Ballistic alignment dual automatic sight switch optic mount

摘要

An optic mount for a firearm allows a user to switch between a primary optic and a secondary optic, facilitating rapid target acquisition when a user switches between close quarter engagement and long range engagement. The base of the optic mount is securable to a firearm. A primary optic platform can be pivoted and linearly translated with respect to the base. The primary optic platform is spring biased toward the front of the base. An actuator mechanism rotates a secondary optic platform on the base from a spring-biased first orientation to a second orientation. When in the first position, the primary optic platform engages the actuator mechanism, causing the secondary optic platform to be rotated to the second orientation. When in the second position, the primary optic platform does not engage the actuator mechanism, allowing the secondary optic platform to rotate to the first orientation.

主权项

1. An optic mount for supporting a primary optic and a secondary optic on a firearm for use in both close quarter engagement and long range engagement, the optic mount comprising:
a base capable of being secured to a firearm; a primary optic platform pivotably secured to the base and linearly translatable with respect to the base; the primary optic platform being spring biased forward with respect to the base; a secondary optic platform rotatably secured to the base, the secondary optic platform being rotatable from a first orientation to a second orientation; the secondary optic platform being spring biased to the first orientation; an actuator mechanism linked to the secondary optic platform; wherein the primary optic platform engages the actuator mechanism when the primary optic platform is in a first position, thereby causing the secondary optic platform to be rotated to the second orientation; wherein the primary optic platform does not engage the actuator mechanism when the primary optic platform is in a second position, thereby allowing the secondary optic platform to rotate to the first orientation; and wherein the secondary optic platform is a swivel platform, the swivel platform being rotatably positioned over the base and secured to a swivel shaft that is rotatably secured within the base, the swivel platform having an upper surface configured to receive a secondary optic, the swivel platform being rotatable from a first orientation in which the sight line of the secondary optic is substantially parallel to the barrel of the firearm to a second orientation in which the sight line of the secondary optic is substantially perpendicular to the barrel of the firearm.
