AN ELECTRONIC SIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH A FIREARM

摘要

According to the present invention, an electronic sight assembly (42) for sighting a revolver under various ambient lighting conditions comprises an elongated sight frame (340) having front (348) and rear sights (350), and means for illuminating the sights according to a measured level of ambient light. A front light guide (342) transmits light from a light source to the front sight, and a pair of rear light guides (344) transmit light from the light source to the rear sight. The sight frame (340) encloses a pair of ambient light guides, which transmit ambient light to a photosensitive cell that produces a signal corresponding to the ambient level of light. The light source is then energized according to the ambient level of light.
