Abstract:
1. A firearm heatshield assembly comprising: a heatshield body having a pair of opposed ends provided on an arcuate shell having an inner surface, an outer surface and a pair of bottom edges, the heatshield body being adapted to overlie a barrel of a firearm subject to generating heat during firing thereof; and an insulating mounting arrangement frictionally attached to and positioned at different locations within the heatshield body, the insulating mounting arrangement including a clipping structure which is snap fit within the heatshield body at one location, and a clamping structure which is snap fit within the heatshield body at another location, wherein the clipping structure is engaged with the inner surface and the bottom edges of the heatshield body, and the clamping structure is engaged with the inner surface and the outer surface of the heatshield body, the insulating mounting arrangement being adapted to mount the heatshield body to the barrel of the firearm in a continuous spaced relationship therefrom, wherein the insulating mounting arrangement includes thermal insulating elements at different locations configured to prevent heat transfer through the thermal insulating elements to the heatshield body.
