Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Visiervorrichtung für eine Schußwaffe nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Schußwaffe mit einer Montagemöglichkeit für eine Visiervorrichtung.The invention relates to a sighting device for a firearm according to the preamble of claim 1 and a firearm with a mounting option for a sighting device.

Die Übereinstimmung des Treffpunktes einer Schußwaffe mit dem Zielpunkt, der durch den Schützen unter Verwendung einer an der Schußwaffe angebrachten Visiervorrichtung anvisiert wird, ist bekanntlich nur für eine einzige Entfernung des Zieles von der Waffe gegeben. Im allgemeinen wird eine Schußwaffe deshalb auf eine bevorzugte Zielentfernung eingeschossen, d.h. die Visiervorrichtung unter Abgabe mehrerer Schüsse auf ein Ziel in dieser Entfernung solange verstellt, bis besagte Übereinstimmung erreicht ist. Bei einer anderen Zielentfernung muß entweder vom Schützen bewußt ein vom beabsichtigten Treffpunkt abweichender Zielpunkt anvisiert werden, oder die Visiervorrichtung muß in geeigneter Weise verstellt werden, wozu in jedem Fall die Kenntnis der aktuellen Zielentfernung nötig ist.The match of the point of impact of a firearm with the target point targeted by the shooter using a sight mounted on the firearm is known to exist only for a single distance of the target from the weapon. In general, a firearm is therefore shot at a preferred target range, i. adjusted the sighting device with several shots to a target in this distance until said match is reached. At a different target distance, either a shooter must intentionally aim at a target point deviating from the intended meeting point, or the sighting device must be suitably adjusted, in which case knowledge of the current target range is necessary in each case.

Beim Schießen im Zuge der Jagdausübung kann die Entfernung des Ziels wegen ungünstiger Beleuchtungsverhältnisse oder eines unübersichtlichen Geländes vom Schützen häufig nur relativ ungenau geschätzt werden, was eine entsprechend ungenaue Trefferlage zur Folge hat. Nachdem das Hantieren mit einem separaten Entfernungsmesser bei der Jagdausübung aus offensichtlichen Gründen unerwünscht ist, wurden Visiervorrichtungen mit integriertem Entfernungsmesser entwickelt. So lehrt die DE 44 38 955 A1 ein Zielfernrohr mit einem integrierten Entfernungsmesser auf Laserbasis. Eine Laserdiode strahlt durch die Zieloptik ein Meßsignal ab, das vom Ziel reflektiert und ebenfalls durch die Zieloptik von einem Lichtempfänger aufgenommen wird. Eine Auswertungselektronik ermittelt die Zielentfernung und steuert eine Anzeigeeinheit an, deren Bild in das Sichtfeld des Schützen eingespiegelt wird. Sämtliche Komponenten des Entfernungsmessers einschließlich seiner Stromversorgung sind innerhalb des Zielfernrohres angeordnet.When shooting in the course of hunting practice, the distance of the target due to unfavorable lighting conditions or a confusing terrain by the shooter are often estimated to be relatively inaccurate, resulting in a correspondingly inaccurate hit result. Since handling a separate range finder in hunting practice is undesirable for obvious reasons, sighting devices with integrated rangefinder have been developed. Thus, DE 44 38 955 A1 teaches a riflescope with an integrated laser-based rangefinder. A laser diode emits a measurement signal through the target optics, which is reflected by the target and also picked up by the target optics of a light receiver. An evaluation electronics determines the target distance and controls a display unit whose image is reflected in the field of view of the shooter. All of the rangefinder components, including its power supply, are located within the riflescope.

