Abstract
A viewing and sighting apparatus is disclosed in its preferred form utilizing a self-luminous lighting material marked on and within clear see-through lenses and may be provided with an electronically lit light source. The sighting device is characterized by a see-through tubular structure with a front clear lens having a cross-like image marked through its center and a rear clear lens having a circle-like image marked in its center. This sighting device is affixed with a means of adjusting the position of the rear circle image in its relationship to the center of the front cross and a means to mount on various weapons of use. The viewing and sighting apparatus may be used to isolate a target area and aim and direct projectile impace to a specific target within the isolated target area and may be further used in darkened conditions.
Claims20
Sighting device comprising, in combination:
- a front lens;
- a rear lens;
- means for securing the front lens and the rear lens in a spaced apart relation;
- a housing having a front opening and a rear opening, with the front lens positioned adjacent the front opening of the housing and with the rear lens positioned adjacent the rear opening of the housing;
- with the securing means comprising, in combination:
- a lens spacer for receipt in the housing intermediate the front and rear openings, with the front lens located within the housing and abutting with the lens spacer, with the front lens and the rear lens located on opposite sides of the lens spacer;
- and a first lens holder held in the housing adjacent the front opening for abutting with the front lens opposite to the lens spacer;
- a first design marked on the front lens;
- and a second design marked on the rear lens, with the first design appearing to be centered on the second design when viewing along a sighting line through the front lens and the rear lens on a level plane.
Sighting device comprising, in combination:
- a front lens;
- a rear leans;
- means for securing the front lens and the rear lens in a spaced apart relation comprising, in combination:
- a block of clear material, with the front and rear lenses being formed integrally with and on opposite sides of the block of clear material;
- a first design marked on the front lens;
- and a second design marked on the rear lens, with the first design appearing to be centered on the second design when viewing along a sighting line through the front lens and the rear lens on a level plane, and wherein the first and second designs are marked on the front and rear lenses by filling chambers formed in the block with non-transparent liquid.
Apparatus for adjusting the elevation and windages of a sighting device for sighting along a sighting line comprising, in combination:
- a base having an extension extending upwardly;
- means for pivotally mounting the sighting device relative to the base about a windage axis generally perpendicular to the sighting line;
- means for biasing the sighting device to pivot in a first direction about the windage axis;
- a windage adjustment screw extending from the extension for adjustably pushing the sighting device in a direction opposite to the first direction;
- means for pivotally mounting the sighting device relative to the base about an elevation axis generally perpendicular to the sighting line and to the windage axis;
- means for biasing the sighting device to pivot in a second direction about the elevation axis;
- and means for pushing the sighting device in a direction opposite to the second direction for ad the elevation of the sighting device.
