US12618630 - Modular firearm suppressor

The patent describes a modular firearm suppressor that features a mount, a first module without baffles, and a second module containing multiple baffles with a unique peripheral pathway for gas flow. This design aims to improve sound suppression while maintaining alignment and ease of attachment to a firearm barrel.

Claim 1

1 . A firearm suppressor comprising: a mount having a first central opening and a second central opening with a first central pathway through the mount from the first central opening to the second central opening, the mount configured to be connected to a barrel of a firearm, the first central pathway configured to be aligned with a bore of the barrel; a first module, the first module connected to the mount, the first module having a third central opening and a fourth central opening with a second central pathway through the first module from the third central opening to the fourth central opening, the interior of the first module being a first chamber, wherein the first module does not include a baffle and wherein the second central pathway is aligned with the first central pathway; a second module, the second module connected to the first module, the second module having a fifth central opening and a sixth central opening with a third central pathway through the second module from the fifth central opening to the sixth central opening, the second module having a plurality of baffles positioned along the third central pathway between the fifth central opening and the sixth central opening with each baffle of the plurality of baffles having a central aperture aligned with the third central pathway, a first baffle of said plurality of baffles of said second module extending a distance beyond said fifth central opening and into said first module, wherein said plurality of baffles of said second module are linear, the third central pathway being aligned with the second central pathway, the second module includes at least one peripheral pathway, the at least one peripheral pathway is not coaxially aligned with the third central pathway and the at least one peripheral pathway bypasses a second baffle of the plurality of baffles by fluidly connecting an exterior of said first baffle of the plurality of baffles with an exterior of a third baffle of the plurality of baffles; and an end cap, the end cap connected to the second module, the end cap having a seventh central opening and an eighth central opening with a fourth central pathway through the end cap from the seventh central opening to the eighth central opening, the fourth central pathway being aligned with the third central pathway; each of said mount, said first module, and said second module having a thread and a locking surface wherein said thread of said mount engages said first module before said locking surface of said mount, and wherein said thread of said second module engages said first module before said locking surface of said second module so as to maintain alignment of said mount, said first module and said second module. a mount having a first central opening and a second central opening with a first central pathway through the mount from the first central opening to the second central opening, the mount configured to be connected to a barrel of a firearm, the first central pathway configured to be aligned with a bore of the barrel; a first module, the first module connected to the mount, the first module having a third central opening and a fourth central opening with a second central pathway through the first module from the third central opening to the fourth central opening, the interior of the first module being a first chamber, wherein the first module does not include a baffle and wherein the second central pathway is aligned with the first central pathway; a second module, the second module connected to the first module, the second module having a fifth central opening and a sixth central opening with a third central pathway through the second module from the fifth central opening to the sixth central opening, the second module having a plurality of baffles positioned along the third central pathway between the fifth central opening and the sixth central opening with each baffle of the plurality of baffles having a central aperture aligned with the third central pathway, a first baffle of said plurality of baffles of said second module extending a distance beyond said fifth central opening and into said first module, wherein said plurality of baffles of said second module are linear, the third central pathway being aligned with the second central pathway, the second module includes at least one peripheral pathway, the at least one peripheral pathway is not coaxially aligned with the third central pathway and the at least one peripheral pathway bypasses a second baffle of the plurality of baffles by fluidly connecting an exterior of said first baffle of the plurality of baffles with an exterior of a third baffle of the plurality of baffles; and an end cap, the end cap connected to the second module, the end cap having a seventh central opening and an eighth central opening with a fourth central pathway through the end cap from the seventh central opening to the eighth central opening, the fourth central pathway being aligned with the third central pathway; each of said mount, said first module, and said second module having a thread and a locking surface wherein said thread of said mount engages said first module before said locking surface of said mount, and wherein said thread of said second module engages said first module before said locking surface of said second module so as to maintain alignment of said mount, said first module and said second module.
