Definitions
- the invention relates to a sighting device for handguns consisting of rear sight and front sight, light gaps existing between the mutually facing boundaries of rear sight and front sight.
- Such a sighting device is known from DE 21 26 068 A.
- the rear sight of grain each has the same (circular, diamond-shaped or X-shaped) contour and thus forms at least two pairs of light columns forming an angle with one another when in the state set up for the target.
- the horizontal and the vertical deviation are each assigned a pair of light columns, so that both deviations are perceived in the same way.
- This is disadvantageous, however, because when the target is aimed at, the pairs of light gaps lead the eye away from the target to the angles. This makes it impossible to target the target with pinpoint accuracy. If the goal is deleted instead of set up, a considerable part of the goal is of the large area
- Grain covered which hinders target acquisition. Thus, both delays target acquisition and leads to target errors.
- the rear sight has an essentially divergent shape from an upper edge downward.
- Chen trapezoidal rear sight cutout and the grain has an essentially triangular outline, the upper tip of which, when the weapon is set, halves the upper side of the trapezoidal rear sight cutout.
- This creates two converging light gaps between the sides of the trapezoidal cutout and the sides of the triangular outline of the grain, which lead the eye to the target and also serve for horizontal adjustment.
- the upper tip of the triangular shaped grain simultaneously permits height adjustment and also side adjustment, as a result of which side adjustment by the light gaps may also be omitted.
- the upper tip of the grain is set at the level of the upper edge of the rear sight in the middle between the upper corners on the trapezoidal cut-out of the rear sight (height adjustment), whereby the side adjustment is carried out at the same time.
- a horizontally extending contrast strip is arranged in the upper region of the rear sight and the front sight, which extends downward from the upper edge of the rear sight and from the upper tip of the front sight (claim 2).
- a U-shaped visor in contrasting color is known from AT 379 447 B. However, it surrounds a conventional cutout at some distance. Rapid, precise target acquisition is therefore not possible, since the eye's eye is not directed to the decisive upper edge of the sighting device due to the contrast point attached to the grain at a medium height.
- the contrast strips according to the invention support target acquisition in less good lighting conditions or a dark background.
- the contrast strip on the rear sight blade and on the grain is preferably provided with light-active inlays (claim 3). These show a sighting image even in the dark.
- the sides of the trapezoidal cutout and the sides of the triangular outline of the grain are completely or partially lined with contrasting strips (claim 4). The guiding effect can be better adapted to the eye through whole or partial hems.
- the sides of the essentially trapezoidal cutout and the sides starting from the tip of the grain each have a curved shape (claim 5).
- the light gaps have a curved course, which serves to adapt to special requirements, also to counteract diffraction and reflections.
- the sides can be concavely curved to improve the gaze guidance (claim 6).
- Fig. 1 A hint of a pistol with a sight device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 A sight device according to the invention in a first embodiment
- Fig. 3 A sight device according to the invention in a second
- FIG.4 Visor device according to the invention in a third embodiment.
- any pistol is shown in FIG. 1, but it could also be a long weapon.
- a rear sight 1 is attached to the end closer to the shooter, a front sight 2 to the front end of the weapon. You determine a sighting axis 3.
- the rear sight 1 is a guer-extending metal sheet, therefore also called the rear sight blade, with an upper edge 5, from which a trapezoidal rear sight cut-out 6 that widens downwards starts.
- the upper side 7 of the trapezoid lies in the upper edge.
- the two sides 8, 9 are inclined outwards, for example by 45 °.
- the grain 2 is formed in its visible part by a triangular prism, the tip 10 of which halves the upper side of the trapezoidal cutout 6 when the weapon is aimed at the target. From this the sides 11,12 go parallel to the sides 8,9 of the rear sight. They form a first light gap 15 and a second light gap 16. Both light columns lead upwards directly to a target point 13 (e.g. the center of a shooting target).
- the sighting axis 3 of FIG. 1 runs from the center of the upper side 7 of the rear sight 1 to the upper tip 10 of the grain 2.
- a horizontal contrast strip 20 is attached to the front of the rear sight 1 and extends preferably from the upper edge 5 down to about half the height of the trapezoid.
- the grain 2 also has a contrast strip 21, the height of which is equal to that of the first contrast strip.
- These stripes can be white, black, colored or light-active. They support target acquisition in various unfavorable lighting conditions.
- FIG. 3 differs from the previous one primarily by the curved trapezoidal sides 8 ', 9' and triangular sides 11 ', 12', which results in curved light columns 15 ', 16'.
- the contrast strips 30, 31 are designed differently. They each form an arrow fringing the edges 5,8 'or 5,9' or 11 ', 12'. Instead of the arrows 30, 31, the edges could also be lined with contrasting stripes over their entire length.
- the tip 10 When aiming at the target point 13, to set up the elevation, the tip 10 is brought to the level of the upper edge 5 and the target point 13 is placed. For the lateral arrangement, either the tip 10 is brought exactly into the middle of the upper side 7 or the two light gaps 15, 16 become the same made wide. Tilting the weapon is not possible. When comparing the width of the two light gaps 15, 16, the eye is led directly to the target point 13 by their convergence.
- the tip 10 can, as is customary in metalworking with sharp edges, be broken or very slightly rounded.
