Abstract
Described herein are sight assemblies that can be used, for example, with a firearm. Methods for using the described sight assemblies are also described herein.
Claims20
A sight assembly comprising:
- a post, said post being configured for aiming the firearm;
- said post being rotatably coupled to a pivot, thereby forming a first movement sub-system;
- and
- said pivot being rotatably coupled to a base, thereby forming a second movement sub-system,
- wherein said first movement sub-system allows said post to rotate with respect to said pivot about an axis substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a barrel of the firearm between a folded state and a first extended state, and said second movement sub-system allows said post and pivot to rotate with respect to said base about said longitudinal axis between said first extended state and a second extended state different from said first extended state.

A method of orienting a sight assembly for a firearm, comprising the steps of:
- providing a sight assembly including a post, the post being configured for aiming the firearm, the post being rotatably coupled to a pivot, thereby forming a first movement sub-system, and the pivot being rotatably coupled to a base, thereby forming a second movement sub-system;
- rotating the post with respect to the pivot via the first movement sub-system about an axis substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a barrel of the firearm between a folded state, in which an axis of the post is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a first extended state, in which an axis of the post is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- rotating the post and the pivot with respect to the base via the second movement sub-system about the longitudinal axis between the first extended state and a second extended state, which is angularly offset from the first extended state.
