Benefits of technology

This patent describes an adjustable holographic gun sight that allows for easy adjustment of windage and elevation. The sight includes a carrier and a base, with a pair of dropouts that allow the carrier to pivot with respect to the base. This external adjustment means that the optics remain fixed in place, relative to each other and the carrier, which prevents distortion of the optics. The dropouts are connected to a flexible receiving assembly on the base, which includes a ball bearing and a spring to facilitate pivoting of the carrier with respect to the base. The sight also includes a plurality of ball bearings and springs in the flexible receiving assembly, which allows for flexing of the carrier. Overall, the dropouts and flexible receiving assembly make for a more robust and efficient adjustable holographic gun sight.

Problems solved by technology

Adjusting a holographic gun sight for windage and elevation, however, has presented many challenges.
Existing systems have drawbacks.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]The present invention provides for an improved adjustment assembly for use with a gun sight. The present invention also provides for an improved hologram carrier.

[0034]An exploded view of a gun sight 10 is illustrated in FIG. 1. The gun sight 10 includes a base 12 and a carrier 14. The base 12 is adapted to connect to an upper portion of the gun. The carrier 14 is pivotally mounted to the base 12 by means of a pair of dropouts 16, 16a. The dropouts 16, 16a (shown in FIGS. 12 and 14) connect to both the base 12 and the carrier 14. The dropouts 16, 16a are generally planar and have apertures adapted to allow for fastening of the dropouts 16, 16a to both the base 12 and the carrier 14.

[0035]The dropouts 16, 16a each include a projection 17 adapted to connect with the base 12. The base 12 may also have at least one flexible receiving assembly 92, 93 (shown in FIGS. 12, 14). The flexible receiving assembly 92 facilitates a projection 17 to connect with the base 12. FIGS. 12 and 14 ...

Abstract

An adjustable holographic gun sight has a base and a carrier pivotally connected to the base. An adjustment mechanism may be adapted to pivot the carrier with respect to the base. A pair of dropouts connects the carrier to the base and the dropouts allow the carrier to pivot with respect to the base. The dropouts may be mounted to an external portion of the carrier and the base thereby provides for external adjustment of the gun sight.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 62 / 150,486, filed Apr. 21, 2015, the entire content of which is incorporated herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure relates to a holographic image apparatus for use with a weapon. More specifically, the present invention relates to a holographic image apparatus having external adjustment capabilities.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Holographic gun sights are well known. Adjusting a holographic gun sight for windage and elevation, however, has presented many challenges. Adjustment is required to align the positioning of the reconstructed reticle and to compensate for various weapon types and targeting procedures. Existing systems have drawbacks. Accordingly, there exists a need in the art to provide alternative and improved designs for windage and elevation adjustment for holographic gun sights.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[000...
