Shot Gun Sighting Device (Patent No: 660234)

Inventor: Callihoe, Herbert A.

Location: Calgary

Comments: N/A

Description:

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:

(1) A device to assist in the sighting of shotguns and the like and adapted to be secured to the shot gun barrel; comprising in combination a planar transparent panel, flying speed and direction of flight indicia on said panel, and means co-operating between said panel and the associated barrel to detachably secure said panel to said barrel in the desired position thereon, said flying speed indicia being substantially elliptical, said direction of flight indicia diverging outwardly from a common locus in the form of radially extending lines.

(2) The device according to Claim I in which said means includes a substantially centrally located aperture formed through said panel, a resilient sleeve slidable over said associated gun barrel, and an annular groove formed around the outside of said sleeve, the edges of said aperture fitting into said groove.

(3) The device according to Claim 1 in which said planar panel is cut away on the lower side thereof, thus forming a pair of spaced edges converging substantially towards the center of said panel and terminating in a partial aperture, a resilient sleeve slidable over the associated gun barrel, and an annular groove around the outside of said sleeve, the edges of said partial aperture fitting into said groove.

(4) The device according to Claim 2 in which said planar panel is cut away on the lower side thereof, thus forming a pair of spaced edges converging substantially towards the center of said panel and terminating in a partial aperture, a resilient sleeve slidable over the associated gun barrel, and an annular groove around the outside of said sleeve, the edges of said partial aperture fitting into said groove.

(5) The device according to Claim 1 in which said planar panel is cut away on the lower side thereof, thus forming a pair of spaced edges converging substantially towards the center of said panel and terminating in a partial aperture, a resilient sleeve slidable over the associated gun barrel, and an annular groove around the outside of said sleeve, the edges of said partial aperture fitting into said groove, and resilient detachable means spanning the junction of said side edges with said aperture and adapted to retain said panel on said sleeve.

(6) The device according to Claim 4 which includes resilient detachable means spanning the junction of said side edges with said aperture and adapted to retain said panel on said sleeve.

(7) The device according to Claim 1 in which said panel is attached to said barrel at an angle inclined from the longitudinal axis of said barrel whereby the upper portion of said panel above said barrel inclines away from the muzzle end of said barrel and the lower portion of said panel below said barrel, inclines towards the muzzle end of said barrel.

(8) The device according to Claim 2 in which said panel is attached to said barrel at an angle inclined from the longitudinal axis of said barrel whereby the upper portion of said panel above said barrel inclines away from the muzzle end of said barrel and the lower portion of said panel below said barrel, inclines towards the muzzle end of said barrel.

(9) The device according to Claim 3 in which said panel is attached to said barrel at an angle inclined from the longitudinal axis of said barrel whereby the upper portion of said panel above said barrel inclines away from the muzzle end of said barrel and the lower portion of said panel below said barrel, inclines towards the muzzle end of said barrel.


(10) The device according to Claim 4 in which said panel is attached to said barrel at an angle inclined from the longitudinal axis of said barrel whereby the upper portion of said panel above said barrel inclines away from the muzzle end of said barrel and the lower portion of said panel below said barrel, inclines towards the muzzle end of said barrel.


(11) The device according to Claim 5 in which said panel is attached to said barrel at an angle inclined from the longitudinal axis of said barrel whereby the upper portion of said panel above said barrel inclines away from the muzzle end of said barrel and the lower portion of said panel below said barrel, inclines towards the muzzle end of said barrel.


(12) The device according to Claim 6 in which said panel is attached to said barrel at an angle inclined from the longitudinal axis of said barrel whereby the upper portion of said panel above said barrel inclines away from the muzzle end of said barrel and the lower portion of said panel below said barrel, inclines towards the muzzle end of said barrel.
