Abstract
An adjusting turret for a telescopic sight or reflex sight includes a rotary cap, which is rotatable about a rotary axis by applying a first torque, as an actuator for a spindle, wherein the rotary cap includes at least one rotation stop which is rotatable relative to the spindle about the rotary axis by applying a second torque that is smaller than the first torque, wherein the adjusting turret has at least one scale which is arranged on a part that is separate from the rotation stop.
Claims5
An adjusting turret for a long-range optical device,
- wherein the adjusting turret comprises a rotary cap comprising first and second parts rotatable about a rotary axis by applying a first torque, as an actuator for a spindle,
- wherein the rotary cap comprises at least one anti-twist protection device which is rotatable relative to the spindle about the rotary axis by applying a second torque that is smaller than the first torque,
- wherein the adjusting turret has at least one scale which is arranged on a part that is separate from the anti-twist protection device, the anti-twist protection device protecting the first and second parts of the rotary cap from all torque which is produced unintentionally or without the knowledge of the user, and
- wherein in use if the rotary cap gets caught on a surface the anti-twist protection device can run on said surface like a wheel, whereby only the anti-twist protection device rotates but the first and second parts of the rotary cap are not rotated relative to the rotary axis.
