Gaseous illuminated pin sight

Abstract

A gaseous illuminated pin sight, including a mounting bracket, at least one sight pin securing to the mounting bracket, each sight pin having an inclined or straight urface to provide clearance between adjacent sight pins, each sight pin capable of being secured to the mounting bracket at its base end when adjusted, the opposite and outer end of each sight pin incorporating a capsule of illuminating gas, and the capsule of illuminating gas being secured or embedded to either the straight or inclined outer end of each sight pin.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secure by letters patent is:  
     
         1 . A gaseous illuminated pin sight for use with an archery bow or other instrument, the pin sight including a mounting bracket, at least one sight pin for securement to the mounting bracket, and extending laterally therefrom, the sight pin having a base portion at one end for securing to the mounting bracket, a capsule of illuminating gas securing with the opposite end of the sight pin, whereby upon sighting of the archery bow the sportsman observes and focuses a point of light emanating from the capsule of gas on the intended target.  
     
     
         2 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 1 , wherein the tip end of the sight pin is straight, and the capsule of illuminating gas is secured to the surface of said pin sight end.  
     
     
         3 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 1 , wherein the outer end of the sight pin is disposed upon an incline, sloping towards the sportsman employing the archery bow, and wherein said capsule of illuminating gas is secured to the sloping end of the said pin sight.  
     
     
         4 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 2 , wherein the capsule of illuminating gas is at least partially embedded within the outer surface of the pin sight.  
     
     
         5 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 3 , wherein the capsule of illuminating gas is at least partially embedded within the inclined surface at the outer end of the pin sight.  
     
     
         6 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 2  wherein the illuminating gas is tritium.  
     
     
         7 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 3  wherein the illuminating gas is tritium.  
     
     
         8 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 1  wherein the mounting bracket includes an elongated slot, said bracket including a shoulder formed adjacent the elongated slot, and wherein the base portion of each sight pin secures against the shoulder when adjusted and fastened to the mounting bracket.  
     
     
         9 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 8  wherein each sight pin at its base portion and includes a threaded aperture, a mounting screw provided for engaging within the pin sight threaded aperture and for tightly securing the pin sight to the mounting bracket upon its adjustment.  
     
     
         10 . The gaseous illuminated pin sight of  claim 1  wherein each pin sight includes at least one inclined surface along its length to provide clearance between adjacent pin sights when a pair or more of such pin sights are connected to a mounting bracket.
