US12674646 - Sighting systems, components, and methods

Sight systems comprise a sight receiver and a base attachable to and detachable from a sight receiver. A base carries a sighting component, such as an iron sight or optic sight. A sighting component may be attachably and detachably mounted to a base, or a sighting component may be made integrally with a base. A base may carry plural sighting components. Sight systems may include plural interchangeable sight receivers, bases, and/or sighting components. In some embodiments, interfitting structures at least partially restrain or retain a base and a sight receiver in longitudinal and lateral alignment, with such structures being longitudinally oriented. In some embodiments, interfitting structures at least partially restrain or retain a base and a sighting component in longitudinal alignment and lateral alignment, with such structures being longitudinally oriented. Some embodiments provide a fastener operable with a compatible and/or complementary surface, together used to urge interfitting parts together tightly.

The patent describes a sighting system for projectile launching devices that includes a base with a top surface and a pedestal, allowing for the attachment of various sighting components through a set of tapered screws and tapped borings. This design facilitates the interchangeable mounting of sighting components while ensuring precise alignment and stability during use.

Claim 1

1 . A sight system for a projectile launching device comprising: a sight base; a top surface disposed on the sight base; a pedestal protruding above the top surface; a sighting component; a first set screw having a first tapered end; a second set screw having a second tapered end; a first tapped boring disposed in the sighting component and configured to receive the first set screw; a second tapped boring disposed in the sighting component and configured to receive the second set screw; a first tapered boring disposed in the pedestal and configured to at least partially accept the first tapered end; and a second tapered boring disposed in the pedestal and configured to at least partially accept the second tapered end. a sight base; a top surface disposed on the sight base; a pedestal protruding above the top surface; a sighting component; a first set screw having a first tapered end; a second set screw having a second tapered end; a first tapped boring disposed in the sighting component and configured to receive the first set screw; a second tapped boring disposed in the sighting component and configured to receive the second set screw; a first tapered boring disposed in the pedestal and configured to at least partially accept the first tapered end; and a second tapered boring disposed in the pedestal and configured to at least partially accept the second tapered end.
