Abstract

A system, including a firearm comprising a receiver and an illumination sight. A illumination sight for a firearm that includes a housing member that is configured to be placed over a receiver of a firearm that couplable to a top portion of the receiver, the housing member including a lower extension that extends down the side of the receiver toward a trigger of the firearm when installed, a light source disposed within the housing member, and a power source disposed within the housing member that is configured to power the light source. A firearm that includes a laser sight illumination sight.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a firearm comprising a receiver; and

an illumination sight, comprising;

a housing member that is configured to be placed over a receiver of a firearm, the housing couples to a top surface of the receiver, the housing member including a lower extension that extends down the side of the receiver toward a trigger of the firearm when installed;

an attachment pin configured to couple the lower extension to the receiver;

the attachment pin replaces a trigger housing pin of the firearm when installed;

a light source disposed within the housing member; and

a power source disposed within the housing member that is configured to power the light source.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the housing member comprises a rear portion that extends toward the butt end of the firearm.

3. The illumination sight of claim 1, wherein the housing member comprises a front portion that extends toward a barrel end of the firearm.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising one or more fasteners that secure the illumination sight to the firearm when installed.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising an adjustment tool stored within the housing member, the adjustment tool is configured to adjust the sight and a battery compartment fastener.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the light source comprises a visible light laser diode, an infrared laser diode, an LED, an infrared light source, or a combination thereof.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the housing member further comprises an activation switch operably connected to the illumination source.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the activation switch is positioned within 4 inches of a trigger of the firearm when installed on the firearm.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the firearm is a non-shoulderable shotgun.

12. An illumination sight for a firearm, comprising:

a housing member that is configured to be placed over a receiver of a firearm, the housing couples to a top surface of the receiver of a firearm, the housing member including a lower extension that extends down the side of the receiver toward a trigger of the firearm when installed;

an attachment pin configured to couple the lower extension to the receiver;

the attachment pin replaces a trigger housing pin of the firearm when installed;

a light source disposed within the housing member; and

a power source disposed within the housing member that is configured to power the light source.

13. The illumination sight of claim 12, wherein the housing member comprises a front portion that extends toward a barrel end of the firearm when installed.

14. The illumination sight of claim 12, wherein the housing member comprises a rear portion that extends toward the butt end of the firearm when installed.

15. The illumination sight of claim 12, further comprising one or more fasteners that secure the illumination sight to the firearm when installed.

16. The illumination sight of claim 12, wherein the housing member protrudes less than ½

inch from the existing surfaces of the weapon when installed.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the illumination sight is configured to mount a Picatinny rail.

18. The system of claim 12, further comprising an adjustment tool stored within the housing member, the adjustment tool is configured to adjust the sight and a battery compartment fastener.

19. The illumination sight of claim 12, wherein the light source comprises a visible light laser diode, an infrared laser diode, an LED, an infrared light source, or a combination thereof.

20. The illumination sight of claim 12, wherein the housing member further comprises an activation switch operably connected to the illumination sight.

21. The illumination sight of claim 12, wherein the firearm is a non-shoulderable shotgun.
