Abstract

A manufacturing procedure for a “bull barrel” model with silencer and “model bull barrel” with obtained silencer. It comprises the following stages: a first stage in which a tube ( 2 ), which defines two ends, a first ( 21 ) and a second ( 22 ), with an interior diameter that exceeds the outer diameter of the barrel ( 1 ), fixed to a wedge ( 19 ) by its first end ( 21 ), a second stage in which a muzzle ( 5 ) that ends in a hood ( 10 ) is fixed to the second end ( 22 ) of tube ( 2 ), with said muzzle ( 5 ) comprising at least one lateral aperture ( 6 ) and at least one first hoop ( 8 ) that fits inside the tube ( 2 ) sealing the second end ( 22 ), similarly with stops ( 7 ) that define channels ( 11 ) in the hood ( 10 ) that connect the exterior with the inside of the muzzle ( 5 ), with the mentioned stops ( 7 ) forming the end of travel for the referred tube ( 2 ), a third stage in which the barrel ( 1 ) is fixed to the muzzle ( 5 ) and to the wedge ( 19 ), thus defining a space or cavity ( 3 ) between the tube ( 2 ) and barrel ( 1 ) and a fourth stage in which the third stage configuration is inserted into a molding machine for over-molding, except for the barrel entrance end ( 14 ), giving it the desired shape, with said end penetrating said over-molding ( 20 ) towards the inside of the tube ( 2 ) by the channels ( 11 ) up to the referred first hoop ( 8 ).

Claims (28)

1. A manufacturing procedure for a “bull barrel” model with silencer of the type comprising a barrel ( 1 ) with one entrance end ( 14 ) and one exit end ( 15 ), characterised in that it comprises the following stages:

A first stage in which a tube ( 2 ), which defines two ends: a first ( 21 ) and a second ( 22 ), with an inner diameter that exceeds the outer diameter of the barrel ( 1 ), fixed to a wedge ( 19 ) by its first end ( 21 ),

A second stage in which a muzzle ( 5 ) that ends in a hood ( 10 ) is fixed to the second end ( 22 ) of tube ( 2 ), with said muzzle ( 5 ) comprising at least one lateral aperture ( 6 ) and at least one first hoop ( 8 ) that fits inside the tube ( 2 ) sealing the second end ( 22 ), similarly with stops ( 7 ) that define channels ( 11 ) in the hood ( 10 ) that connect the exterior with the inside of the muzzle ( 5 ), with the mentioned stops ( 7 ) forming the end of travel for the referred tube ( 2 ),

A third stage in which the barrel ( 1 ) is fixed to the muzzle ( 5 ) and to the wedge ( 19 ), thus defining a space or cavity ( 3 ) between the tube ( 2 ) and barrel ( 1 ) and

A fourth stage in which the third stage configuration is inserted into a moulding machine for over-moulding, except for the barrel entrance end ( 14 ), giving it the desired shape, with said end penetrating said over-moulding ( 20 ) towards the inside of the tube ( 2 ) by the channels ( 11 ) up to the referred first hoop ( 8 ).

2. A procedure in accordance with claim 1 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises a second hoop ( 9 ), underneath first hoop ( 8 ).

3. A procedure in accordance with claim 1 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises cylindrical body ( 24 ) fixed to outside of barrel ( 1 ), the inside of which comprises stops ( 25 ) which support barrel ( 1 ).

4. A procedure in accordance with claim 3 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises exterior radial side fins ( 13 ) located on the cylindrical body ( 24 ) for centring barrel ( 1 ).

5. A procedure in accordance with claim 4 , characterised in that said side fins ( 13 ) have a width equivalent to the distance between tube ( 2 ) and muzzle ( 5 ).

6. A procedure in accordance with claim 1 , characterised in that there is at least an O-ring ( 17 ) between wedge ( 18 ) and tube ( 2 ).

7. A procedure in accordance with claim 2 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises at least two pairs of lateral apertures ( 6 , 16 ) facing each other.

8. A procedure in accordance with claim 7 , characterised in that said two pairs of lateral apertures ( 6 , 16 ) two faced two are not equal two faced two, with a partition wall ( 18 ) between them in the form of a step to create turbulence.

9. A procedure in accordance with claim 8 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises a single piece.

10. A procedure in accordance with claim 1 , characterised in that the fourth stage over-moulding, at least in the tube ( 2 ), barrel ( 1 ) and wedge ( 19 ) includes securing slots ( 23 , 26 , 27 ) that stabilize the over-moulding ( 20 ) on the tube ( 2 ), barrel ( 1 ) and wedge ( 19 ).

11. A “bull barrel” model with silencer of the type comprising a barrel ( 1 ) with one entrance end ( 14 ) and one exit end ( 15 ), characterised in that it comprises:

a tube ( 2 ), which defines two ends: a first ( 21 ) and a second ( 22 ), with an interior diameter that exceeds the outer diameter of the barrel ( 1 ), fixed to a wedge ( 19 ) by its first end ( 21 ) and, in turn, to the barrel ( 1 ), which housed inside tube ( 2 ),

a muzzle ( 5 ) that ends in a hood ( 10 ) is fixed to the second end ( 22 ) of tube ( 2 ), with said muzzle ( 5 ) comprising at least one lateral aperture ( 6 ) and at least one first hoop ( 8 ) that fits inside the tube ( 2 ) sealing the second end ( 22 ), similarly with stops ( 7 ) that define channels ( 11 ) in the hood ( 10 ) that connect the exterior with the inside of the muzzle ( 5 ), with the mentioned stops ( 7 ) forming the end of travel for the referred tube ( 2 ),

a space or cavity ( 3 ) between the tube ( 2 ) and barrel ( 1 ) which is defined when the barrel ( 1 ) is fixed to the muzzle ( 5 ) and wedge ( 19 ) and

an over-moulding ( 20 ) that covers the entire tube ( 2 ) except for the barrel entrance end ( 14 ), giving it the desired shape, with said end penetrating said over-moulding ( 20 ) towards the inside of the tube ( 2 ) by the channels ( 11 ) up to the referred first hoop ( 8 ).

12. “Bull barrel” model with silencer, in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises a second hoop underneath ( 9 ), underneath the first hoop ( 8 ).

13. “Bull barrel” model with silencer, in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises cylindrical body ( 24 ) fixed to outside of barrel ( 1 ), the inside of which comprises stops ( 25 ) which support barrel ( 1 ).

14. “Bull barrel” model with silencer in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises exterior radial side fins ( 13 ) located on the cylindrical body ( 24 ) for centring barrel ( 1 ).

15. “Bull barrel” model with silencer in accordance with claim 14 , characterised in that said side fins ( 13 ) have a width equivalent to the distance between tube ( 2 ) and muzzle ( 5 ).

16. “Bull barrel” model with silencer in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that there is an O-ring ( 17 ) between wedge ( 18 ) and tube ( 2 ).

17. “Bull barrel” model with silencer in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that muzzle ( 5 ) comprises at least two pairs of lateral apertures ( 6 , 16 ) facing each other.

18. “Bull barrel” model with silencer in accordance with claim 17 , characterised in that said two pairs of lateral apertures ( 6 , 16 ) are not equal, with a partition wall ( 18 ) between them in the form of a step to create turbulence.
