Patent number: 11933574Abstract: A semiautomatic shotgun comprising a receiver, a barrel, a forward gas block assembly attached to the barrel, a slider assembly rearward of the gas block assembly extending into the receiver. Upon firing a shotshell the explosive gases in the barrel are diverted through two ports into the gas block assembly, specifically into a pair of lateral pressure relief valves positioned on both sides of the barrel. The pressure relief valves further having a gas pathway to a piston chamber. A piston is forced rearwardly and engages a slider of the slider assembly that is linked to a breech block in the receiver. The breech block loads unfired shells and ejects the fired shells accomplishing the semiautomatic recycling. The dual pressure relief valves actuate to moderate and limit the gas pressure that enters the piston chamber when using shotshells of different power levels thereby providing consistency in the recycling operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Savage Arms, Inc.Inventors: Aaron K.

Patent number: 5791328Abstract: A valve, especially for use in a paintball gun which includes a pressure chamber bore for receiving gas from a source, an exhaust bore which leads to a barrel, and a valve chamber bore between the pressure chamber bore and exhaust bore. The valve includes a body mounted in the valve chamber bore with a flow path between the pressure chamber and exhaust bores, and a cupseal seat on the upstream side of the flow path. A valve stem passes through a portion of the flow path and is slidably supported by a support nose, and presents an actuation surface at one end, and supports a cupseal to mate with the seat at the other end. The cupseal has radial guide legs to closely and slidably contact the pressure chamber bore to aid alignment. The cupseal will normally be held against the seat by gas pressure and/or a spring; to open the valve, the gun may be provided with a hammer which is released to strike the actuation surface of the valve stem, to unseat the cupseal and allow gas to flow into the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1997Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Inventor: Aaron K.