Nachteilig ist an solchen Zielfernrohren mit integriertem Entfernungsmesser, daß sie im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Zielfernrohren zwangsläufig größere Abmessungen und ein größeres Gewicht aufweisen. Ferner muß ein in ein Zielfernrohr integrierter Entfernungsmesser durch einen Schalter am Zielfernrohr ein- und ausgeschaltet werden. Wenn der Schütze in Anschlag geht und die Waffe feuerbereit macht, ohne vorher den Entfernungsmesser einzuschalten, dann muß er zum nachträglichen Einschalten die feuerbereite Waffe einhändig halten, was unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Sicherheit unerwünscht ist. Gleiches gilt, wenn den Schützen die Entfernungsanzeige im Sichtfeld bei der eigentlichen Schußabgabe stört und er sie deshalb unmittelbar vor dieser ausschalten möchte.A disadvantage of such riflescopes with integrated rangefinder that they necessarily have larger dimensions and a greater weight compared to conventional riflescopes. Further, a rangefinder integrated into a scope has to be turned on and off by a switch on the scope. If the shooter goes to the attack and fires the weapon without first turning on the rangefinder, then he must hold the firearm weapon with one hand for subsequent switching, which is undesirable from the security point of view. The same applies if the shooter disturbed the distance display in the field of view at the actual firing and he therefore wants to turn off immediately before this.

In Anbetracht dieses Standes der Technik liegt die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, eine Lösung für die Entfernungsmessung beim Schießen zu schaffen, die eine möglichst kompakte und leichte Bauweise der Visiervorrichtung ermöglicht und sich durch eine sichere und komfortable Handhabung auszeichnet.In view of this prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a solution for the distance measurement during shooting, which allows a compact and lightweight construction of the sighting device and is characterized by a safe and comfortable handling.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Visiervorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und durch eine Schußwaffe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den jeweiligen Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a sighting device with the features of claim 1 and by a firearm with the features of claim 7. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the respective subclaims.

Der Kerngedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, die Bestandteile eines Entfernungsmessers nicht allein in einer Visiervorrichtung zu konzentrieren, sondern sie in zweckmäßiger Weise auf die Visiervorrichtung und die Schußwaffe zu verteilen. Dabei ist in oder an der Visiervorrichtung eine Anzeigeeinrichtung angeordnet, um dem Schützen das Ergebnis der Entfernungsmessung in seinem Sichtfeld anzuzeigen. Ferner ist seitens der Visiervorrichtung eine Schnittstelle zur Kommunikation mit den externen, d.h. der Schußwaffe zugeordneten Komponenten des Entfernungsmessers vorgesehen. Auf der Seite der Schußwaffe ist als Gegenstück hierzu ebenfalls eine entsprechende Schnittstelle angeordnet.The core idea of the invention is not to concentrate the components of a rangefinder alone in a sighting device, but to distribute them expediently on the sighting device and the firearm. In this case, a display device is arranged in or on the sighting device in order to display to the shooter the result of the distance measurement in his field of vision. Further, on the part of the sighting device is an interface for communicating with the external, i. provided the firearm associated components of the rangefinder. On the side of the firearm is also a corresponding interface arranged as a counterpart to this.

Obgleich der Schußwaffe theoretisch alle Komponenten des Entfernungsmessers außer der Anzeigeeinrichtung zugeordnet sein könnten, ist es zweckmäßig, bei einer Messung auf der Basis eines vom Ziel reflektierten optischen Signals, insbesondere in Form eines Laserstrahls, den Empfänger der Visiervorrichtung zuzuordnen, da in diesem Fall deren Optik zur Fokussierung des reflektierten Lichtes auf den Empfänger mitverwendet werden kann.Although the firearm could theoretically be associated with all components of the rangefinder other than the display device, it is expedient, in the case of a measurement on the basis of an optical signal reflected by the target, in particular in the form of a laser beam, Assign the receiver of the sighting device, since in this case their optics can be used to focus the reflected light on the receiver.

In diesem Fall bietet es sich ferner an, der Visiervorrichtung auch eine Signalverarbeitungselektronik zur Auswertung des empfangenen Signals zuzuordnen und dieser über die Schnittstelle ggf. zur Ermittlung der Zielentfernung noch benötigte Informationen mitzuteilen. In diesem Fall können der Sender sowie die Steuerelektronik, die das Sendesignal erzeugt, auf der Seite der Schußwaffe angeordnet sein. Dies hat erstens den Vorteil, daß ein direktes optisches Übersprechen vom Sender zum Empfänger ohne großen Aufwand vermieden wird. Zweitens kann der im Vergleich zum Empfänger im allgemeinen höhere Stromverbrauch des Senders aus einer eigenen Energiequelle in der Schußwaffe gedeckt werden, wobei die Unterbringung von Batterien im Schaft eines Gewehrs wesentlich unproblematischer ist als im Gehäuse eines Zielfernrohrs.In this case, it is also advisable to assign the sighting device and a signal processing electronics for the evaluation of the received signal and this information about the interface, if necessary, to determine the target distance still required information. In this case, the transmitter and the control electronics which generates the transmission signal may be arranged on the side of the firearm. This firstly has the advantage that a direct optical crosstalk from the transmitter to the receiver is avoided without much effort. Second, the generally higher power consumption of the transmitter compared to the receiver can be covered by its own energy source in the firearm, with the placement of batteries in the shaft of a rifle much less problematic than in the case of a riflescope.

