Abstract
A sight mechanism for firearms such as pistols, rifles and the like. The sight mechanism includes a sight member that has a rear sight that is vertically adjusted. The sight member can be mounted on a vertically moveable member that has a fixing member that sets the vertical position of the sight member. The vertically moveable member may, without limitation, be a pivoting member. The sight mechanism includes magnets that bias the vertical member against the fixing member so that the magnets maintain the sight at the vertical position defined by the fixing member.
Claims29
A sight assembly for a firearm comprising:
- a mounting assembly that is adapted to be attached to a firearm in a fixable relationship with respect to the barrel of the firearm;
- a swing member that is pivotally attached to the mounting assembly wherein the swing member defines a mounting location;
- a sighting aperture member having a sighting aperture formed therein mounted on the mounting location of the swing member, wherein a vertical position of the sighting aperture member is adjustable by pivoting of the swing member with respect to the mounting assembly;
- and
- a magnetic biasing component that urges the swing member away from the mounting assembly to maintain the sighting aperture at a desired vertical location.
A sight assembly for a firearm comprising:
- a mounting assembly that is adapted to be attached to a firearm in a fixable relationship with respect to a barrel of the firearm;
- a first movement member that is attached to the mounting assembly so as to be movable with respect thereto in a first direction wherein the first movement member defines a mounting location;
- a sight mounted on the mounting location of the first movement member, wherein a first position of the sight is adjustable by movement of the first movement member with respect to the mounting assembly in the first direction;
- and
- a magnetic biasing component that urges the first movement member away from the mounting assembly to maintain the sight at a desired first position.
A sight assembly for a firearm having a barrel comprising:
- a pivot member assembly that is adapted to be pivotally attached to a surface of a firearm in a fixable relationship with respect to the barrel of the firearm;
- a sight member having a firearm sight formed thereon mounted on the pivot member wherein a vertical position of the sight member is adjustable by pivoting the pivot member assembly with respect to the barrel of the firearm;
- a magnetic biasing component that is adapted to be coupled to the firearm that urges the pivot member away from the surface of the firearm.
