Abstract
An archery viewfinder is disclosed. An example archery viewfinder may include a viewfinder housing having a cylindrical shape. The viewfinder may be mounted on one or both of a front toward target position and a rear toward user position in an archery bow system. The archery viewfinder may also include at least one light baffle in the viewfinder housing. The at least one light baffle is formed by a first diameter of the viewfinder forming adjacent ridges and a second diameter of the viewfinder housing forming a groove between the adjacent ridges. A combination of the geometrically parallel shape and the at least one light baffle substantially reduces or even fully eliminates incident stray light from causing glare when viewed or observed by the user.
Claims21
An archery viewfinder, comprising:
- a viewfinder housing having an interior cavity;
- and
- a plurality of adjacent light baffles in the interior cavity of the viewfinder housing, the plurality of adjacent light baffles separated by a cavity of general cylindrical shape having a larger diameter than an entrance baffle diameter, the plurality of adjacent light baffles forming an opening aperture with a constant diameter;
- an innermost light baffle in the viewfinder housing forming a field stop, the field stop having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the plurality of adjacent light baffles;
- wherein the plurality of light baffles and the field stop substantially reduces or even fully eliminates incident stray light from causing glare when viewed or observed by a user.
An archery viewfinder, comprising:
- a viewfinder housing having an interior cavity;
- and
- a plurality of adjacent light baffles in the interior cavity of the viewfinder housing, the plurality of adjacent light baffles separated by a cavity of general cylindrical shape with a diameter greater than an entrance baffle diameter, the plurality of adjacent light baffles forming an opening aperture with a constant diameter;
- at least one light field stop baffle in the interior cavity of the viewfinder housing having a smaller diameter than the plurality of adjacent light baffles of equal diameters, the at least one light field stop baffle formed by a first diameter of the viewfinder formed by a first diameter of the viewfinder housing and forming a groove between adjacent ridges;
- wherein a combination of a geometrically parallel shape, the plurality of adjacent light baffles, and the at least one light field stop baffle substantially reduces or even fully eliminates incident stray light from causing glare when viewed or observed by a user.
An archery viewfinder, comprising:
- a viewfinder housing having a cylindrical shape, the viewfinder configured to be mounted on at least one of a front toward target position and a rear toward user position in an archery bow system;
- and
- a plurality of light baffles in the viewfinder housing, the plurality of light baffles separated by a cavity of general cylindrical shape with a diameter greater than an entrance baffle diameter, the plurality of light baffles forming an opening aperture with a constant diameter;
- at least one light baffle in the viewfinder housing having a smaller diameter than the plurality of adjacent light baffles of equal diameters, the at least one light baffle formed by a first diameter of the viewfinder housing;
- forming a groove between adjacent ridges;
- wherein a combination of a geometrically parallel shape of the housing and the plurality of light baffle, substantially reduces or even fully eliminates incident stray light from causing glare when viewed or observed by a user.
