Abstract
A bolt assembly for a firearm, wherein the bolt assembly is intended to move inside an inner cavity of a receiver of the firearm and comprises a body, a removable bolt head, at least one protruding element that tends to protrude elastically from the body, so that when allowed to protrude elastically unhindered, the bolt assembly cannot be inserted inside the inner cavity of the receiver. The connection of the bolt head to the body causes the protruding element to elastically contract, enough to allow the bolt assembly to be inserted inside the inner cavity of the receiver. Thus, a single elastic protruding element enables the user to be warned if trying to assemble the body without the bolt head into the receiver.
Claims20
A bolt assembly for a firearm, where the bolt assembly is configured to move inside an inner cavity of a receiver of the firearm and comprises a body and a removable bolt head, and further comprising:
- at least one protruding element that tends to protrude elastically from the body, so that when allowed to protrude elastically, the bolt assembly cannot be inserted inside the inner cavity of the receiver, and wherein
- the connection of the bolt head to the body causes the protruding element to contract elastically, enough to allow the bolt assembly to be inserted inside the inner cavity of the receiver.
A firearm comprising:
- a barrel;
- a receiver defining an internal channel;
- a bolt for sliding engagement with the internal channel of the receiver, the bolt comprising a bolt body and a removable head portion, and further comprising a bolt blocking member movable between a first position allowing engagement of the bolt with the receiver when the bolt head is properly installed on the bolt body, and a second position resisting engagement of the bolt with the receiver when the bolt head is not properly installed on the bolt body.
A bolt assembly for a firearm, said bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt body;
- and
- a bolt head removably attachable to the bolt body;
- wherein a protruding element coupled to the bolt body is movable between a retracted position when the bolt head is properly attached to the bolt body, and an extended position when the bolt head is not properly attached to the bolt body.
A method of preventing installation of a bolt assembly into a receiver of a firearm when a removable bolt head portion of the bolt assembly is not properly attached to a bolt body portion of the bolt assembly, said method comprising providing a protruding element movable between a retracted position and an extended position, allowing movement of the protruding element to the retracted position when the bolt head is properly attached to the bolt body, and allowing movement of the protruding element to the extended position when the bolt head is not properly attached to the bolt body.
