Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A remote switch device can be attached to a mounting interface for firearm accessories, such as a Picatinny rail interface, and used to operate power-consuming firearm accessories (e.g., an illumination device, a laser aiming module, etc.) connected thereto by a suitably configured flexible cable, or wireless transceiver. An example remote switch device comprises: a housing configured to engage with a mounting interface for firearm accessories; a first switch configured to operate at least one connected power-consuming firearm accessory, the first switch includes a force sensing resistor; and a cable or wireless transceiver configured to connect the first switch to at least one power-consuming firearm accessory. The first switch is positioned substantially parallel to the mounting interface for firearm accessories while the housing is secured thereto.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A remote switch device configured for use with conductively connected power-consuming firearm accessories, the remote switch device comprising: a housing configured to engage with a mounting interface for firearm accessories; a first switch configured to operate conductively connected power-consuming firearm accessories, the first switch includes a force sensing resistor; and at least a first cable having a connector, the first cable is configured to conductively connect the first switch to the connector, the connector is adapted for being conductively connected to a complementary connecter of a power-consuming firearm accessory; wherein the first switch is positioned substantially parallel to the mounting interface for firearm accessories while the housing is secured thereto. 2. The remote switch device of claim 1 , further comprising: a second switch configured to operate conductively connected power-consuming firearm accessories, the second switch includes a force sensing resistor; and a second cable having a connector, the second cable is configured to conductively connect the second switch to the connector of the second cable, the connector of the second cable is adapted for being conductively connected to a complementary connecter of a power-consuming firearm accessory. 3. A remote switch device configured for use with wirelessly connected power-consuming firearm accessories, the remote switch device comprising: a housing configured to engage with a mounting interface for firearm accessories; a first switch configured to operate at least one wirelessly connected power-consuming firearm accessory, the first switch includes a force sensing resistor; and a wireless transceiver configured to operably connect the first switch to at least one wirelessly connected power-consuming firearm accessory; wherein the first switch is positioned substantially parallel to the mounting interface for firearm accessories while the housing is secured thereto. 4. The remote switch device of claim 3 , further comprising a second switch configured to operate at least one wirelessly connected power-consuming firearm accessory, the second switch includes a force sensing resistor; wherein the wireless transceiver is also configured to operably connect the second switch to at least one wirelessly connected power-consuming firearm accessory.
