  • Patent number: 11786917
    Abstract: A device is provided for separating solid particles or liquid droplets from a fluid. The device comprises an entry tube having an inlet port for receiving a fluid flow and a vortex section, the diameter of which decreases in the flow direction. The vortex section comprises at least one internal wall forming at least one helical channel. The helical channel preferably surrounds a core body extending along a central axis of the entry tube. The varying diameter end sections of the core body preferably have a conical shape. The device further comprises an annular exit port section having at least one peripheral exit opening, and an outlet tube extending along the central axis. According to an embodiment, the device is provided with a pre-separation unit in the form of a cyclone.

  • Patent number: 11397065
    Abstract: A firearm silencer includes a substantially cylindrical outer sheath having a first end and a second end, a barrel hole in the first end of the outer sheath, a damping element inside said outer sheath and connection means for connecting the silencer to a firearm barrel. The connection means include at least one clamping surface adapted to be pressed against the outer surface of said barrel. Further said connection means comprise a locking frame, at least one mounting lever hingedly connected to the locking frame and a twisting device functionally connected to the mounting lever for turning the mounting lever. At least one clamping surface is integrated to the mounting lever. Functional connection with the twisting device is arranged in a way that the mounting lever can by turned by using the twisting device.
