Abstract

A handle sight for a firearm includes a mounting base and a carrying handle. The mounting base has an elongated shape and defining a first end portion and an opposed second end portion, wherein the mounting base is adapted for detachably mounting on the firearm in a reversible orientation to locate the first end portion of the mounting base one of a forward direction and a rearward direction of the firearm. The carrying handle is upwardly extended from the first end portion of the mounting base at a top side thereof, wherein the carrying handle has a hollow structure to define a sight channel for parallelly align with a barrel axis of the firearm so as to enable an operator to aim at a front iron sight of the firearm through the sight channel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A handle sight for a firearm having a front iron sight, comprising:
a mounting base forming in an elongated shape and having a first end portion and an opposed second end portion, wherein each of said first and second end portions of said mounting base are adapted for detachably mounting on said firearm in both a forward direction and a rearward direction;
a carrying handle which comprises a top platform upwardly supported above a top side of said first end portion of said mounting base to form a sight channel between a bottom side of said top platform and a top side of said mounting base, wherein said sight channel, having a first sight opening and an opposed second sight opening, is an elongated through channel for parallelly aligning with a barrel axis of the firearm so as to enable an operator to aim the front iron sight of the firearm through said sight channel, wherein said carrying handle further has an elongated indented laser channel formed on a top side of said top platform, wherein said mounting base further comprises an attachment platform formed at said top side of said mounting base at said second end portion thereof;
a sight module detachably coupled at said attachment platform of said mounting base for generating a laser beam, wherein when said mounting base is mounted in the forward direction, said sight module is mounted on said attachment platform behind said carrying handle, such that the laser beam of said sight module alignedly passes through said laser channel of said carrying handle, wherein when said mounting base is mounted in the rearward direction, said sight module is mounted on said attachment platform in front of said carrying handle; and
a foldable iron sight, having an aperture sight, upwardly extended from said top side of said mounting base at a position below said top platform, wherein when said sight module is detached from said attachment platform, said foldable iron sight is configured to be folded upwardly from said top side of said mounting base for aligning with the front iron sight of the firearm through said sight channel and is further configured to be downwardly folded flat on said top side of said mounting base.

2. The handle sight, as recited in claim 1 , wherein said mounting base has an indented cavity formed on said top side of said mounting base and extended to a first end thereof, wherein said foldable iron sight is pivotally coupled at said mounting base within said sight channel and is folded flat in said indented cavity to align with said top side of said mounting base.

3. The handle sight, as recited in claim 2 , wherein said carrying handle further comprises two first leg frames spacedly extended from said top platform to said top side of said mounting base to define said first sight opening of said sight channel between said first leg frames, and two second leg frames spacedly extended from said top platform to said top side of said mounting base to define said second sight opening of said sight channel between said second leg frames, wherein said second leg frames are inclinedly extended between said top platform and said mounting base to enlarge an area of said second sight opening of said sight channel.

4. The handle sight, as recited in claim 3 , wherein said foldable iron sight is foldably coupled at said second sight opening of said sight channel.

5. The handle sight, as recited in claim 4 , wherein a longitudinal length of said top platform is shorter than a longitudinal length of said first end portion of said mounting base.

6. The handle sight, as recited in claim 5 , wherein said first leg frames are vertically extended from said top side of said mounting base to said top platform to define a vertical flat surface to maximize a mounting area of said attachment platform for supporting the sight module thereon.

7. The handle sight, as recited in claim 5 , wherein said carrying handle further has an accessing window formed between said first and second leg frames to communicate with said sight channel for allowing the operator to grip at said top platform through said accessing window so as to carry the firearm via said carrying handle.

8. The handle sight, as recited in claim 7 , wherein said first leg frames are vertically extended from said top side of said mounting base to said top platform to define a vertical flat surface to maximize a mounting area of said attachment platform for supporting the sight module thereon.

9. The handle sight, as recited in claim 3 , wherein said laser channel is indentedly formed on said top side of said top platform for enabling the laser beam to alignedly pass along said laser channel, wherein said sight module comprises a reflex optic integrated with a laser generator and said sight module generates the laser beam to alignedly pass through said laser channel and generates a reflex optic dot reticle to be viewed through said sight channel.

10. The handle sight, as recited in claim 3 , wherein said mounting base further comprises two locking levers spacedly formed at a bottom side of said mounting base for detachably coupling said mounting base on the firearm in a reversible orientation while said sight channel is remained at a position for parallelly aligning with the barrel axis of the firearm and for aligning with the front iron sight of the firearm through said sight channel.

11. The handle sight, as recited in claim 1 , wherein said carrying handle further comprises two first leg frames spacedly extended from said top platform to said top side of said mounting base to define said first sight opening of said sight channel between said first leg frames, and two second leg frames spacedly extended from said top platform to said top side of said mounting base to define said second sight opening of said sight channel between said second leg frames, wherein said second leg frames are inclinedly extended between said top platform and said mounting base to enlarge an area of said second sight opening of said sight channel.

12. The handle sight, as recited in claim 11 , wherein said foldable iron sight is foldably coupled at said second sight opening of said sight channel.

13. The handle sight, as recited in claim 11 , wherein a longitudinal length of said top platform is shorter than a longitudinal length of said first end portion of said mounting base.

14. The handle sight, as recited in claim 13 , wherein said first leg frames are vertically extended from said top side of said mounting base to said top platform to define a vertical flat surface to maximize a mounting area of said attachment platform for supporting the sight module thereon.

15. The handle sight, as recited in claim 13 , wherein said laser channel is indentedly formed on said top side of said top platform for enabling the laser beam to alignedly pass along said laser channel, wherein said sight module comprises a reflex optic integrated with a laser generator and said sight module generates the laser beam to alignedly pass through said laser channel and generates a reflex optic dot reticle to be viewed through said sight channel.

16. The handle sight, as recited in claim 15 , wherein said mounting base further comprises two locking levers spacedly formed at a bottom side of said mounting base for detachably coupling said mounting base on the firearm in a reversible orientation while said sight channel is remained at a position for parallelly aligning with the barrel axis of the firearm and for aligning with the front iron sight of the firearm through said sight channel.

17. The handle sight, as recited in clai
