  • Patent number: 9389046
    Abstract: A sight module for a firearm having a barrel axis includes a base for detachably attaching onto the firearm, a first optic upwardly extended from the base to define a first sight axis parallel to the barrel axis of the firearm, and a second optic sidewardly extended from the first optic to define a second sight axis parallel to the barrel axis of the firearm and orientated at an offset angle with respect to the first sight axis, wherein a distance between the first sight axis and the barrel axis equals to a distance between the second sight axis and the barrel axis. Therefore, a user is able to maintain the same cheek weld on the firearm stock to view one of the first and second optics in order to quickly switch between the first and second optics by simply rotating the firearm.

  • Patent number: 9372049
    Abstract: A handle sight for a firearm includes a mounting base and a carrying handle. The mounting base has an elongated shape and defining a first end portion and an opposed second end portion, wherein the mounting base is adapted for detachably mounting on the firearm in a reversible orientation to locate the first end portion of the mounting base one of a forward direction and a rearward direction of the firearm. The carrying handle is upwardly extended from the first end portion of the mounting base at a top side thereof, wherein the carrying handle has a hollow structure to define a sight channel for parallelly align with a barrel axis of the firearm so as to enable an operator to aim at a front iron sight of the firearm through the sight channel.

  • Patent number: 9341441
    Abstract: A KeyMod quick mounting arrangement is arranged for detachably coupling an accessory at a firearm having a KeyMod mounting slot, wherein the arrangement includes a mounting body having a first side extended from the accessory to be detachably coupled with the firearm, and a coupling head movably extended from the mounting body between a releasing position and a securing position. The coupling head has a head portion outwardly protruded from an opposed second side of the mounting body, wherein the mounting body is stationary when the coupling head is moved between the releasing position and the securing position. In the releasing position, the head portion of the coupling head is disposed in an enlarged slot portion of the mounting slot. In the securing position, the head portion of the coupling head is slid to a narrower slot portion of the mounting slot for securing the accessory at the firearm.

  • Patent number: 9316460
    Abstract: A sight device includes a mounting base for detachably mounting on the firearm, a sight unit upwardly extended from the mounting base, and a sight arrangement provided at the mounting base at a position underneath the sight unit, wherein the sight arrangement includes first and second modules. The first sight module includes a first light housing frontwardly extended from the mounting base and a first light unit supported in the first light housing for generating a light beam parallel to a bore axis of the firearm and close to the bore axis of the firearm to reduce an off-axis bore height. The second sight modules includes a second light housing frontwardly extended from the mounting base and spaced part from the first light housing, and a second light unit supported in the second light housing for illumination.

  • Publication number: 20160079731
    Abstract: A laser aiming device includes a laser generator and a module activating the laser generator to generate a non-continuous laser beam in order to form a bright spot of light in a flickering manner that a flickering interval of the bright spot of light is short enough not to be noticed by a human eye. A pulse width modulation (PWM) of the control module modulates the laser beam in form of rectangular pulse wave to control an output power of the non-continuous laser beam being not exceed 5 mW continuous wave.
