Ejector for firearm
View Patent ↗An ejector mechanism for a firearm includes an ejector disposed at a forward face of a bolt. The ejector includes a hole designed to provide clearance for the firing pin to pass at least partially through the ejector. The hole may include a counterbore on a rear side of the ejector.
1. An ejector mechanism for a firearm comprising:
an ejector disposed at a forward face of a bolt,
wherein the ejector comprises a hole designed to provide clearance for a firing pin to pass at least partially through the ejector.
2. The ejector mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the hole comprises a counterbore on a rear side of the ejector.
3. The ejector mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the ejector comprises a rear protrusion that extends into a corresponding hole in the bolt.
4. The ejector mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the corresponding hole in the bolt is disposed at a location on the forward face distal from the firing pin.
5. The ejector mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the corresponding hole in the bolt is disposed at bottom of the forward face.
6. The ejector mechanism of claim 3 , further comprising a spring disposed within the corresponding hole in the bolt.
7. The ejector mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the ejector comprises a flat surface such that the flat surface is defined by an offset from an extractor cavity of the bolt.
8. The ejector mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the ejector comprises a symmetric shape with at least two flat surfaces such that a first flat surface is compatible with an extractor on a right side of the bolt and a second flat surface is compatible with an extractor on a left side of the bolt.
9. The ejector mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the ejector comprises a forward interface comprising (i) a contact surface that protrudes forward and (ii) a secondary surface that is offset rearward from the contact surface.
10. The ejector mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the ejector comprises a retaining hole configured to interface with a retaining pin.
11. An ejector mechanism for a firearm comprising:
an ejector disposed at a forward face of a bolt,
wherein at least a portion of the ejector is disposed at a center of the forward face of the bolt.
12. The ejector mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the ejector comprises a hole designed to provide clearance for a firing pin to pass at least partially through the ejector.
13. The ejector mechanism of claim 12 , wherein the hole comprises a counterbore on a rear side of the ejector.
14. The ejector mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the ejector comprises a rear protrusion that extends into a corresponding hole in the bolt.
15. The ejector mechanism of claim 14 , wherein the corresponding hole in the bolt is disposed at a location on the forward face distal from the firing pin.
16. The ejector mechanism of claim 14 , wherein the corresponding hole in the bolt is disposed at bottom of the forward face.
17. The ejector mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the ejector comprises a flat surface such that the flat surface is defined by an offset from an extractor cavity of the bolt.
18. The ejector mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the ejector comprises a symmetric shape with at least two flat surfaces such that a first flat surface is compatible with an extractor on a right side of the bolt and a second flat surface is compatible with an extractor on a left side of the bolt.
19. The ejector mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the ejector comprises a forward interface comprising (i) a contact surface that protrudes forward and (ii) a secondary surface that is offset rearward from the contact surface.
20. The ejector mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the ejector comprises a retaining hole configured to interface with a retaining pin.
