ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a bracket for coupling an illuminating device having an independent power supply to a night vision device having a separate power supply, wherein the illuminating device coupled to the housing of the night vision device will draw no additional power from the night vision device. The bracket comprises a generally cylindrical barrel for receiving the illuminating device, which may be a flashlight. A support extends substantially perpendicularly from the cylindrical barrel near one end. An eye ring is included on the support for attaching the bracket to a housing. The support further includes a second support region extending from the cylindrical barrel to just above the eye ring, wherein the support region overhangs a portion of the housing of the night vision device to provide additional support. The bracket is rotably positionable on the housing in an arcuate path between first and second points, allowing the flashlight to be moved from side to side to accommodate both left-handed and right-handed users. A second preferred embodiment of the bracket includes a longitudinal slit through the cylindrical barrel, wherein the barrel is expandable to accommodate flashlights of different sizes.
