- Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention generally provides a device that can attach a sound suppressor to the muzzle end of a firearm without employing conventional screw threads or spring means.
- As depicted in
FIG. 1 , an exemplary embodiment of anattachment device 100, also called a suppressor mount, may include amuzzle brake 10 or flash hider that may attach to the barrel of a firearm, and asuppressor attachment 64 that attaches to a suppressor tube.Suppressor attachment 64 may include aninternal alignment guide 20 that facilitates the insertion of the suppressor to the firearm utilizing themuzzle brake 10, aninternal locking device 30 that holds a part of a locking mechanism, atensioning ring 40 that may be mated to theinternal locking device 30 and may also be fastened to the suppressor, and arear cap 50 that may seat against the muzzle brake. A part might be “internal” to the sound suppressor in that it is part of thesuppressor attachment 64 and therefore inside the sound suppressor. Other parts might be “external” in that it is part of themuzzle brake 10, which is attached to the firearm. A direction might also be “:rear” or “rearward”, which is against the direction that the firearm will shoot, which is proximate and toward the user, or at an otherwise distal, remote position, which is in the same direction the firearm will shoot. - As depicted in
FIGS. 2A and 2B , an embodiment of amuzzle brake 10 may provide a mount for the suppressor that is either removably or permanently attached to a firearm barrel. Themuzzle brake 10 may have a rearexternal gas check 12 or gasket that may provide gas-flow sealing means when mated up to aninternal gas check 34 or seal (on therear cap 50 depicted inFIG. 6A ). The muzzle brake may comprisegas ports 14 that can be slots or any shape opening designed to reduce flash. There can be anexternal alignment key 16 comprising a contour of flats and shapes that provide alignment as well as the male part or an otherwise extending part of a suppressor lock to lock the suppressor in place when the muzzle brake is mated to the internal locking device (30). These flats and shapes can be machined into the front of the device in the case thatmuzzle brake 10 is a muzzle brake, or on the back of the device in the case themuzzle brake 10 is a flash hider. The shape can be made to allow the suppressor to be mounted one way only or two ways 180 degrees apart. The muzzle brake can also have alocking slot 18 that can mate to a matching shape in theinternal locking device 30. When theinternal locking device 30 rotates, thislocking slot 18 can stop the rotation, allowing the suppressor to tighten up on the mount. - When completed, the suppressor may be in contact with the
muzzle brake 10 in two locations, rearexternal gas check 12 andexternal alignment key 16. Having two points of contact counteracts leverage and keeps the suppressor aligned, to avoid improper mounting. When a user rotates themuzzle brake 10 inside the suppressor, the suppressor moves rearward until external gas check 12 and an internal gas check (on therear cap 50 of the suppressor attachment 64) make contact, andexternal alignment key 16 and an internal locking surface 26 (on thelocking receiver 30 of the suppressor attachment 64) make contact. Further rotation may cause tension between the two points of contact, so that the muzzle brake 10 (which attaches to the firearm) and the suppressor attachment 64 (for the suppressor tube) wedge and lock together. - As depicted in
FIG. 3 , an embodiment of aninternal alignment guide 20 may ease the insertion of the suppressor muzzle brake onto the firearm.Alignment guide 20 may include anend part 23 tapering inward and forward with an angle of from about 30 to 60 degrees, for example 45 degrees from the exterior to the interior that can act as a guide for theexternal alignment key 16 of the muzzle brake 10 (shown inFIG. 2A ).

FIGS. 4A and 4B , an embodiment of aninternal locking device 30 may have aninternal diameter 24 that can receive and hold the female part of thelocking point 16 of the muzzle brake 10 (shown inFIG. 2A ).Internal diameter 24 may allow theexternal alignment key 16 to pass through and can have a shapedinternal locking surface 26 that can mate to alocking slot 18 of muzzle brake 10 (FIG. 2A ), which is a cut out shape stop. - The cutouts on
internal locking surface 26 may match the shape of theexternal alignment key 16 on themuzzle brake 10, which may be a triangle or have a slight angle. The female part (internal locking device 30 ofFIG. 4A ) may go over the front male part of themuzzle brake 10 until it contacts the back of lockingslot 18. As the suppressor is rotated, theinternal locking device 30 rotates counterclockwise into lockingslot 18. As the suppressor continues to rotate, sinceinternal locking device 30 andtensioning ring 40 are mated by threads, the suppressor moves rearward until the female rearexternal gas check 12 orinternal gas check 34 contacts the male gas check or seal that is part of the brake or is machined as part of the barrel. - As depicted in
FIGS. 5A and 5B , an embodiment of atensioning ring 40 may mate up with an internal locking device 30 (shown inFIG. 4A ) by means ofinternal screws threads 32 that match with the external screw-threadedsurface 28 of theinternal locking device 30.

FIG. 8 , an embodiment of anattachment device 100 may allow a suppressor tube 60 with asuppressor attachment 64 to removably attach to afirearm 62 with amuzzle brake 10. - Embodiments of a muzzle brake may be made of steel, for example type 4150, but may be made of any metal. Embodiments may range in diameter from about 0.625 to over 3 inches. The length may be from about 1.5 to over 20 inches. The mount may be part of the muzzle device or may be machined directly into a rifle barrel. The internal alignment guide, internal locking device, tensioning ring, and rear cap may be made of a material that matches the suppressor body. Elements of the device may be manufactured on a lathe with sections to be machined being processed with a milling machine.
- Embodiments of the invention may be used by first mounting the muzzle brake to the host weapon. The suppressor may then be mounted by placing the suppressor over the muzzle brake and rotating it until it stops. To remove the device, the suppressor may be rotated in the opposite direction. The muzzle brake may remain on the weapon, while other parts may be inside and/or part of the suppressor, and may be removed with the suppressor. The internal structure may be designed so that if an operator does not properly attach the device, no harm results. When the device is on the weapon, it may be in alignment whether it has been tightened or not.
