20100083555 | AUTO LIGHT INTENSITY ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM - An auto light intensity adjustment system is provided. The auto light intensity adjustment system includes a light sensing unit, a charge/discharge circuit, a comparator unit and a light source module. The light sensing unit outputs a sensing signal according to an ambient light intensity detected thereby. The charge/discharge circuit is coupled to the light sensing unit for receiving the sensing signal, and generating a voltage signal with regular variation periods according to the sensing signal. The comparator unit compares the voltage signal to a threshold value signal, and outputs a result signal accordingly. The light source module modifies a light intensity according to the result signal. The invention automatically controls the light intensity according to the ambient light intensity. | 04-08-2010 |
20100122485 | Firearm mounting mechanism - A combination and accessory for a firearm having a receiving mechanism such as a Picanny rail or similar mechanism. A bracket is used to secure an accessory to the firearm via the receiving mechanism. The bracket mechanism uses a holder configured to encircle a portion of the accessory and a securing bracket adapted to engage the receiving mechanism. A manually operated compression mechanism simultaneously engages the securing bracket with said receiving mechanism and the holder with said accessory for a firearm | 05-20-2010 |
20100229452 | FIREARM SYSTEM HAVING CAMERA UNIT WITH ADJUSTABLE OPTICAL AXIS - A firearm system having a camera unit with an adjustable optical axis includes a firing device having a muzzle and a light beam projection unit adjusted to an axis of the muzzle and projecting a light beam, a camera unit arranged at a side of the firing device, and an optical axis adjustment unit supporting the camera unit and rotating the camera unit around at least one of a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis to adjust the optical axis of the camera unit to the light beam of the light beam projection unit on an image obtained by the camera unit. | 09-16-2010 |
20110162251 | FIREARM MOUNT WITH EMBEDDED SIGHT - A laser sight is embedded in a mounting rail otherwise used for attaching accessories to small arms discharge devices such as pistols or rifles. The mounting rail has a transverse profile that extends along an axis of the mounting rail for engaging mating features of the accessories. The laser sight is located at least partly within the transverse profile of the mounting rail and has a sighting axis that extends substantially parallel to the axis of the mounting rail. | 07-07-2011 |
20120124885 | MODULAR SIGHTING AND LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR HANDGUNS - Embodiments provide modular illumination systems that may be used with any handgun platform, and are not specific to any make or model. Some embodiments may provide lighting, for instance visible light and/or infrared light for use in low light or dark environments. Also provided in various embodiments are aiming and/or sighting systems that may be equipped with an IR sight or a laser sight, such as a red or green laser. In various embodiments, the illumination modules may couple to the handgun via a mounting member that is integral to the handgun body, and the mounting member may be recessed or otherwise concealed and/or protected by the handgun body. Thus, in various embodiments, no portion of the mounting member (or the corresponding mounting element on the illumination module) is exposed or visible when the illumination module is coupled to the mounting member, and a conventional holster may be used. | 05-24-2012 |
20120180370 | GUN SIGHT FLASHLIGHT ADAPTER - A gun sight flashlight adapter and improvement thereof, includes an upper sight portion with a sight post disposed between two sight guards and a middle sight portion adjacent to the upper sight portion, the middle sight portion defining an aperture having a diameter that is at least two hundred percent larger than the height of the sight post. The gun sight flashlight adapter also having a lower sight portion adjacent to the middle sight portion shaped to mechanically couple the gun sight flashlight adapter with a firearm. | 07-19-2012 |
20120216440 | MODULAR POWER SUPPLY FOR USE IN A WEAPON MOUNTABLE DESIGNATOR/ILLUMINATOR UNIT - A weapon-mountable designator/illuminator unit having a light source adapted to generate a light beam in a direction away from the unit. The light beam is variable between a collimated light beam and a divergent light beam for, respectively, designating a target and illuminating a target area of the weapon. At least a first modular power supply is adapted for installation in the designator/illuminator unit. The power supply includes a cage adapted to receive a power source, a first end adapted to be received within the designator/illuminator unit, and an end cap adapted to be exposed when the power supply is assembled with the unit. The power supply is adapted to deliver power from its power source to the light source of the designator/illuminator unit. The end cap may contain a light source for generating a light beam in addition to the light beam generated by the designator/illuminator unit. | 08-30-2012 |
20140082991 | ACCESSORY DEVICE FOR ATTACHMENT TO A FIREARM - An accessory device for attachment to a firearm may include a device body having a light source and a biasing member extending from the device body through an aperture of a rail clip. The biasing member has a distal end shaped for insertion into a firearm slot, and the device body has an anti-rotation feature that prevents the body from rotating about the biasing member with respect to the rail clip when the distal end is inserted in the firearm slot. | 03-27-2014 |
20140190063 | Mount Light for Firearm - A mount light for a firearm includes a lighting apparatus and a rail mounting arrangement, which includes a plurality of side panels, an actuation switch, a locking member and a resilient element. The side panels are extended from the mounting side of the lighting apparatus to form a receiving channel between the side panels. The locking member is movably provided in the receiving channel to move between a mounting position and a releasing position. The resilient element is mounted in the receiving channel to normally urge the locking member to retain at the mounting position, wherein in the mounting position, the locking member is urged by the resilient element to engage with a locking slot of a rail of the firearm so as to securely retain the lighting apparatus on the lighting apparatus, wherein in the releasing position, the locking member is moved to disengage with the locking slot. | 07-10-2014 |
20150143734 | Artificial Gun Mounting Accessory - An improved artificial accessory device for mounting on to a gun rail integration system of a weapon having a weighted housing, a thumb screw positioned on a bottom portion of the improved light structure, a threaded hole through which the thumb screw passes through into a small platform, a recoil groove for receiving gun recoil, a track for receiving the gun recoil and a pair of track extending members designed to allow gun trigger housing to fit in between. The thumb screw is designed to be tightened to engage the improved artificial accessory device with a bottom portion of the gun recoil. Specifically, the thumb screw when turned drives a small platform, that can be spring loaded and featuring a raised ridge, upward into a position flush with the bottom of the gun recoil and fitting the ridge within a counterpart recess in the bottom of the gun recoil. | 05-28-2015 |
20150316355 | Weapon Light Mount - An accessories mount, for weapons equipped with a tactical rail, comprises a quick-release clamp for a light and a pressure switch for actuating the light. This enables one light to be used on multiple weapons and to be readily mounted or de-mounted for charging the battery(ies) or using unattached to a firearm. The light may also be recharged while still clamped to the mount. | 11-05-2015 |
