  • BACKGROUND
  • A rifle comprising a barrel, a bore within the barrel, and a noise damper, wherein the noise damper is over-molded or over-injected on the barrel so that the barrel and noise damper form a single part.
  • Various silencers and mechanisms to couple the silencer to the barrel of a carbine or pistol are known in the state of the art.
  • For example, European Patent No 1247057, of 2000, in the name of the company HECKLER & KOCH GMBH is known, which discloses a coupling device to secure a silencer on the barrel of a portable firearm that comprises a fastening for securing the silencer on the barrel of the portable firearm, where the silencer essentially has the form of a tube, with a coupling bracket fitted to the rear end of the silencer, and a barrel mouth that adjusts to the coupling bracket, on which the coupling bracket can be secured, and the barrel mouth presents a non-round configuration, where a supplementary part is installed on the coupling bracket on the side opposite the first and which can rotate with a contra-form complementary to the non-round configuration, so that the supplementary part can be secured to the barrel mouth only in one angular position. The silencer, together with the coupling bracket, is positioned so that it can rotate with respect to the supplementary part, and a blocking device is planned for inclusion, which will immobilize the silencer, together with the coupling bracket on the supplementary part, at a chosen angular position, without it being able to rotate.
  • The same company also owns European Patent No 1117970 of 2000, which discloses a coupling device for securing a silencer onto the barrel of a portable firearm including a fastening for securing the silencer onto the barrel of the portable firearm with a retention projection, which is positioned on the silencer, and which presents an orifice that centers a contra-projection, which is positioned on the barrel and which presents centered adjustment surfaces that adjust in the orifice, and a pin that can be dismounted for securing the retention projection on the contra-projection, so that the orifice and the adjustment surfaces are positioned centrally in a consecutive fashion in a seating zone, and with which at least one expansion space is provided between the two axial ends of the seating zone.
  • Lastly, European Patent 0772758 dated 1995 is also known, in the name of Mr, Bernard Louvat, which discloses a silencer for a clay-pigeon or sports shotgun. It comprises a tubular body that adapts over the barrel(s) of the firearm and has a ring-shaped decompression chamber behind the tubular body, together with a series of internal transversal baffles held in place by separation parts, and includes orifices that allow the lead shot to pass through and wad evacuation. The silencer is adaptable to all calibers of clay-pigeon and sports shotguns and rifles, single or double-barrel, side-by-side or over/under, together with gauge 12 or 14 garden rifles.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention is a considerable advance in the sporting and fire rifles sector because it increases the performance of the firearm and reduces noise.
  • Economic advantages of the invention arise from a noise damper that is over-molded or over-injected on the barrel of an sporting or fire rifle so that the barrel and noise damper are a single integral assembly.
  • In view of the noise damper being manufactured by over-molding or over the invention also offers significant economic advantages in terms of the production of barrels with noise dampers, since barrels and their noise dampers are usually two independent parts.
  • As discussed above, the prior art typically requires mechanisms to couple the noise damper to the barrel. The coupling must provide stability (no movement) as well as firing reliability. In other words, it has to fit and, at the same time, remain calibrated with the front and rear sights centered. This is a problem, since centering is required each time the noise damper is coupled to the barrel. In contrast, centering of the sights is not necessary in the exemplary rifle disclosed herein in that the front and rear sights are always centered because the front sight is fixed to the noise damper, which is over-molded or over-injected onto the barrel.
  • The noise damper also has an improved noise damper insulating mechanism. Traditionally, a series of loose parts are employed in noise dampers, which are then generally wrapped in cotton or similar materials. The exemplary rifle disclosed herein includes a noise damper comprising at least two parts that define an acoustic labyrinth, which is an evident saving from the economic point of view, since the acoustic labyrinth is very easy to install and manufacture. This feature also offers a significant technical improvement, because when the parts are coupled inside the barrel, they correctly center the exit pathway for the bullet or pellet.
  • An exemplary embodiment described herein provides an sporting or fire rifle comprising a barrel, a bore within the barrel, and a noise damper, wherein the noise damper is over-molded or over-injected on the barrel so that the barrel and noise dampener form a single, integral part.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • In order to facilitate the description, the present description is accompanied by four sheets of drawings that show an exemplary embodiment, which is cited as a non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of an sporting or fire rifle according to the exemplary embodiment of this invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken through line II-II of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken through line III-III of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates two parts of the noise damper of the rifle of FIGS. 1 through 3.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an sporting or fire rifle comprising a barrel 1 with a bore therein, a sight 6, and a noise damper 3 that has been over-molded or over-injected on the barrel 1.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the barrel 1, the noise damper 3, two parts 4 and 5 of the noise damper 3, and a cover 10.
  • FIG. 3 shows the barrel 1, the noise damper 3, the cover 10, the sight 6 and an over-molded or over-injected housing 7 that encloses the parts 4 and 5.
  • Finally, FIG. 4 shows the parts 4 and 5, each comprising partitions 8 and neckings 9. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the noise damper 3 is over-molded or over-injected on the barrel 1.
  • In this way, the noise damper 3 and the barrel 1 form a single, integral part.
  • As can be seen in the section of FIG. 2, the two parts 4 and 5 of the noise damper 3 within the housing 7 define an insulating mechanism of the noise damper 3 by defining an acoustic labyrinth that ends with the cover 10 and provides damping of the firing noise.
  • Upon assembling the parts 4 and 5, the partitions 8 and the neckings 9 on the partitions 8 define a space or passage between the two parts 4 and 5 as an extension of the bore within the barrel 1.
  • In an exemplary embodiment, the sight 6 can be fixed onto the noise damper 3, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • This disclosure describes a new spotting or fire rifle with a noise damper. The examples described here do not limit the present invention, which may have various applications and/or adaptations, all of which are within the scope of the following claims.
