A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11994363B2) discloses a firearm comprising a frame with grooves forming a receiving socket for a laser module. The laser module includes an annular ridge with non-parallel contact faces surrounded by a resilient member enabling angular movement relative to the frame. Alignment pins and a biasing component are also included to ensure proper positioning and stability of the laser module. The resilient member resists axial and longitudinal movement, with an interference fit between the grooves and the resilient member. The patent also details specific angles and measurements for optimal functionality, including the use of elastomeric material with a durometer measurement of at least 69.

Additionally, the patent extends to a device with a housing, laser module, and resilient member for emitting light through an opening. An alignment device with alignment pins and a biasing device is included to facilitate movement and stability of the laser module within the housing. The resilient member resists longitudinal deviation and engages with the annular ridge of the laser module to ensure proper alignment. The device also includes features such as an arm and switch for operational control, further enhancing its functionality. Specific measurements and configurations are detailed to ensure the effectiveness of the device in coupling with a firearm frame and maintaining alignment during use.
