Abstract

Embodiments described herein are directed towards a sleeve. The sleeve may be configured to cover a detachable magazine, such as a detachable magazine for an assault rifle. In embodiments, the sleeve may be comprised of waterproof and/or weatherproof materials.

Claims (14)

1. A firearm sleeve comprising:

an internal surface comprised of neoprene rubber laminated onto a polyester fabric forming a first layer configured to be positioned adjacent to a magazine;

an external surface comprised of a transparent material forming a second layer configured to be griped by a user, the internal surface having a coefficient of friction to couple the firearm sleeve and the magazine, wherein the firearm sleeve is comprised of a flexible material, wherein the internal surface is comprised of a different material having different coefficient of friction that the external surface, wherein both of the different materials are malleable being different types of rubber, the second layer initially being a semi-liquid material;

a first opening positioned at a first end of the firearm sleeve;

a second opening positioned at a second end of the firearm sleeve, wherein the first layer and the second layer comprised of different material extend from the first opening to the second opening, wherein the internal surface and the external surface extend from the first opening to the second opening, wherein sidewalls of the firearm sleeve form a continuous surface having a uniform thickness from the first opening to the second opening, the second opening having an oval shape;

a firearm magazine having a longer length than a length between the first opening and the second opening, wherein an entire bottom surface of the firearm magazine is exposed via the second opening, wherein a size and shape of the first opening and the second opening are substantially the same;

a third layer comprised of a polyester fabric including an image, the third layer being configured to be laminated and heat pressed onto the polyester fabric of the first layer before the second layer is positioned over the third layer, the third layer being positioned between the first layer and the second layer;

a first end and a second end having planar sidewalls forming the length between the first opening and the second opening

a linear seam extending from the first opening to the second opening configured to couple the first end and the second end by fusing together the first end and the second end, and sewing the first end and the second end together to reinforce the seam.

2. The firearm sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the magazine includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is configured to be housed within the firearm and the second portion is configured to extend away from the firearm.

3. The firearm sleeve of claim 2 , wherein the firearm sleeve is configured to cover the second portion of the magazine.

4. The firearm sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the magazine sleeve is comprised of a synthetic rubber having a thickness between one millimeter and two and half millimeters.

5. The firearm sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the firearm sleeve is comprised of a material that is more flexible and pliant than the magazine.

6. The firearm sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the user is configured to grip and hold the firearm sleeve to couple and decouple the magazine from the firearm.
