Projectile device equipment adaptor

Abstract

An adaptor adapted to be removably connected to a part selected from the group consisting of a scope, a Picatinny rail, a Weaver rail and a projectile device, the adaptor including a U-shaped housing comprising a mouth defined by two edges at a first end, a second end disposed at an opposing end from the first end, an inner engaging surface extending from each of the two edges towards the second end within a space defined by an opening of the U-shaped housing, each of the inner engaging surfaces is resilient with respect to the housing and includes at least one profile such that when coupled together, the inner engaging surfaces form a pair of engaging surfaces to secure the adaptor to the part.

1 . An adaptor adapted to be removably connected to a part, said adaptor comprising a U-shaped resilient housing comprising a mouth defined by two edges at a first end of said resilient housing, a second end disposed at an opposing end from said first end of said resilient housing, an inner resilient engaging surface extending from each of said two edges within said resilient housing towards said second end within a space defined by an opening of said resilient housing, each of said resilient engaging surfaces is configured to yield with respect to said resilient housing and each of said resilient engaging surfaces comprises brackets adapted to the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of a rail style selected from the group consisting of Picatinny and Weaver and when said mouth is urged towards the part, said mouth opens before closing to hug the part to secure the part within said brackets of said resilient engaging surfaces.

         4 . The adaptor of  claim 1 , wherein said pair of engaging surfaces comprises curved surfaces. 
     
     
         5 . The adaptor of  claim 4 , wherein said curved surfaces include a diameter of from about 25 mm to about 30 mm. 
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . The adaptor of  claim 1 , wherein said mouth tapered to facilitate engagement of said mouth and the part. 
     
     
         8 . The adaptor of  claim 1 , further comprising a visual indicator. 
     
     
         9 . An adaptor adapted for securing a first part to a second part, said adaptor comprising a U-shaped resilient housing comprising a mouth defined by two edges at a first end of said resilient housing, a second end disposed at an opposing end from said first end of said resilient housing, an inner resilient engaging surface extending from each of said two edges within said resilient housing towards said second end within a space defined by an opening of said resilient housing, each of said resilient engaging surfaces is configured to yield with respect to said resilient housing and each of said resilient engaging surfaces comprises brackets adapted to the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of a rail style selected from the group consisting of Picatinny and Weaver and when said mouth is urged towards the second part, said mouth opens before closing to hug the second part to secure the second part within said brackets of said resilient engaging surfaces and the first part is attached to said resilient housing. 
     
     
         10 . The adaptor of  claim 9 , wherein the first part is a laser beam emitter. 
     
     
         11 . The adaptor of  claim 10 , said beam emitter further comprises a ball and socket mechanism configured to be removably coupled to said resilient housing, a beam emitting device attached to said ball and socket mechanism, wherein the direction of a beam from said beam emitting device is adjustable. 
     
     
         12 . The adaptor of  claim 9 , wherein said pair of engaging surfaces comprises curved surfaces. 
     
     
         13 . The adaptor of  claim 12 , wherein said curved surfaces include a diameter of from about 25 mm to about 30 mm. 
     
     
         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . The adaptor of  claim 9 , wherein said mouth is tapered to facilitate engagement of said mouth and the second part. 
     
     
         16 . The adaptor of  claim 9 , further comprising a visual indicator. 
     
     
         17 . An adaptor adapted to be removably connected to a part, said adaptor comprising a U-shaped plate comprising two prongs forming a mouth at a first end of said plate and a resilient bridge connecting said two prongs at a second end of said plate, said resilient bridge configured to allow adjustment of the size of said mouth, each prong comprising an inner engaging surface having brackets adapted to the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of a rail style selected from the group consisting of Picatinny and Weaver and when said mouth is urged towards the part, said mouth opens before closing to hug the part to secure the part within said brackets of said inner engaging surfaces. 
     
     
         18 . The adaptor of  claim 17 , further comprising a laser beam emitter. 
     
     
         19 . The adaptor of  claim 17 , further comprising a visual indicator.
