A novel locking mechanism for a noise suppressor mount for a firearm comprising a muzzle attachment comprising a plurality of locking positions, a collar, and a locking arm comprising a locking notch wherein the collar rotates to move the locking notch in a circular direction into a locking position.
Claims15
A noise suppressor locking mechanism for a firearm comprising:
- a muzzle attachment comprising a first threaded interface and a plurality of locking positions;
- a collar comprising a locking slot and a proximal end;
- a noise suppressor comprising a proximal end cap wherein the proximal end cap comprises a first proximal end cap slot, a second proximal end cap slot, and a second threaded interface;
- a locking arm comprising a locking notch, a collar pin, a first proximal end cap pin, and a second proximal end cap pin wherein the collar pin can be positioned within the locking slot, the first proximal end cap pin can be positioned within the first proximal end cap slot, and the second proximal end cap pin can be positioned within the second proximal end cap slot;
- and
- wherein the noise suppressor attaches to the muzzle attachment by joining the first threaded interface with the second threaded interface;
- and
- wherein the collar rotates the locking arm in order to move the locking notch in a circular direction into a locking position.
