Firearm sight with adjustable mirror

Abstract

A firearm sight system with an adjustable mirror is provided that solves the above-described problems. The system includes a rail mount coupled to a top surface of a firearm, the rail mount configured for coupling with multiple firearm accessories; a sight coupled to a top surface of the rail mount, such that the sight is configured for aiming the firearm; a base coupled to a top surface of the rail mount, such that the base is situated behind the sight; an arm hingeably coupled with the base and swivelly coupled to the base; and a mirror coupled to the arm, such that the mirror is situated behind the sight, wherein the mirror is configured to be rotated about the hinge and about the swivel to reflect the image provided by the sight to the user, at any position of the user in relation to the firearm.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A firearm sight system with an adjustable mirror, the system comprising:
 a rail mount coupled to a top surface of a firearm, the rail mount configured for coupling with multiple firearm accessories;   a sight coupled to a top surface of the rail mount, such that the sight is configured for aiming the firearm;   a base coupled to a top surface of the rail mount, such that the base is situated behind the sight;   an arm hingeably coupled with the base via a hinge, such that the arm may rotate about hinge, and wherein the arm is also swivelly coupled to the base via a swivel, such that the arm may also rotate about the arm's longitudinal axis; and   a mirror coupled to the arm, such that the mirror is situated behind the sight, wherein the mirror is configured to be rotated about the hinge and about the swivel to reflect the image provided by the sight to the user, at any position of the user in relation to the firearm.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mirror is circular in shape. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the mirror is configured to be rotated about the hinge so as to retract the mirror and refrain from obstructing the image provided by the sight directly to the user. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the mirror is convex shaped. 
     
     
         5 . A firearm sight system with an adjustable mirror, the system comprising:
 a rail mount coupled to a top surface of a firearm, the rail mount configured for coupling with multiple firearm accessories;   a reflector sight coupled to a top surface of the rail mount, such that the reflector sight is configured for aiming the firearm;   a circular shaped and convex mirror coupled to the top surface of the rail mount, such that the mirror is situated behind the reflector sight, wherein the mirror is configured to reflect an image provided by the reflector sight to a user of the firearm; and   a two-degree of freedom hinge that couples the mirror to the rail mount, wherein the hinge allows for rotation of the mirror about a vertical axis and about a horizontal axis, and wherein the mirror is configured to be rotated about the hinge to reflect the image provided by the reflector sight to the user, at any position of the user in relation to the firearm.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the mirror is configured to be rotated about the hinge so as to retract the mirror and refrain from obstructing the image provided by the reflector sight directly to the user. 
     
     
         7 . A firearm sight system with an adjustable mirror, the system comprising:
 a rail mount coupled to a top surface of a firearm, the rail mount configured for coupling with multiple firearm accessories;   a sight coupled to a top surface of the rail mount, such that the sight is configured for aiming the firearm;   a base coupled to a top surface of the rail mount, such that the base is situated behind the sight;   a platform hingeably coupled to the base via a hinge, such that the platform is configured to rotate about the hinge, and wherein the platform is also swivelly coupled to the base via a swivel, such that the platform may also rotate about the platform's longitudinal axis;   a lever for facilitating rotation of the platform about the hinge, such that when activated, the platform is free to rotate about the hinge; and   a mirror coupled to the platform, such that the mirror is situated behind the sight, wherein the mirror is configured to be rotated about the hinge and about the swivel to reflect the image provided by the sight to the user, at any position of the user in relation to the firearm.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the mirror is configured to be rotated about the hinge and to be rotated about the swivel so as to retract the mirror and refrain from obstructing the image provided by the sight directly to the user.
