Abstract

The suppressor uses an elastic outer housing or sleeve that temporarily expands and contracts under the pressure impulse of the propellant gases to help reduce the sound signature of the report. During discharge, the elastic housing or sleeve expands beyond its relaxed normal shape, but quickly contracts and returns to its original shape and dimension. The expansion of the elastic housings and sleeves temporarily increases the internal volume of the suppressor providing a mechanical control of the internal pressure reduction and sound attenuation without the need for increased suppressor dimensions.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 548,956 filed Aug. 22, 2017, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.[0002]This invention relates to firearm suppressors, and in particular, a suppressor having an expanding suppressor housing.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The discharge of a firearm creates extremely high noise levels. The report of a firearm can cause serious hearing damage to the user and surrounding persons. The sound created by the discharge of a firearm is the result in part of the escaping propellent gases. The “report” of the firearm is a result of the heated high-velocity gases impacting the outside atmosphere. In effect, resulting in a loud impact sound as the different pressures and temperatures of the gases work to equalize.[0004]Sound suppressors, often inaccurately referred to as “silencers” generally dampen and mask the sounds of the escaping propellent gases. Suppressors work to equalize...
