摘要 | A receiver link separator is configured to separate an upper receiver from a lower receiver in a rifle. The receiver link separator has a first separation bracket upper post joined to a separation bracket lower post. A second separation bracket upper post can be joined to the separation bracket lower post. A locking pin can be inserted through the lower receiver and the separation bracket lower post. A clevis pin can be inserted through the upper receiver, the first separation bracket upper post and the second separation bracket upper post. The first separation bracket upper post and the second separation bracket upper post prevent the upper receiver from twisting away from the lower receiver. | ||||||

说明书全文 | This application claims priority to provisional patent application U.S. Ser. No. 61/898,333 filed on Oct. 31, 2013, the entire contents of which is herein incorporated by reference. The embodiments herein relate generally to firearms and firearm accessories. A receiver link separator is configured to separate an upper receiver from a lower receiver in a rifle. The receiver link separator has a first separation bracket upper post joined to a separation bracket lower post. A second separation bracket upper post can be joined to the separation bracket lower post. A locking pin can be inserted through the lower receiver and the separation bracket lower post. A clevis pin can be inserted through the upper receiver, the first separation bracket upper post and the second separation bracket upper post. The first separation bracket upper post and the second separation bracket upper post prevent the upper receiver from twisting away from the lower receiver. In some embodiments, the first separation bracket upper post can further comprise a first separation bracket upper post hole configured to receive the clevis pin. The second separation bracket upper post can further comprise a second separation bracket upper post hole configured to receive the clevis pin. The separation bracket lower post can further comprise a separation bracket lower post configured to receive the locking pin. A hair spring clip can be inserted through the clevis pin so that the clevis pin cannot be pulled from the second separation bracket upper post hole. The detailed description of some embodiments of the invention is made below with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein like numerals represent corresponding parts of the figures. By way of example, and referring to Turning first to As shown in First separation bracket upper post 12A and second separation bracket upper post 12B work together securely capture protrusion T and do not allow sideways movement that would otherwise unseat a single sided link. Clevis pin 36 is pushed through first separation bracket upper post hole 16A, protrusion hole H and second separation bracket upper post hole 16B such at one end of clevis pin 36 is larger than first separation bracket upper post hole 16A while a exposed end of clevis pin 36 protruding beyond second separation bracket upper post hole 16B has clevis pin hole 44 in it to accept hair spring clip 38. Hair spring clip 38 is then inserted through clevis pin hole 44 so clevis pin 36 cannot be pulled from second separation bracket upper post hole 16B. separation bracket lower post 14 is placed into a take-down recess of lower receiver L, then locking pin 30 is inserted through first locking pin hole O1, separation bracket lower post hole 18 and second locking pin hole O1 to secure link separator 10 to lower receiver L. Receiver link separator 10 acts as a solid strut that secures upper receiver U to lower receiver L thereby not allowing any pivot motion to occur and securing a human user's hands from pinching. Embodiments of receiver link separator 10 can be made in known ways with known materials. However, a 2 or 3 axis milling machine, computer numerical controlled (CNC) mill, CNC router or CNC laser cutter were found to be effective. While any thickness may be effective, one half inch was found to be sufficiently strong while adequately easy to obtain an manufacture. Persons of ordinary skill in the art may appreciate that numerous design configurations may be possible to enjoy the functional benefits of the inventive systems. Thus, given the wide variety of configurations and arrangements of embodiments of the present invention the scope of the invention is reflected by the breadth of the claims below rather than narrowed by the embodiments described above. |
