Abstract
This invention herein described is a firearm mountable, illumination and projection system for projecting, detecting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation (waves) from across the electromagnetic spectrum by utilizing a variety of technologies such as LED's, Infrared Illuminators, Laser Emitters, and FLIR sensors (examples not limitations). This invention, herein described, is unique in that the embodiment(s) for Illumination and Projection are separate, unique, and isolated (distally) from the embodiment providing the necessary power (Current, Voltage, Electromotive Force) for the illumination and/or projection of electromagnetic radiation.
Claims10
A lighting and illumination system for projecting focused electromagnetic radiation of visible wavelengths or invisible wavelengths, removably mountable to a firearm comprising a first housing of some shape, with a bracket or other attachment point, which allows said first housing to be removably mounted to the firearm, said first housing contains a source or sources of electromagnetic radiation and other components to focus, reflect and otherwise direct the electromagnetic radiation in a desired direction and intensity, a second housing of some shape distal to said first housing, with a bracket, or other attachment point, allowing said second housing to be removably mounted to the firearm, said second housing is a source of power, electromotive force, which is supplied to and energizes the source or sources of electromagnetic radiation in said first housing, this power, the electromotive force, is transferred to said first housing through a wiring harness at a proximal end of which is connected to said first housing, and a distal end of which is connected to said second housing, said wiring harness forms a conductive path between the source or sources of electromagnetic radiation in said first housing and the source of power, the electromotive force, in said second housing, said second housing is of some shape internally to hold one or more batteries, or other source of stored or instant power, the electromotive force, and other components necessary for a source to control the source of electromagnetic radiation in said first housing.
