Abstract
A geometrically based target sighting aid stick-on for ready-made visors, goggles, glasses, monacles and sunglasses and a similar format for modifying visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles and contact lenses during manufacture is presented. Either in stick-on, or original manufacturing process the invention is for single eye use and applies geometric target alignment patterns that allow the user to reduce the common errors that lead to poor target sighting and consequent inaccurate shooting. The initial geometric stick-on method is accompanied by a second geometric method for use in the manufacture of visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles and contact lenses.
The geometric patterns may take any number of types and combinations of types, including but not limited to, the one hundred versions presented in this document. The invention holds for military applications with handguns, assault rifles, and both portable and mounted machine guns. It also holds for the a collection of active sports described in this patent application.

Description
Target Sighting Aid Background Mechanical sights and/or optical scopes often support target sighting.
In many cases optical scopes are impractical and a more simple practical approach is available is detailed here describing the use of a geometric target sighting aid adjusted for the dominant eye. The proposed sighting aid herein is attachable to visors, goggles, glasses, monacles and sunglasses or alternately put in place during manufacture of visors, goggles, glasses, monacles, sunglasses and contact lenses.
Target shooters in sports and the military suffer from reduced accuracy due to inadequate sighting support. A number of factors contributing to low targeting accuracy. The issue of rapid shooter movement, target movement, and the need to sight quickly amidst chaos combine to reduce performance.
So also do acute viewing angles for the shooter, along with typical uncertainty as to which of the shooter's two eyes is in control, and the lack of a quiet time prior to shooting complete the combination of the various errors that are sought to be reduced by the invention.
Military air, sea and ground troops all suffer from targeting errors under said conditions in situations of attack and defense. Sports, particularly the more active versions, need the target sighting aid support for more accurate visual targeting results. 5uch active sports are; hockey, ringette, lacrosse, _2_ field hockey, football, basketball, badminton, tennis, ping pong, curling, golf, soccer, volleyball, and table pool.
Experts in the vision field known as Dynamic Visual Acuity are familiar with the error-laden syndrome described above. The above cited error issues arise when accurate targeting is required. Motion, either rapid or not gives rise to stress and resulting targeting errors. Errors increase further when target shooting involves acute angles of sight to any target. These experts emphasize issues regarding the dominant eye and the need to resolve targeting with the dominant eye in regard to improving target-shooting accuracy. A f inal requirement cited often by the said experts for the improvement of accuracy relates to the need for a 'quiet moment' of target sighting before the shot. This process is often referred to as a quiet or steady eye.
This invention relates to a geometric target sighting aid employing a stick-on attachment or in-situ [during manufacture] technology both suitable for traditionally used headgear; visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles and contact lenses. The stick-on geometric aids are employed for ready-made visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, and monacles. The in-situ [during manufacture] geometric aids are employed in original manufacture of visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles and contact lenses. The geometric target sighting aids improve results in target location, reduce extreme acute angle sighting, utilize the dominant eye, combat the stress of motion chaos, and will deliver a quiet eye period prior to shooting. The target sighting aids are appropriate wherever users can wear visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles or contact lenses.
In both the stick-on and in-situ [during manufacture] method for visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles and contact lenses all the said improved accuracy virtues are all incorporated.
The method of using the said geometric target sighting aid for; initial target location, sighting by the dominant eye, provision of quite time, chaos reduction, and reduction of acute sighting angles, are all equally appropriate for original manufacturing techniques for visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles and contact lenses whereby geometric target sighting patterns are permanently installed in the headgear sighting path.
In the event of incorporation during manufacture of contact lenses, visors, goggles, glasses, monacles and sun glasses the specific medium may include any of the geometric technology for stick-on apparatus as well as one or more other manufacturing inclusions in said devices; thickness variation, index of refraction of material, imbedding of microscopic bubbles or other aids to change index of refraction or curvature, or partial said changes to the said manufactured headgear for purpose of accommodating the described target sighting accuracy advantages.
Description The geometric target sighting aid employs stick-on devices for ready-made headgear; visors, goggles, glasses, monacles and sunglasses. The geometric target sighting aid method during initial manufacture may also include the variation of optical properties, in or on the surface of material in the manufacture of; visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monacles and contact lenses. The stick-on and original manufacturing methods hold for said active sports and in the military for handguns, assault rifles, and both portable and mounted machine guns.
In ready made head gear the target sighting aid, without vision obstruction, pertains to the application whereby attachment of a geometric aid is made by a stick-on to headgear employing clear, shaded or coloured; squares, rectangles, circles, ellipses, concentric circles, concentric ellipses, pentagons, octagons, hexagons, polygons, combinations of above, or partial markings of clear, shaded or coloured squares, rectangles, circles, ellipses, concentric circles, and concentric ellipses, pentagons, octagons, hexagons or polygons.
See Photograph A, Photograph B, Photograph C and Photograph D.
