AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a gas block that allows users to adjust the amount of gas that passes through it, which in turn affects the cycling settings of a firearm. The amount of gas allowed can be set by a regulator and users can quickly adjust it by push of a finger. This allows for quick adjustment of the firearm's performance settings.

Problems solved by technology

However, adjustment of the current gas systems requires a special tool and offers no way for the user to modify the system quickly and / or select predetermined gas flow settings.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]A design and method for using a gas block is provided. The gas block can include a regulator disposed through a regulator slot. The gas block can also include a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can include a pin and a spring, and the pin can be configured to lock the regulator into a select position.

[0019]When an operator fires a firearm, a controlled explosion occurs and a projectile from a bullet is directed out of the firing chamber and down the barrel of the firearm. Exhaust gas also travels down the barrel, and a portion of that exhaust gas is transferred into a gas bore disposed in the barrel. The exhaust gas can then be directed into the gas block 100. More particularly, a gas hole 113 can be disposed through an inner wall of the gas block 100 and configured to receive at least a portion of the exhaust gas travelling through the barrel of the firearm. The gas block 100 can include one or more regulators 111, one or more pin locking mechanism chamber 137, one or ...

Abstract

This invention relates to a gas block for high rate of fire tactical rifles and carbines such as the M16 / AR15 family of firearms. More particularly, an adjustable gas block is disclosed that enables the user to dynamically adjust exhaust gas discharges by manipulating a gas block regulator.

Description

BACKGROUNDField[0001]This invention relates to the general field of a gas block.Description of the Related Art[0002]Since the introduction of auto-loading firearms (ex: M4, AR-15, AR-10, etc.), the need to regulate the flow of gas from the barrel to the operating system of the firearm has existed. Gas is generated during the combustion of gun powder when a firearm is fired by a user. As the gas expands and travels down the barrel of the firearm with the projectile, a portion of the gas, often referred to as “discharge gas” or “exhaust gas”, is captured and recycled to drive a reloading mechanism, often referred to as the “bolt carrier group”, within the firearm. This is accomplished by a hole or gas port placed through the barrel where a portion of the exhaust gas travels through this hole and is directed back to the upper receiver of the firearm to drive the auto-loading mechanism. The amount of gas needed by the auto-loading mechanism often varies according to a number of factors....
