Description

POINTEUR A LASER LASER POINTER
La présente invention concerne un pointeur à laser pour arme de poing ou d'épaule, qui est compact et de conception modulaire.The present invention relates to a laser pointer for handgun or long gun, which is compact and modular in design.
Les pointeurs à laser connus se présentent sous la forme d'un boîtier destiné à être monté au-dessus du viseur de l'arme, sous ou à côté du canon, avec com¬ mande par câble et micro-rupteurs. Le réglage du fais¬ ceau laser se fait à l'aide de deux vis faisant saillie sur le boîtier. Avec ce genre de pointeur, l'axe du faisceau laser présente une parallaxe non né¬ gligeable par rapport à l'axe de tir et le maniement de l'arme sur laquelle est monté le pointeur nécessite l'usage des deux mains, c'est-à-dire une main pour la commande du laser et une main pour la commande de la détente de l'arme.Known laser pointers are in the form of a housing intended to be mounted above the sight of the weapon, under or next to the barrel, with control by cable and microswitches. The laser beam is adjusted using two screws projecting from the housing. With this type of pointer, the axis of the laser beam has a parallax which is not negligible relative to the firing axis and the handling of the weapon on which the pointer is mounted requires the use of both hands, it that is to say a hand for controlling the laser and a hand for controlling the trigger of the weapon.
L'invention a pour objet un pointeur à laser compact dont la conception mécanique permet le montage sur une arme de telle sorte que la parallaxe soit fortement réduite.The subject of the invention is a compact laser pointer whose mechanical design allows mounting on a weapon so that the parallax is greatly reduced.
Elle a également pour objet un pointeur à laser de conception modulaire qui permet un grand nombre de va- riantes d'exécution avec une standardisation poussée et une grande souplesse de mise en oeuvre.It also relates to a laser pointer of modular design which allows a large number of variants of execution with advanced standardization and great flexibility of implementation.
Cet objectif est atteint grâce à l'invention par un pointeur à laser caractérisé en ce que la cellule la¬ ser est logée dans un nez porte-laser monté sur un boîtier destiné à recevoir une source de courant, ce boîtier étant porté par un support pour montage sur une arme, ledit support portant un levier monté pour basculer autour d'un pivot fixé sur le support et s' étendant parallèlement à l'axe du nez porte-laser, ledit levier étant agencé pour que, lorsqu'il se trou¬ ve en position basculée, il actionne un contacteur qui coopère avec un contact de manière que la cellule soit mise sous tension.This objective is achieved thanks to the invention by a laser pointer characterized in that the la¬ ser cell is housed in a laser holder nose mounted on a housing intended to receive a current source, this housing being carried by a support for mounting on a weapon, said support carrying a lever mounted to tilt around a pivot fixed on the support and extending parallel to the axis of the laser holder nose, said lever being arranged so that, when it is in the tilted position, it actuates a contactor which cooperates with a contact so that the cell is energized.
Le levier précité a de préférence une forme qui pré¬ sente un bras qui est décalé latéralement par rapport au plan axial vertical du boîtier. Cette disposition a l'avantage de permettre la commande du laser et de la détente simultanément et d'une seule main.The aforementioned lever preferably has a shape which presents an arm which is offset laterally relative to the vertical axial plane of the housing. This arrangement has the advantage of allowing the laser and the trigger to be controlled simultaneously and with one hand.
Un second aspect de l'invention consiste en ce que la direction de l'axe du faisceau laser est maintenue et ajustée par des tiges disposées suivant deux direc¬ tions orthogonales et serrées entre la surface extéri¬ eure de la cellule laser et des bagues ayant une sur¬ face intérieure décentrée par rapport à l'axe de la cellule laser, la rotation de chacune de ces bagues faisant se déplacer axialement les tiges qui appuient contre la surface intérieure de la bague.A second aspect of the invention consists in that the direction of the axis of the laser beam is maintained and adjusted by rods arranged in two orthogonal direc¬ tions and clamped between the external surface of the laser cell and the rings having an inner surface off-centered with respect to the axis of the laser cell, the rotation of each of these rings causing the rods to move axially which press against the inner surface of the ring.
