Description

G. A. GOODWIN GUN SILENCER, FLASH COVER, AND RECOIL CHECK.
APPLICATION FILED APR. 18. I92].
PatenbedSept. 5,, 1922.,
Patented Sept. 5, 192 2.
UNHTE STTE GEORGE A. GOODWIN, OF DAYTON, OHIO.
GUN SILENCER, FLASH COVER, AND RECOIL CHECK.
Application filed April 18, 1921.
To all whom it may concern .Be'it known that I, GEORGE A. GooowiN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gun Silencers, Flash Covers, and Recoil Checks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to silencers in general and more specifically to a silencer for firearms.
In the conventional type of gun silencer no specific means have been provided for the elimination of a visible flash caused by the exploded gases. In using such type of silencer at night the noise of such explosion would be eliminated but the resulting flash would disclose the location of the firearm. It will be readily seen that the elimination of both the noise and flash would be great advantage in actual warfare.
It is therefore proposed to provide a gun silencer which will be inexpensive, easily constructed, readily attached to the firearm, and so constructed as to eliminate any flash or noise.
Referring more particularly to the attached drawings, the figure is a side elevat-ion, partly in section, of the invention, showing its attachment to the gun barrel, and also the interior of the silencer.
The gun barrel A is recessed as at P and provided with an interior screw thread D to receive the exterior screw thread C- of the coupling B. Connected to the opposite end of the coupling member B is a hollow casing K provided with apertures L. Baflles H are mounted interiorly of the casing K by means of flanges I integral with said baflles H. The flanges I are provided with apertures J so positioned as to communicate with the apertures L. Mounted exteriorly of the casing K is an outer casing M which is provided with an inturned flange R overlapping the downwardly extending flange Q of the casing K.
Thus it will be seen that upon firing, the bullet passes through the central passages E, E, and F of B, H, and M respectively. The gases, however, expand as they pass through the enlarged passage G of the coupling member B. As the gases pass forward they strike against the baflles H, are temporarily reversed in their direction, and as they further expand, find an outlet through the corresponding apertures J and Serial No. 462,292.
Furthermore, when this device is applied to automatic rifles, it not only accomplishes the features above set forth but also affords a means of diminishing the travel of the recoil mechanism thereby increasing therate output of shots in a given'time.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. In a gun silencer an inner casing provided with an inlet and outlet in horizontal alignment for the passage of a bullet, and a plurality of laterally disposed apertures, a plurality of angularly disposed and centrally apertured baffles provided with flanges parallel to and connected to the inneiwalls of said inner casing and provided with laterally disposed apertures in register with those of said inner casing, an outer casing arranged about and connected to said inner casing at its discharge end, said outer casing having a discharge opening arranged at its rear end and annularly about said gas inlet.
2. In combination, an interiorly screwthreaded gun barrel, an exteriorly screwthreaded hollow .sleeve adapted tobe screwed therein, a nut integral with sleeve, a hollow extension beyond said nut, the passage through said hollow extension'being venturi -shaped, a' gun silencer being detachably secured to said sleeve extension.
3. In combination, an interiorly screwthreaded gun barrel, an exteriorly screwthreaded hollow sleeve adapted to be screwed therein, a nut integral with sleeve, a hollow extension beyond said nut, the pets sage through said hollow extension being venturi-shaped, a gun silencerbeing detachably secured to said sleeve extension, said gun silencer comprising an inner casing provided with an inlet and outlet in horizontal alignment for ,the passage of a bullet, said inner casing being further provided with a plurality of laterally disposed apertures, a inner casing at its discharge end, said outer plurality of angular-1y disposed and cencasing having a discharge opening arranged l0 trally apertured bafiles provided With at itsrear end and annularly about said gas flanges parallel to and connected to the ininlet.
ner walls of said inner casing and provided In testimony whereof I have afiixed my With laterally disposed apertures in register signature.
with those of said inner casing, an outer casing arranged about and connected to said GEORGE A. GQODWIN.
