Abstract
This invention relates to a binocular in which a focus adjusting ring is built in a central body of the binocular so that it cannot be collided with something rigid. The binocular central body having the built-in focus adjusting ring is rotatably linked with a pair of telescopes by a plurality of screw-type pins.
Claims2
A binocular, comprising first and second telescopes each including an ocular lens housing and an objective lens housing;
- a central body positioned between the first and second telescopes and having a channel;
- a focus adjusting ring built in the central body, said telescopes and central body being rotatably linked with each other by a plurality of screw-type pins each engaging screw-type pin receiving portions disposed on both sides of the central body as well as adjacent each end of each telescope, the built-in focus adjusting ring including a sliding pin engaged therewith, the sliding pin being fixed with a bar accommodated is said channel of the central body and including two opposite ends both having respective bifurcate fitting members, said bar having a width smaller than that of said channel, each of the bifurcate fitting members being freely fitted with a feed pin fixed with the objective lens housing, whereby by rotating the built-in focus adjusting ring, the sliding pin and the bar are moved back and forth so that consequently the objective lens housing fixed with the feed pin is moved back and forth.
A binocular, comprising first and second telescopes each including an ocular lens housing and an objective lens housing;
- a central body positioned between the two telescopes, a focus adjusting ring built in the central body, said telescopes and central body being rotatably linked with each other by a plurality of screw-type pins each engaging screw-type pin receiving portions disposed on both sides of the central body as well as adjacent each end of each telescope, said screw-type pin receiving portions of the central body and each telescope being provided with a longitudinal stop portion whereby said telescopes are rotatable within a defined range so that they are not be opened so largely, the built-in focus adjusting ring including a sliding pin engaged therewith, said sliding pin being fixed with a bar having two opposite ends both having bifurcate fitting members freely fitted with a feed pin fixed with the objective lens housing, whereby by rotating the built-in focus adjusting ring, the sliding pin and the bar are moved back and forth so that consequently the objective lens housing fixed with the feed pin is moved back and forth.
