Gun sight
Abstract
Abstract A gun sight for a weapon such as a hand gun, rifle, shotgun, submachine gun, crossbow or the like. The sight is a unitary member in the case of a gun mounted on the top of the barrel thereof and having a top surface which is the form of either an elongated ellipse in one embodiment or an isosceles trapezoid in the case of another embodiment. The base portion of the sight is attached to the weapon, the top surface forming a ramp which rises linearly from its rear end towards the muzzle end thereof. The raise of the ramp is equal to the minor axis of the ellipse in the case of the elliptical embodiment and to that of the longer of the two short sides of the trapezoid in the case of the trapezoidal embodiment. The top surface of the sight is made of a color to contrast with the intended target or may be made of a luminescent material or an internally illuminated translucent material so that it is clearly visible in dim light.
