A front view of the cooling mesh with a structured package of two sheets of mesh, folded accordion-like
  • Fig.5 An axonometric view of a structure package of the folded cooling mesh and the covering strip
  • Fig.6 A front view of the cooling mesh with a structure package of one mesh - a triangular shape
  • Fig.7 A 2 nd axonometric view of a structure package of the folded cooling mesh and the covering strip.
  • the description further provides an exemplary embodiment of a suppressor according to the invention, characterized by a technological construction providing improved noise reduction functionalities when using a firearm, and an exemplary embodiment is provided suitable for use with hunting weapons and it does not restrict their use in other firearms, as well as the use of barriers and openings adapted in regards to their placement and design, in a way that provides an equivalent effect in suppressing noise accompanying the movement of gases when discharged from the barrel of a firearm.
  • the suppressor consists of a cylindrical casing 1 ; a core 2 is located inside it; and partitions 3 and gas openings 4 are placed along the core; the partitions and openings form interconnected working chambers in the housing.
  • a replaceable connecting sleeve 5 with an internal thread is placed inside the core 2 ; the thread corresponds to the thread of the respective barrel.
  • At least two clamping grooves 6 are arranged on the body of the core 2, oriented relative to each other, so that when gases pass through them, a torque is created ensuring self-tightening of the suppressor to the barrel, thus a guaranteed connection between the barrel and the suppressor is ensured.
  • a cooling mesh 7 is placed, sized: 0.35 mm of the openings; and the filling of the volume of the working chambers is ensured in compliance with the ratio “volume of the chamber : area of the mesh” - it is 1 m 3 : 1.4 m 2 .
  • the cooling mesh accommodated in the working chambers is formed in a structured ring-shaped package 8 composed of two folded accordion-type strips, when folded the two strips of mesh intersect in different planes located below an angle of less than 30°, the folds of one being arranged radially and the other one being arranged axially relative to the chamber, as a result of which the folded strips form a number of small hollows (chambers) with a pyramidal shape.
  • the height of the structural package with the folded cooling mesh 7 is determined by the distance between the outer surface of the core 2 and the periphery of the disk partitions 3 and is placed so as to fill the space to the periphery of the disk partitions 3, where a strip element 9, is placed above the cooling mesh 7 - the element is made of mesh with the size of the openings of 0.75 mm, and with a width sufficient to cover the radiator thus formed.
  • the structural package 8.1 is made of a folded strip of accordion-type mesh, with a triangular shape, the strip being arranged in one plane, whereby the volume of each chamber is filled in a controllable manner, forming a number of cells in each chamber, thus determining - in a controlled manner - the area the gases must pass through for the purpose of cooling them before leaving the suppressor.
  • the released gases When fired, the released gases enter the suppressor, whereby part of them, passing through the clamping grooves 6, create torque and act on the core, whereby they rotate it and thus counteract the forces of unwinding, further achieving self-tightening, ensuring a secure connection between the suppressor and the barrel of the weapon.
  • the gases released during the shot pass in front of the gas openings 4 in the core 2 and enter the chambers through them, where they pass through the structured package of the cooling mesh 7, the parameters of which are predetermined so as to provide the necessary path of the cooled gases until their acceptable cooling is reached.
