1. A sight mount for fire arms such as fire arms and rifles comprising a base part to be mounted on a fire arm, an upper part to have a sight mounted thereon, and means for releasably locking the base part and the upper part together with the sight fixed in the intended operative position on the fire arm, wherein the upper part is pivoted relative to the base part for movement about an axis between a first position corresponding to said operative position of the sight, wherein at least one projection on one of the upper part and the base part engages a groove on the other one of said parts, and a second position transverse to the first position, wherein the projection is disengaged from the groove to allow the upper part to be separated from the base part, and that said means comprises a latch which is spring biased to an engaged position preventing pivoting of the upper part from said first position, and against the spring bias can be brought into a disengaged position allowing pivoting of the upper part.
2. The sight mount of claim 1 wherein the latch can be brought into the disengaged position by manual operation.
3. The sight mount of claim 2 wherein the latch comprises a pivoted lever.
4. The sight mount of claim 3 wherein the lever in the engaged position engages an end face of the upper part in the operative position thereof to prevent pivoting of the upper part in relation to the base part.
5. The sight mount of claim 1 wherein the projections each comprise a rib matching the associated groove.
6. The sight of claim 1 wherein the upper part forms a flat underside surface to be engaged with a flat surface formed by the base part when the two parts are put together.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for directed assembly of a conducting polymer comprising: providing a template comprising a patterned electrode having a lithographically formed trenched topography in a layer of photoresist material disposed on a metal layer; and electrophoretically assembling a conducting polymer on the patterned electrode of the template wherein the template is sufficiently insulated beneath the patterned electrode to provide for selective electrophoretic assembly of the conducting polymer on the patterned electrode of the template and to substantially prevent deposition of the conductive polymer on other areas of the template.
