Light dot sight

Abstract

With a light dot sight (100) that can be affixed in the region of the surface of a breech of a firearm. The sight has a partially transparent reflector element (110) which reflects the parallel light of a light source (120) mounted on the firearm, into the eye of the shooter to focus to a point on the retina of the shooter. Obstruction of a field of view of the shooter directed to a special event is avoided in that the undersurface (111) of the partially transparent reflector element (110) has a width which has dimensions for directly and robustly anchoring the reflector element (110) in the region of the surface of the breech by means of a fastener.

Claims

1. A light dot sight (100), attached to a surface of a breech (200) of a firearm, and comprising: a light source (120) emitting divergent light; a partially transparent reflector element (110), which reflects the light of the light source wherein reflected light is focused to a point on a retina of an eye of a shooter, wherein: the reflector element (110) is formed by a lens having: a convex front surface; and a partially reflective concave rear surface; the concave rear surface of the lens acts as a collimator for the divergent light of the light source (120); and an undersurface (111) of the partially transparent reflector element (110) is anchored to the surface of the breech (200) by means of a fastener formed by an adhesive (150).

2. The light dot sight (100) according to claim 1, characterized in that the partially transparent reflector element is shroudless.

3. A method for using the light dot sight (100) of claim 1, the method comprising: the partially transparent reflector element (110) collimating the divergent light emitted by the light source (120); the partially transparent reflector element (110) reflecting the collimated light; and the partially reflector element (110) focusing the reflected light to the point on the retina of the shooter.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) The light dot sight according to the invention is explained below on the basis of a preferred embodiment, which is shown in the figures of the drawing. In the figures:

(2) FIG. 1 shows a first preferred embodiment of the light dot sight according to the invention in a side view.

(3) FIG. 2 shows a second preferred embodiment of the light dot sight according to the invention in a side view.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(4) The light dot sights 100 according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be attached in the region of the surface of a breech 200 of a firearm and each contains a partially transparent reflector element 110, which reflects the parallel light of a light source 120 attached to the firearm and focused to a point on the retina of the shooter's eye into the eye of the shooter.

(5) The undersurface 111 of the partially transparent reflector element 110 has a width which is dimensioned for anchoring the reflector element 110 robustly in the region of the surface of the breech 200 by means of a fastener.

(6) The width of the undersurface 111 of the partially transparent reflector element 110 is dimensioned for anchoring the socketless (shroudless) reflector element 110 robustly in the region of the surface of the breech 200 by means of a fastener acting directly on the reflector element 110.

(7) According to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, the width of the partially transparent reflector element 110 in the region of the undersurface 111 close to the breech has the same dimensions as the optically effective regions of the partially transparent reflector element 110 remote from the breech, wherein due to the total thickness of the reflector element 110, the undersurface 111 of the partially transparent reflector element 110 has sufficient width for anchoring the reflector element 110 robustly in the region of the surface of the breech 200 by means of an adhesive.

(8) The reflector element 110 is formed by a concave/convex lens provided with a partially reflective rear surface, wherein the concave rear surface of the concave/convex lens acts similarly to a collecting lens as a collimator 130 for the divergent light of the light source 120.

(9) According to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 2, a collimator 130 is arranged between the light source 120 and the reflector element 110 designed as a plan-parallel plate, which transfers the light of the light source 120 into a parallel light beam, wherein the light source 120, the collimator 130 and the reflector element 110 are combined into a robust unit 140, which is anchored in the surface of the breech 200 in front of the reflector element 110 by means of an adhesive as anchoring elements.

(10) The embodiment of the invention explained above is used only for the purpose of a better understanding of the teaching according to the invention specified by the claims, which as such is not restricted by the exemplary embodiment.
