Rifle Noise Suppressor

Abstract

My invention is a rifle noise suppressor comprised of a cylindrical chamber which contains a nested set of baffles concentrically and longitudinally arrayed through the chamber. One end of the chamber is threaded and threads are cut into the barrel of a rifle to permit the noise suppressor to be screwed into place. The chief advantage of the concentrically arrayed baffles is a shorter chamber, approximately one-half the length of a typical noise and smoke suppression device, yet able to achieve equal noise and smoke suppression by causing the escaping gases following the explosion of the bullet being fired to travel farther within the suppressor chamber.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A rifle noise suppressor comprising:
 a cylindrical chamber with two opposing ends, which chamber contains a nested set of baffles, where the baffles are concentrically and longitudinally arrayed through the chamber,   there are at least two baffles held in place by a plug which is connected to an end of the cylindrical chamber located farthest from the muzzle and at least three baffles held in place by a plug which is connected to the end of the cylindrical chamber located nearest to the muzzle,   where the chamber has a threaded end that can be affixed to a muzzle end of a rifle barrel, and where the rifle barrel has reverse threads to accommodate the affixation.   
     
     
         2 . The device of claim one, where the rifle noise suppressor has two threaded ends, one of which is threaded onto a muzzle end of a rifle barrel, and an end of the cylindrical chamber farthest from the muzzle end can be screwed into a rifle barrel extension.
