Firearm charging handle

摘要

A charging handle for a firearm having an elongate member, a bolt engaging element at a forward end, a handle portion at a rearward end, the handle portion including a first projection from the elongate member and a second projection from the elongate member opposing the first projection, the first projection having a first surface defining an elongate opening at least partially therethrough extending substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the elongate member and configured to receive a first end of a lanyard, and the second projection having at least one surface defining a pivot point opening with a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongate member, and a latch having a surface defining a first opening therethrough, where the latch pivots around a pivot pin positioned through the pivot opening and the first opening through the latch.

主权项

1. A firearm charging handle latch, comprising:
a first portion, including:
a first major planar surface;a second major planar surface opposite the first major planar surface;a third surface extending between the first major planar surface and the second major planar surface to define a pivot pin hole; anda first peripheral surface extending between the first major planar surface and the second major planar surface forming a hook configured to engage a detent on a firearm receiver; and a second portion and a third portion, wherein the third portion includes a contact surface essentially parallel with the first peripheral surface, and the second portion includes a first helical surface extending between the first major planar surface and the contact surface of the firearm charging handle latch, the helical surface having a helical axis that extends parallel with the first major planar surface and the second major planar surface.