Als sehr zweckmäßig erscheint für die Schnittstelle eine drahtlose, und dabei insbesondere eine optische Realisierung, wobei die passende Ausrichtung der beiden Seiten zueinander wegen der genau vorbestimmten Position einer korrekt montierten Visiervorrichtung auf dem Lauf einer Schußwaffe ohne weiteres erreichbar ist.For the interface appears to be very useful wireless, and in particular an optical implementation, the appropriate orientation of the two sides to each other because of the exact predetermined position of a correctly mounted sighting device on the barrel of a firearm is readily achievable.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Konzeptes besteht in der Möglichkeit, einen Schalter zum manuellen Ein- und/oder Ausschalten der Meßeinrichtung an einer ergonomisch günstigen Stelle zu plazieren, d.h. insbesondere im Fall einer Langwaffe am Vorderschaft, wo eine Langwaffe im Anschlag üblicherweise mit der zweiten Hand gehalten wird. Der Schütze muß in diesem Fall die normale Anschlaghaltung nicht aufgeben, um die Meßeinrichtung ein-oder auszuschalten. Dabei kann außer dem Ein-/Ausschalter auch ein manueller Helligkeitsregler für die Anzeigeeinrichtung vorgesehen oder mit dem Ein-/Ausschalter kombiniert sein.Another advantage of the inventive concept is the possibility of placing a switch for manually switching on and / or off the measuring device in an ergonomically favorable location, i. especially in the case of a long gun on the forend, where a long gun is usually held in the attack with the second hand. The shooter must not give up the normal stop position in this case, to turn the meter on or off. In this case, in addition to the on / off switch and a manual brightness controller can be provided for the display device or combined with the on / off switch.

Ferner ist es auch möglich, Funktionsorgane der Schußwaffe so mit einem oder mehreren Schaltern im Betriebsstromkreis der Meßeinrichtung zu koppeln, daß letztere immer dann eingeschaltet wird, wenn die Waffe feuerbereit gemacht wird, und immer dann ausgeschaltet wird, wenn die Feuerbereitschaft aufgehoben wird. Hierdurch kann einerseits das rechtzeitige Einschalten der Meßeinrichtung nicht vergessen werden, andererseits wird eine unnötige Erschöpfung der Energiequelle vermieden. Diese Zwangsschaltung kann auch mit einer manuellen Schaltung kombiniert sein, die gegenüber der Zwangsschaltung Vorrang hat.Furthermore, it is also possible to couple functional organs of the firearm with one or more switches in the operating circuit of the measuring device, that the latter is always turned on when the weapon is made ready to fire, and is always turned off when the fire readiness is lifted. As a result, on the one hand, the timely activation of the measuring device can not be forgotten, on the other hand, an unnecessary Exhaustion of the energy source avoided. This forced circuit can also be combined with a manual circuit, which has priority over the positive circuit.

Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben. In dieser zeigt die einzige Figur 1 einen Ausschnitt einer mit einer Visiervorrichtung bestückten Schußwaffe, wobei eine Entfernungsmeßeinrichtung erfindungsgemäß auf die Visiervorrichtung und die Schußwaffe verteilt ist.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawing. 1 shows a detail of a firearm equipped with a sighting device, wherein a distance measuring device according to the invention is distributed on the sighting device and the firearm.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Visiervorrichtung 1 in Form eines Zielfernrohres, die auf einer Schußwaffe 2 in Form eines Jagdgewehrs mittels einer nicht gezeigten Montage bekannter Art befestigt ist. Die Visiervorrichtung 1 enthält eine Optik und ein Absehen, beispielsweise in Form eines Fadenkreuzes, die ebenfalls nicht gezeigt sind.Fig. 1 shows a sighting device 1 in the form of a riflescope, which is mounted on a firearm 2 in the form of a hunting rifle by means of a mounting, not shown, known type. The sighting device 1 includes an optic and a reticle, for example in the form of a reticule, which are also not shown.

