US12782628 - Fiber optic illuminator

A fiber optic illuminator includes a light source and a fiber optic filament disposed around an exterior of the light source and positioned to receive light from the light source. A reflector is disposed around the light source and surrounds at least a portion of the fiber optic filament. An interior or exterior of the reflector is configured to reflect light emitted from the light source towards the fiber optic filament. A portion of the light from the light source and a portion of the reflected light are coupled into the fiber optic filament and exit an end of the fiber optic filament to form an alignment spot.

The patent describes a gun sight that utilizes a light source and a fiber optic filament to create an alignment spot for aiming. The fiber optic filament is designed with multiple loops that wrap around the light source, allowing it to capture and emit light effectively.

Claim 1

1 . A gun sight, comprising: a mount configured to attach the gun sight to a gun; a light source coupled to the mount; and a fiber optic filament disposed around an exterior of the light source and disposed to receive light from the light source, wherein at least a portion of the light from the light source is coupled into the fiber optic filament and exits an end of the fiber optic filament to form an alignment spot, and wherein the fiber optic filament forms a plurality of loops disposed to wrap around the exterior of the light source, an axis of each of the loops being oriented at an angle non-parallel to an axis of the light source. a mount configured to attach the gun sight to a gun; a light source coupled to the mount; and a fiber optic filament disposed around an exterior of the light source and disposed to receive light from the light source, wherein at least a portion of the light from the light source is coupled into the fiber optic filament and exits an end of the fiber optic filament to form an alignment spot, and wherein the fiber optic filament forms a plurality of loops disposed to wrap around the exterior of the light source, an axis of each of the loops being oriented at an angle non-parallel to an axis of the light source.
