Benefits of technology

The present disclosure describes a way to use special sleeves on firearms suppressors and gun barrels to reduce heat transfer, noise, and vibration. The sleeves are designed to be used individually or in segments to cover any part of the gun barrel or suppressor. They are installed by sliding onto the outside of the suppressor and can fit any manufacturer's suppressor. The sleeves have insulating rings and gaps that allow hot air to cool and diffuse during use, providing a secure grip and reducing movement. The "technical effect" of the invention is to improve the performance and safety of firearms by reducing heat transfer, noise, and vibration.

Problems solved by technology

In addition to being dangerous to touch when heated, suppressors are fully exposed to impact damage.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]With reference to FIG. 1, a representative weapon W has a barrel B equipped with a suppressor which is substantially covered by a suppressor sleeve assembly, indicated generally at 10. As illustrated in isolation in FIG. 2, a particular embodiment of the suppressor sleeve assembly 10 may include one or more sleeves 20, and one or more caps 30. The sleeves 20 can be manufactured in any nominal dimensions of outer diameter, inner diameter, wall thickness, length. Although the illustrated embodiment has a generally cylindrical configuration, other configurations are within the scope of the disclosure, such as for example a non-cylindrical exterior or interior surface with one or more planar surfaces. The sleeves 20 can be of any length manufacturable with a bore for receiving a barrel muzzle.

[0019]As further illustrated in FIGS. 3-10, preferred embodiments of the sleeves 20 have one or more ribs or rings 22 on an exterior surface, oriented generally radially and perpendicular wit...

Abstract

Suppressor sleeves have longitudinal interior splines and venting valleys and exterior ribs arranged at angles relative to the interior splines. One or more sleeves and caps are combined to provide suppressor sleeve assemblies.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is related to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 610,731, filed Mar. 14, 2012.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure and related inventions are in the general field of firearms and firearm accessories.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Firearm suppressors or “silencers” are attachments for gun muzzles designed to capture and divert the gases and air displaced from the muzzle of a barrel created by the explosive force of ammunition firing, and to suppress the sound of the firing and reduce muzzle flash. The term “silencer” is defined by ATF as, “any device for silencing, muffling or diminishing the report of a portable firearm.” Gun barrel and muzzle temperatures can reach 1500 degrees F. or greater under continuous firing or repetitious semi or fully automatic firing. Suppressors, which can be made of a variety of materials including weapons grade steel and alloys, are attached directly to the muzzle and may become he...
