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.
Claims20
An adapter system for mounting an accessory to a small-arm dischargeable device, the adapter system comprising:
- (a) an adapter body having a receptor and a mounting rail supported from the receptor,
- (b) 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
- (c) a beam generator in the adapter body, the beam generator having a sighting axis that extends substantially parallel to the axis of the mounting rail.
An adaptor system for mounting an accessory to a small arm dischargeable device having a discharge axis, the adaptor system comprising:
- (a) an adapter body having a receptor and a mounting rail spaced from the receptor, the receptor being engagable to the dischargeable device for aligning an axis of the mounting rail relative to the discharge axis, the mounting rail having a transverse profile extending along the axis for cooperatively engaging the accessory;
- and
- (b) a beam generator in the adapter body for emitting radiation relative to the discharge axis.
An adaptor system for mounting an accessory to a small arm dischargeable device having a discharge axis, the adaptor system comprising:
- (a) an adapter body having a female mount and a male mount spaced from the female mount, the female mount being engagable to the dischargeable device for aligning an axis of the male mount relative to the discharge axis, the male mount having a transverse profile extending along the axis for cooperatively engaging the accessory;
- and
- (b) a beam generator in the adapter body for emitting radiation relative to the discharge axis.
