Modular Housing for Sights

Abstract

The present invention relates to a modular housing for firearm sights, which is adaptable to various types of sights, in particular for optical or mechanical sights, including fastening elements, holes, projections and optionally an adapter plate, which allow the weapon to become lighter and more portable, in addition to allowing the adjustment and maintenance of the alignment of the sight even when it is necessary to remove and replace it.

1 . A modular housing for firearm sights, comprising a recess and screws, the modular housing comprising holes, projections and pins, wherein said holes and projections allow the coupling of said sight in said recess, so that said pins are inserted into holes of said recess and of said sight, allowing the adjustment and maintenance of alignment of said sight in relation to the bolt of the firearm. 
     
     
         2 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein said pins have a length greater than the depth of their holes of the recess, so as to allow a portion of said pins to project out of said holes. 
     
     
         3 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein said housing is adaptable both for sights that have bases having the respective holes, where said pins can be coupled, and for sights that have bases without the respective holes, wherein said pins can be removed. 
     
     
         4 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein said screws and said pins can have a constant or variable diameter or width throughout their length. 
     
     
         5 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein, preferably, said pins are inserted into holes located in the rearmost portion of the recess, or behind said recess, while said screws are inserted into holes located in front of said holes for the pins. 
     
     
         6 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein said pins allow the adjustment and maintenance of alignment of said sight both in relation to the horizontal plane and in relation to the vertical plane, even if said sight is momentarily removed from the firearm. 
     
     
         7 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein said recess is provided with at least two holes, preferably four or more holes, depending on each type of sight to be attached. 
     
     
         8 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein said projections are arranged in the frontmost portion of said recess and are fitted into said front holes of the sight, serving as support points for said attachment of the sight. 
     
     
         9 . A modular housing for sights, according to  claim 1 , wherein said housing allows the adaptation of an adapter plate for coupling said sight.
