Title: Ian F. Webb and Mechanically Activated Laser Training Systems.

Introduction

Ian F. Webb is an inventor associated with Phoenix, Arizona, and Virtra Systems Inc. His patent work concerns a firearm simulation system designed to support enhanced firearms training through a mechanically activated laser.

Latest Patents

Webb is named on 1 patent: “System and Method for Mechanically Activated Laser.” The invention describes a normally closed laser activation circuit used with a recoil kit. A recoil spring presses a ball bearing against a conductive seal, keeping the circuit closed. When the simulated weapon’s trigger is pulled, a striker pin dislodges the ball bearing from the seal, opening the circuit and activating a laser light. The laser simulates a projectile being fired, providing a visual indication during training.

Career Highlights

Webb’s listed patent reflects work on firearm simulation technology intended to make training systems respond mechanically to a trigger pull. The design connects the weapon’s simulated firing action to laser activation through a compact circuit mechanism.

Collaborations

Webb’s listed coworkers include Matthew D. Burlend and Christopher M. Savarese. His patent is associated with Virtra Systems Inc.

Conclusion

Ian F. Webb’s patent describes a mechanically triggered laser system that simulates firing and supports enhanced firearms training.
