GUN SIGHT USING LED ILLUMINATION

摘要

A gun sight system including a housing, comprised of a top housing layer and a bottom housing layer. The housing includes a front end and a rear end configured to adhere to the front and rear of the top surface of a gun slide. A central portion of the housing is configured to be perpendicular to the front top and rear top sections. Within the housing is a front and rear circuit board, including at least one battery mount, at least one switch, and a front LED and a rear LED. The housing has a window to allow light from the LED to shine into a window on a front and rear gun sight. A light pipe within each gun sight allows the light to be seen by the gun's user.

主权项

1. A gun sight device comprising:
a substrate shaped in a continuous strip to have a front end portion and a back end portion that conform to a shape of a top surface of a gun slide and a central portion at a location along a slide of a central slide opening, said central portion substantially perpendicular to said front and portion and back end portion such that said central portion conforms to a shape of a side surface of a′gun slide; a groove received mounting on the back end portion of the slide fit into a rear slide groove on said slide; an adhesive on a bottom surface of said substrate; a battery terminal on said substrate for connecting to a battery; a front LED on said substrate in electrical connection to said battery terminal; a rear LED on said substrate in electrical connection to said battery terminal; a switch on said substrate, interposed between said battery terminal and said front LED and said rear LED, allowing power from said battery connected to said battery terminal to be turned on and off; a front sight mounted on said substrate; a front light pipe positioned to channel light from said front LED to a front window in said front sight; a rear sight mounted on said substrate; and a rear light pipe positioned to channel light from said rear LED to a pair of rear windows on said rear sight, wherein said rear sight has a plurality of underside parallel grooves that mate with a plurality of topside grooves on said substrate, aligning said rear sight.
