US12680784 - Sight apparatus for a device

The patent describes a sight apparatus for firearms that includes a body with a base and an upwardly extending sight portion, featuring an optical element and a lighting device for illuminating a target area. Additionally, the apparatus incorporates sensors and a processing device to analyze environmental conditions and adjust the lighting characteristics accordingly.

Claim 1

1 . A sight apparatus for a device, the sight apparatus comprising: a body comprising a base portion and a sight portion, wherein the sight portion upwardly extends from the base portion, wherein the sight portion comprises a viewing end and a target end, wherein the viewing end opposes the target end, wherein the sight portion defines an opening between the viewing end and the target end, wherein the base portion is configured for mounting the sight apparatus to at least one device; at least one optical element comprised in the opening and supported by at least one of the sight portion and the base portion, wherein the at least one optical element allows a user to view a target area from the viewing end of the sight portion; at least one lighting device comprised in the target end of the sight portion around the opening, wherein the at least one lighting device is configured for emitting light with at least one characteristic for illuminating the target area; at least one power source comprised in the body, wherein the at least one power source is electrically coupled with the at least one lighting device, wherein the at least one power source is configured for powering the at least one lighting device, wherein the emitting of the light is based on the powering; wherein the sight portion comprises a first vertical support extending from a first side of the base portion, a second vertical support extending from a second side of the base portion, a horizontal support extending from a first top end of the first vertical support to a second top end of the second vertical support, wherein the first side opposes the second side, wherein the first vertical support, the second vertical support, and the horizontal support extend in at least a part around the at least one optical element for supporting the at least one optical element; wherein the at least one lighting device is further comprised in the horizontal support of the sight portion; at least one first sensor configured for detecting at least one environmental condition of an environment associated with the sight apparatus; a processing device communicatively coupled with the at least one first sensor, wherein the processing device is configured for: generating at least one environmental data based on the detecting of the at least one environmental condition; analyzing the at least one environmental data; determining at least one required characteristic of the light required to be emitted by the at least one lighting device; and generating at least one command based on the determining of the at least one required characteristic of the light. a body comprising a base portion and a sight portion, wherein the sight portion upwardly extends from the base portion, wherein the sight portion comprises a viewing end and a target end, wherein the viewing end opposes the target end, wherein the sight portion defines an opening between the viewing end and the target end, wherein the base portion is configured for mounting the sight apparatus to at least one device; at least one optical element comprised in the opening and supported by at least one of the sight portion and the base portion, wherein the at least one optical element allows a user to view a target area from the viewing end of the sight portion; at least one lighting device comprised in the target end of the sight portion around the opening, wherein the at least one lighting device is configured for emitting light with at least one characteristic for illuminating the target area; at least one power source comprised in the body, wherein the at least one power source is electrically coupled with the at least one lighting device, wherein the at least one power source is configured for powering the at least one lighting device, wherein the emitting of the light is based on the powering; wherein the sight portion comprises a first vertical support extending from a first side of the base portion, a second vertical support extending from a second side of the base portion, a horizontal support extending from a first top end of the first vertical support to a second top end of the second vertical support, wherein the first side opposes the second side, wherein the first vertical support, the second vertical support, and the horizontal support extend in at least a part around the at least one optical element for supporting the at least one optical element; wherein the at least one lighting device is further comprised in the horizontal support of the sight portion; at least one first sensor configured for detecting at least one environmental condition of an environment associated with the sight apparatus; a processing device communicatively coupled with the at least one first sensor, wherein the processing device is configured for: generating at least one environmental data based on the detecting of the at least one environmental condition; analyzing the at least one environmental data; determining at least one required characteristic of the light required to be emitted by the at least one lighting device; and generating at least one command based on the determining of the at least one required characteristic of the light. generating at least one environmental data based on the detecting of the at least one environmental condition; analyzing the at least one environmental data; determining at least one required characteristic of the light required to be emitted by the at least one lighting device; and generating at least one command based on the determining of the at least one required characteristic of the light.
