Abstract:
1. A laser sighting device, comprising: a laser sight body having a barrel aperture formed through said laser sight body, wherein said barrel aperture is parallel to a longitudinal axis of said laser sight body; two or more laser emitter apertures formed in said laser sight body, wherein each laser emitter aperture extends from a threaded portion to a shoulder to a bottom wall, and wherein each laser emitter aperture includes a spring biasing means positioned so as to contact said bottom wall; a laser light aperture extending from said bottom wall of each laser emitter aperture through said laser sight body, wherein each laser emitter aperture and each laser light aperture has a longitudinal axis that is parallel to said longitudinal axis of said laser sight body; two or more laser emitters, wherein each laser emitter includes a laser emitter rim and a laser emitter body, wherein each laser emitter is constructed such that an exterior surface of said laser emitter rim is electrically isolated from an exterior surface of said laser emitter body such that when said exterior surface of said laser emitter rim is electrically connected to said exterior surface of said laser emitter body, said laser emitter is activated and a laser light beam is projected from said laser emitter; wherein a laser emitter is fitted within each laser emitter aperture such that said exterior surface of said laser emitter body contacts a side wall of said laser emitter aperture, and wherein a forward surface of said laser emitter body contacts said spring biasing means at said bottom wall of said laser emitter aperture and said laser emitter is spring biased, via said spring biasing means, such that said laser emitter rim does not make contact with said shoulder of said laser emitter aperture; a cap associated with each laser emitter aperture, wherein each cap extends from a top portion to a threaded portion to an end surface, and wherein each cap is formed such that said threaded portion of said cap can be threaded into said threaded portion of said laser emitter aperture; wherein when a cap is a threadedly connected, via interaction of said threaded portion of said cap and said threaded portion of said laser emitter aperture, said end surface of said cap makes contact with a rear surface of said laser emitter, such that when sufficient tightening, rotational torque is applied to said cap said spring bias of said spring biasing means is overcome sufficient to allow said laser emitter be urged within said laser emitter aperture such that said exterior surface of said laser emitter rim makes contact with said shoulder of said laser emitter aperture, thereby completing an electrical path between said exterior surface of said laser emitter rim and said exterior surface of said laser emitter body such that said laser emitter produces a laser light beam that is projected through said laser light aperture.
