  • Publication number: 20070144051
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for aiding in the alignment of a scope of a firearm. The apparatus includes a light generation device and a level indicator. The light generation device is attachable to the firearm and is for generating a reference beam. The reference beam may be a horizontal, vertical, or cross-hair line beam. When the level indicator indicates a level state, the reference beam generated by the light generation device is also level. Typically, the level reference beam is projected against a flat surface and is used as a reference to line up the crosshairs of a scope attached to the firearm.

  • Patent number: 5879494
    Abstract: A method of forming apertures generally greater than about 0.05 square millimeters in a thin sheet material. The thin sheet material includes a first side and a second side at least one side of the thin sheet material is substantially coated with an adhesive. The method comprises the steps of (a) placing the adhesive-coated thin sheet material on a patterned anvil having a pattern of raised areas wherein the height of the raised areas is equal to or less than the thickness of the thin sheet material and the adhesive; and (b) subjecting the thin sheet material to a sufficient amount of sonic vibrations to aperture the thin sheet material and the adhesive; and whereby the thin sheet material and the adhesive is apertured in a pattern generally the same as the pattern of raised areas on the patterned anvil.
