3667 results about "Gun barrel" patented technology

A gun barrel is a crucial part of gun-type ranged weapons such as small firearms, artillery pieces and air guns. It is the straight shooting tube, usually made of rigid high-strength metal, through which a contained rapid expansion of high-pressure gas(es) is introduced (via propellant combustion or mechanical compression) behind a projectile in order to propel it out of the front end (muzzle) at a high velocity. The hollow interior of the barrel is called the bore, and the diameter of the bore is called its caliber, usually measured in inches or millimetres.

Muzzleloading firearm projectile

A muzzle loading firearm projectile is disclosed that is composed of a multi diameter, hollow base solid copper bullet, the rear cavity filled with a material of low-density, and a gas pressure seal that separates the bullet from the powder charge. The majority of the bullet shank has a diameter less than the bore diameter of the firearm barrel to allow for ease of loading and alignment of the barrel and bullet axis; a narrow ring of material larger than the barrel bore diameter but less than the groove diameter is located at the junction of the bullet shank and nose profile that centers the bullet in the barrel and positively positions the bullet over the powder charge regardless of orientation of the firearm. The low-density material filling the rear cavity of the bullet acts as an expansion medium when impacted by the rear gas seal during the firing process causing the hollow shank of the bullet to expand and lock into the barrel rifling.

Injection devices

A one-shot throwaway injection device has a barrel that houses a syringe initially in a retracted state held back by a trigger against a drive spring. Actuation of the trigger causes the syringe to be thrust forwards by the spring acting on its plunger until the needle is fully projecting, and then the dose is ejected by the final expansion of the spring. Release of the trigger allows a return spring to urge the syringe back and retract the needle. The barrel is a unitary plastics moulding of two longitudinally split halves hinged together with the trigger integrally formed with one of these halves. The other components and the syringe are positioned in one half which is then closed up and fastened to the other half to complete the barrel.

Safety syringe needle device with interchangeable and retractable needle platform

The syringe includes a barrel, a plunger, and an adapter for mounting the needle in the distal end of the barrel. The adapter includes a protrusion projecting away from the needle end and into the barrel defining an annular space between the barrel and the protrusion. The plunger and protrusion have complementary surfaces whereby the plunger may grip the adapter for removal of the adapter into the interior of the barrel after use. These complementary surfaces afford initial resistance to further axial movement of the plunger toward the adapter, signalling the user that further axial pressure will permanently lock the plunger and adapter to one another whereby, upon application of full axial pressure on the plunger, the complementary surfaces of the plunger and adapter permanently lock to one another to enable joint unitary movement of the plunger and adapter together with the needle carried by the adapter into the barrel. The adapter includes vent passages communicating between the central passage through the adapter and the annular space whereby air can be vented from the barrel after receiving fluid within the barrel and prior to injection. Thus, the syringe may be oriented in a vertical position needle end uppermost with the vent passages forming the most superior portion of the barrel interior whereby air may be vented.

Handguard system integrated to a firearm

InactiveUS7523580B1Substantial weightSubstantial size savingButtsEngineeringGun barrel
Existing floating handguards have the problem of adding size and weight to M16 style gas operated rifles because these tubular handguards attach to a relatively large diametral surface which lies outward of a firearm operating member or gas tube. Existing handguards are mounted thus so that the handguard inside surface will mechanically clear the gas tube. The present invention solves this problem by providing a handguard system integrated to a firearm, the system having a one-piece extended barrel nut with a smaller diameter outer surface configured to lie inward of the gas tube, between the gas tube and the barrel. A one-piece generally tubular handguard has an outer surface with a longitudinal rib and an inner surface with an inner diameter and a groove which is aligned with the rib. The handguard inner diameter engages the barrel nut outer surface and the groove provides clearance for the gas tube. The rib is configured to maintain the rigidity of the handguard adjacent the groove.
