Claims13
A power source for firearm optical sighting systems, including:
- a solar powered cap assembly operationally configured to electrically communicate with a battery compartment of a firearm optical sighting system in a manner effective to power the firearm optical sighting system.
A power source for firearm optical sighting systems, including:
- a cap assembly comprising (1) a housing having a threaded connection operationally configured to removably attach to a battery compartment of a firearm optical sighting system, (2) one or more solar cells disposed on the housing operationally configured to convert light energy into electrical energy, (3) a positive contact and a negative contact for electrical communication with a battery compartment of a firearm optical sighing system, (4) one or more rechargeable electrical energy storage devices operationally configured to store electrical energy, (5) control circuitry in electrical communication with the one or more solar cells, the positive and negative contacts and the one or more electrical energy storage devices and operationally configured to feed power at a controlled voltage and controlled rate to a firearm optical sighting system.
A solar powered firearm optical sighting system having an illuminated reticle, including:
- one or more light-emitting diodes;
- a battery compartment;
- and
- a removable cap assembly in electrical communication with the battery compartment in a manner effective to power the firearm optical sighting system, the removable cap assembly including (1) one or more solar cells operationally configured to convert light energy into electrical energy, (2) an electrical energy storage device operationally configured to store electrical energy, and (3) control circuitry in electrical communication with the one or more solar cells and the electrical energy storage device.
