Abstract
Description
- This invention relates in general to silencers and in particular to devices and methods for indexing the silencer's orientation as it relates to the muzzle of the host firearm.
- Firearms silencers are well known in the prior art. The advantages of reducing the muzzle blast, noise and flash signature of a discharging firearm are well known. The apparatus and method herein described pertains to a booster mechanism which facilitates the autoloading function of the host firearm when the, silencer is in place.
- Autoloading handguns generally function by utilizing the energy generated by a discharged round of ammunition to extract, eject and load another round of ammunition. During the extraction and ejecting phase of operation, on “Browning” inspired designs, well known in the prior art, the barrel chamber drops below the level of the handgun's slide and the front of the barrel tilts up, above the axis of the slide. The addition of four or more ounces to the front of the barrel will typically prevent the proper operation of the handgun.
- In general, effective silencer designs weigh more than four ounces. Due to weight considerations, a means to allow the host firearm to cycle was necessary. Boosters, as they are commonly referred to, are incorporated into the rear of a silencer to assist in the cycling of the host handgun. Some boosters work by increasing the pressure forced back into the handgun's operating system and others work by isolating the mass of the attached silencer through various means. Examples of these designs are found in the Advanced Armament Corp. ASAP system, Gemtech Tundra or the SWR Trident-9. In general the designs may work so as to allow the proper operating of the handgun, but fail to provide an effective, robust means by which to orient and adjust the orientation of the attached silencer.
- Designs such as the Gemtech Tundra utilize a set screw which protrudes into the booster housing as a means to prevent the piston from freely rotating. Unfortunately these set screws can become threadedly unsecured inside of the housing allowing the silencer to rotate freely which will negatively affect the ability of the handgun to deliver accurate fire. Further, the set screw can break off inside of the housing with the same effect. The herein disclosed invention overcomes these weaknesses by providing a robust design which provides five solid indexing notches that positively engage the booster housing and prevents any unintended rotation of the associated silencer.
- In the past, other booster designs have relied on specialized tools for the disassembly of the booster housing assembly for maintenance. Further, there was no other tool which could be substituted in emergency conditions for the proper maintenance of the booster housing. My design has no need of specialized tools because the retention cap incorporates surface structures which facilitate the disassembly of the booster assembly.
- Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description as follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following, or may be learned by practice of the invention.
- Accordingly several objects and advantages of the present invention are
- 1. To provide a means of affecting a silencer's orientation in relation to the muzzle of the host firearm.
- 2. To provide a means to utilize the silencer to adjust the point of impact of the host firearm.
- 3. To provide a device that allows the host firearm to properly cycle with a silencer in place.
- 4. To provide a device that has interchangeable threaded inserts so that one silencer may be used on a variety of firearms.
- 5. To provide a device that does not require tools for disassembly.
- Still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description and drawings.
- One embodiment of the proposed novel invention provides for a housing, piston, spring and retaining cap which are incorporated into an existing silencer and utilized on a handgun. The piston is machined so that it may be threadedly secured to the barrel of a firearm. The housing is designed to contain the piston and is threadedly secured to the silencer body. A centrally located aperture is provided at the distal end of the housing to allow a discharged projectile from a firearm to exit. The piston has an opening through its body, which aligns with the aperture of the housing which facilitates the passing through of a discharged projectile. A series of indexing notches are provided at the bottom of the housing where the piston is nested. The piston utilizes five spokes which interface with five, of ten, notches in the housing in any given orientation. This allows the piston to be oriented in ten different positions. A spring is placed in the housing after the piston is in place and retained by a retaining cap. The retaining cap is designed so that no tool is necessary to threadedly retain it in the housing. The spring provides force to prevent the piston from backing out of the housing except during the discharge of the handgun or the orientation of the piston within the silencer.
- The novel features believed to be characteristic of the invention, together with further advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.

FIG. 1 which illustrates an embodiment of the herein proposed invention: an improvedsilencer booster 10 is shown fully assembled. The primary components of this device are thebooster housing 20, thepiston 30; the coil spring 40 (shown inFIGS. 2 , 3 & 5), and theretention cap 50. -
FIGS. 2 & 3 show exploded horizontal side views of the improvedsilencer booster 10.Housing 20 hasexternal threads 21 located about its periphery near the proximal end of thehousing 20.Internal threads 22 are provided near the proximal end of thehousing 20.Housing 20 is machined from steel.Piston 30 is machined from steel. A series of stoppingspokes 31 are located about the periphery of thepiston 30 near the distal end. Stoppingspokes 31 are machined so that thepiston 30 will fit within thehousing 20. Inside of thebooster housing 20 approximate the distal end is located, shown inFIG. 6 , a stoppingshoulder 24 where ten evenly spacedindexing notches 23 are located about its external area. Near the proximal end of thepiston 30 there is located aninternal thread 33 which is utilized to removably secure the piston to afirearm barrel 61. At the extreme distal end of thepiston 30 are the indexingspokes 34.Indexing spokes 34 are pentagonal in shape. Acoil spring 40 is utilized within thehousing 20.Coil spring 40 has a void large enough to accommodate thepiston shaft 32. Theretention cap 50 has anexternal thread 52 that threadedly secures to theinternal thread 22 of thehousing 20. Also present is anopening 54 which is large enough for thepiston shaft 32 to pass through. This allows thepiston 30 to be translatable in one of a forward direction and a rearward direction. Theinternal walls 53 ofretention cap 50 support thepiston 30. Aninternal cut 55 inside of theopening 54 onretention cap 50 houses an o-ring 56. Located about theretention cap 50 are a series ofgripping surfaces 51 which are semi-circular in shape. