Abstract
Adapters removably affixing a hand held laser pointer to selected apparatus are disclosed. The adapters include structure for mounting therein the laser pointer having a laser module emitting a laser beam, a casing, a voltage source and a switch for controlling the laser module. Also included is a device for maintaining the laser pointer in an on condition and means for removably affixing the adapters to the selected apparatus such that when the adapters are affixed thereon, the laser beam emitted from the laser pointer is aimed in a predetermined relation with respect to the selected apparatus. The laser pointer and associated adapters are employed to optimize the use of the laser pointer and enhance the selected apparatus upon which it is mounted.
Claims15
A laser aiming device projecting an alignment beam, said laser device comprising:
- a hand held laser pointer including a laser module emitting a laser beam, a casing, a power source, and a normally open switch having an on position and an off position controlling said laser module, such that a sustained force is required to maintain said switch in an on position;
- an adapter on which said laser pointer is removably affixed;
- means for maintaining said laser pointer in said on position on said adapter;
- and means for affixing said adapter on selected apparatus such that when said laser pointer is installed on said adapter, said laser beam emitted therefrom is projected in a predetermined relation with respect to said selected apparatus.
A laser device projecting an alignment beam, said laser device comprising;
- a hand held laser pointer including a laser module emitting a laser beam, a casing, a power source and a normally open switch having an on position and an off position controlling said laser module;
- a pointer enclosure having a bore in which said laser pointer is removably affixed such that said laser beam is emitted through an opening in said bore;
- means on said enclosure for maintaining said laser pointer in said on position;
- a support member forming first and second alignment means;
- said first alignment means affixing and aligning said support member on selected apparatus, said second alignment means removably affixing and aligning said pointer enclosure on said support member;
- and
- said pointer enclosure and said support member being mutually aligned such that when said pointer is installed in said pointer enclosure, said laser beam emitted therefrom is aimed in a predetermined relation with respect to said selected apparatus.
