Abstract
A rifle scope has a front end receiving light and a rear end passing light to the user eye. The rifle scope has an elevation adjustment; an inside body is hollow and tubular and fitting inside a middle body which is also hollow and tubular shaped and a top angle focus adjustment mounted on the inside body in front of the elevation windage. The top angle focus adjustment has a top angle focus knob, a focus shaft mounted to the focus knob, and a top angle gear mounted to the focus shaft. The top angle focus knob and the focus shaft and the top angle gear are fixed so that they rotate together on an axis of the focus shaft. The inside body focus gear housing has an inside body focus gear meshing with the top angle gear, and the top angle gear rotation rotates the inside body focus gear.

A rifle scope having a front end receiving light and a rear end passing light to the user eye comprising:
- a. a elevation adjustment;
- b. an inside body is hollow and tubular and fitting inside a middle body which is also hollow and tubular shaped;
- c. a top angle focus adjustment mounted on the inside body in front of the elevation windage, wherein top angle focus adjustment further comprises:
- i. a top angle focus knob;
- ii. a focus shaft mounted to the focus knob;
- iii. a top angle gear mounted to the focus shaft, wherein the top angle focus knob and the focus shaft and the top angle gear are fixed so that they rotate together on an axis of the focus shaft;
- iv. an inside body focus gear housing having an inside body focus gear meshing with the top angle gear, wherein the top angle gear rotation rotates the inside body focus gear, wherein the inside body focus gear housing further comprises a focus slot;
- v. a focus lens held within a lens retainer body that is held within the inside body focus gear housing;
- vi. a shaft retainer body fixed to the middle body, wherein the shaft retainer body further comprises a focus pin sliding slot retaining a focus pin, wherein the inside body focus gear housing is in sliding telescopic configuration relative to the shaft retainer body so that the turn of the top angle focus knob rotates the focus shaft, which rotates the top angle gear, which rotates the inside body focus gear housing, which has a focus slot that cooperates with the focus pin held within the focus pin slot so that the inside body focus gear housing moves in sliding telescopic configuration relative to the shaft retainer body.

- a. a elevation adjustment;
- b. an inside body is hollow and tubular and fitting inside a middle body which is also hollow and tubular shaped;
- c. a top angle focus adjustment mounted on the inside body in front of the elevation windage, wherein top angle focus adjustment further comprises:
- i. a top angle focus knob having a focus shaft;
- ii. a top angle gear mounted to the focus shaft, wherein the top angle focus knob and the focus shaft and the top angle gear are fixed so that they rotate together on an axis of the focus shaft;
- iii. an inside body focus gear housing having an inside body focus gear meshing with the top angle gear, wherein the top angle gear rotation rotates the inside body focus gear, wherein the inside body focus gear housing further comprises a focus slot;
- iv. a focus lens held within a lens retainer body that is held within the inside body focus gear housing;
- v. a shaft retainer body fixed to the middle body, wherein the shaft retainer body further comprises a focus pin sliding slot retaining a focus pin, wherein the inside body focus gear housing is in sliding telescopic configuration relative to the shaft retainer body so that the turn of the top angle focus knob rotates the focus shaft, which rotates the top angle gear, which rotates the inside body focus gear housing, which has a focus slot that cooperates with the focus pin held within the focus pin slot so that the inside body focus gear housing moves in sliding telescopic configuration relative to the shaft retainer body, wherein the focus slot is inclined, wherein the focus pin sliding slot holds the focus pin in a forward and backward sliding configuration.
