DESCRIPTION
BALLISTIC ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY FOR SIGHTING DEVICES
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices that enable to take sight at the desired point by allowing reticle movement at day and night vision optical sighting devices. Background of the Invention
In the state of the art, the day and night vision optical sighting devices do not allow to take sight at the desired point by allowing reticle movement. In the prior art, ability to shift the reticle when shooting at different distances is not provided.
The United States patent document no. US201 1242650, an application in the state of the art, discloses a multi-function adjustment knob used in a rifle scope. The adjustment knob performs adjustment by means of two members. The invention carries out windage, elevation and parallax adjustments via a single adjustment knob. The said invention resembles the invention titled "Ballistic Adjustment Assembly for Sighting Devices" in terms of adjustability of the sighting device. However, the invention titled "Ballistic Adjustment Assembly for Sighting Devices" is more advanced in terms of its embodiment and other advantages. The United States patent document no. US2008236018, an application in the state of the art, discloses an adjustment mechanism for devices such as binoculars. The said invention resembles the invention titled "Ballistic Adjustment Assembly for Sighting Devices" in terms of reticle shifting, and windage and elevation adjustment. Summary of the Invention
The objective of the present invention is to provide a ballistic adjustment assembly which enables to zero (sighting-in) the sighting device with respect to the weapon.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices which enables to provide suitable correction to the ballistic path for the shooting.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices which enables the suitable correction to be provided to the ballistic path for the shooting to be seen on the drum.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices which enables to take sight quickly by using the indicator thereon when shooting at predetermined distances.
Detailed Description of the Invention
A ballistic adjustment assembly developed to fulfill the objective of the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying figure wherein
FIGURE 1 is the schematic view of the ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices.
The components in the figures are assigned reference numerals as follows:
1. Ballistic adjustment assembly
2. Protective cover
3. Spring cover 4. Drum
5. Spring
6. Indicator label
7. Indicator ring
8. Shaft cover
9. Ball
10. Secondary spring
1 1. Headless screw
12. Shaft
13. Body
14. Pusher
A ballistic adjustment assembly for sighti g devices (1 ) of the prevent invention comprises
- at least one protective cover (2) which forms the outermost layer and is resistant to external factors,
- at least one helical spring (5) having an elastic form,
- at least one spring cover (3) which is arranged on the spring and positioned in the protective cover,
- at least one drum (4) which can rotate and into which the spring (5) is placed,
- at least one scaled indicator label (6) which enables to perform zeroing,
- at least one indicator ring (7) which is encompassed by the indicator label,
- at least one shaft (12) which converts circular movement to linear movement and has two rectangular protrusions on the lower part thereof,
- at least one shaft cover (8) which is placed on the shaft (12),
- at least one body (13) in which the shaft (12) is positioned,
- at least one ball (9) which enables the shaft (12) to perform step by step rotational movement within the body (13),
- at least one secondary spring (10) which is located between the shaft (12) and the body (13),
- at least one headless screw (1 1 ) which is placed on the secondary spring (10), - at least one pusher (14) which can move linearly in connection with the shaft (32).
A ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1), which has a protective cover (2), enables to take sight quickly when shooting at predetermined distances by means of the indicator ring (7) provided thereon. A different ballistic label (6) specific for each weapon should be used.
There is provided a protective cover (2) on the upper part of the ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1). The protective cover (2) protects the spring cover (3) and the spring (5) against external factors (impact, hitting). The spring cover (3) is located between the spring (5) and the protective cover (2). When the drum (4), into which the spring (5) fits, is pulled towards the protective cover (2), the spring (5) compresses. The drum (4) can also perform circular movement. The drum (4), which can be rotated around itself, is connected to the teeth provided on the indicator ring (7).
When the drum (4) rotates, the indicator ring (7) also performs rotational movement by means of the teeth. The indicator ring (7) is circular. The indicator label (6) is placed over the outer perimeter of the indicator ring (7). Zeroing is performed for the shooting by means of the indicator label (6), which preferably comprises millimetric scaling thereon, and thereby predetermined targets can be shot quickly. There is a shaft cover (8) located below the indicator ring (7). A shaft (12) is positioned below the shaft cover (8). The shaft (12) converts circular movement to linear movement.
The shaft (12) performs rotational movement within the body (13). The body (13) is circular and has a circular protrusion on the center thereof. The ball (9) located between the shaft (12) and the body (13) enables the shaft (12) to perform rotational movement step by step. There are recesses between the shaft (12) and the body (13) large enough for the ball (9) to fit in. When the shaft (12) rotates, the ball (9) fits into a recess corresponding to each step. When the ball (9) fits into a recess, the user will hear a click, sound. Thus the user will be able to zero his sight and make needed ballistic corrections for the target and the probability of hit will increase.
The pusher (14) connected to the shaft (12) moves linearly. The pusher (14) is positioned at the farthermost point of the ballistic assembly (1 ). The pusher (14) is preferably in the form a rectangular prism.
Within the framework of this basic concept, it is possible to develop various embodiments of the inventive ballistic adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1). The invention can not be limited to the examples described herein and it is essentially as defined in the claims.
