Abstract
A laser sight is embedded in a mounting rail otherwise used for attaching accessories to small arms discharge devices such as pistols or rifles. The mounting rail has a transverse profile that extends along an axis of the mounting rail for engaging mating features of the accessories. The laser sight is located at least partly within the transverse profile of the mounting rail and has a sighting axis that extends substantially parallel to the axis of the mounting rail.
Claims31
An accessory mount for a small-arm dischargeable device comprising
- a dovetail rail for mounting an accessory,
- tapered sidewalls of the dovetail rail extending along a longitudinal axis of the dovetail rail and being spaced apart along an orthogonal transverse axis of the dovetail rail in positions for engaging mating sidewalls of a dovetail receptor formed in the accessory, and
- a laser sight embedded in the dovetail rail in a position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the dovetail rail and positioned along the transverse axis of the dovetail rail at least partly between the tapered sidewalls.
In a Picatinny-type rail arranged for mounting accessories to a small-arm dischargeable device and having a T-shaped profile for engaging corresponding profile features of the accessories, the improvement comprising
- a laser sight that is at least partially embedded in the portion of the Picatinny-type rail having the T-shaped profile.
An adapter system for mounting an accessory to a small-arm dischargeable device comprising
- an adapter body having a receptor and a mounting rail supported from the receptor,
- the receptor being adaptable to the dischargeable device for aligning an axis of the mounting rail substantially parallel with a discharge axis of the dischargeable device,
- the mounting rail having a transverse profile that extends along the axis of the mounting rail for engaging mating features of the accessory, and
- a light-emitting sighting device being located at least partly within the transverse profile of the mounting rail and having a sighting axis that extends substantially parallel to the axis of the mounting rail.
