The system includes a holster proportioned to hold the handgun and is formed of a magnetically permeable material. The system further includes a magnetic element secured upon an external surface of the holster and positioned within electromagnetic communication with the on-off switch of the laser assembly. Upon withdrawal of the handgun, the holster magnetic flux attendant to the magnetic element will be removed from magnetic communication with the on-off switch of the laser sighting assembly thereby actuating the switch and, with it, the laser assembly such that the laser sighting assembly is fully functional and when the gun is withdrawn from the holster.
Description
- This application corresponds in subject matter to Document Disclosure Number 549,836, filed Mar. 26, 2004.
- A. Area of Invention
- The invention relates to an external switch for a modular sighting laser of a handgun.
- B. Prior Art
- Handguns having integral or selectably attachable laser sights have existed for a number of years, this as is reflected in U.S. Pat. No. 5,237,773 (1999) to Claridge, entitled Integral Laser Sight, Switch for a Gun; U.S. Pat. No. 5,509,226 (1996) to Houde-Walter, entitled firearm; U.S. Pat. No. 5,581,898 (1996) to Thummel, entitled Modular Sighting Laser for a Fire Arm; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,578,311 (2003) to Danielson, entitled Apparatus and Method for Actuating a Weapon Accessory by a Laser Sighting Beam.
- Other patents which show a laser gun sight mounted internally to the recoil spring guide rod of a weapon, said patent including U.S. Pat. No. 5,388,364 (1995) to Paldino, entitled Internally Mounted Laser Gun Site; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,392,550 (1995) to Moore, entitled Internal Laser Sight for Weapons.
- Notwithstanding significant developments in the art of laser sighting means for guns and other weapons, many of such system require either manual actuation of the laser sight or use a laser sight which is continually on such that the user's location may be revealed in a combat situation. A concern therefore has long existed that a laser gun sight may either prove awkward to actuate, or if in a normally on position, may actually prove counter-productive in a tactical situation. The present invention is therefore utilizes a normally-off laser-sighting system which however is automatically actuated by the user upon removal of the gun or weapon from a holster. The invention therefore addresses a long-felt need in the art of gun equipped with an internally sighted laser sight.
- The invention relates to a rapid activation system for a laser-sighting assembly of a handgun. Therein, the system includes a normally-off magnetically functionable on-off switch disposed within said laser assembly. The system includes a holster proportioned to hold said handgun and is formed of a magnetically permeable material. The system further includes a magnetic element secured upon an external surface of said holster and positioned within electromagnetic communication with said on-off switch of the laser assembly. Thereby, upon withdrawal of the handgun, the magnetic flux attendant to said magnetic element on the holster will be removed from magnetic communication with the on-off switch of the laser sighting assembly thereby actuating said switch and, with it, said laser such that the laser sighting assembly is fully functional when the gun is fully withdrawn from the holster.
- It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a self-contained accessory which is automatically activated upon withdrawal of a gun equipped therewith from a holster therefore.
- It is another object to provide a more tactically practically means of rapid target sighting which does not readily reveal the location of the user by an adversary.
- The above and yet other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the hereinafter set forth Brief Description of the Drawings, Detailed Description of the Invention and claims appended herewith.
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of a handgun having an accessory rail. -
FIG. 2 is a view, similar to that ofFIG. 1 , however showing attachment laser sighting assembly to accessory rails of the gun. -
FIG. 3 is a side schematic view of the inventive system showing the position of the hand gun relative to a holster and the magnetic strip associated therewith. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken through Line 4-4 ofFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 5 is a view of the underportion of the front of the gun shown inFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional schematic view taken through Line 6-6 ofFIG. 5 . -
FIG. 7 is a side plan view of a gun equipped with a second embodiment of the invention which the laser sighting assembly comprises a miniaturized package positioned within a forward portion of the recoil spring rod of the hand gun. -
FIG. 8 is a front portion schematic view of the embodiment ofFIG. 7 including a breakaway view of the recoil spring rod thereof. -
FIG. 9 is an exploded view of the elements of the second embodiment of the invention ofFIGS. 7-8 . - With reference to
FIG. 1 , there is shown in side plan view atypical handgun 10 to which the instant rapid targeting laser sighting system is applicable. More particularly, inFIG. 1 is shownaccessory rail 12, or universal mounting system, upon which various accessories inclusive of a laser sighting assembly may be attached. Such anassembly 100, as shown inFIG. 2 , facilitates accuracy of aiminggun 10 through its generation of alaser sighting beam 102 by which a target may be much more accurately and quickly sighted prior to firing ofgun 10. - Shown in
FIG. 3 is aholster 104 which holdsgun 10 such that only handle 14 protrudes therefrom. Attached to an exterior surface ofholster 104 is amagnet 106 which is secured in electromagnetic proximity tolaser sighting assembly 100. It is noted thatholster 104 must be made of a magnetically permeable material such as a fabric, plastic, and leather through which magnetic flux may freely pass. - The position of
laser sighting assembly 100 may be more fully appreciated with reference toFIG. 5 in which said assembly is shown secured to saidaccessory rail 12. Also shown therein is a manual override, so-called dip type, rocker or slide, switch 114 connected in line with a power source such as watch-type batteries 112 (seeFIG. 6 ) in a positive side circuit, or within a negative/ground circuit, to manually disconnectswitch 108 andlaser 110 fromsaid power source 112.Switch 108 may take the form of a reed switch, of the SPDT, C Type is positioned in line withpower source 112 and functions to connect the power source tolaser 110 when it is removed from close proximity of a magnetic field. Thereby, it should be understood thatswitch 108 is normally-off as long as it is positioned near a magnetic field of sufficient strength, such as the field ofmagnet 106. An appropriate magnet for this application includes a N40 grade magnet. It is noted thatmagnet 106 may be attached toholster 104 by various means including double sided tape, glue, or a sewing of the magnet to the holster or weapon holding device. Further, a pocket 116 (seeFIG. 3 ) provides a means of attachment to a holster clip and/or on a belt. - In view of the above, it may be appreciated that the removal of
gun 10 fromholster 104 will removeswitch 108 from the magnetic field ofmagnet 106 thereby actuating said switch and closing the circuit ofFIG. 6 to provide power tolaser 110, so thatlaser beam 102 may be generated. - A
further embodiment 200 of the invention is shown inFIGS. 7-9 . Therein is shown arecoil spring rod 18 ofgun 10, which is positioned belowgun barrel 20 and within semi-annularlower portion 16 of outer gun body. Withinrecoil 18 is provided all of the elements above set forth inFIG. 6 . That is, shown withinrecoil rod 18reed switch 208,laser current board 211,laser diode 210 and its resultingsighting beam 202. Through miniaturization of parts, said batteries as well as said reed switch may be packaged within the recoil rod. As is noted inFIG. 9 ,recoil spring 22 interfaces withembodiment 200thru end cap 26 andretainer clip 24. Insuch embodiment 200, the location ofmagnet 106 would differ slightly so that magnetic communication between the magnet and reed switch may be maintained when the gun is holstered. (The location of saidrecoil spring rod 18 relative to the entire gun is further shown inFIG. 7 . Pocket 116 may also be used as an attachment to a gun holster belt clip. - While there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of the instant invention, it is to be appreciated that the invention may be embodied otherwise than is herein specifically shown and described and that, within said embodiment, certain changes may be made in the form and arrangement of the parts without departing from the underlying ideas or principles of this invention as set forth in the claims appended herewith.
