Actuator element for the target mark of a sighting telescope having a retainer
10012476 · 2018-07-03 · ·

The invention relates to an actuator element for setting the target mark of a sighting telescope having a rear housing, a spindle mounted in the rear housing so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, a setting knob for moving the spindle in the rear housing and with a retainer for fixing the setting knob relative to the rear housing. The retainer comprises detent toothing in the setting knob extending around a circumference, at least one retaining element engaging with the detent toothing and at least one lock bar for positively fixing the retaining element in a recess of the detent toothing. The retaining element is mounted in an intermediate housing connected to the rear housing in a non-rotating arrangement.

AIMING SYSTEM COMPRISING A SCREEN COVERED WITH A TACTILE INTERFACE AND CORRESPONDING AIMING METHOD

The invention provides an aiming system comprising a display control unit connected to a screen having a surface that is covered at least in part by a touch interface, the display control unit being arranged to inlay an aiming frame in the images displayed on the screen. According to the invention, the display control unit is arranged to: inlay a control zone in a portion of the touch interface; and to move the aiming frame on the screen as a function of a contact exerted on the touch interface in the control zone. The invention also provides an aiming method implemented with such a system.

Locking adjustment knob
09665120 · 2017-05-30 · ·

An adjustment apparatus for adjusting a setting of a sighting device, such as a riflescope or telescope, includes an adjustment knob operatively coupled to an adjustment mechanism, where rotation of the adjustment knob about a rotational axis drives the adjustment mechanism to adjust the setting of the sighting device. The adjustment apparatus further includes a lock mechanism including a first lock element fixed relative to the sighting device and a second lock element selectively movable relative to the first lock element. When the lock elements engage one another, the adjustment knob is in a locked position and restrained from rotating about the rotational axis. The adjustment apparatus may further include a lock-release mechanism operable to disengage the lock elements and allow the adjustment knob to rotate about the rotational axis.
