Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display device according to the preamble of Patent claim 1 and a system consisting of firearm and riflescope according to the The preamble of claim 15.
  • Wind directions within the projectile route represents the weapon warping during the goal of a significant potential source of error. For example, results from a tilt of 3 ° at a target distance of 600 meters at a Bullet drop of 3 meters a meeting point deviation of 16 cm.
  • An alignment of the Weapon under with the help of the crosshair and on site Guidance such as building edges and lampposts is not always possible. Especially when used in rough terrain, such as in the mountains, stand for Orientation of the weapon required guidance is not available.
  • a riflescope of a construction is known by the Gap deviations due to system tilting and the influence of air pressure mechanically can be compensated.
  • optical elements of the riflescope shifted to compensate for tilting. That's the way it is in the riflescope Reversing system mounted by means of a spring, so that the reversing system in dependence deflected by a tilt against the scope under the action of the spring becomes.
  • a target auxiliary device for firearms is known.
  • This Aiming device consists of a sighting device associated inclinometer for Control of the tilt angle of the firearm.
  • the inclinometer consists of a closed profile tube ring made of transparent material, which is about halfway with a liquid is filled. Place the ends of the liquid column in a mark assigned, so that from the liquid level with respect to the mark canting the weapon can be read.
  • the disadvantage of this embodiment is a Inclinometer that the viscosity of the liquid depending on the Temperature changes and thus the display accuracy depends on the temperature, what is undesirable.
  • Panoramic telescope is a tube level attached to the eyepiece housing, whose axis perpendicular to the eyepiece axis.
  • riflescopes are known in which a dragonfly as an alignment aid in a Image level is integrated.
  • this has the disadvantages of always parallax to the picture is present and that the dragonfly is often poorly visible.
  • the Functionality is limited in case of shock and temperature fluctuations.
  • the invention had the object of providing a system, which is universally applicable is and is inexpensive.
  • the invention had the object to provide a device by which the Protect an accurate alignment of the firearm even in rough terrain is possible.
  • the object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1.
  • the display device as a module form, by means of a Fastening device on a system consisting of firearm and riflescope can be attached, it is possible such a system subsequently with a Display unit to indicate a tilt.
  • Such Display device can also be used with different riflescopes.
  • the display device is a separate device, small series Numbers that have a tilting display or no tilting display have avoided.
  • the display may have at least one light-emitting element be ensured that the shooter even in poor visibility Canting clearly indicated. It can also be provided, a luminous element for Provide illumination of the display, so that the display of a tilt not the Light elements themselves serve.
  • the shooter displayed in this display device canting the weapon the shooter himself can make the correction of the alignment of the weapon, wherein the optics of the riflescope is stably stored in the rifle scope and thus a Destabilization of the finish line or the target point can not occur.
  • control device By providing a control device, it is possible to have different limits permissible tilting. It has proven to be particularly beneficial exposed to provide a control device in the still data via an interface, preferably a waterproof infrared interface can be read.
  • actuating element through which the Brightness of the light element, in particular the LED or display, are set can.
  • advantageous adjusting elements have a rotary ring, pushbutton switch, preferably two and a toggle switch exposed. It can also be provided this Actuate element to activate the display device.
  • a predetermined Signal in particular flicker signal the display of the shooter on a bad Energy status of the battery is alerted.
  • a clamping device has been particularly suitable proven so that the display device can be attached without that one Counterpart of a fastening device on the system of telescopic sight and Fastening device must be provided.
  • this display outside the field of view of the riflescope, but within the field of view of the shooter to arrange. This will be also ensures that the shooter can see the display in firing position.
  • An arrangement coaxial with the eyepiece of the riflescope has been found to be particularly advantageous exposed.
  • a riflescope 7 is fastened to the rifle 3 via a fastening 15. This Riflescope 7 is aligned such that the optical axis 17 of the riflescope 7 in a basic position parallel or approximately parallel to the barrel 5 of the rifle 3 and lies in the symmetry plane of the rifle.
  • the adjustment by entering an offset value has proved to be particularly convenient pointed out, since the assembly of the display device no special requirements be put.
  • the display device 22 is composed of the system Riflescope 7 and firearm 1 attached. There will be a calibration line parallel to the Vertical axis is arranged, anvinstrument. Then a standing with the control device Pressed element that may be formed, for example, as a button or it may be the Setting the brightness provided actuator can be used. This will be in the control device, the sensed deviation from the vertical plane to the vertical axis as Offset value is stored. This offset value is used in the following when determining a Tilting considered. Thus, it is possible the display device 22 for a Mounting on another from firearm 1 and riflescope existing system 7 with little effort to adjust. A mechanical fine adjustment is in such a System not required.
  • the riflescope 7 comprises a lens 9 and an eyepiece 11. Furthermore, the riflescope with an adjustment tower 13 for a parallax compensation and with an adjustment tower 13 for Setting a ballistic compensation provided. Furthermore, the scope 7 provided with a display device 22. This display device 22 is coaxial with Eyepiece 11 is arranged and is for indicating a tilting of the rifle 1 relative to the Vertical axis 21 provided, as described in more detail below with reference to FIG 2 becomes.
  • Fig. 2 is through the barrel 5 and the plane of symmetry of the weapon the Vertical plane 19 spanned, which runs through the rifle scope and the rifle.
  • the Vertical axis 21 is aligned according to the acting gravitational force.
  • the sharp one An angle which the vertical axis 21 encloses with the vertical plane is denoted by ⁇ . If the vertical axis 21 does not coincide with the vertical plane one speaks of a tilting of the rifle. If a rifle is tilted, then an aimed goal, such as explained in DE 22 59 913, met with a lateral offset. So results to the Example of a target distance of 600 meters and a projectile drop of 3 meters with a misunderstanding of 3 ° a meeting point deviation of 16 cm in horizontal Direction. To the shooter a reliable alignment of the weapon 1 without tilting allow the display device 22 is provided.
