  • Patent number: 6796038
    Abstract: An environmentally sealed, self-contained, adjustable beam laser sight and stabilizer combination for use in archery. The laser sighting device of present invention is comprised of a single cylindrical compartment housing a power source, a laser module coupled to the power source and having a laser diode for emitting laser beams, a cam operated laser module elevating mechanism and an inner cylindrical body. The cylinder has a front face and a laser light exit formed at the center of the face and aligned with the laser diode. The outer cylinder is rotated axially about the inner body and acting on the laser positioning cam. The cam converts rotary motion into a linear position change acting on the face of the laser module producing an angular displacement about its pivoting axis resulting in a change of vertical divergence of the laser beam with respect to the bow. A user calibrated waterproof self-adhesive range scale is installed on the moving cylinder adjacent to a stationary base.

  • Publication number: 20040111899
    Abstract: A laser sighting system comprised of three modular assemblies. The first modular component provides a means of attachment to any bow with the provisions for a standard {fraction (5/16)}-24NF threaded stabilizer mount. The third module functions as a waterproof and shockproof housing for a 650 nm laser diode assembly consisting of precision optical power control electronics, collimating lens and power source. The second module has provisions for adjustment of elevation and windage relative to bow and flight of the arrow. This allows for the “zero” setting at a given distance. The third module is attached to the first module via the second module. The third module provides a means to quickly and accurately change the vertical elevation of the light beam to compensate for needed trajectory changes. (I.E.
