Abstract
An improved design for a suppressor which suppresses sound from a gun report as well as reduces heat transference therefrom.
Claims20
An insulated suppressor for a rifle comprising:
- a blast baffle;
- a monocore baffle stack;
- and
- an insulating sleeve comprising;
- a continuous cylindrical wall;
- a distal end cap, comprising a first recess, wherein the first recess contains a distal end cap insulation disk;
- a proximal end cap, comprising a second recess, wherein the second recess contains a proximal end cap insulation disc;
- the insulating sleeve substantially covering the entirety of a suppressor a second continuous cylindrical wall of the suppressor.

A method for reducing noise and heat generated from a suppressor comprising;
- integrally forming an insulating sleeve around a suppressor;
- wherein the insulating sleeve comprises;
- a continuous cylindrical wall;
- a distal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a distal end cap insulation disk;
- a proximal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a proximal end cap insulation disc;
- forming the insulating sleeve to substantially cover an outer surface of the suppressor;
- forming a void around at least a circumference of the suppressor;
- and
- filling the void with an insulating material.
6 more elements
An insulated suppressor for a rifle comprising:
- an inner insulating wall forming a continuous cylinder;
- an outer insulating wall forming a continuous cylinder;
- wherein the outer and inner insulating walls define a sealed void between the inner and outer insulating wall;
- a distal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a distal end cap insulation disk;
- a proximal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a proximal end cap insulation disc;
- wherein the continuous cylinder of the inner insulating wall surrounds:
- a blast baffle;
- and
- a monocore baffle stack;
- and
- wherein a carbon fiber wrap at least partially surrounds the outer insulating wall.
