Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device that can be used to aim a gun at a target using laser light. The device is designed to move when hit by laser light, so the user doesn't have to pick it up after a strike. The device contains a laser light detector and a motor. When a strike is detected, power is provided to the motor, causing the device to vibrate and move. This makes it easier to sight in on a target with a gun that fires laser light.

Problems solved by technology

When a strike of laser light is detected, power is provided to the motor, which causes the motor to vibrate and in turn causes the apparatus to move.

Embodiment Construction

[0006]Turning now to the drawings, where the purpose is to describe preferred embodiments of the invention and not to limit same, FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the invention. Apparatus 10 has a housing 12 with an annular outer surface 14, an annular inner surface 16, and three fastener retention grooves 18 that, as shown, are equally, radially spaced along inner surface 16. Housing 12 may, however, be of any suitable shape or size. Housing 12 is preferably clear (or translucent and colored red, which helps filter ambient light, but permits red laser light to pass through), so that red laser light can pass through it and be detected. Housing 12 has a top opening 20 and a bottom opening 22.

[0007]A top cap, or top, 30 functions to seal top opening 20 and to retain a portion of a motor sleeve. Top cap 30 has a flat, sealing portion 32 that has an upper surface 32A and a lower surface 32B. Top cap 30 includes three apertures 34 that align with fastener retent...

Abstract

A laser targeting apparatus rests on a surface and moves, such as by vibrating, wobbling, or shaking, when struck by laser light of sufficient intensity. The apparatus is designed not to fall over, so a user does not have to move to the apparatus and pick it up after a strike. The apparatus has a body that includes a structure, which is preferably one or more printed circuit boards including light sensors, for detecting strikes of laser light, and a motor. When a strike of laser light is detected, power is provided to the motor, which vibrates and causes the apparatus to move.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is related to targets that detect strikes of laser light, rather than targets that are struck with projectiles such as bullets.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]A laser targeting apparatus rests on a surface and moves, such as by vibrating or shaking, when struck at certain locations by laser light. The apparatus is designed not to fall over, so a user does not have to move to the apparatus and pick it up after a laser light strike. The apparatus has a body that houses a laser light detector, which is preferably one or more printed circuit boards, for detecting strikes of laser light, and a motor. The apparatus is typically used for aiming or sighting purposes with a gun that fires laser light instead of projectiles. This is often accomplished by using a standard gun with a laser light trainer cartridge, which is known to those in the art. When a strike of laser light is detected, power is provided to the motor, which causes the motor to...
