Benefits of technology

[0016]FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the gun with portions cut away showing the barrel of a gun in section with the practice device inserted in the gun barrel.

Problems solved by technology

However, such laser guns are not configured to fire actual bullets and thus do not include a firing pin, hammer or the like.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The practice device of the present invention is indicated generally at 10 in FIGS. 1-5. FIG. 1 shows device 10 in use with a gun 12 and more particularly with device 10 inserted into a barrel 14 of gun 12. Gun 12 further includes a hand grip 16, a trigger 18 and a hammer 20. While gun 12 is shown as a pistol, gun 12 is also meant to represent a rifle or any hand held weapon with a firing pin / hammer and a bore through which bullets may be fired. In general, device 10 is configured to produce a laser beam to simulate the pathway of a fired bullet upon activation by the movement or impact of hammer 20, which is typically activated by trigger 18.

[0020] With reference to FIG. 2, practice device 10 includes a bore insert 22, a striker member 24, a pair of bore-receivable barrel-engageable supports 26, a slidable magnet 28, a laser-producing mechanism 30 and an alignment mechanism 32 for aligning laser-producing mechanism 30. Bore insert 22 has a first or insertion end 34 and a sec...

Abstract

A practice device for use with a gun includes a laser-producing mechanism for producing a laser beam simulating a fired-bullet pathway. The device includes a bore insert with a striker member which the firing pin of the gun impacts and moves during a firing movement thereof. The movement of the striker member moves an electrical switch mounted on the bore insert to form a closed electrical circuit to activate the laser-producing mechanism. The electrical switch automatically returns to an open-circuit position to turn the laser beam off. A support which preferably includes resilient plastic bristles extends radially outwardly from the bore insert to prevent damage to the gun bore inner surface and to allow for use with guns having different bore sizes. The laser-producing mechanism is pivotally mounted on the bore insert to provide alignment thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The invention relates generally to guns and devices used therewith. More particularly, the invention relates to a practice device to assist in the practicing of shooting a gun. Specifically, the invention relates to such a practice device which is mountable on a gun and simulates the pathway of a fired bullet with a laser beam. [0003] 2. Background Information [0004] Laser-producing devices have been used in various ways to increase accuracy of pistols and rifles. For example, laser boresighters are used in the alignment of the sights of a gun. Such boresighters are mounted on a gun in order to produce a laser beam which shines on a target to provide a reference point against which the sights of the gun may be adjusted. Some boresighters are configured to fit within the bore of a gun barrel. The laser beams of these boresighters are turned on and off manually. In addition, laser-producing devices have been incorporated as ...
