Wilson, Box 1094, Sierra Vista, Ariz. Filed Feb. 10, 1965, Ser. No. 431,746 3 Claims. (Cl. 89-193) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes, without the payment to me of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to a gas operated firearm and more particularly to a firearm bolt mechanism that is operated by gas pressure from a fired .round to lock, unlock a-nd cycle firing thereof.
The present invention is designed .for automatic firearms. T-he bolt of the invention is entirely operated by the energy derived from gas pressure of the fired round and consists simply of a cylindrical sliding bolt having a baille therein. The gas pressure is applied first to the rear then to the front of the baille through ports i-n the barrel to flock and unlock the bolt in firing or load positions. Springs return the bolt to fire position when gas pressure drops therein.
It is a principal object of rthis invention to provide a firearm in which the bolt yaction thereof is solely controlled by gas pressure generated by -a fired rou-nd therein.
Another object is to provide a firearm having a bolt mechanism which is reliable yet eliminating many mechanical parts and their necessary machining.
A further object is to provide a bolt mechanism for a firearm having longer life due to the elimination of locking and unlocking mechanisms that fail due to wear.
A final obje-ct is to provide a gas operated bolt mechanism providing greater safety in its use.
The specific nature of the invention as well as other objects and advantages thereof, will clearly appear from a description of a preferred embodiment as shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. :1 is an -axial section of the bolt mech-anism of the invention and showing a portion of a weapon in which it is mounted, the bolt being in firing positon; and,
FIG. 2 is a similar view showing the bolt in its retracted or loading position.
Referring to the drawing, reference character 1 indicates a firearm generally.
The bolt mechanism of the invention is indicated generally by 2.
Only a portion of the firearm 1 is shown and it includes a tubular casing 3. A barrel -4 is mounted axially therein and sa loading clip 5 having cartridges 6 is shown attached to casing 3. The showing of the elements enumerated is purely schematic and is illustrated by way of example.
The bolt mechanism 2 comprises a tubular sleeve 7, closed at its rearward end 8. A bolt is indicated by 9 and is shown threadably mounted `as at 10 in end 8, Bolt 8 usually contains the necessary firing pin and extraction mechanism, not shown.
Bolt mechanism 2 is slidable in the tubular casing 3 of firearm 1. Bolt 9 is slidable in a bore 11 in a guide cylinder 12 which is secured in the rearward portion of sleeve 7.
Barrel 4 is provided with a cylindrical thickened portion 13 at its rearward end and portion 13 is provided with a reduced threaded portion 14 which is -threadably secured to guide cylinder 12.
Barrel 4 is provided with a series of spaced ports 15 and 16 as shown.
A first baille 17 is secured by threads 18 to sleeve 7. Batlle 17 is provided with la bore .19 which receives barrel 4 slidably therein.
A second baille 20 is secured on barrel 4 and is slidable therewith in sleeve 7.
A floating piston 22 having a bore 23 is slidable on barrel 4 and in sleeve 7.
A first coil spring 24 encircles barrel 4 between first baffle 17 and thickened portion 13 of barrel 4 while a second coil spring 25 encircles barrel 4 between second baille 20 and first baille `17. Sprl-ng `25 is heavier than spring 24, as shown.
The area between first baille 17 and thickened portion 13 will be designated as 26 -while the area between second baille 20y and fi-rst baffle 17 will be designated by 27.
Barrel 4 is provided with the usual bore 28 and a firing chamber 29 in the breech end thereof.
Cartridges 6 in clip 5 are generally spring biased so that they are urged into position in the breech end of the firearm 1 and a slot 30 is provided in sleeve 7 and another slot 31 is provided in guide cylinder y12. for this purpose. The manner in which the cartridge 6 is positioned for ramming into the firing chamber 29 by bolt 9 is not illustrated, since .it forms no .part of this invention. Also necessary firing mechanism such as a trigger mechanism, cartridge ejecting mechanism are not shown as these also do not form a part of this invention and are not shown for simplification of the drawing.
Operation As shown in FIG. 1, the firearm is in firing position, the bolt 2 being forward and there being a cartridge 6 in the firing chamber 29. When cartridge 6 is fired, the bolt 2 is momentarily held closed by inertia thus permitting the cartridge to move from firing chamber -29 and through bore 28 in barrel 4 to the 4airea 26 just beyond the first gas ports 15. Gas under pressure from the firing enters area 26 and pushes forward on first baille 17, thus holding the bolt assembly 2 snugly closed in an obturating position.
As the cartridge 6 passes the second gas .ports 16, gas under pressure enters area 27 and causes floating piston 20 to move rearwardly to compress second coil spring 25.
By this time, the cartridge 6 has left the bore 28 and all gas pressures in Iareas 26 and 27 have begun to decrease therein. At this point the backward recoil of the cartridge shell of cartridge 6 in the firing chamber 29 combines its force with that of second coil spring 25 to accelerate the bolt assembly 2 rearwardly (see PIG. 2).
All the gas pressures in the barrel bore 4 and areas 26 and 27 have now dropped to zero and piston 22 has moved to its position as shown in FIG. 1 under influence of spring 25.
As is usual in firearms, bolt 9 has ejected the spent cartridge shell of cartridge 6 in firing chamber by its rearward travel and picks u-p another cartridge 6 from clip 5 as it moves forward from its retracted position under bias of spring 24 and, bolt 9 rams another cartridge `6 from clip 5 into firing chamber 29.
The cycle is now repeated, and, as long las -there are cartridges in clip 5, the gun continues its fire, since it is fully automatic. The cycle repeats itself when the bolt 9 is closed on a round.
The firearm of the invention is adaptable to fire rounds of different pressure ranges by adjusting the size of springs 24 and 25. However, the amount of gas pressure applied to the back side of the bolt will automatically adjust in proportions to compensate for variations in rounds. Low pressure rounds apply a lower pressure to the rear of the bolt than do high pressure rounds.
Variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concept of the present invention as set forth in the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. In combination with a firearm including a casing, a barrel having a longitudinal bore secured axially in said casing, there being a firing chamber in the breech end of said barrel and a means for feeding cartridges to said firing chamber; a bolt mechanism slidably mounted in said casing, said bolt mechanism having rst and second areas therein, there being a series of ports in said barrel'andk being in communication with each said area whereby when a cartridge is red from said firing chamber, gas pressure generated thereby will enter said first area to hold said bolt mechanism in a position to obturate said breech end of said barrel and then into said second area to move said breech mechanism to a recycling position.
