In the accompanying drawings which show an illustrative embodiment of the sight mount of the invention
Further objects and features of the invention will be obvious to the skilled man from the description of the illustrative embodiment which follows.
The sight mount disclosed in the drawings comprises a base part 10 and an upper part 11 which are separate units as shown in
The base part 10 forms a jaw 12 and is provided with an adjustable jaw 13 cooperating with jaw 12, and by means of these jaws the base part 10 can be clamped to a rail attached to a fire arm such as a hand gun or rifle, jaw 13 being tightened by means of a screw connection 14. The base part forms a rectangular flat surface 15. A flange 16 projecting perpendicularly from said surface extends along one longitudinal edge of the surface. Also a cylindrical pin 17 projects perpendicularly from the flat surface adjacent the opposite longitudinal edge thereof. A groove 18 is defined by flange 16 and surface 15 along said one longitudinal edge, and a groove 19 is defined also in a side surface of base part 10 along said opposite longitudinal edge.
In a transverse slot 20 formed by the base part 10 and opening in the flat surface 15 there is pivotally mounted to the base part a latch lever 21 with a knurled finger grip 22. The latch lever is spring biased to be held in the position disclosed in the drawings but can be depressed against the spring bias to a position in which the latch lever except the finger grip 22 thereof is flush with the flat surface 15.
The upper part 11 comprises a split ring consisting of a semi-cylindrical bottom 23 and a semi-cylindrical cap 24 which are interconnected by means of screws 25. It is the intention that a sight shall be mounted to the upper part 11 of the mount by clamping the sight at a cylindrical portion thereof between the bottom and the cap when screws 25 are being tightened. Bottom 23 forms a flat underside surface 26, and a through circular aperture 27 matching pin 17 extends between surface 26 and the semi-circular inside surface of bottom 23. At each of the opposite longitudinal (axial) edges of surface 26 bottom 23 forms a groove 28 and 29, respectively.
Each of grooves 18, 19 and 28, 29 in the base part 10 and the upper part 11, respectively, are formed as shown in
When a sight attached to the upper part 11 is to be mounted on a fire arm, the upper part 11 in a transverse position relative to the base part 10 as shown in
In order to remove the sight from the fire arm latch lever 21 must be depressed manually at finger grip 22 against the spring bias so that part 11 can be rotated counter-clockwise relative to part 10 about the axis of pin 17 in order to disengage the ribs and grooves from each other, part 11 in the transverse position shown in
The ribs engaging the grooves can be replaced by other suitable means preventing the upper part 11 from being lifted from the base part 10 in the operative position of the sight mount shown in
