Abstract
A weapon mountable illumination device configured to mount to existing firearm mounting rails to provide illumination of potential targets while mitigating problems associated with snagging, and shadow casting. It is an aspect of the present invention to provide a rapidly mountable device to provide increased lighting capability while obviating the need to remove back up iron sights.
Claims18
A weapon mountable illumination device comprising:
- a cuff form comprising a gap between a first end, and a second end;
- a first open side- and a second open side along a longitudinal axis, and a pathway along the longitudinal axis extending between the first open side and the second open side;
- four lighting elements configured to shine forward, wherein the lighting elements have an angular offset of 90-degrees from each other;
- wherein the four lighting elements are characterized as non-direction;
- and
- the cuff form comprising an internal perimeter, wherein the internal perimeter of the cuff form is configured to interconnect with a forward aspect of a firearm.

A weapon mountable illumination device comprising:
- a cuff form comprising a gap between a first end, and a second end;
- a first open side, and a second open side along a longitudinal axis, and a pathway along the longitudinal axis extending between the first open side and the second open side;
- four lighting elements configured to shine forward, the lighting elements equidistantly radially offset from a central axis of the pathway, and the lighting elements having an angular offset of 90-degrees from each other;
- an internal perimeter of the cuff form comprising three channels having undercut sidewalls;
- at intervals of

- a laser configured to emit forward, and parallel with the central axis of the pathway;
- a power source;
- a control unit;
- a first lighting element switch, and a second lighting element switch, which operate the lighting elements;
- and
- a first laser switch, and a second laser switch, which operate the laser;
- a modality switch comprising a rotatory switch with a plurality of positions;
- the power source, the switches, the lighting elements, and the laser each having electrical connection to the control unit;
- a first battery compartment and a second battery compartment, the battery compartments are aligned with the first end and the second end of the cuff form and extend rearward;
- a first gusset interconnected between the first battery compartment and the cuff form;
- and
- a second gusset interconnected between the second battery compartment and the cuff form;
- wherein the first lighting element switch and the first laser switch are on an external surface of the first gusset, and
- wherein the second lighting element switch and the second laser switch are on an external surface of the second gusset.
