Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a firearm which may include a frame with a first outer wall, and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall. A laser module may be disposed between the first and second outer walls. An alignment pin may be in communication with the first outer wall and may be configured to move the laser module relative to the frame.
Claims20
A firearm, comprising:
- a frame having a first outer wall and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall, the first wall defining a first groove and the second wall defining a second groove such that the first groove and the second groove interface with each other to form a receiving socket;
- a laser module configured to emit a beam along a beam axis, the laser module having:
- a first end,
- a second end opposite the first end,
- an emitting surface, at the first end, having a first radial width, and
- an annular ridge, adjacent the second end, having a second radial width greater than the first radial width, the annular ridge comprising non-parallel contact faces;
- a resilient member at least partially surrounding the laser module at the annular ridge, the resilient member:
- contacting the first groove and the second groove,
- comprising an internal seat, the internal seat comprising facets receiving the non-parallel contact faces of the annular ridge, and
- being configured to enable angular movement of the laser module relative to the frame;
- a first alignment pin disposed adjacent the laser module along a first direction;
- a second alignment pin disposed adjacent the laser module along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- a biasing component disposed adjacent the laser module and configured to apply a force against the laser module along a third direction, the third direction different from the first direction and the second direction.

A device, comprising
- a housing defining a first socket part and a second socket part;
- a laser module configured to emit a beam along a beam axis and through a face, the laser module having a longitudinal length along the beam axis, the laser module having:
- a first end;
- a second end opposite the first end;
- an emitting surface, at the first end having a first radial width;
- and
- an annular ridge, adjacent the second end, having a second radial width greater than the first radial width, the annular ridge comprising non-parallel contact faces;
- a resilient member positioned about the annular ridge, the resilient member:
- contacting the first socket part and the second socket part
- comprising an internal seat, the internal seat comprising facets receiving the non-parallel contact faces of the annular ridge;
- and
- being configured to enable angular movement of the laser module relative to the housing;
- and
- an alignment device engaged with the laser module, wherein the alignment device engages with the laser module at a location that is closer to the face of the laser module than the annular ridge.

A device, comprising:
- a housing coupleable to a firearm frame, the housing including:
- a socket, and
- an opening;
- a laser module oriented to emit light through the opening, the laser module having:
- a first portion at a first end having an emission surface with a first radial width;
- and
- a second portion comprising an annular ridge defined in part by non-parallel contact faces, the annular ridge having a second radial width greater than the first radial width, the first portion closer to the opening of the housing than the second portion;
- a resilient member disposed within the socket, the resilient member including:
- an exterior portion engaging the socket, and
- an inner portion comprising internal facets receiving the non-parallel contact faces of the annular ridge and engaging at least the second portion of the laser module;
- and
- an alignment device engaged with the first portion of the laser module.
