Modular Firearm Block for Stationary Sight and Recoil Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The front sight on traditional 1911 handguns moves during firing, complicating aiming.
Innovation Solution
A modular firearm block with a pin and pin connector system that attaches to the frame, providing a stationary sight and acting as a muzzle brake to manage recoil and muzzle rise.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the front sight is mounted on the moving slide, then the sight moves during firing, but this makes aiming more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The front sight assembly is segmented from the moving slide and mounted on a separate stationary block that is fixed to the frame. This allows the sight to be decoupled from the moving components, ensuring it remains stationary during firing while maintaining the ability to independently position and adjust the sight assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The front sight is extracted from the moving slide structure and relocated to a dedicated stationary block mounted on the frame. This extraction removes the sight from the moving components, ensuring it remains fixed during operation while allowing independent mounting and adjustment of the sight assembly.
2Ease of operation
If a modular block system with pin and pin connector is used, then the sight block can be easily attached and detached, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism transitions from a permanent fixed connection to a dynamic removable connection using pins and pin connectors. This allows the block to be easily attached and detached while maintaining structural integrity during use, balancing ease of operation with controlled complexity through standardized fastening components.
