Abstract

The invention relates to the design of an adjustable rear sight assembly which is developed for improving the low hit rate that is caused by user or external errors in the daily use of firearms ( 4 ) and/or professional marksmanship contests; which provides a more stable shooting for the user by producing the fixed rear sight piece used in aiming the firearm ( 4 ) with adjustable height and direction. The rear sight lever ( 1 ), sliding rear sight ( 3 ) and closure part ( 2 ) form the rear sight assembly by being mounted to each other. The adjustable rear sight assembly is also formed on the firearm ( 4 ) and can be connected to the mounting surface ( 12 ).

Claims (16)

1 . An adjustable rear sight assembly connected to the firearm in a detachable manner; which is formed by mounting the rear sight lever, sliding rear sight and closure part to each other; is developed for improving the low hit rate that is caused by user or external errors in the daily use of firearms and/or professional marksmanship contests; provides a more stable shooting for the user by producing the fixed rear sight piece used in aiming the firearm with adjustable height and direction, the adjustable rear sight assembly comprising:

at least one spring socket formed on the surface mounted to the weapon for positioning at least one height adjustment spring therein; connection member socket formed on the surface not mounted to the weapon for receiving the connection and adjustment element which can move the rear sight lever up and down with respect to the firearm surface with its movement; pin sockets aiming to receive at least one pin within, together with the pin sockets formed on the closure part and the rear sight lever equipped with at least sliding rear sight socket formed at the opposite end of the end in which the said pin sockets are formed;

sliding rear sight equipped with a mounting protrusion aiming to exit from its body and connect to the sliding rear sight socket, at least one mounting spring aiming to be placed within the sliding rear sight socket by connecting to the said mounting protrusion and the adjustment member which can change the direction of the sliding rear sight vertically to the shooting direction of the weapon relative to the rear sight lever by stretching and releasing the said mounting spring/springs within the sliding rear sight socket; and

the closure part, on the upper surface of which the rear sight lever surface is formed for the placement of the rear sight lever and pin sockets are formed for the placement of the said pins, and on the lower surface of which the adaptation gap aiming to connect to the mounting surface configured on the weapon is formed.

2 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:

the connection member socket formed on the rear sight lever is equipped with at least one ball socket; and

the said ball socket comprises at least one ball positioned in the way to be associated with the connection and adjustment element.

3 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 2 , wherein; the adjustment element is in screw form and the surface of the screw cap facing the connection member socket and the ball are in direct contact.

4 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 3 , wherein sound and vibration can be formed with the surface and the ball being in contact in the cases where the user rotates the connection and adjustment element and since the protrusion/protrusions and recess/recesses are formed on the surface of the screw cap facing to the connection member socket.

5 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the whole surface of the screw cap facing the connection member socket is equipped with protrusions and recesses that are formed successively.

6 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:

the firearm equipped with the mounting surface which is designed as a protrusion at the middle part and gaps at two sides of this protrusion; and

the adaptation gap whose mounting surface aims to be seated on the protrusion in the middle part, and the closure part whose walls aim to be seated on the two gaps formed at the sides of the protrusion.

7 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising the mounting surface equipped with connection member sockets aiming to be locked by means of a mounting member by overlapping with the connection member sockets formed on the closure part.

8 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising the mounting member which has a screw form and can be fixed by a sleeve.

9 . An adjustable rear sight assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding rear sight associated with 2 mounting springs, one of which is long and the other short, aiming to be placed inside each other, with the mounting protrusion formed thereon.
