Compact laser aiming assembly for a firearm

A laser aiming assembly comprising a laser module having a front and a back and adapted to be rotatably seated in a socket having a window therein, the front of the module having a bearing with a convex, curved front surface and a window therein, said laser module further comprising a tubular casing disposed at the back of the module, said tubular casing including a laser for producing a beam of light and a drive circuit for providing electrical power to the laser so as to cause it to lase, wherein said tubular casing comprises a laser holding part and a circuit holding part, the circuit holding part having a narrowed front that fits within a back of the laser holding part, the laser module also being adapted to support said laser in back of the bearing so that when the front of the bearing is seated in the socket, a beam of light emitted from said laser propagates through the window in the front of the laser module and through the window in the socket.

A laser aiming assembly, comprising a laser module having a front and a back and adapted to be rotatably seated in a socket having a window therein, the front of the module having a bearing with a convex, curved front surface and a window therein, said laser module further comprising a tubular casing disposed at the back of the module and a back post disposed at the back of said tubular casing for rotating the laser module, said tubular casing including a laser for producing a beam of light and a drive circuit for providing electrical power to the laser so as to cause it to lase, the laser module also being adapted to support said laser in back of the bearing so that when the front of the bearing is seated in the socket, a beam of light emitted from said laser propagates through the window in the front of the laser module and through the window in the socket.

A laser aiming assembly, comprising:

• a laser module having a front and a back and adapted to be rotatably seated in a socket having a window therein, the front of the module having a bearing with a convex, curved front surface and a window therein, said laser module further comprising a tubular casing disposed at the back of the module, said tubular casing including a laser for producing a beam of light and a drive circuit for providing electrical power to the laser so as to cause it to lase mounted therein, wherein said tubular casing comprises a laser holding part and a circuit holding part, the circuit holding part having a narrowed front that fits within a back of the laser holding part, and
• a socket, having a front and a back and a window therein, the back having a concave surface formed therein, the bearing of the laser module being seated in the socket, the socket further having an adjustment mechanism coupled to the socket and the laser module for rotating the laser module in the socket so as to aim the beam of light,
• said laser module also being adapted to support a laser in back of the bearing so that when the front of the bearing is seated in the socket, a beam of light emitted from the laser propagates through the window in the front of the laser module and through the window in the socket.
