Abstract
A laser device is mounted on the front surface of a trigger guard on a firearm such that a laser beam is emitted in the direction of fire. Mounting screws pass through the trigger guard into an end of the laser device, and a pivot device placed between the laser device and trigger guard permits adjustment of the orientation of the laser beam relative to the barrel axis of the firearm. Power to the laser device is provided by passing wires through channels that are drilled through the trigger guard, and then to a battery through a momentary switch that is mounted on the front surface of the firearm handle or grip.
Claims20
A device for mounting a laser device that emits a laser beam from one end thereof onto a bracket, comprising:
- a bracket containing at least three through holes passing therethrough,
- an end portion of said laser device opposite the end from which said laser beam is emitted and having screw holes therein facing each of said through holes,
- a quantity of screws equal in number to said number of screw holes, said screws passing through said through holes and rotatably entering into said screw holes,
- means for varying the orientation of said laser device as the depth of entry of said screws into said screw holes is adjusted, and
- means for providing electrical power to said laser device.
A method of modifying a bracket so as to accommodate the aimable mounting thereon of a laser device that emits a laser beam from an end thereof, comprising
- providing at least three through holes through said bracket,
- providing within an end portion of said laser device opposite said end which emits said laser beam a number of screw holes equal in number to, and positioned in a fashion so as to face, said through holes,
- providing screws that pass through said through holes and rotatably enter said screw holes, and
- providing means for accommodating a varying depth of entry of each of said screws into said screw holes so as to vary the orientation of said laser device.
A method of modifying a trigger guard so as to accommodate the aimable mounting thereon of a laser device that emits a laser beam from an end thereof, comprising
- providing at least three through holes through said trigger guard,
- providing within an end portion of said laser device opposite said end which emits said laser beam a number of screw holes equal in number to, and positioned in a fashion so as to face, said through holes,
- providing screws that pass through said through holes and rotatably enter said screw holes, and
- providing means for accommodating a varying depth of entry of each of said screws into said screw holes so as to vary the orientation of said laser device.
