US12332010 - Weapon slide cover

The patent describes a slide cover for firearms that features multiple cavities and tapered surfaces to facilitate the attachment of a sight component while ensuring alignment with the gun’s slide. This design includes grip portions that enhance usability and stability when mounted on the firearm.

Claim 1

1. A slide cover that is removably couplable with a slide of a gun, the slide cover comprising: a top surface having a pair of opposing longitudinal edges, a first longitudinal axis defined therethrough, and a first cavity defined therein, wherein a sight component is couplable to the top surface by positioning a first retainer that extends at least partially through the sight component within the first cavity, and wherein when the sight component is coupled to the top surface, a second longitudinal axis defined through the sight component is parallel to the first longitudinal axis; a first tapered surface that joins the top surface along a first one of the opposing longitudinal edges and that has a second cavity defined therein; a second tapered surface that joins the top surface along a second one of the opposing longitudinal edges and that has a third cavity defined therein; wherein the second and third cavities are similarly sized and positioned along the first and second tapered surfaces, such that the slide cover can be coupled to the gun by positioning a second retainer through the second cavity, the slide, and the third cavity; a first grip portion that is encompassed within the first tapered surface and that is recessed toward the first longitudinal axis as compared to a region of the first tapered surface that is excluded from the first grip portion; and a second grip portion that is encompassed within the second tapered surface that is recessed toward the first longitudinal axis as compared to a region of the second tapered surface that is excluded from the second grip portion. a top surface having a pair of opposing longitudinal edges, a first longitudinal axis defined therethrough, and a first cavity defined therein, wherein a sight component is couplable to the top surface by positioning a first retainer that extends at least partially through the sight component within the first cavity, and wherein when the sight component is coupled to the top surface, a second longitudinal axis defined through the sight component is parallel to the first longitudinal axis; wherein a sight component is couplable to the top surface by positioning a first retainer that extends at least partially through the sight component within the first cavity, and wherein when the sight component is coupled to the top surface, a second longitudinal axis defined through the sight component is parallel to the first longitudinal axis; a first tapered surface that joins the top surface along a first one of the opposing longitudinal edges and that has a second cavity defined therein; a second tapered surface that joins the top surface along a second one of the opposing longitudinal edges and that has a third cavity defined therein; wherein the second and third cavities are similarly sized and positioned along the first and second tapered surfaces, such that the slide cover can be coupled to the gun by positioning a second retainer through the second cavity, the slide, and the third cavity; a first grip portion that is encompassed within the first tapered surface and that is recessed toward the first longitudinal axis as compared to a region of the first tapered surface that is excluded from the first grip portion; and a second grip portion that is encompassed within the second tapered surface that is recessed toward the first longitudinal axis as compared to a region of the second tapered surface that is excluded from the second grip portion.
