Suppressor design
An improved design for a suppressor which suppresses sound from a gun report as well as reduces heat transference therefrom.
1. An insulated suppressor for a rifle comprising:
a blast baffle;
a monocore baffle stack; and
an insulating sleeve comprising;
a continuous cylindrical wall;
a distal end cap, comprising a first recess, wherein the first recess contains a distal end cap insulation disk;
a proximal end cap, comprising a second recess, wherein the second recess contains a proximal end cap insulation disc;
the insulating sleeve substantially covering the entirety of a suppressor a second continuous cylindrical wall of the suppressor.
2. The insulated suppressor of claim 1 , further comprising wherein the insulating sleeve is made integral with the suppressor.
3. The insulated suppressor of claim 1 , further comprising wherein the insulating sleeve defines only two orifices within an outer surface of the insulating sleeve.
4. The insulated suppressor of claim 3 , further comprising wherein one orifice is defined in the distal end cap and one orifice is defined in the proximal end cap.
5. The insulated suppressor of claim 1 , further comprising wherein the monocore baffle stack comprises a sinusoidal structure.
6. The insulated suppressor of claim 1 , further comprising a void defined between the continuous cylindrical wall and the second continuous cylindrical wall.
7. The insulated suppressor of claim 6 , wherein the void is filled with an insulating material.
8. The insulated suppressor of claim 7 , wherein the void filled with insulating material substantially covers the entirety of an outer circumference and length of the second continuous cylindrical wall.
9. The insulated suppressor of claim 7 , wherein the insulating material comprises a ceramic and silica mixture.
10. The insulated suppressor of claim 7 , wherein the insulating material underlies the distal end cap and proximal end cap.
11. The insulated suppressor of claim 6 , wherein the void comprises a vacuum.
12. A method for reducing noise and heat generated from a suppressor comprising;
integrally forming an insulating sleeve around a suppressor;
wherein the insulating sleeve comprises;
a continuous cylindrical wall;
a distal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a distal end cap insulation disk;
a proximal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a proximal end cap insulation disc;
forming the insulating sleeve to substantially cover an outer surface of the suppressor;
forming a void around at least a circumference of the suppressor; and
filling the void with an insulating material.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein only two orifices are formed in the insulating sleeve.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a first orifice is formed in the proximal end cap and a second orifice is formed in the distal end cap.
15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising forming a vacuum within the void.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the insulating material comprises a ceramic and silica mixture.
17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising forming the void to substantially circumferentially cover an outer circumference of a second continuous cylindrical wall of the suppressor.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising forming the void to extend at least a length of the second cylindrical wall.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein integrally forming the insulated sleeve comprises permanently affixing the continuous cylindrical wall to the distal end cap and proximal end cap.
20. An insulated suppressor for a rifle comprising:
an inner insulating wall forming a continuous cylinder;
an outer insulating wall forming a continuous cylinder;
wherein the outer and inner insulating walls define a sealed void between the inner and outer insulating wall;
a distal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a distal end cap insulation disk;
a proximal end cap, configured to form a recess, wherein the recess contains a proximal end cap insulation disc;
wherein the continuous cylinder of the inner insulating wall surrounds:
a blast baffle; and
a monocore baffle stack; and
wherein a carbon fiber wrap at least partially surrounds the outer insulating wall.