In the manufacturing of visors, goggles, glasses, monacles, sunglasses, and contact lenses the geometric target sighting aid may be incorporated in said headgear and contact lenses at manufacture by incorporation of, but not limited to. types in Figures 1-100, in any manner such as to make their appearance visible to the user. The target sighting aid consisting of clear, shaded or coloured squares, rectangles, concentric squares, concentric rectangles, circles, ellipses, concentric circles, concentric ellipses, pentagons, octagons, hexagons, polygons, combinations of above, or partial markings of clear, shaded or coloured squares, rectangles, concentric squares, concentric rectangles, circles, ellipses, concentric circles, concentric ellipses, pentagons, octagons, hexagons, and polygons. Further geometric target sighting aids may be incorporated at manufacture appearing as sudden changes in device thickness, index of refraction, or curvature or partial said alterations by other means to effect a geometric target sighting aid in or on the device.
This holds f or handguns, assault rif les, and both portable and mounted machine guns and the collection of said active sports previously cited.
A sample set of geometric target sighting aids comprising target-sighting geometries figures and sizes are shown below. Such examples do not limit the invention geometries. See Figures 1 through 100.
Explanation of Figures.
Figures 1 through 100 depict probable types and example sizes for patterns of geometric figures for the target sighting aids but target sighting aid geometries shall not be limited to this series of figures.
Different sizes represent the result of the sizing process whereby the employed f igure is matched to situational target sizes. Huge targets require a greater view opening than smaller targets. As a result they are the physically larger geometric target sight aids. Different target sighting aid geometry will be matched to the target geometry such that the target is 'highlighted' by the target sighting aid geometry when viewing hence the user quickly adapts to the sighting process providing improved performance in target sighting and subsequent target shooting accuracy.
The target sighting aid geometry incorporates a method of facilitating the shooter's use of the device to improve the sighting of targets in the military and sports world. In the case of all military where sights are not closely adjacent to the shooter's eye the geometry in the target sighting aid is effective in improving accuracy. This is particularly true for handguns, assault rifles, and both portable and mounted machine guns and the active sports previously cited. This improved sighting includes the employment in sighting of the user's dominant eye, using a stick-on for ready-made visors, goggles, glasses, monacles, and sunglasses, and using similar or equivalent geometric patterns when embedding target sight aids in initial manufacture.
The in-situ manufacture technique applies to visors, goggles, glasses, monacles, sunglasses and contact lenses. The embedded geometry includes the said geometric patterns or combinations thereof along with possible variation in headgear material thickness, index of refraction and/or the inclusion of microscopic bubbles in the manufactured viewing material.
Determination of the dominant eye is done by a commonly used technique.
The simple procedure is to form a viewing window using both eyes and two hands showing a distant target in said hand window. Note the circle in the hands below. Upon closing one eye, if the target is still visible the remaining open eye is the dominant eye. If the target view has moved or is not visible in the hand window the alternate [unopened] eye is the dominant eye. See Photograph E below.
The stick-on target sighting aids themselves consist of, but are not limited to the use of said prepared patterns [Fig 1-100] for ready made head gear;
visors, goggles, glasses, monacles, and sunglasses employing any or all among;
clear, shaded or coloured; squares, rectangles, circles, ellipses, concentric circles, concentric ellipses, pentagons, octagons, hexagons, polygons combinations of above, or partial markings of clear, shaded or coloured;
squares, rectangles, circles, ellipses, concentric circles, concentric ellipses, pentagons, octagons, hexagons, polygons or any combinations of geometric patterns that serve to improve the hereto for said errors in target sighting.
In original manufacture the target sighting geometric aids include the use of clear, shaded or coloured circles, ellipses, concentric rings, concentric ellipses, pentagons, octagons, hexagons, polygons and/or sudden changes in said material thickness, index of refraction, microscopic bubbles or curvature or partial said changes or any combinations of geometric patterns in the viewing path and claiming to reduce the heretofore said errors in target sighting in the case of the manufacturing incorporation in visors, goggles, monacles, glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses.
The target sighting aid to be attached to ready-made visors, goggles, glasses or sunglasses is a stick-on pattern using a target engineered size and said prepared pattern for the stick-on application to the inside or outside surfaces of visors, goggles, glasses or sunglasses or monacles.
The target sighting aid geometry is selected by the user and added to ready manufactured surfaces of visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses and monacles, after the prescribed tests for determining the dominant eye are completed.
The referred to dominant eye tests are simple and conclusive. Once the target sighting aid is attached to any of; visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses or monacles the dominant eye will control target-shooting activities whenever the user sights with the target sighting aid and an included geometry pattern.
The said target sighting aid patterns of locator markings as, but not limited to, Figures 1 to 100, are produced for use as markings such that each geometric size is determined by the military or sporting target sizes themselves. The variation in said target sizing depends on the range and initial target size. The concentric marking diameters are determined by the needs of each application being either the said military or said active sports mentioned.
The target sighting aid geometric stick-on pattern may be removed and relocated to improve the installation by more precise positioning for use with the dominant eye in the event of small error in initial placement of the stick-on geometry. Users may elect to employ several different target-sighting aids for different occasions such as different cited sports using said visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, and monacles.
In many cases optical scopes are impractical and a more simple practical approach is available is detailed here describing the use of a geometric target sighting aid adjusted for the dominant eye. The proposed sighting aid herein is attachable to visors, goggles, glasses, monacles and sunglasses or alternately put in place during manufacture of visors, goggles, glasses, monacles, sunglasses and contact lenses.
