US12618631 - Suppressor

A suppressor assembly is disclosed. The suppressor can comprise an outer tube defining a barrel axis, a first endcap configured to couple to a barrel of a firearm at a first end of the outer tube, and a spacer assembly in the outer tube. The spacer assembly can be positioned and/or captured between the first endcap and an exit side of the outer tube. The spacer assembly can comprise a plurality of spacers comprising a plurality of small and large diameter baffles oriented in different desirable positions within the spacer assembly. The baffles and spacers can be constructed from different materials so the weight of the baffles are greater than the weight of the spacers.

The patent describes a suppressor assembly for firearms that includes an outer tube, a first endcap for attachment to the firearm barrel, and a spacer assembly containing baffles of varying diameters and materials. The design allows for the baffles to be heavier than the spacers, enhancing the suppressor’s effectiveness while enabling rotational movement of the baffles within the assembly.

Claim 1

1 . An assembly comprising: a spacer assembly comprising: a spacer comprising a spacer material defining a spacer material density; and a baffle comprising a baffle material defining a baffle material density that is different from the spacer material density; wherein: the spacer comprises an elongated section comprising a lip, a gripping section coupled to the elongated section, and an attachment section; and the baffle comprises a base oriented within the lip, wherein the lip restrains the baffle in an axial direction, and the base is free to rotate within the lip. a spacer assembly comprising: a spacer comprising a spacer material defining a spacer material density; and a baffle comprising a baffle material defining a baffle material density that is different from the spacer material density; a spacer comprising a spacer material defining a spacer material density; and a baffle comprising a baffle material defining a baffle material density that is different from the spacer material density; wherein: the spacer comprises an elongated section comprising a lip, a gripping section coupled to the elongated section, and an attachment section; and the baffle comprises a base oriented within the lip, wherein the lip restrains the baffle in an axial direction, and the base is free to rotate within the lip. the spacer comprises an elongated section comprising a lip, a gripping section coupled to the elongated section, and an attachment section; and the baffle comprises a base oriented within the lip, wherein the lip restrains the baffle in an axial direction, and the base is free to rotate within the lip.