D'autres particularités de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de l'exposé qui suit dans lequel un mode de réalisation exemplaire de l'invention est décrit avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés .Other features of the invention will appear on reading the following description in which an exemplary embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Dans les dessins : - la figure 1 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un mode d'exécution exemplaire du pointeur à laser selon l'invention,In the drawings: - Figure 1 is an axial sectional view of a mode exemplary execution of the laser pointer according to the invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale sui¬ vant la ligne II-II de la figure 1, - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale sui¬ vant la ligne III-III de la figure 1,FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view following line II-II of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view following line III-III of FIG. 1,
- la figure 4 montre une variante d'exécution équiva¬ lente au montage de la figure 3.- Figure 4 shows a variant of equiva¬ slow assembly of Figure 3.
Se référant à la figure 1 on voit que le pointeur à laser selon l'invention comprend un nez 1 dans lequel est logée la cellule laser 10 qui contient les élé¬ ments électroniques et optiques, connus en soi, néces¬ saires pour la production d'un faisceau laser. Le nez 1 est monté sur un boîtier 2 qui renferme la ou les piles constituant la source courant. Le boîtier 2 est fermé par un couvercle 3 dont l'ouverture permet l'in¬ troduction de la source de courant.Referring to Figure 1 we see that the laser pointer according to the invention comprises a nose 1 in which is housed the laser cell 10 which contains the electronic and optical elements, known per se, necessary for the production of 'a laser beam. The nose 1 is mounted on a housing 2 which contains the battery or batteries constituting the current source. The housing 2 is closed by a cover 3, the opening of which allows the introduction of the current source.
» A l'intérieur du nez 2, la cellule laser 10 est main¬ tenue par une rotule en acier trempé 11. La direction de l'axe L de la cellule laser 10, c'est-à-dire la direction de l'axe du faisceau laser, est maintenue par des tiges 12, 13 disposées suivant deux directions orthogonales. La direction de l'axe du faisceau laser est réglée en faisant se déplacer les tiges 12 et 13 axialement. Suivant l'invention, ces tiges sont ser¬ rées entre la surface extérieure de la cellule laser 10 et la surface intérieure de deux bagues 14 et 15. Comme le montre en particulier la figure 3, les surfaces intérieures des bagues 14 et 15 sont décen¬ trées par rapport à l'axe L de la cellule laser 10. En faisant tourner une bague, les tiges sur lesquelles appuie la bague se trouvent déplacées axialement et déplacent en conséquence l'axe L du faisceau laser. Les tiges 12 et 13 peuvent être remplacées par des billes 16 ou des ressorts 17, par exemple. La figure 4 illustre schématiquement ces deux variantes à la fois. Le réglage par bagues décentrées présente l'avantage de supprimer les vis de réglage saillantes et de ré¬ duire l'encombrement du nez tout en assurant une étan- chéité parfaite.»Inside the nose 2, the laser cell 10 is held by a hardened steel ball joint 11. The direction of the axis L of the laser cell 10, that is to say the direction of the axis of the laser beam, is held by rods 12, 13 arranged in two orthogonal directions. The direction of the axis of the laser beam is adjusted by moving the rods 12 and 13 axially. According to the invention, these rods are tightened between the exterior surface of the laser cell 10 and the interior surface of two rings 14 and 15. As shown in particular in FIG. 3, the interior surfaces of the rings 14 and 15 are decent ¬ relative to the axis L of the laser cell 10. By rotating a ring, the rods on which the ring rests are displaced axially and consequently move the axis L of the laser beam. The rods 12 and 13 can be replaced by balls 16 or springs 17, for example. FIG. 4 schematically illustrates these two variants at the same time. Adjustment by off-center rings has the advantage of eliminating the protruding adjustment screws and of reducing the size of the nose while ensuring perfect sealing.
