Abstract
A range finder for hunting applications. In one embodiment, a range finder includes a cylindrical main housing, a range finder circuit, a display housing, a display and one or more brackets. The range finder circuit is contained in the main housing. The display housing is couple to a first side of the main housing. The display is received in the display housing and is in electrical communication with the range finding circuit. The one or brackets are selectively coupled to a second side of the main housing, wherein the second side of the main housing is opposite the first side of the main housing. In addition, the one or more brackets are adapted to couple the main housing to a portion of a hunting weapon.
Claims48
A range finder circuit comprising:
- a cylindrical main housing;
- a range finder circuit contained in the main housing;
- a display housing couple to a first side of the main housing;
- a display received in the display housing, the display is in electrical communication with the range finding circuit;
- and
- one or brackets selectively coupled to a second side of the main housing, the second side of the main housing is opposite the first side of the main housing, wherein the one or more brackets are adapted to coupled the main housing to a portion of a hunting weapon.
A range finder comprising:
- a circuit housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
- a range finder circuit to perform range finding functions contained in the circuit housing;
- a display housing coupled to extend from the first side of the circuit housing;
- a display encased in the display housing to display distances, the display in electrical communication with the range finder control circuit;
- a weather cover having a first end adapted to selectively couple to a first end of the circuit housing to form a weatherproof seal and a second enclosed end;
- a power supply selectively housed in the weather cover, wherein when the power supply is housed in the weather cover and the weather cover is coupled to the circuit housing the power supply is electrically coupled to supply power to the range finder circuit and the display;
- and
- one or more brackets adapted to couple the second side of the circuit housing to a weapon.
A range finder comprising:
- a circuit housing generally cylindrical in shape having first end with internal threads;
- a range finder circuit to perform range finding functions contained in the circuit housing;
- a display housing coupled to extend from a select side of the circuit housing;
- a display encased in the display housing to display distances, the display electrically coupled to the range finder circuit to receive distances signals;
- a weather cover cylindrical in shape having a first end with external threads that terminate in a shoulder, the external threads are adapted to threadably engage the internal threads of the circuit housing, the weather cover further having a second enclosed end;
- and
- a power supply selectively housed in the weather cover, wherein when the power supply is housed in the weather cover and the weather cover is threadably coupled to the circuit housing the power supply is electrically coupled to the range finder circuit and the display.
A range finder comprising:
- a main housing;
- a range finder circuit contained in the main housing to determine distances to objects;
- a display housing extending from the main housing;
- a display encased in the display housing, the display is electrically coupled to the range finder circuit to display one or more indicia representative of distances determined by the range finder circuit;
- and
- one or more brackets coupled to the range finder housing, the one or more brackets adapted to couple the range finder housing to a scope.
