Abstract
A combination sight comprises a magnifying optical sight and a non-magnifying optical sight arranged in parallel. The combination sight is characterized in a switchable component capable of assuming two states so as to deflect a beam path through the combination sight, wherein the first state allows for a user to observe a target through the non-magnifying sight and the second state allows for a user to observe a target through the magnifying sight while keeping an aiming eye static.
Claims11
A combination sight comprising:
- a magnifying optical sight including an entrance window;
- a non-magnifying optical sight including a separate entrance window, the non-magnifying optical sight being arranged in parallel to the magnifying optical sight, wherein a beam path through the magnifying optical sight is parallel to a beam path through the non-magnifying optical sight;
- wherein light passing through the entrance window of the non-magnifying optical sight does not enter into the magnifying optical sight;
- and
- wherein light passing through the entrance window of the magnifying optical sight does not enter into the non-magnifying optical sight;
- and
- a switchable component capable of assuming two states so as to deflect a beam path through the combination sight allowing a user to observe a target either through the non-magnifying optical sight or the magnifying optical sight;
- wherein the first state allows for a user to observe a target through the non-magnifying optical sight and the second state allows for a user to observe a target through the magnifying optical sight, while keeping an aiming eye static;
- and
- wherein, in the first state, the switchable component
- allows observation through the non-magnifying optical sight without deflecting or reflecting the beam path through the non-magnifying optical sight, and
- blocks the beam path through the magnifying optical sight.
