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 device configured to couple to a firearm, the device comprising:
- a housing defining a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, and a socket, wherein the housing is configured to separate into two or more pieces;
- a laser module at least partially disposed within the socket, the laser module being oriented to emit light towards the second opening;
- a resilient coupling forming an interference fit between the laser module and the socket at a first position along a length of the laser module;
- a switch operably connected to the laser module and comprising a protrusion extending through at least one of the first opening or the second opening;
- a first alignment element operably engaged with the laser module at a second position along the length of the laser module, the first alignment element configured to move the laser module in a first direction;
- a second alignment element operably engaged with the laser module at the second position along the length of the laser module, the second alignment element configured to move the laser module in a second direction different from the first direction;
- and
- a biasing element operably engaged with the laser module, the biasing element situated within a pocket defined by the two or more pieces of the housing when assembled together, the biasing element configured to resist the first alignment element and the second alignment element, the biasing element directed in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a housing;
- a laser module residing at least partially within the housing;
- a resilient coupling forming an interference fit between the laser module and the housing at a first position along a length of the laser module;
- a switch operably connected to the laser module and comprising a protrusion extending through an opening defined in the housing;
- a first alignment element operably engaged with the laser module at a second position along the length of the laser module, the first alignment element being configured to move the laser module in a first direction;
- a second alignment element operably engaged with the laser module at the second position along the length of the laser module, the second alignment element being configured to move the laser module in a second direction different than the first direction;
- and
- a biasing element operably engaged with the laser module, the biasing element situated within a pocket defined by two or more separable components of the housing when assembled together and configured to resist the first alignment element and the second alignment element, the biasing element directed in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction.

A laser sight for a firearm, the laser sight comprising:
- a housing comprising a first housing component and a second housing component;
- a laser module disposed at least partially within the housing;
- a resilient coupling forming an interference fit between the laser module and the housing;
- a switch operably connected to the laser module and comprising a protrusion extending through an opening defined in the housing;
- a first alignment mechanism engaged with the laser module, the first alignment mechanism being configured to adjust an orientation of the laser module in a first direction;
- a second alignment mechanism engaging the laser module, the second alignment mechanism being configured to adjust the orientation of the laser module in a second direction different than the first direction;
- and
- a biasing element, the biasing element operably engaged with the laser module, the biasing element situated within a pocket defined by the first housing component and the second housing component when assembled together and configured to resist the first alignment mechanism and the second alignment mechanism, the biasing element directed in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction.
