Abstract
A system for a firearm having a timeable brake and a suppressor. The brake comprises a brake body, a first taper, and a collar configured to rotate independently of the brake body. The suppressor comprises a second taper. When the brake body is oriented in a selected orientation with respect to the suppressor, a force is applied to wedge the first taper into the second taper and rotationally lock the selected orientation of the brake body. Rotation of the collar to a locked position then secures the brake body to the suppressor.
Claims20
A system for a firearm comprising:
- a brake comprising:
- a brake body having a proximal end;
- the proximal end having an outer surface having a first taper;
- and
- a collar connected to the proximal end of the brake body, the collar configured to independently rotate around the proximal end of the brake body, and the collar having an inner surface having one or more inner threads;
- a suppressor comprising:
- a suppressor body having a distal end;
- the distal end comprising an aperture, an inner surface having a second taper, and an outer surface having one or more outer threads;
- wherein the aperture of the distal end of the suppressor is configured to receive the proximal end of the brake and the first taper is configured receive the second taper;
- wherein the one or more inner threads of the collar are configured to engage with the one or more outer threads of the suppressor;
- and
- wherein, when the brake body is oriented in a selected orientation with respect to the suppressor body, rotation of the collar to a locked position secures the brake body to the suppressor body.
A brake comprising:
- a brake body having a proximal end;
- the proximal end having an outer surface having a first taper configured to engage with a second taper of a distal end of a suppressor or an adapter;
- and
- a collar connected to the proximal end of the brake body, the collar configured to independently rotate around the proximal end of the brake body, and the collar having an inner surface having one or more inner threads;
- wherein the one or more inner threads of the collar are configured to engage with one or more outer threads of at least one of the suppressor or the adapter;
- and
- wherein, when the brake body is oriented in a selected orientation with respect to the suppressor or the adapter, rotation of the collar to a locked position secures the brake body to the suppressor or the adapter.
A method of manufacturing a system for a firearm, the method comprising:
- forming a brake comprising:
- a brake body having a proximal end;
- the proximal end having an outer surface having a first taper configured to engage with a second taper of a distal end of a suppressor or an adapter;
- and
- a collar connected to the proximal end of the brake body, the collar configured to independently rotate around the proximal end of the brake body, and the collar having an inner surface having one or more inner threads;
- wherein the one or more inner threads of the collar are configured to engage with one or more outer threads of at least one of the suppressor or the adapter;
- and
- wherein, when the brake body is oriented in a selected orientation with respect to the suppressor or adapter, rotation of the collar to a locked position secures the brake body to the suppressor or the adapter.
