Definitions

  • a second end portion 44 of the tubular member 25 extends from the ball mount 39 through the ball seat ring 42 and through a retaining ring 45.
  • the retaining ring 45 is threaded into the annular sleeve of the rear mounting member 35 for releasably retaining the ball seat rings 41 and 42 in the bore 37 of the rear mounting member 35 and for retaining these rings 41 and 42 in engagement at their internal spherical surfaces with the outer spherical surface of the annular protrusion 39. In this manner, the tubular member 25 is effectively restrained against linear or axial movement at the rear mounting member 35.
  • the other mounting device 31 may be considered as a third device for mounting the tubular member 25 on the firearm at a distance from the means 35 and engaging the tubular member for restricting such member 25 to linear motion relative to the third means.
  • This third device with reference to Fig. 1, or its modified counterpart shown in Fig. 2, includes a sleeve 31 and 54 encompassing the tubular member 25 and having an annular protrusion 33 contacting that tubular member or a tubular extension thereof.
  • the laser tube 16 with extensions 19 and 20 is in fact bendable, even if made of glass or a ceramic or if composed of a metal-ceramic structure.
  • the end mirrors 17 and 18 are tiltable, typically in opposite senses, be it by virtue of their attachment to opposite ends of the laser tube via nipples 19 and 20 or by virtue of their coupling to the supporting structure at 51.
