Silencer system for a firearm

Abstract

A silencer system for a firearm comprises a jacket tube which is mountable on the barrel of the firearm and in which a first silencer having an axial firing opening is coaxially arranged. The first silencer is arranged in the jacket tube to form an intermediate first annular space and has, at its barrel-side end, an oncoming flow cone which is penetrated by the firing opening and is located at an axial distance from the barrel, in order to deflect gases emerging divergently from the barrel into the annular space, which is provided with baffles and a gas outlet downstream the baffles.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A silencer system for a firearm, comprising a jacket tube which is mountable on the barrel of the firearm and in which a first silencer having an axial firing opening is coaxially arranged, wherein the first silencer is arranged in the jacket tube to form an intermediate first annular space and has, at a barrel-side end of the first silencer, an oncoming flow cone which is penetrated by the firing opening and is located at an axial distance from the barrel, in order to deflect gases emerging divergently from the barrel into the annular space, which is provided with baffles and a gas outlet downstream the baffles, wherein the first silencer further comprises a stack of deflector pots, each of which has a conical oncoming flow base facing the barrel, which oncoming flow base is axially penetrated by the firing opening, wherein the oncoming flow bases are provided with gas passages towards the respective next deflector pot. 
     
     
         2 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein the baffles are formed by deflector plates, which are arranged one behind the other in axial direction and offset relative to one another in circumferential direction. 
     
     
         3 . The silencer system according to  claim 1  wherein the gas passages in each case are formed as a ring of axially parallel passage openings. 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first deflector pot of the stack facing the barrel is provided with radial gas passages towards the first annular space. 
     
     
         6 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein the oncoming flow base of the first deflector pot facing the barrel forms the oncoming flow cone. 
     
     
         7 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein the oncoming flow cone is placed on the first deflector pot facing the barrel. 
     
     
         8 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein each deflector pot carries one or more of the deflector plates on an outer circumference of the deflector pot. 
     
     
         9 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein the gas outlet of the first annular space comprises axially parallel outlet openings in an end ring which closes the annular space at an end facing away from the barrel. 
     
     
         10 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein the gas outlet of the first annular space comprises axially normal outlet openings in the jacket tube. 
     
     
         11 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein the jacket tube is equipped with a thread for mounting on the barrel of the firearm. 
     
     
         12 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein a sleeve is accommodated coaxially in the jacket tube to form a second annular space, which sleeve is located at an axial distance from the first silencer, the second annular space likewise being provided with baffles. 
     
     
         13 . The silencer system according to  claim 12 , wherein the sleeve may be slid onto the barrel and has a thread at an end facing the first silencer for anchoring to the barrel. 
     
     
         14 . The silencer system according to  claim 1 , wherein a second silencer is accommodated coaxially in the jacket tube to form a second annular space, which second silencer is located on the barrel side end of the first silencer at an axial distance therefrom, the second annular space likewise being provided with baffles. 
     
     
         15 . The silencer system according to  claim 14 , wherein the second silencer comprises at least one deflector pot. 
     
     
         16 . The silencer system according to  claim 12 , wherein the jacket tube between the first silencer and the sleeve contains a partition wall having a central opening. 
     
     
         17 . The silencer system according to  claim 16 , wherein the sleeve is supported on the partition wall via a radially perforated pipe section. 
     
     
         18 . The silencer system according to  claim 14 , wherein the second silencer is supported on the oncoming flow cone of the first silencer via a radially perforated pipe section. 
     
     
         19 . The silencer system according to  claim 12 , wherein the second annular space is provided with a gas outlet arranged downstream the baffles, wherein the gas outlet of the second annular space comprises axially normal outlet openings in the jacket tube. 
     
     
         20 . The silencer system according to  claim 10 , wherein the axially normal outlet openings of the jacket tube are offset relative to the radial in the same circumferential direction in each case. 
     
     
         21 . The silencer system according to  claim 2 , wherein the deflector plates are ring sector-shaped.
