042144000 | Using contrasting material or color (e.g., bead, etc.) | 6 |
20100077647 | Aiming Systems - Provided herein are systems for aiming devices. For example, the aiming systems can be used to aim a firearm. The aiming systems can comprise a front sight portion having a cross-section with a truncated triangle shape when viewed by an operator aiming the device. The aiming systems can further comprise a rear sight portion including a notch having a truncated triangle shape with a base, a left side, a right side, and an opening that is narrower than the base. The front sight portion is alignable relative to the notch for aiming the device. | 04-01-2010 |
20130180156 | FIREARM SIGHT WITH HORIZONTAL LINEAR ALIGNMENT INDICATOR - An apparatus comprising a rear sight configured to be coupled with a firearm, the rear sight comprising a left upward member and a right upward member comprising a left horizontal linear alignment indicator and the right upward member comprising a right horizontal linear alignment indicator, wherein a distance between the left horizontal linear alignment indictor and the top surface of the left upward member is less than or substantially equal to the height of the left horizontal linear alignment indicator and a distance between the right horizontal linear alignment indictor and the top surface of the right upward member is less than or substantially equal to the height of the right horizontal linear alignment indicator is disclosed. | 07-18-2013 |
20130255129 | Firearm and Air Gun Sight - A firearm sight comprising: a sight base; a left contrast geometry wall extending generally upward from the sight base, the left contrast geometry wall having a left operator end and a left firing end; a right contrast geometry wall extending generally upward from the sight base, the right contrast geometry wall having a right operator end and a right firing end, and where the left contrast geometry wall and right contrast geometry wall are tapered in position with respect to each other such that distance between the left operator end and the right operator end is greater than the distance between the left firing end and the right firing end; a targeting space located generally between left and right firing ends; a mounting interface attached to the underside of the base, and configured to attached to a top surface of a firearm; where the left and right contrast geometry walls each have an inner surface that has a visually contrasting appearance such that user intuitively adjusts the firearm such that the contrast geometry on the left wall and the contrast geometry on the right wall appear to the user to be symmetrical, equal in size and shape, and of a particular orientation, when the user properly aims the firearm at a target. | 10-03-2013 |
042145000 | Luminescent, phosphorescent, luminous material | 3 |
20100088944 | Illuminated Sight for use with Firearms and other instruments - A front sight assembly includes a self powered substantially permanent light source such as tritium source carried within a bore defined in a housing, where the housing preferably defines a structure symmetrically aligned along a central plane, where the bore carrying the light source has a central axis that lies within or parallel to the housing's central plane. The sight assembly housing terminates proximally in a proximal surface that faces the user when mounted on a firearm or other instrument. The sight assembly housing's proximal surface further includes a region surrounding or defining a periphery around the light source which is coated with, laminated with or altered to define a region of photo-luminescence that is substantially concentric with the center of the visible portion of light source. | 04-15-2010 |
20110314721 | High-visibility gunsight - A high-visibility gunsight has a body defining a vertical plane and having a vertically elongated rear face. The body extends from a lower base portion to an upper free end portion. A first visibility-enhancing element and a second visibility-enhancing element are connected to the body. The visibility-enhancing elements have different visibility enhancing properties. The visibility-enhancing elements are vertically aligned with each other and centered on the vertical plane. The body has a greater thickness lateral to the vertical plane at the base than at the free end. The invention also includes a rear sight operable to be aligned with the front sight along an aiming axis to form a gunsight system. | 12-29-2011 |
