AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, many technical difficulties still exist with the attachment of the suppressors to the firearm.
One problem relates to the excessive play in attaching the suppressor.
While it is understood that the bore of the suppressor has to be accurately aligned with the bore of the barrel, excessive play often adversely affects the accuracy of the firearm.
Another problem is attachment of the suppressor without properly securing the suppressor on the firearm.
Suppressors that are not properly secured have a disturbing tendency to occasionally blow off of the firearm when the firearm fired.
Even suppressors that appear to be tightly secured may loosen during firing, causing too much play, and possibly causing the suppressor to be blown off.
Additional problems include taking too long to mount the suppressor on or remove the suppressor from the barrel.
For example, suppressors that are threaded directly on the barrel often require an inconveniently long time to screw the suppressor securely to the barrel or to unscrew the suppressor from the barrel.
Other methods and devices used to mount the suppressor are often too complicated or require the use of tools.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to an adaptor for a suppressor comprising a gate for locking the suppressor on the muzzle and a threaded receiver for securing the suppressor to the firearm such that excessive play of the suppressor is removed. It is further directed to a method of securing a suppressor on a firearm by engaging a gate on an adaptor in a groove on a barrel of the firearm to lock on the adaptor, and any attached suppressor, and then tightening the suppressor and the adaptor on the barrel by threading the suppressor into the adaptor until excessive play is removed.
