Problems solved by technology

While this has the intended effects, the approach has limitations from gaps or holes that arise as the projectiles disperse from the axis in their flight.
Although numerous attachments, chokes, and other forms of projectile pattern shaping devices have been designed heretofore, whether it be for shotgun muzzles or forms of nozzles, none have adequately and reliably solved the problem of predetermined projectile distribution.
Such devices are generally bulky, difficult and/or dangerous to use, and do not provide results in accordance with the intended or desired purpose.
Although certain of these devices have, in fact, tended to achieve some predetermined pattern of shot, the pattern has not been reasonably predictable, nor has the success in achieving such a pattern been consistent over a plurality of firings.
These designs also suffer from gaps or holes in the pattern that compromise their effectiveness.
The problem is that the added parallel section increases the necessary length of the choke itself.
One of the problems with control of the pattern comes from the rotation of the shot column as it passed down the bore of the shotgun barrel.
The rotation may cause an undesirable dispersion of the shot.
One of the problems reali

Embodiment Construction

[0029]This invention relates to shotguns and more particularly, to a shotgun choke which may he integrally shaped in the barrel of a shotgun or threaded on the end of the shotgun barrel and is designed to facilitate reduced recoil and more uniform patterns. The present invention facilitates reduced recoil and the combination of reduced recoil and superior patterning of the shot facilitate greater accuracy in firing the shotgun.

[0030]The choke with one or more of these features as described herein and in proper combinations will produce a uniform and effective pattern.

[0031]The invention provides a device to obtain the benefits of parallel features in a more compact design.

[0032]The benefits of arresting the rotation of the high velocity shot column as it passes thru the choke are also realized in the teachings of the invention.

[0033]The invention described hereinafter is explained with reference to its application on shotguns as a device for controlling not only the pattern of shot ...

Abstract

A choke to be used with a muzzle of a gun may include a housing which may include an inner surface and an outer surface, and the housing may include a substantially central bore. The inner surface may inwardly taper at the distal end of the choke, and the inner surface may include a first depression having a first dimension. The inner surface may include a second depression having a second dimension, and the inner surface may include a third depression having a third dimension. The inner surface may include a fourth depression having a fourth dimension, and the first dimension may be substantially equal to the third dimension. The second dimension may be substantially equal to the fourth dimension.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to firearms and more particularly to a shotgun choke.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is desirable in a variety of firearm applications and other uses wherein a plurality of projectiles traverse a tubular body at high velocity to produce a projectile distribution pattern of uniform distribution upon a remote target. Shotgun chokes have been used historically to increase the density of the pattern and thereby increase the range of the firearm by concentrating the projectiles more closely to a single axis in their flight. While this has the intended effects, the approach has limitations from gaps or holes that arise as the projectiles disperse from the axis in their flight.[0003]It is also desirable in a variety of firearm applications and other uses wherein a plurality of projectiles traverse a tubular body at high velocity to produce a projectile distribution pattern of predetermined configuration upon a remote target. For...
