Methods and Systems for Concealing Light

摘要

A device for preventing secondary light emitted by a laser sight from being seen is disclosed. The device includes a cavity defined by a sidewall and first and second ends of a light containment structure. In some embodiments, the light containment structure is mountable so as to receive light from a laser sight of a weapon through a first opening located at the first end of the light containment structure. The device can include a first portion located at the second end of the light containment structure, and a second opening defined by the first portion and that can pass light from the cavity toward an object such that the object is illuminated to a user of the weapon by the light from the second opening. In some embodiments, the cavity can be configured such that light does not directly illuminate the sidewall.

主权项

1. A sighting device, comprising:
a laser sight having an aperture through which a laser beam exits the laser sight; and a light shield abutting the laser sight, the light shield comprising:
a sidewall defining a side of a cavity configured to receive light from the laser sight through a first opening,a first element nonparallel with the side of the cavity and at least partly defining a first end of the cavity, wherein the first element defines a second opening configured to pass a portion of the laser sight light from the cavity toward an object such that the object is illuminated to a user of the laser sight by the portion of the laser sight light from the second opening, anda mount detachably connected to the laser sight and configured to hold the light shield in a mated position against the laser sight and to align second opening of the light shield with the aperture such that the laser beam can pass through second opening of the light shield.
