Benefits of technology

Enables easy and secure mounting and removal of the light assembly on any weapon guide, enhancing user mobility and usability as a separate entity, while maintaining a compact and ergonomic design.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, such accessories can not be readily mounted on and detached from the weapon.
The problem of such prior art devices is again the cumbersome mounting process as well as the bulkiness of such devices.
More specifically, if the accessories can not be readily mounted on the weapon, they have to be provided with their specific mounting device thus decreasing the motility of the weapon user on site.
It is thus apparent, from the above-mentioned prior art documents, there is a lack for an aiming device which can be readily mounted on a weapon and be readily used separately, as an independent light assembly.

Embodiment Construction

[0028] In the following description, similar features in the drawings have been given similar reference numerals and, in order to lighten the figures, some elements are not referred to in some figures if they were already identified in a previous figure.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, 2 and 3, a light assembly 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, having a pre-defined shape, is removably attachable to a guide 20 provided on a weapon. Any guide, preferably provided with parallel flanges 22 can be used to slidably engage the lateral members of the light assembly's housing. This allows any guide, such as a railing system, preferably an M1913 rail or any equivalent thereof, to engage a light assembly while being mounted on the weapon of interest.

[0030] The light assembly 10 comprises a housing, preferably with two sides. Each side of the housing of the light assembly 10 is provided with a pair of lateral members 30, preferably received by corresponding ch...

Abstract

A mountable assembly is provided to be removably attached to a guide. The mountable assembly comprises a housing having at least one lateral member which is movable between a retracted position and an extended position for engaging the guide. Means for preventing the longitudinal movement of the mountable assembly on the guide are also provided with the mountable assembly. The mountable assembly can thus be easily mounted or be readily used as a separate and independent entity. An apparatus for mounting a readily removable housing on a guide is provided, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one lateral member movable between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the housing to which the at least one lateral member is movably received and adapted for engaging the guide.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates, in general, to the field of aiming devices. More particularly, it concerns a light assembly of pre-defined shape, for removable attachment to a guide provided on a weapon. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In the field of weapons, one major concern is proper aiming of the target of interest. In the prior art, there has been a number of aiming accessories, such as lasers, sites, flashlights or other accessories which can be mounted on firearms. Most of these accessories use various forms of locking screws, captive screws, nut and bolt clamps or other similar techniques to clamp the accessory to the weapon, as opposed to a latching mechanism which would safely lock the accessory to the weapon. Examples of such prior art accessories are given in U.S. patents or patent applications Nos. U.S. 2001 / 0027620 A1; U.S. 2001 / 0045046 A1; U.S. Pat. No. 5,555,662; U.S. Pat. No. 5,584,137; U.S. Pat. No. 5,941,489; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,56...
