Abstract
A system and method for activating an optic for a gun. A magnetic field from a magnet proximate the optic is detected. Power to the optic is turned off from a battery of the optic in response to detecting the magnetic field. Power to the optic is turned on from a battery in response to not detecting the magnetic field.
Claims20
A method for activating an optic for a gun, comprising:
- detecting a magnetic field from a magnet proximate the optic;
- turning off power to the optic from a battery of the optic in response to detecting the magnetic field, the optic includes one or more lenses;
- and
- turning on power to the optic from a battery in response to not detecting the magnetic field.

A method for activating an optic for a gun, comprising:
- detecting a magnetic field from a magnet proximate the optic;
- activating power to circuitry of the optic from a battery in response to not detecting the magnetic field, the optic includes one or more lenses;
- and
- deactivating power to the optic from a battery of the optic in response to detecting the magnetic field.
1 more element
An optical sight for a gun comprising:
- a housing including a base, a first support and a second support extend from opposing sides of the base, a top support extends between the first support and the second support, the top support extends over one or more optical elements;
- and
- the optical element is supported by the housing between the base, the first support, the top support, and the second support;
- a battery powering circuitry associated with the optical element;
- and
- a magnetic sensor integrated with the housing, wherein the magnetic sensor activates the battery to power optical element when removed from proximity to a magnetic field.
