  • Publication number: 20200408489
    Abstract: An electrically powered device is secured to the exterior surface of a handgun-mounted laser sight. The powered device includes a housing with two parallel arms that receive between them the laser sight housing. An plug on the inside surface of one arm enters and engages with a battery cavity in the housing to create a physical interference and connection between the powered device and the laser sight device housing. The plug includes electrical circuit elements to electrically connect the powered device to a battery within the cavity. The powered device is powered by connection with a battery contained in the laser sight device to which it is mounted.
