  • Patent number: 11698096
    Abstract: A T-Nut comprising a tubular body attached to a flanged head is provided. The tubular body includes a bottom portion of constant diameter and an upper neck portion with a neck diameter that gradually increases as it approaches the flange head. Additionally, the bottom surface of flange head of the T-Nut may be recessed inwardly towards the top surface of the flange head to create circumferential concave cavity underneath the flange head, which will allow the flange head to envelope any portions of a washer or casing that may be above the surface of the material being joined.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10306973
    Abstract: An expandable, variable compression pouch with an exoskeleton construction, which is a hybrid construction that combines a soft, flexible shell with semi-flexible molded outer components on the back, sides, bottom and front of the flexible shell. These molded components form an exoskeleton that provides structural reinforcement where needed without limiting the essential qualities of expansion or contraction or form fit that is essential to achieve the unique features and superior function of the pouch of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20180313625
    Abstract: The present invention describes a stronger and more durable welded joint for attaching individual baffle members and spacer members within a firearm suppressor or silencer. In the preferred embodiment, the diameter of the individual spacers is slightly larger than the diameter of the adjacent baffle members at the joint. Additionally, the thickness of the spacer member casing increases as it approaches the joint. When the spacer members are attached to the ends of the baffle members, this configuration produces a joint such that the entire well seam is inside the diameter of the adjacent spacers, i.e. no material extends beyond the diameter of the spacer. The extra material on the spacer at the baffle/spacer joint is then melted along with the baffle material to form a stronger welded joint that does not extend beyond the diameter of the spacer.

  • Publication number: 20180313627
    Abstract: The present invention describes a baffle for use in a firearm suppressor or silencer. The baffle is a hollow tubular body of cylindrical cross section casing narrowing to a cone shape having sides that define an inlet and outlet. The baffle walls of the subject invention are thicker towards the bore of the suppressor making it more resistant to the heated pressurized gases and other elements traveling through the suppressor or silencer.

  • Publication number: 20180135932
    Abstract: A device for use in a firearm suppressor or silencer wherein the device directs the high-pressure gas away from the center of the suppressor or silencer. A preferred embodiment of the device is a baffle with a hollow tubular body of cylindrical cross section casing narrowing to a cone shape having sides that define an inlet and outlet end with an interior and exterior surface. The casing has a plurality of apertures and an exterior flow passage or channel extending around the apertures on the exterior surface of the casing. The apertures and flow passages or channels are configured to turn the gas passing through the baffle from a first direction in which the gas exits towards the center of the baffle to a second direction in which the gas exits the baffle away from the center of the baffle.
