Abstract: A firearm suppressor can comprise a central longitudinal chamber adapted to facilitate passage of a projectile fired from a firearm through the central longitudinal chamber. The firearm suppressor can also comprise an outer chamber disposed radially outward of the central longitudinal chamber, the outer chamber being in fluid communication with the central longitudinal chamber via an opening. The firearm suppressor can further comprise a baffle disposed in the outer chamber and defining a forward portion of the outer chamber and a rearward portion of the outer chamber. The forward portion of the outer chamber can contain the opening such that discharge gases associated with the projectile enter the forward portion of the chamber and are directed backward past the baffle to the rearward portion of the outer chamber where the discharge gases are at least temporarily trapped behind the projectile to reduce or prevent alteration of a trajectory or a speed of the projectile by the discharge gases.

Abstract: A wheel cover apparatus for augmenting a vehicle wheel to provide various aesthetic appearances while also allowing for relatively easy removal without sacrificing security. A releasable connector can be used to releasably secure the wheel cover to a mounting member. The mounting member can be attached to vehicle wheel lug bolts. In order to provide a releasable connection the connector assembly can include a receiving assembly and an engaging assembly such as a ball lock mechanism. Further, the present invention can include a bearing which allows the wheel cover to rotate independently of the mounting member. Such rotation can be free rotation or weighted such that the wheel cover remains in substantially the same orientation during travel as when at rest. In this way, designs or images on the wheel cover can be viewed during motion of the vehicle.
