  • Patent number: 5671561
    Abstract: A modular, combination laser and electronic aiming system is disclosed having an electronic sight portion and a laser sight portion. The electronic sight portion has a lens and a first light source for projecting a light beam upon the lens. The laser sight portion has a second light source for projecting a beam onto a target. Separate frames may be used to mount the first and second light sources and the lens to the shooting apparatus, and the frame for the laser light source may be disposed between the frame for the electronic light source and the lens, securing the laser sight portion to the shooting apparatus without interfering with the operation of the electronic sight portion.

  • Patent number: 5033219
    Abstract: The modular aiming device comprises an elongated laser module operatively linked to a rechargeable power pack module. Rigid, quick-release clamps permit the hunter to mount the device alternatively upon an existing dove-tail scope mount or upon a pre-mounted optical telescope sight. A plurality of adjustable, padded scope rings may be employed to axially engage telescope sights of different diameters. A laser emitter diode is anchored within a tubular sleeve axially, adjustably disposed within the rigid laser housing. The laser sleeve comprises an asymmetrically planned, tubular, internally threaded shaft. Screw-driven, spring-biased, angular wedges associated with the sleeve cooperate with resilient flat springs to provide precision elevation and windage adjustments. Thumbscrew adjustments functioning as worm gears drive the wedges to tilt the laser sleeve horizontally and vertically relative to the laser housing.

  • Patent number: 4939863
    Abstract: A laser aiming device having a plasma tube encased by a cylindrical member upon which windage and elevation adjustments act. Resilient ring members separate the cylindrical member from the plasma tube. Another resilient member located between the cylindrical member and an outer housing member cavity wall provides counterforces against which the windage and elevation adjustments act.
