TODAY’S PATENT – SUB-BASE FOR TOP MOUNTED GUNSIGHT

The Sub-base for Top Mounted Gunsight was invented by David A. Klotz (Syracuse, NY) on the 18^th of October, 1994, bearing patent number US5355607A.

The principal object of the present invention is to permit the mounting of a telescopic sight on a gun in the most advantageous position, namely, on the top surface of the receiver. Another object of the present invention is to provide a gun with a top-mounted telescopic sight that can withstand the repeated shocks of recoil without shifting out of alignment. The present invention is to mount a telescopic sight on a gun so that the sight and the gun will in general never move relative to each other, thereby keeping the sight always substantially in calibration relative to the gun’s bore. A further object of the present invention is to mount a telescopic sight on a gun so that it can be removed and reinstalled without changing the sight’s calibration.
