GAS REGULATOR FOR A FIREARM Filed A ril '7, 1954 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 QTTOEIYE- Y5 GAS REGULATOR .FOR A FIREARM Ear e M. Harvey, Agawam, Mass, assignor to the United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Application April 7, 1954, Serial No. 421,717 4 Claims. (Cl. 89-493) (Granted under Title35 U. S. Code (1952), see. 266) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government forgovernmental'purposes without the payment of 'any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to gas-operated firearms and more particularly to improvements in the gas systems thereof.
it is an object of this invention to provide for tirearms, a gas system wherein the parts are easily disassembled and assembled.
It is anoti er object of this invention to provide for gas-operated firearms a gas regulator device which may be removed and replaced without changing the predetermined adjustment setting thereof.
it is a further object of this invention to provide for a firearm gas system, a separately replaceable gas cylinder which is locked in position 'by thegas regulator device.
it is a still further object o'fthisinverrtion to provide for automatic firearms a gas system wherein the piston is provided with a longer power stroke in terms of time and distance and a lower maximum velocity.
it is the specific object of this invention to provide for firearm systems an easily adjusted gas regulator device wherein the adjustment orifice and valve remain relatively frec of harmful carbon and/ or metallic deposits.
The specific object of the invention "as Welles other objects and advantages will clearly appear from a description of the preferred embodiment as shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary partially cross-sectional side view of the gas system of a'firearm;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the gas regulator valve assembly; and
Fig. 3 is a perspective. exploded view of the gassystem.
Shown in the figures is a firearm barrel 12 having a cylindrical bearing portion 13 with a radial gas port 14 and a transverse chorda'l channel 15 provided therein. Mounted to barrel 1-2 is a-bracket '16 having a cylindrical sleeve portion 17 arranged to snugly encircle bearing portion 13. A tapered pin 18 is mounted transversely through sleeve 17 to be received by channel '15 for fixedly securing bracket 16 to barrel 12. Integral with the top portion of sleeve 17 is a body 19,including--a substantially rectangular housing 2! which extends beyond the front end of sleeve 17 to 'form a forwardly projecting portion 21. Provided through body 19 is a longitudinal hole 22 which forms a semicylindrical channel 23 in the underside of projecting portion 21. A radial passageway 24 of slightly larger diameter than .gas port 114 is arranged through the underside of housing 24) for alignment with such gas port. lrovided radially through the top portion of housing 2%, diametrically opposite passageway 24, is a cylindrical aperturefi l WhiChiiS Of larger diameter than such passageway. Aperture '25 is counterbored and threaded from the top side of housing 20, as noted at 39, to form an annular shoulder 26.
Slidably and rotatably received by hole 22 is a gas cylinder member 27 having a smaller outside diameter ftatcs Patent portion 28 receivable by such hole and a larger outside diameter portion 29 which extends longitudinally forward 1 from an annular step portion 30. Projecting from the circumference of smaller diameter portion 28 is a semiannular lug 31 which is arranged to be rotatably received in a mating groove 32, provided in semicylindrical portion 23, when step 36 is in engagement with the front side of housing 20, whereby gas cylinder 27 is secured against linear displacement.
A hexagonal headed bushing 42 is arranged to be threadably received by counterbore 39 and to bottom against shoulder 26, thus, sealing the gases from the threadedportion. Bushing 42 is held in place by a nut 43 thread-ably engaged therewith which is tightened against housing Extending axially through bushing 42 is a threaded bore 44 which is arranged to threadably receive in clockwise rotation a regulator screw 45. Regulator screw 45 is comprised of a head portion d6, suitably slotted for turning, a threaded portion 47 cooperable with bore 44, a rod portion 4% of smaller diameter than such threaded portion and an annular ledge portion 53 formed by the junction of such threaded and rod portions. Rod portion 48 is arranged to be snugly received by hole 41 and aperture 25, whereby gas cylinder 27 is secured against displacement to bracket 16, and is terminated by a conical portion 49. Conical portion 49 is arranged to be axially received by gas port 38, which is of smaller diameter, for cooperation with orifice it? to regulate the passage of gases from barrel 12 to bore 33 of gas cylinder 27.
A check nut 52 is threadably engaged to threaded portion 47 for securing regulator screw &5 against rotation after being adjusted. Provided in each face of the hexagonal head of bushing 42 is an inscribed numerical reference 50, which progress seriaiiy from 1-6 in counterclockwise direction, and alignable therewith is an index mark 51 on the circumference of head id of regulator screw 45.
In operation, the gases from an exploded cartridge enter gas port 14 after the projectile has passed thereby and pass through passageway 24 and gas port 38 to be metered at orifice 44 by conical portion 4) of regulator screw 45. The metered gases enter bore 33 of gas cylinder 27 and proceed to fill such bore and reservoir chamber 36. When the pressure of the gases in chamber 36 and bore 33 is sufficient, piston 35 is actuated thereby to a recoil position. It is obvious that with the comparatively large reservoir provided by bore 33 and chamber 36, an accelerated pressure is applied to piston 35 rather than an instantaneous impact as in most conventional gas systems. Further, after the cartridge projectile has left the muzzle of barrel 12, whereby the gas commences its power stroke before the gases in chamber 3 36 are brought to maximum pressure and continues during the pressurizing of the chamber and after the projectile has left the bore of barrel 12. Thus, the power stroke of piston 35 is increased in terms of time and distance and has a lower maximum velocity than those in conventional gas systems.
Moreover, as bore 33 and chamber 36 receive a comparatively large volume of gases the velocity of the gases passing over conical portion 49 and the associated gas ports into gas cylinder 27 blow the debris of carbon and/or metallic deposits therefrom. Also, as the locations of the adjustment portions of the gas system are relatively close to the bore of barrel 12, the heat of the gases are cooled very 'little as they pass thereby. Consequently, nearly all of the contamination present in the gases remain in a gaseous state until after passing orifice 4-0.
If at any time it is necessary to remove gas cylinder 27, nut 43 is unloosened to free bushing 42 which may then be removed from counterbore 39 with regulator screw 45 being withdrawn from aperture and hole 41. Gas cylinder 27 may then be rotated to free lug 31 from groove 32 and withdrawn forwardly from bracket 16. Because regulator screw 45 need not be disturbed from its adjustment relationship with bushing 42 during disassembly of gas cylinder 27. as best shown in Fig. 2, when bushing 42 is reinstalled in counterbore 39 and bottomed against shoulder 26 the gas system is in the same adjustment as before disassembly, thus saving considerable time. In event regulator screw 45 is disassembled from bushing 42, the relationship of index mark 51 with the associated inscribed numerals St is a reminder to the operator of the setting to which the regulator screw should be repositioned at assembly.
From the foregoing, it is very apparent that there is here provided a firearm gas system in which the regulating means are kept free of foreign deposits and which is provided with a long power stroke, in terms of time and distance and a low maximum velocity and is easily adjusted, assembled and disassembled.
Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail herein, it is evident that many variations may be devised within the spirit and scope thereof and the following claims are intended to include such variations.
