AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system enables rapid and secure attachment / detachment of muzzle accessories while maintaining alignment with the firearm's barrel, reducing heat-related fatigue and increasing the system's lifespan by isolating the biasing mechanism from heat cycling.

Problems solved by technology

For example, large numbers of fine threads and locking pins typically provide a very reliable connection but require a relatively long amount of time to secure or remove and may require the use of special tools.
This is particularly undesirable in certain situations where quick attachment / detachment of an accessory is critical to operational or tactical effectiveness.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Referring to FIG. 1, a system 10 for attaching an accessory to the muzzle of a firearm is shown. The system 10 includes a muzzle device 12, such as a flash suppressor, muzzle brake or muzzle compensator that is secured to the barrel of a firearm (not shown), and an adapter apparatus 14 configured to facilitate the quick attachment and detachment of an accessory to the muzzle device 12. The muzzle device 12 may be secured to the firearm barrel such as by welding or other conventional securement means (for example, by means of mating threads externally about the barrel muzzle and internally of the muzzle device 12 together with a high temperature cement or a locking device for preventing rotation of the installed muzzle device 12 with respect to the firearm barrel). The firearm barrel, to which the muzzle device 12 is secured, is not shown for purposes of clarity of description.

[0023]The muzzle device 12 is formed as a generally cylindrical body 16 concentric to a firing axis 18...

Abstract

A system for attaching an accessory to a firearm includes a muzzle device configured for attachment to the muzzle end of the firearm, the muzzle device having a first coarse-threaded engagement means and one of an annular grooved surface and a grooved surface engagement mechanism, and an adapter device. The adapter device includes an adapter having a forward portion including an accessory engagement means for receiving the accessory and a rearward portion having a second coarse-threaded engagement means formed on an inner surface of the adapter, a biasing mechanism received on the rearward portion, and a retainer ring received on the rearward portion adjacent to the biasing mechanism, the retainer ring having the other of the annular grooved surface and the grooved surface engagement mechanism. The male coarse-threaded engagement means and the female coarse-threaded engagement means cooperate to releasably secure the adapter device to the muzzle device.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 120,189, filed on Feb. 24, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to firearms and, more particularly, to a system, method and apparatus for quickly attaching various accessories to the muzzle of a firearm.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Various systems and methods have been developed for use in the attachment of accessories to the muzzle of a firearm. These accessories may include silencers, flash suppressors, rocket and / or grenade launchers, line launchers, and the like. The reliability of the connection of the muzzle accessory and muzzle, and the ease or quickness with which the accessory is secured and removed, tend to provide competing objectives. For example, large numbers of fine threads and locking pins typically provide a very reliable connection but require a...
