Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of firearms and more particularly relates to a firearm bolt which may be adapted to either left-sided or right-sided ejection of spend ammunition from said firearm.
  • the present invention is an ambidextrous firearm bolt which utilizes a central bolt head structure which may be inserted and used in either side of a bolt carrier, thereby allowing for ejection on either side of a firearm.
  • the present invention represents a departure from the prior art in that the ambidextrous bolt of the present invention allows for the easy conversion from right to left-handed ejection in a firearm, or vice versa with the use and adaptation of a single component structure.
  • an improved ambidextrous bolt may provide a that meets the following objectives: that it be a single component part of the firearm, even if comprising individual sub-components, with no interchange of parts for others to make the conversion; that it be simple and easy to operate and convert, and that it be cost effective in construction.
  • a new and improved ambidextrous firearm bolt may comprise elongate bolt head with an ejector, the bolt head also designed to alternately fit in a bolt carrier in a manner to allow left and right- handed ejection of spent cartridges in order to accomplish these objectives.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an ambidextrous firearm bolt, in a right-handed configuration.
  • Figure 2 is a top plan view of the firearm bolt of FIG. 1 .
  • Figure 3 is an exploded view of the firearm bolt of FIG. 1 .
  • Figure 4 is a partial exploded view of the firearm bolt of FIG. 1 , in a left- handed configuration.
  • Figures 5A - 5I are successive perspective view of the firearm bolt of FIG. 1 , being converted from left-sided to right-sided use.
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view of a firearm bolt and associated shotgun shell.
  • Figure 7 is a partial section of the firearm bolt and shell of FIG. 6.
  • Figure 8 is a side elevation of the partial cross-section of FIG. 7.
  • Figure 9 is a close-up of the firearm bolt and shell of FIG. 8, taken in circle A.
  • Figures 10A - 10F are successive top plan views of the firearm bolt of FIG. 1 , progressing through a firing cycle.
  • FIGS. 11 A - 11 F are successive front plan views of the firearm bolt of FIGS.
  • the ambidextrous firearm bolt is herein described.
  • the articles “a”,“an”, and“the”, as used in this specification include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.
  • the illustrated firearm bolt is primarily made for a shot gun, thus the use of a shot gun shell in FIGS. 6-9. However, this is only illustrative and the use of the firearm bolt with any suitable firearm should be understood to be included within the purview of the invention.
  • the term“cartridge” should be read to include any self- contained ammunition unit with an explosive charge and a payload, including a shotgun shell.
  • the firearm bolt 10 contains the firing pin 130 and comprises a carrier 1 10 and a bolt body 120.
  • the bolt body 120 has a bulbous bolt head 122 designed to interface with a firearm cartridge and more narrow neck 124 while the carrier features two opposed helical slots 112, 114 on its dorsal side.
  • a selector pin 126 may reside within either one of the opposed helical slots 112, 114, depending on the configuration of the bolt.
  • the selector pin 126 is positioned in the bolt neck 124 in one of two provided selector holes 125.
  • a lock pin 128 is utilized as a final securement pin for the whole bolt assembly, being located proximate an end of the bolt body 120 opposite the head 122.
  • Carrier 110 may be of any general shape to comport with the firearm itself, as may bolt body 120.
  • the bolt head 122 features a plurality of lugs (usually, but not necessarily, three) 130, one of which has an extractor 134 residing in a slot 132.
  • the extractor 134 is spring loaded 136 in a manner to latch on to some form of cartridge ammunition (be it a shotgun shell or rifle cartridge) when interacting with the same and then releasing it when biased against spring pressure.
  • the firearm bolt may be converted from left- handed to right-handed election.
  • the bolt 10 starts in left handed ejection and the bolt body 120 is compressed into the bolt carrier 110.
  • the bulbous head 122 prevents the bolt body 120 passing entirely through the bolt carrier 110.
  • the selector pin 125 is in the left helical slot 112 which is denoted with an“L”, though any denotation scheme would suffice.
  • selector pin 126 may also be removed (FIG. 5D). It should be noted that a hole in selector pin 126
  • selector pin 126 accommodates firing pin 140, which secures selector pin 126 in place.
  • Other means like a ball detent may also be used.
  • FIGS. 10A - 10F and 11 A - 11 F the bolt 10, including bolt body 120 and carrier 110 present a cartridge into battery position.
  • the cartridge 140 is first grasped by the extractor 134 when the bolt 10 is in a reloading position (FIGS. 6-9), usually at the opposite end of the bolt stroke than battery.
  • the extractor 134 is biased against spring pressure into an open position, allowing the cartridge 150 to be seated within a rim 123 in the bolt head (FIG. 9). This is usually accomplished by an interaction with the receiver.
  • the spring pressure engages the extractor 134 about a rim of the cartridge.
  • the bolt 10 then pushes the cartridge 150 into battery.
  • the cartridge 150 and bolt body 120 may not move any further forward (10A, 11 A), however, the carrier 110 continues forward (10B, 11 B). This continued forward movement forces the selector pin 126 to act against the helical slot 112 in which it resides, causing a gradual twisting motion to be imparted on the bolt body 120 (10C, 11 C). As the twisting continues, the extractor 134 moves into a 12:00 o’clock position (10E, 11 E) and the firing pin 130 is released, causing an initial recoil of the bolt body 120 (10F, 11 F) and sends the whole bolt 10 away from battery to begin the firing cycle again.
  • the extractor 134 maintains its hold on the cartridge 150 until it interfaces with the receiver or other structure again, thereby opening and releasing the cartridge 150 out the ejection port.
  • the selection of direction shown in FIGS. 5A - 5I changes the direction of the twist in relation to the firearm, allowing the eventual ejection to occur through either a right or left port.
  • the present invention has industrial applicability as it may be manufactured as a product of industry and is a component for a firearm. As such, it may be fashioned of any suitable material, with preference given to metals such as steel.
  • the individual shape of the components may be driven by the eventual shape and geometry of the firearm in which the bolt is intended to be used.
  • the bulbous nature of the bolt body may be increased or reduced, even to the point of no longer being bulbous per se, as necessary to secure ammunition and also pass through the mechanism of the firearm.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une culasse d'arme à feu ambidextre (10) pouvant être conçue pour éjecter depuis le côté gauche ou droit d'une arme à feu. La culasse d'arme à feu (10) comprend un percuteur (140) se trouvant à l'intérieur d'un corps de culasse (120) se trouvant à son tour à l'intérieur d'un support de culasse (110). Le corps de culasse (120) peut être inséré de chaque côté du support de culasse (110) et comprend une broche de sélection (126) conçue pour interagir avec des fentes (112, 114) de chaque côté du support de culasse (110), conférant ainsi de manière sélective une torsion par rapport à l'arme à feu elle-même, permettant l'éjection ambidextre. Un verrou d'extracteur à ressort (134) situé dans une patte de culasse (130) fixe la munition en vue d'une extraction.
