Publication number: 20250123486Abstract: A weapon display device includes a display engine, a waveguide, and a chassis. The display engine is configured to selectively output light. The waveguide is configured to receive the light from the display and output graphics to the user. The chassis is coupled to the display engine and the waveguide, and is further configured to releasably mount to one of a weapon or an optic mounted to the weapon such that a field of view through the waveguide is aligned with an optical axis of the optic.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Brian Bellah, Todd Estes, Waylin Wing, Anthony Heath, Joseph Brincat, Abram Summerfield

Publication number: 20250116485Abstract: A weapon sight includes a chassis and an optical system. The chassis is coupleable to a firearm. The optical system is coupled to the chassis and includes a light source, a collimator, a mirror, a diffraction grating, and a hologram. The light source is a light emitting diode (LED) that emits light. The collimator receives the light from the light source and reflects the light in parallel rays. The folding mirror receives the light from the collimator and reflects the light in the parallel rays. The diffraction grating receives the light from the folding mirror and diffracts the light. The hologram receives the light from the diffraction grating to output a reticle visible by a user of the weapon sight.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Waylin Wing, Joseph Brincat, Anthony Heath, Dean Loebig, Abram Summerfield

Patent number: 12158324Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for a weapon sight with a tapered housing. The housing may be configured to enclose an optical bench and/or a portion of an adjuster assembly within the weapon sight. The housing may include an outer shell, a first window, and a second window. The first window may define a first area. The second window may define a second area. The second area may be greater than the first area, for example, such that the outer shell is tapered outward from the first opening to the second opening. The outer shell may define a first wall and a second wall that extend between the first opening and the second opening on opposed sides of an optical path of the weapon sight. The first wall and the second wall may be slanted outward from the first window to the second window.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: EOTech, LLCInventors: Mark Edwin Schulte, Anthony Heath

Patent number: 11709333Abstract: A holographic sight comprises a unitary optical component carrier having a plurality of receptacles for receiving optical components. A collimating optic abuts a surface of a first receptacle. A mirror abuts a surface of a second receptacle. A collar is positioned in a third receptacle and a laser diode is positioned within the collar. A first portion of the collar is affixed relative to a first portion of the third receptacle and a second portion of the collar is free to expand and contract relative to the third receptacle. The laser diode is affixed to the collar proximate the second portion and is free to move relative to the third receptacle with expansion and contraction of the second portion. The laser diode, the mirror, and the collimating optic are positioned relative to each other to create an optical path.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: EOTech, LLCInventors: Anthony Heath, Deanna Kay McMillen, Steven Kent Brown, John Coleman Horton, IV

Patent number: 11467391Abstract: A holographic sight comprises a unitary optical component carrier. The unitary optical component carrier may comprise a body with a first receptacle configured to receive a laser diode, a second receptacle configured to receive a mirror, a third receptacle configured to receive a collimating optic, a fourth receptacle configured to receive a grating, and a fifth receptacle configured to receive an image hologram. A laser diode may be received within opposing walls formed by the first receptacle. A mirror may be received in, and abut one or more surfaces of the second receptacle. A collimating optic may be received in, and abut one or more surfaces of the third receptacle. A grating may be received in, and abut one or more surfaces of the fourth receptacle. A hologram image may be received in, and abut one or more surfaces of the fifth receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: EOTech, LLCInventors: Anthony Heath, Deanna Kay McMillen, James Olson

Patent number: 11449003Abstract: A holographic sight comprises a base, a support member attached to the base and extending upward therefrom, and a unitary optical component carrier formed with the support member. The support member is flexible and the unitary optical component carrier moveable in horizontal and vertical directions relative to the base. A bridge is attached to the base and forms an opening into which a portion of the unitary optical component carrier extends. A projection is coupled with the bridge and protrudes into the opening to abut the unitary optical component carrier. Extending the projection into the opening increases pressure applied by the projection to the optical component carrier. The increased pressure causes the unitary optical component carrier to be displaced.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: EOTech, LLCInventors: Anthony Heath, Steve Freis

Patent number: 11435162Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for a modular weapon sight assembly. A weapon sight may include a base, an optical bench, an adjuster assembly, and/or a housing. The base may be configured to be releasably secured to a weapon. The optical bench may include a plurality of optical elements attached to a unitary component carrier. A relative position of the plurality of optical elements may define an optical path of the weapon sight. The base, the optical bench, the adjuster assembly, and the housing may be configured as separate modules. For example, the optical path of the optical bench may remain constant during adjustment and/or replacement of the base, the adjuster assembly, and/or the housing. A change in position of the base, the adjuster assembly, and/or the housing may not alter the relative position of the plurality of optical elements with respect to one another.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: EOTech, LLCInventors: Anthony Heath, Deanna Kay McMillen

The laser diode, the mirror, and the collimating optic are positioned relative to each other to create an optical path. The collar expands and contracts in response to changes in temperature to compensate for the unitary optical component carrier expanding and contracting in response to changes in temperature.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: EOTech, LLCInventors: Anthony Heath, Deanna Kay McMillen, Steven Kent Brown, John Coleman Horton, IV