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a view of the distal end of thebooster housing 20.FIG. 6 illustrates the same features in a cutaway view taken from the proximal direction. Tenindexing notches 23 located about the interior of the stoppingshoulder 24 are shown interfacing with fiveindexing spokes 34 located on the front of thepiston 30. Tenindexing notches 23 are present about the interior of the stoppingshoulder 24.Indexing spokes 34 located about the distal end of thepiston 30 are prevented from rotational movement once thepiston 30 is fully seated within thehousing 20 and theindexing spokes 34 are seated within theindexing notches 23.Indexing notches 23 are spaced about the stoppingshoulder 24 so that theindexing spokes 34 are afforded ten positions of orientation. -
FIG. 5 illustrates a cutaway view of thebooster housing 20 when fully assembled.Piston 30 has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end has athread 33 which is utilized to threadedly secure thepiston 30 to afirearm barrel 61. The internal area of thepiston 30 is hollow so that a bullet might pass through unhindered. The distal end of thepiston 30 has five indexing spokes 34 (illustrated inFIGS. 2 & 3 ) and five stoppingspokes 31. Annular stoppingshoulder 24 located near the distal end of theboost housing 20 protrudes from thebooster housing wall 25 sufficiently to prevent the five stoppingspokes 31 ofpiston 30 from traveling past.Coil spring 40 is placed about thepiston 30 and contained within thebooster housing 20 byretention cap 50.Retention cap 50 has anexternal thread 52 which interacts with theinternal threads 22 of thebooster housing 20. Further,retention cap 50 has grippingsurfaces 51 which provides the means by which the user secures theretention cap 50 to thebooster housing 20 thereby containing thepiston 30 andcoil spring 40 within thehousing 20. Also shown isretention cap 50 withinternal cut 55 with o-ring 56 in place. -
FIG. 7 illustrates a perspective view of a firearm 62,firearm barrel 61, with asilencer 60, utilizing the improved booster forhandgun silencers 10, threadedly secured about thefirearm barrel 61. - Improved booster for
handgun silencers 10 is secured to asilencer 60 body by external mountingthreads 21 located near the proximal end of thebooster housing 20.Retention cap 50 securespiston 30 andcoil spring 40 withinbooster housing 20.Silencer 60 utilizing the improved booster forhandgun silencers 10 is threadedly secured about afirearm barrel 61 bypiston retention threads 33. The user may adjust the orientation ofsilencer 60 as it relates tofirearm barrel 61 by graspingsilencer 60 and pulling it forward of the firearm. This motion compressescoil spring 40 and allowspiston 30 to rotate freely. Oncesilencer 60 andbooster housing 20 are rotated to the desired position, the user releasessilencer 60 so that indexingspokes 34 andindexing notches 23 are allowed to once again interface and prevent rotational movement of thesilencer 60 andpiston 30 within thebooster housing 20. The pentagonal shape of theindexing spokes 34 and the decagonal shape ofbooster housing 20indexing notches 23 are machined so that thepiston 30 may be oriented in one of ten positions at any given time. - Gripping
surfaces 51 located aboutretention cap 50 allow the user to threadedly restrainretention cap 50 tobooster housing 20 without the need for specialized tools. The o-ring 56 provided withretention cap 50 minimizes debris from escaping thebooster housing 20 during normal use. - The
improved booster 10 is designed to be incorporated into the proximal end of thesilencer 60.Piston 30 utilizesthreads 33 as a means to removably secure theimproved booster 10, and thereby thesilencer 60, to afirearm barrel 61. When expanding gases exit thefirearm barrel 61, entering both thebooster housing 20 and thesilencer 60, the gases push the silencer away from the firearm thereby relieving thefirearm barrel 61 of the silencer's weight during cycling.Coil spring 40 resists the movement of thesilencer 60 and is thereby compressed.Piston stopping spokes 31 keep the firearm barrel's exit aperture 62 aligned with the centrally located void 26 (shown inFIG. 4 ) within thebooster housing 20. As expanding gases exit the distal end of thesilencer 60 and pressure is reduced, thecoil spring 40, located aboutpiston 30 contained by theretention cap 50, expands back to its non compressed state. When thecoil spring 40 has returned to its non compressed state, indexingspokes 34 reengage theindexing notches 23 located inside ofbooster housing 20. - As used herein, the word “front” or “forward” or “distal” corresponds to the direction which a discharged projectile would pass through the improved booster housing 20 (i.e., to the left as shown in
FIGS. 1-2 , & 5); “rear” or “rearward or “back” or “proximal” corresponds to the direction opposite the direction of a discharged projectile passing through the improved booster housing 20 (i.e., to the right as shown inFIGS. 1-2 , & 5); “longitudinal” means the direction along or parallel to the longitudinal axis of theimproved booster housing 20; and “transverse” means a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. - Accordingly the reader will see that, according to the invention, I have provided a method for adjusting the orientation of a silencer while mounted on the barrel of a firearm. The orientation method requires no special tools and ten positions of adjustment are provided for. Further, the herein described invention requires no special tools for the disassembly of the booster housing during maintenance of the internal components. The improved booster for handgun silencers may be incorporated into any handgun silencer with very little modification to the original design and ensures the reliable auto loading function of the host firearm.
- While my above drawings and description contain many specificities, these should not be constructed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as an exemplification of one embodiment thereof.
- Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined not by the embodiments illustrated, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
