Abstract

A laser sighting device for improving the overall targeting accuracy of the gun. The laser sighting device includes a casing having an open front end, an open back end, a side wall, a first flange member being securely disposed upon and extending from the interior of the side wall intermediate of the ends, a second flange member being securely disposed upon and extending from the interior of the side wall at the back end thereof, and also includes a laser light which includes a body member having a laser diode at a front end and a contact pole at the back end thereof with the body member being engaged in the casing at the open front end, and also includes a contact switch member having housing, a front wall, a side wall, and open back end which is closeable with a cap member, a flange member securely disposed about the exterior of the side wall, and a flanged portion near the back end of the housing, and further includes a spring mounted about the contact switch member and three batteries removeably disposed within the housing for energizing the laser light.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A laser sighting device comprising:

a casing having an open front end, an open back end, at least one side wall, and a bore extending therethrough, an outer surface of said casing comprising a plurality of housing portions, said plurality of housing portions comprising:
a forward housing portion;
an intermediate housing portion, a front section of said intermediate housing portion extending into said forward housing portion, said intermediate housing portion being longitudinally movable with respect to said forward housing portion;
and
a rearward housing portion, a front section of said rearward housing portion extending into said intermediate housing portion, said front section of said rearward housing portion being threadedly mounted on a rear of said intermediate housing portion such that rotation of said rearward housing portion with respect to said intermediate housing portion adjusts the longitudinal protrusion of said rearward housing from said intermediate housing portion;
a biasing means for biasing said intermediate housing portion away from said forward housing portion;
a laser light means including a body member positioned in the forward housing portion of said casing and having a front end which is exposed at said front end the forward housing portion of said casing, said body member further having a contact pole extending outwardly from a back end thereof;
and
an energizing means for energizing said laser light means, said energizing means being removable from said intermediate housing portion by removal of said rearward housing portion from said intermediate housing portion.
