Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional guns face challenges in delivering accurate shots in rapid succession due to reciprocating sights and personalizing guns can lead to functional issues or damage, such as preventing proper holster fit or increased wear on recoil springs.

Innovation Solution

A gun attachment with stationary aiming sights and a platform for personalization, including integrated or removably coupled peripheral components, that remains stationary during gun operation, allowing for accurate aiming and easy customization without imposing additional load on the gun.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional guns use reciprocating sights, then the sights can be integrated into the gun structure, but the sights move during operation reducing shooter accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooter accuracyVSAvoidsight stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates the sight system from the gun body by using an attachment that interfaces with the gun's existing structure (e.g., rail system or mounting points). The sight is mounted on this separate attachment rather than being integrated into the moving gun components, allowing the sight to remain stationary while the gun operates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediate attachment component that serves as a mediator between the gun and the sight. This attachment includes features like a body with mounting surfaces, adjustment mechanisms, and interface elements that connect to the gun while providing a stable platform for the sight, isolating the sight from the gun's reciprocating motion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If guns are personalized with additional components, then user customization is improved, but the gun's functionality may be compromised or damage may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegun personalizationVSAvoidgun functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a dynamic attachment system that can be easily installed and removed without permanent modification to the gun. The attachment includes features like reversible mounting mechanisms, adjustable components, and interface elements that allow users to customize their gun configuration while maintaining the ability to restore the gun to its original state, preventing damage from improper customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an attachment that can be fastened to a gun. The attachment may include a top surface having a longitudinal axis and an aiming sight that is parallel with the longitudinal axis, a front surface having a latitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the front surface including a muzzle aperture, a left surface, a right surface, and a fastening system. The fastening system may include a first mounting aperture of the left surface, a second mounting aperture of the right surface, and a locking pin capable of being positioned in the first mounting aperture and in the second mounting aperture such that the locking pin fastens the attachment to the gun. The attachment may be fastened to the gun such that the longitudinal axis is parallel with a longitudinal bore axis of the gun.
