Abstract
A gun sight system includes a front sight and a rear sight providing high shot accuracy and immediate target acquisition. Each sight having light-gathering means functions dependently defining a highly visible aiming point. An elongated light-gathering plastic rod retained on a front sight base member includes a triangular viewing surface. An oval-shaped light-gathering plastic rod, retained within a rear sight housing, includes two triangular shaped viewing surfaces disposed in a V-shaped void of the housing. From a user's perspective three lighted triangular shaped viewing ends of the light-gathering means define an aiming point and provide immediate target acquisition. Multi-colored light-gathering means and the creation of hot-spots further improve the present gun sight system.
Claims9
A multi-colored gun sight member comprising:
- a first elongated light-gathering means having at least one substantially flat surface, said first elongated light-gathering means having a first partial viewing surface of a first color at a first end thereof;
- a second elongated light-gathering means having at least one substantially flat surface, said second elongated light-gathering means having a second partial viewing surface of a second color at a first end thereof;
- and
- means for joining said first elongated light-gathering means and said second light-gathering means along said substantially flat surfaces such that said first and second partial viewing surfaces form a complete viewing surface.
A method for fabricating a multi-colored gun sight member including the steps of:
- b. forming a first elongated light-gathering means having at least one substantially flat surface, said first elongated light-gathering means having a first partial viewing surface of a first color at a first end thereof;
- c. forming a second elongated light-gathering means having at least one substantially flat surface, said second elongated light-gathering means having a second partial viewing surface of a second color at a first end thereof;
- and
- d. joining said first elongated light-gathering means and said second light-gathering means along said substantially flat surfaces such that said first and second partial viewing surfaces form a complete viewing surface.
