  • Patent number: 11916352
    Abstract: Devices, apparatus, systems and methods for providing accurate linear and angular positioning with a payload mounted to a beam having freely moveable ends. The payload can be a laser pointer mounted on a firearm, which maintains the initial precise pointing during and after exposure in high G shock and vibration environments. Vertical and lateral adjustment controls can adjust minute changes in beam orientation. Precision adjustments can be performed in a zero G, one G, or high G environment and maintains the adjustment during and after being exposed to a high G shock or vibration environment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9077139
    Abstract: Devices, apparatus, systems and methods for providing accurate linear and angular positioning with a payload mounted to a shaped beam having freely moveable ends. The shaped beam can be a center deflecting beam. The payload can be a laser module mounted on a firearm, which maintains the initial precise pointing during and after exposure in high G shock and vibration environments, a dual laser payload or a laser and detector payload, or an optical mirror payload. Vertical and lateral adjustment controls can adjust minute changes in beam orientation. The vertical and lateral adjustments can be a vertical cam control and a lateral cam control for adjusting vertical and later position of the payload. Precision adjustments can be performed in a zero G, one G, or high G environment and maintains the adjustment during and after being exposed to a high G shock or vibration environment.
