Windage and elevation mechanism for laser aimed weapons
First Claim
1. A windage and elevation mechanism for a weapon having an elongate barrel with a laser aiming device attached thereto comprising:
- a support member;
a bearing disposed within said support member;
a shaft located between said bearing and said laser aiming device in axial alignment with said barrel, said shaft being rigidly attached to said laser aiming device and movably attached to said bearing; and
adjusting means mounted to said support member operatively associated with said bearing for calibrating said laser aiming device in a vertical and horizontal direction.

Abstract
A windage and elevation mechanism is disclosed for use on a laser aimed weapon. A laser device may be enclosed in a dust proof housing and controlled by an axial shaft rigidly connected to the housing and further movably connected to an adjusting mechanism as a bearing for example. The bearing is located in a support member in conjunction with an angle bracket and spring cam operated on by a return coil spring. The support member has a plurality of apertures for accepting windage and elevation adjusting screws and the axial shaft extending from the laser housing. Upon adjustment of these windage and elevation screws the axial shaft is calibrated in a vertical and horizontal direction thus aiming the laser along the boresight of the weapon.

9. An aiming system for a barreled weapon comprising:
-
a light source for generating a coherent beam of light; a carrying member supporting said light source; damping means for cushioning said light source from recoil forces resulting from the firing of said weapon; and a windage and elevation mechanism attached to the barrel of said weapon including; a support member, a bearing disposed within said support member, a shaft disposed between said bearing and said carrying member in axial alignment with said barrel, said shaft movably attached to said bearing and rigidly attached to said carrying member; and adjusting means mounted to said support member operatively associated with said bearing for calibrating the windage and elevation of said light source. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
