Stabilized Mirror System for a Handheld Laser Pointer

Stabilized Mirror System for a Hand-held Laser Pointer PATENT NO: 7, 553, 048 PRESENTED BY: TESS JACOBS

BACKGROUND • Filed: June 29, 2007 • Issued: June 30, 2009 • Inventors: Jeffrey Dale Wilson, Daniel Steven Sanchez • Purpose: Stabilized laser beam to counteract hand tremors • Three mirrors with a spring and a magnetic counter-weight • Counteract hand tremors associated with “physical weakness, emotional stress, excitement” • Expose nervousness -> discredited user

EXAMPLES OF PRIOR ART • Laser pointers… • No stabilizing system • No system patented that is compact, hand-held, wherein the stability of the laser dot position is unaffected by hand tremors

FIGURES • 32 - Power Supply access • 12 - external housing • 59 - On/Off Switch

FIGURES • 93 - Non-magnetic shaft • 91&92 - Non-magnetic disks • 45 - Mirror (reflects towards 46) • 46 - Mirror (reflects towards 47) • 47 - Mirror (reflects light out of system)

FIGURES • 80 - magnet • 82 & 84 - ferromagnetic pin (spring) • 45 & 46 - Mirrors • 90 - Magnetic rings • 91 & 92 - non-magnetic damping disks

NOVEL AND INVENTIVE ELEMENTS • 2 Claims: • 3 mirrors, 2 nd and 3 rd mirrors with pivots, resulting beam is perpendicular to housing axis • Magnetic damping system is used to stabilized orientation from hand tremors
