Pin for a firearm
View Patent ↗A firearm pin that includes a head that extends from a shoulder to a crown, a face formed between the shoulder and the crown, wherein the face is formed at an angle of between approximately 1° and 89° relative to a longitudinal axis of the pivot pin, and a shank, wherein the shank includes an elongate, cylindrical shank portion that extends from a terminal surface to the shoulder.
1. A firearm pin, comprising:
a head, wherein said head extends from a shoulder to a crown; and consists of one face and one flat
said face extending from said shoulder to said crown, wherein said face is formed at an angle of between approximately 1° and 89° relative to a longitudinal axis of said pin;
said flat is formed substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said pin, and wherein said flat extends from said shoulder of said head to said crown of said head;
a shank, wherein said shank includes an elongate, cylindrical shank portion that extends from a terminal surface to said shoulder; and
an intermediate portion, having a reduced diameter when compared to a diameter of said shank portion, formed between said shank portion and said shoulder.
2. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said face is formed at an angle of 1°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, or 89° relative to a longitudinal axis of said pin.
3. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said face has a continuous surface.
4. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said face has a substantially smooth surface.
5. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said face includes a textured surface.
6. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said face includes a plurality of dimples formed in a surface of said face.
7. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said face includes a groove said groove is formed of two side walls and wherein said side walls of said groove converge with each other.
8. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said shoulder extends perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said pin.
9. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein a chamfer is provided as a transitional surface between said terminal surface and an outer surface of said shank portion.
10. The firearm pin of claim 1 , further comprising an indention formed in said terminating surface.
11. The firearm pin of claim 1 , wherein said crown provides a button shape to a terminating end portion of said head.
12. The firearm pin of claim 1 , further comprising an elongate slot formed in said pin, which extends along a longitudinal axis of said pin from a portion of said shank portion into a portion of said head and wherein said elongate slot includes a detent formed proximate each end of said elongate slot.
13. The firearm pin of claim 1 , further comprising an elongate slot formed in said pin, which extends along a longitudinal axis of said pin within a portion of said shank portion and wherein said elongate slot includes a detent formed proximate each end of said elongate slot.
14. A firearm in combination with a pin, the pin, comprising:
a head, wherein said head extends from a shoulder to a crown; and consists of one face and one flat
said face extending from said shoulder to said crown, wherein said face is formed at an angle of between approximately 1° and 89° relative to a longitudinal axis of said pin;
said flat is formed substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said pin, and wherein said flat extends from said shoulder of said head to said crown of said head;
a shank, wherein said shank includes an elongate, cylindrical shank portion that extends from a terminal surface to said shoulder; and
an intermediate portion, having a reduced diameter when compared to a diameter of said shank portion, formed between said shank portion and said shoulder.
15. The combination of claim 14 , wherein said face includes a groove, said groove is formed of two side walls and wherein said side walls of said groove converge with each other.
