Benefits of technology
The present disclosure provides a system and method for a monocore baffle apparatus. The apparatus has a monocore frame with tabs that are connected to the frame and extend into the frame's interior section. The tabs are flexibly connected to the frame and can be positioned in two groups, with one group positioned opposite to the other. Each tab has a curvilinear shape. The apparatus can be used to muffle sound by forcing gas through the frame and flexing the tabs towards the frame's central axis. The technical effects of this invention include improved sound muffling and a more efficient and flexible design for baffle apparatus.
Problems solved by technology
Otherwise, this resistance causes the discharged gas to become turbulent and drop in pressure across the enclosed pathway, thereby decelerating the velocity of the discharged gas.
As the discharged gas decelerates, being trapped between the baffles within the enclosed pathway, it loses energy and eventually exits the enclosed pathway.
While conventional baffle devices have many successes, they are often expensive and time consuming to manufacture and assemble, either consisting of multiple small parts or of a single monocore that requires extensive machining.
Furthermore, the rigid nature of most baffle systems makes them difficult to remove and service once particulate debris and fouling from exhaust gases is deposited between the shell and the baffles of the device.
Thus, a heretofore unaddressed need exists in the industry to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.

Description
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]The present disclosure is generally related to baffle devices and more particularly is related to a flexible monocore baffle apparatus and related methods.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Baffle devices exist in various forms to decrease noise and gas flow from mechanical devices prior to the noise or gas being emitted into the atmosphere. Baffle devices are common in a variety of industries, including the firearms industry, the automotive industry, the energy industry, and many others. For example, baffle devices may be used with automobiles within automotive mufflers to decrease the noise produced by the automobile's engine. Baffle devices are also commonly used within sound suppressors on firearms to decrease the noise when the firearm is discharged. Sound suppression devices used with firearms are commonly referred to as silencers or suppressors.[0003]While the construction and design of a baffle device may vary, depending on its use, all baffle dev...
