Suppressor For A Firearm

Abstract

The present invention is a firearm suppressor that includes a baffle stack having a plurality of baffles received in an outer tube wherein a first baffle is received into an adjacent baffle; a piston assembly and an endcap removably attached to the outer tube; a piston housing, piston cap and piston spring included in the piston assembly; a first concave section defined in an aperture including at least one baffle; a second concave section defined in an aperture including at least one baffle wherein the first concave section and the second concave section are offset relative to a diameter bisecting the baffle; a plurality of ports defined in the outer tube disposed forward of a midpoint in the outer tube configured to shift the center of mass to the rear of the outer tube; and, an end cap removably attached to the outer tube.

 whereas the engagement ring is configured to allow adjacent baffles to rotates relative to each other. 
 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  including a sloped upper side extending from the engagement ring and terminating at the aperture of at least one baffle. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  including a short lip and a long lip included in the aperture. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the first concave section and the second concave section are disposed between the short lip and the long lip. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  including a first set of ports defined in the outer tube that are offset relative to a second set of ports defined in the outer tube. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the ports are disposed forward of a midpoint in the outer tube configured to shift the center of mass to the rear of the outer tube. 
     
     
         10 . A firearm suppressor for reducing the amount of noise generated from a firearm comprising:
 a baffle stack having a plurality of baffles received in an outer tube wherein each baffle is received into an adjacent baffle at a unique rotational degree relative to any set of adjacent baffles in the baffle stack;   a first concave section defined in an aperture including at least one baffle;   a second concave section defined in an aperture including at least one baffle wherein the first concave section and the second concave section are offset relative to a diameter bisecting the baffle; and,   a plurality of ports defined in the outer tube exposing at least, a portion of the baffle stack to the ambient environment.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  including a first concave section and the second concave section disposed on the same side of the diameter bisecting the baffle. 
     
     
         12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . A firearm suppressor for reducing the amount of noise generated from a firearm comprising:
 a baffle stack having a plurality of baffles received in an outer tube wherein a first baffle is received into an adjacent baffle and rotates relative to the adjacent baffle;   a first concave section defined in an aperture defined in at least one baffle; and,   a second concave section defined in an aperture including at least one baffle wherein the first concave section and the second concave section are offset relative to a diameter bisecting the baffle.   
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein the first concave section and the second concave section are disposed between a short lip defined in the baffle aperture and a long lip defined in the baffle aperture. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein the first concave section and the second concave section disposed on the same side of a diameter bisecting the baffle. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 16  wherein the concave section of the baffle stacks are rotationally offset relative to the adjacent baffle at a unique rotational degree relative to any set of adjacent baffles in the baffle stack. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 16  wherein the concave sections of the baffles in the baffle stack are rotationally offset in the range of 0° to 80° relative to the adjacent baffle.
