Abstract
Novel noise suppressors to attach to firearms comprising a unitary longitudinal baffle system that comprises two elongated bodies containing baffle sections that are assembled together with an outer tube and two end caps.
Claims12
A suppressor for a firearm comprising:
- an outer tube comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the outer tube having a longitudinal axis;
- a proximal end cap defining a bore centered on the longitudinal axis and comprising:
- a proximal end adapted to be coupled to a firearm;
- and
- a first interface that is threaded and located at a distal end of the proximal end cap;
- a distal end cap defining a bore centered on the longitudinal axis and comprising a second interface that is threaded and located at the proximal end of the distal end cap;
- a first elongated body comprising:
- a proximal end comprising a first semi-circular body having an exterior surface with threads covering at least a portion thereof;
- a distal end comprising a second semi-circular body comprising an exterior surface with threads covering at least a portion thereof;
- a first baffle section comprising:
- a proximal end defining a semi-circular bore aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- a distal end defining a semi-circular bore aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- an outer surface comprising an aperture, wherein the outer surface of the first baffle section is narrower at the proximal end of the first baffle section than at the distal end of the first baffle section;
- and
- an alignment tab;
- a second elongated body comprising:
- a proximal end comprising a third semi-circular body comprising an exterior surface with threads covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the proximal end;
- a distal end comprising a fourth semi-circular body comprising an exterior surface with threads covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the distal end;
- a second baffle section comprising:
- a proximal end defining a semi-circular bore aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- a distal end defining a semi-circular bore aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- and
- an outer surface wherein the outer surface of the second baffle section is narrower at the proximal end of the second baffle section than at the distal end of the second baffle section;
- wherein the first elongated body and second elongated body are joined utilizing the alignment tab to form a unitary longitudinal baffle system, wherein:
- the first baffle section and second baffle section form a first substantially conical baffle;
- the first and third semi-circular bodies form a first circular body with threads covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the first circular body that attaches to the first interface of the proximal end cap;
- the second and fourth semi-circular bodies form a second circular body with threads covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the second circular body that attaches to the second interface of the distal end cap;
- and
- wherein the unitary longitudinal baffle system is disposed within the outer tube.

A suppressor for a firearm comprising:
- an outer shell comprising a longitudinal axis;
- a proximal end adapted to be coupled to a firearm with a bore aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- a distal end opposite the proximal end with a bore aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- a first elongated body comprising a first baffle section;
- a second elongated body comprising a second baffle section;
- and
- wherein the first elongated body and second elongated body are removably joined to form a unitary longitudinal baffle system, such that the first baffle section and second baffle section mate together to form a baffle and comprise a bore aligned with the longitudinal axis when the unitary longitudinal baffle system is disposed within the outer shell.
