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;
- a laser module coupled to the frame and configured to emit a beam along a beam axis, the laser module having:
- an emitting surface with a first radial width at a first end of the laser module, and
- an annular ridge adjacent a second end of the laser module with a second radial width greater than the first radial width and comprising non-parallel contact faces;
- a resilient member at least partially surrounding the laser module at the annular ridge, the resilient member comprising facets receiving the non-parallel contact faces of the annular ridge;
- 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.
6 more elements
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 an emitting surface disposed at a first end of the laser module, wherein the emitting surface has a first radial width and the laser module further comprises an annular ridge disposed adjacent a second end of the laser module having a second radial width greater than the first radial width, the annular ridge comprising non-parallel contact faces;
- a resilient member comprising an internal seat comprising facets receiving the non-parallel contact faces of the annular ridge, the resilient member 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 emitting surface of the laser module than the annular ridge.
2 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a housing coupleable to a firearm, the housing including:
- a socket, and
- an opening;
- a laser module oriented to emit light through the opening, the laser module having:
- an emission surface with a first radial width at a first end of the laser module;
- and
- an annular ridge disposed adjacent a second end of the laser module and defined in part by non-parallel contact faces and having a second radial width greater than the first radial width;
- a resilient member disposed within the socket and comprising a recess receiving the annular ridge, the recess comprising internal facets receiving the non-parallel contact faces of the annular ridge;
- and
- an alignment device engaged with the laser module.