Le boîtier 2 est porté par un support 4 permettant le montage du dispositif sur une arme. Sur le support 4 est monté un levier 5 qui peut pivoter autour d'un axe pivot 6 s ' étendant parallèlement à l'axe du pointeur et visible à la figure 2. Le levier 5 est agencé pour que, lorsqu'il se trouve en position basculée, il ac- tionne un contacteur 7a qui coopère avec le contact 7b pour assurer la mise sous tension de la cellule laser 10 afin de produire un faisceau laser. Un verrou 8 permet de bloquer le levier 5 afin d'éviter des allu¬ mages indésirables du laser. Le support 4 peut être monobloc avec le boîtier 2.The housing 2 is carried by a support 4 allowing the mounting of the device on a weapon. On the support 4 is mounted a lever 5 which can pivot around a pivot axis 6 extending parallel to the axis of the pointer and visible in Figure 2. The lever 5 is arranged so that, when it is in tilted position, it actuates a contactor 7a which cooperates with the contact 7b to ensure the energization of the laser cell 10 in order to produce a laser beam. A lock 8 makes it possible to block the lever 5 in order to avoid unwanted allu¬ mages of the laser. The support 4 can be in one piece with the housing 2.
Ainsi que le montre plus particulièrement la figure 2, le levier 5 a une forme incurvée présentant un bras qui est décalé latéralement par rapport au plan axial vertical du boîtier 2. Grâce à cette disposition, le pointeur à laser selon l'invention peut être monté sur une arme dans une position angulaire située à 45° par rapport au plan axial vertical du dispositif de visée de l'arme, rapprochant ainsi l'axe du faisceau laser de l'axe de tir, ce qui réduit la parallaxe. De plus, le pointeur à laser laisse alors le dispositif de visée libre.As shown more particularly in Figure 2, the lever 5 has a curved shape having an arm which is offset laterally relative to the vertical axial plane of the housing 2. Thanks to this arrangement, the laser pointer according to the invention can be mounted on a weapon in an angular position located at 45 ° with respect to the vertical axial plane of the aiming device of the weapon, thus bringing the axis of the laser beam closer to the firing axis, which reduces parallax. In addition, the laser pointer then leaves the aiming device free.
D'autre part, le levier de commande 5 peut venir se placer sur le côté du canon de l'arme et être actionné d'une seule main et en même temps que la détente de l'arme. Le levier 5 peut également être placé indiffé¬ remment à droite ou à gauche du canon.On the other hand, the control lever 5 can be placed on the side of the barrel of the weapon and be actuated with one hand and at the same time as the trigger of the weapon. The lever 5 can also be placed indiffé¬ ment to the right or left of the barrel.
Un avantage pratique appréciable est que la commande du laser et la détente de l'arme peuvent être action¬ nées simultanément et d'une seule main. Enfin le levier de commande permet d'actionner le contacteur et d'allumer le laser de façon efficace et fiable.An appreciable practical advantage is that the laser control and the trigger of the weapon can be actuated simultaneously and with one hand. Finally, the control lever enables the contactor to be actuated and the laser to be turned on efficiently and reliably.
La conception modulaire du pointeur à laser selon l'invention permet un grand nombre de variantes d'exé¬ cution. La forme du boîtier 1 peut être adaptée aux piles prévues et le support peut être adapté aux modè- les d'armes tout en conservant une standardisation de fabrication poussée et en assurant une grande sou¬ plesse de montage en fonction du modèle d'arme ou selon les desiderata de l'utilisateur. The modular design of the laser pointer according to the invention allows a large number of variants of execution. The shape of the housing 1 can be adapted to the batteries provided and the support can be adapted to the weapon models while retaining advanced manufacturing standardization and ensuring great flexibility in mounting depending on the weapon model or according to the user's wishes.
