Sight having flexible target adjust

Abstract

A target sight for a firearm includes a main body, an elongated, flexible emitter carrier having a first end fixed to the main body and having a movable portion at a second end opposite the first end, and a light emitter mounted to the movable portion of the flexible emitter carrier.

1 . An emitter adjustment system in a reflex targeting sight for a firearm, comprising:
 an elongated, flexible carrier having a fixed first end and having a movable portion at a second end opposite the first end;   a light emitter coupled to the movable portion of the flexible carrier and structured to emit light toward the fixed first end of the flexible carrier; and   a user controllable adjustment that allows a user to position the movable portion of the flexible carrier relative to a main body of the targeting sight.   
     
     
         2 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 1  in which the flexible carrier is biased against the user controller adjustment. 
     
     
         3 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 2  in which the flexible carrier includes at least one pre-bend. 
     
     
         4 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 3  in which a degree of bending in the pre-bend is related to the bias against the user control element. 
     
     
         5 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 3  in which the flexible carrier includes a first pre-bend in a first plane and a second pre-bend in a second plane different than the first plane. 
     
     
         6 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 5  in which the first plane is a horizontal plane relative to the main body of the targeting sight and in which the second plane is a vertical plane relative to the main body of the targeting sight. 
     
     
         7 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 2  in which the user controller adjustment is a windage adjustment or a elevation adjustment. 
     
     
         8 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 7  in which the user controller adjustment includes an adjustment screw, a bias spring, and a spring retainer. 
     
     
         9 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a reflecting surface in the targeting sight in which light emitter is aimed at the reflecting surface.   
     
     
         10 . The emitter adjustment system according to  claim 1 , in which the elongated flexible carrier extends at least 50% of a length of the main body of the targeting sight. 
     
     
         11 . A reflex target sight for a firearm, comprising:
 a main body;   an elongated carrier extending at least  50 % across a length of the main body, the elongated carrier having a fixed first end coupled in a fixed relationship to the main body and having a movable portion at a second end opposite the first end;   a light emitter coupled to the movable portion of the flexible carrier and structured to emit light toward the fixed first end of the flexible carrier; and   a user controllable adjustment that allows a user to position the movable portion of the flexible carrier relative to the main body of the targeting sight.   
     
     
         12 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 11  in which the flexible carrier is biased against the user controller adjustment. 
     
     
         13 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 12  in which the flexible carrier includes at least one pre-bend. 
     
     
         14 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 13  in which a degree of bending in the pre-bend is related to the bias against the user control element. 
     
     
         15 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 13  in which the flexible carrier includes a first pre-bend in a first plane and a second pre-bend in a second plane different than the first plane. 
     
     
         16 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 15  in which the first plane is a horizontal plane relative to the main body of the targeting sight and in which the second plane is a vertical plane relative to the main body of the targeting sight. 
     
     
         17 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 11  in which the user controller adjustment is a windage adjustment or a elevation adjustment. 
     
     
         18 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 17  in which the user controller adjustment includes an adjustment screw, a bias spring, and a spring retainer. 
     
     
         19 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a reflecting surface in the targeting sight in which light emitter is aimed at the reflecting surface.   
     
     
         20 . The reflex target sight according to  claim 11 , in which the elongated flexible carrier extends at least 50% of a length of the main body of the targeting sight.
