Description
- This application is closely related to and claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/711,733 filed on Aug. 26, 2005.
- The present invention relates, in general, to recording devices used to record pre-selected events and, more particularly, the invention relates to a recording device that can be attached to a weapon used while hunting to record the hunt.
- Prior to the conception and development of the present invention, as is generally well known in the prior art, hunters have been seeking ways to record their hunting experiences.
- One such way is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,792,206 wherein a telescopic firearm scope/sight is fully integrated with a compact digital camera used to photograph a target proximate the instant at which the target is fired upon. The weapon is configured for photography and firing. The scope is simply placed on the firearm in the same manner as a conventional scope, and the firearm is then fired in a conventional manner. Photographs are recorded either in response to the sound of, or the recoil from, the firearm firing. An alternative embodiment eliminates the telescopic sight, but maintains all of the digital photography components and is particularly useful for smaller scale firearms such as pistols.
- Another way is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,679,158 wherein a powered aiming platform is provided for pointing devices such as firearms, illumination devices, or sensing instruments, remotely controlled by a hand-controller device, with video feedback of the aiming position and audio feedback of the exact direction and speed of positioning movements.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,556,245 discloses a video camera that can be mounted to a firearm or bow for recording game hunting. The camera has a quick release mount system that allows the video camera to slide on to and off of the weapon with ease. The camera has a liquid crystal display so the hunter can monitor what the camera is recording. A liquid crystal display housing member contains the liquid crystal display and acts as a lens cover when the camera is not recording. Moreover, when the liquid crystal display housing member is moved, from covering the lens, the camera starts recording automatically. The video camera also has seals that protect the camera's components from weather and other conditions likely to be encountered while game hunting.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,539,661 teaches an optical imaging device comprising an electro-optical recording device, such as a digital still camera, videotape recorder, etc., physically and optically connected to the scope sight of a firearm. The scope may be provided with a half silvered mirror at the eyepiece, which reflects a portion of the image passing through the scope to the axially offset recording device. The user of the firearm and optical system may thus continue to view the image through the scope. Other embodiments provide a small, lightweight micro camera fitted to the scope eyepiece, with the camera receiving the image from the eyepiece and providing that image to the user through a rearward viewing screen. A switch may be provided to operate the system upon trigger actuation, or independently of the firearm trigger. The system is particularly valuable in sighting in a weapon, or harmlessly capturing an image of an animal.
- Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,355 discloses a gun mounted video camera. The video camera is connected to the gun for accepting video images of a target of the gun.
- However, none of the above noted prior art devices disclose a recording device mounted on various types of weapons used for hunting according to the present invention described in greater detail below.
- The present invention provides an apparatus that attaches to a predetermined weapon for recording a pre-selected event. The apparatus includes a housing member having a predetermined size and a predetermined shape. A means is disposed in the housing member for recording such pre-selected event. A power source is disposed in the housing member and connected to the recording means for providing power thereto. An attachment device is used to secure the housing member to such predetermined weapon.
- It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide a recording device attachable to a weapon used to hunt that can record various images during the hunt.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device that can be secured to many different types of weapons.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device attachable to a hunting weapon that is lightweight.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device attachable to a hunting weapon that will not affect the hunter's ability to aim and fire the weapon.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a recording device attachable to a hunting weapon that is capable of downloading its recorded images of the hunt onto a computer.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide a recording device attachable to a hunting weapon wherein the recording device is protected from shock or recoil when the weapon is fired.
- In addition to the above described objects and advantages of the present invention, various additional objects and advantages of the recording device attachable to a weapon according to the instant invention will become more readily apparent to those persons skilled in the relevant art from the following more detailed description, particularly, when such description is taken in conjunction with the attached drawing figures and with the appended claims.
