Definitions

  • the invention relates to a telescopic sight with Angle to each other, in a thread on Main tube engaging adjusting spindles, which on a in Main tube movably mounted inner tube with the reticle attack, and with one on the inner tube in the area of Arranged in reticle, connectable to a power source Light source for illuminating the reticle.
  • Such a telescopic sight is already known (US 29 09 838).
  • the reticle is indicated by a crosshair two electrically heatable threads are formed which Glow can be brought.
  • the crosshair is on attached to a sleeve that through against the inner tube Insulating material is electrically insulated.
  • the sleeve consists of two electrically insulated from each other Halves on lines not shown a battery is connected. Since the threads in Extend warming, they must be tensioned with springs will.
  • the thin wires are made of a platinum-iridium alloy, are still at the high Annealing temperature exposed to rapid oxidation.
  • Radioactive phosphor is used for the lighting device of a telescopic sight used. Radioactive phosphors are for civil Applications not allowed. In addition, their brightness Too little to properly illuminate the reticle.
  • one is designed as a sleeve Rifle scope adjustment spindle a light source provided the light through a hole on a Optical fiber falls off the line spike of the reticle forms.
  • This well-known illuminated riflescope has has proven itself on the whole. The disadvantage is however, that the reticle axially at the same height as the Threaded spindle must be arranged. Also leaves the Brightness of the lighting left a lot to be desired, especially since Target spike, but not the crossbar of the reticle be illuminated.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to use a riflescope a well-lit reticle and a simple one External power supply without major changes in the Have to make riflescope available.
  • the light source on the inner tube in Attached area of the reticle This will be the reticle brightly lit. This can also cause the reticle anywhere in the longitudinal direction of the riflescope to be ordered.
  • the power supply of the light source takes place via one of the two adjustment spindles with which the reticle is adjusted.
  • the relevant adjustment spindle preferably has an inner part and a Inner part arranged opposite the inner part electrically insulated ring part on which the thread is attached, with which the adjusting spindle in the thread engages on the main pipe.
  • the inner part connects the Light source with one pole and the ring part with other pole of the power source.
  • connection of the inner part or ring part of the Adjustment spindle to the light source on the inner tube for one pole of the light source preferably by a Line, which is arranged on the inner tube and a Has contact piece on which the inner part of the adjusting spindle attacks.
  • the ring part is the Adjustment spindle via a flexible line, for example over leaf and / or spiral springs, with the other pole connected to the light source, preferably by a LED is formed.
  • the power source generally a battery
  • the attachment can be screwed onto the thread, for example be that for screwing on the protective cap serves for the adjustment spindle.
  • the essay is about that preferably via contact springs with the inner part or connected to the ring part of the adjusting spindle.
  • the essay can only be used if necessary, for example in poor light or at dusk. In normal light, however, the user can use it carry yourself.
  • the lighting can be easily done on one normal scope can be installed. To do this, im essentially only exchanged an adjusting spindle that Light source attached to the inner tube, the attachment with the Power source provided and the contacting of the inner part and the ring part of the adjusting spindle on the one hand the power source and on the other hand with the light source to be carried out.
  • Figure 1 is in a main tube 1 of a telescopic sight an inner tube 2 perpendicular to the tube longitudinal axis 3 movably supported, for example by a non shown ball joint between the eyepiece side End of the inner tube 2 and the main tube 1.
  • Inner tube 2 which is composed of several rings, the target or the reticle 4 arranged, and before the reversal system with the lenses 5.6.
  • the reticle 4 consists of a reticle, that is, a glass plate with two crossbeams 7,8 and a vertical bar 9 perpendicular thereto facing away from the vertical beam 9, that is, the upper side of the Reticle 4 is one at an angle of, for example, 45 °
  • Light source 10 attached in the form of a light emitting diode is aligned with the center of the reticle 4. So that can the reticle 4 are illuminated with great brightness.
  • the adjusting spindle 11 is essentially on the main tube 1 according to the German patent application P 43 41 151.7 stored.
  • a ring section 15 extends from the hub 14 radially outwards, to which a locking device is attached is.
  • the locking device 16 acts with locking recesses together, which are provided on the intermediate housing 13.
  • a knob 17 is rotatable and axial on the hub 14 slidably mounted.
  • the knob 17 has two axial Attitudes, namely a pulled-out setting and the inserted one shown in FIG End position in which he with the ring portion 15 of the hub 14 and thus with the locking device 16 by a positive lock is rotatably connected. In the pulled out setting the knob 17, however, is freely rotatable.
  • Gearing provided, on the other hand are on the ring section 15 of the hub 14 spring elements 18 attached intervene in this interlocking.
  • the spring elements 18 are in the engaged position arranged in an annular groove 19, thereby engaging them stand with the teeth of the rotary knob 17. In the disengaged position they are from the annular groove 19th pulled out, whereby the toothing is released.
  • the Knob 17 is provided with an index mark.
  • To the Adjust the reticle e.g. after mounting the Riflescope on the weapon, you pull it into one Setting out and then puts the index mark on a rifle scope-fixed mark. Then the Knob 17 pushed into the other setting and the riflescope is adjusted. That is, by turning the Knob 17 and thus the spindle 11 Inner tube 2 moved until the reticle 4 with the Meeting point matches. This is the basic adjustment followed by pulling out, turning and pushing in of the rotary knob 17, the index mark of the Rotary knob with the rifle scope fixed zero mark in Agreement is brought.
  • the adjusting spindle 11 is for power supply to the Inner tube 2 attached light source 10 is formed.
