Operating system utilizing an articulated bolt train to manage recoil force
Abstract
An Operational System for Firearms founded on the use of the synchronic controlled motion and cooperative interaction of elements of a Pivotally Articulated Bolt Train displacing reciprocatingly within a compliant receiver, along guiding means, disposed according to a purposely engineered Path, capable of generating anticipated adjustable dynamic reactions, and to execute mechanical actions, due to pre-calculated movements of interconnecting mechanisms within said Train members, when they pivot one relative to the other. The alternate divergent and converging motion of the Train Bolt and A Firing Mechanism Carriage subassembly, along a horizontal path, and a transverse path, modifies and splits the linear bearing of the recoil force, and generates a Gyroscopic Effect or Angular Moment, decreasing the Barrel Torque magnitude, conveying a unique tailored dynamic behavior, while performing different functions and achieving the eleven different purposes of this invention. Numerous motion parameters are adjustable to attain the distinctive recoil Dynamic reaction.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat I claim is:
1 . An Operating System for a firearm to manage a recoil force effect utilizing a Pivotally Articulated Bolt Train of planar motion displacing along a cooperative receiver.
2 . The Operating System of claim 1 having:
A Pivotally Articulated Bolt Train Mechanism functioning within a cooperative receiver, displacing, track mounted, along a pre-determined Path to partially redirect the initial bore axial recoil force into a transversally directed recoil force and to perform several functions;
A Firing Mechanism Subassembly incorporated to the Bolt Train that displaces altogether as part of the recoiling train;
A Firing Mechanism Subassembly incorporated to the Bolt Train that cocks in response to the recoil displacement along a predetermined Path, and to the angular rotation motion of the components of said Train while displacing rearwards.
A Cam Delay Blowback mechanism to retard the opening of a barrel breech after firing;
An array, within the cooperative receiver, of mechanisms, paths, tracks subassemblies reducing the total weight, volume and lowers of the center of gravity of said firearm;
An independent, optional Recoil Damper Mechanism attachable to the Bolt Train sub assembly:
A quick Jaws opening and closing Array of the Upper and Lower receivers pivoting about a hinge joint, like jaws, to facilitate the access to internal components of the bolt train mechanisms for assemble and disassemble of the train components;
A pre-calculated planar angular motion of certain train members to generate a gyroscopic effect and an Angular Moment which reduces a Barrel Torque rotation effect of the firearm after firing;
A pre-calculated motion along a portion of said path and tracks, through a tunnel handle of the firearm;
A number of identified and engineerable parameters involved in the functioning of the Articulated Bolt Train Operational System, to set the desired values for the preferred objective Dynamic reactions; and
A number of interactive mechanisms to perform inter-dependent mechanical actions, occurring in mechanisms housed within separated train members, said actions being:
1) To cock a firing mechanisms,
2) To create a delay in a barrel breech opening, and
3) To actuate an optional recoil damper mechanism.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
