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, 2nd and 3rd mirrors with pivots,

resulting beam is perpendicular to housing axis

• Magnetic damping system is used to stabilized orientation from hand tremors