In den Vorderschaft 3 der Schußwaffe 2 sind ein optischer Sender 4 in Form einer Laserdiode, eine Steuerelektronik 5, die einen Signalgenerator zur Erzeugung des durch den Sender 4 abzustrahlenden Signals enthält, sowie eine Energiequelle 6 in Form einer Batterie zur Versorgung des Senders 4 und der Steuerelektronik 5 angeordnet. Der Signalgenerator der Steuerelektronik 5 erzeugt ein charakteristisches Signal, welches von dem Sender 4 in Richtung auf das von dem Schützen anvisierte Ziel abgestrahlt wird. Zur Bündelung des Laserstrahls 7 kann dabei noch eine in der Figur nicht dargestellte Miniaturoptik vorgesehen sein. Der von dem Ziel reflektierte Laserstrahl 8 fällt auf einen in der Visiervorrichtung 1 angeordneten Empfänger 9 in Form einer Fotodiode oder eines Fotodiodenarrays und wird nach der Umwandlung in ein elektrisches Signal einer Signalverarbeitungselektronik 10 zugeführt.In the forend 3 of the firearm 2 are an optical transmitter 4 in the form of a laser diode, an electronic control unit 5, which contains a signal generator for generating the radiated by the transmitter 4 signal, and an energy source 6 in the form of a battery for the supply of the transmitter 4 and the Control electronics 5 arranged. The signal generator of the electronic control unit 5 generates a characteristic signal, which is emitted by the transmitter 4 in the direction of the targeted by the shooter target. To bundle the laser beam 7 while a miniature optics not shown in the figure can be provided. The laser beam 8 reflected from the target is incident on a receiver 9 arranged in the sighting device 1 in the form of a photodiode or a photodiode array and is supplied to signal processing electronics 10 after being converted into an electrical signal.

Sowohl an der Visiervorrichtung 1, als auch an der Schußwaffe 2 ist jeweils eine Kommunikationsschnittstelle in Form eines Infrarot-Empfängers 11 bzw. eines Infrarot-Senders 12 vorgesehen. Infrarot-Kommunikationsschnittstellen dieser Art sind beispielsweise aus der drahtlosen Datenkommunikation im Bereich der Peripheriegeräte von Personal Computern bekannt. Obgleich hier im Grundsatz jede Art von drahtloser Kommunikation in Frage kommt, erscheint eine optische Kommunikation insofern als besonders zweckmäßig, als durch die genau definierte Position einer korrekt montierten Visiervorrichtung 1 auf dem Lauf einer Schußwaffe 2 von vornherein eine exakte Ausrichtung des Empfängers 11 an der Visiervorrichtung 1 zum Sender 12 an der Schußwaffe 2 gegeben ist. Durch die drahtlose Verbindung erübrigen sich Steckverbinder, die zwar grundsätzlich auch eine Möglichkeit zur Realisierung der erfindungsgemäße Systempartitionierung einer Entfernungsmeßeinrichtung darstellen, für die Verwendung an Jagdwaffen unter den Gesichtspunkten des Komforts, der Ästhetik und der Zuverlässigkeit aber als wenig attraktiv erscheinen.A communication interface in the form of an infrared receiver 11 or an infrared transmitter 12 is provided both on the sighting device 1 and on the firearm 2. Infrared communication interfaces of this type are known, for example, from wireless data communication in the field of peripheral devices of personal computers. Although in principle any type of wireless communication comes into question here, an optical communication appears to be particularly useful insofar as by the well-defined position of a correctly mounted sighting device 1 on the barrel of a firearm 2 from the outset an exact alignment of the receiver 11 to the sighting device 1 is given to the transmitter 12 on the firearm 2. Through the wireless Connection is unnecessary plug connectors, which in principle also represent a possibility for the realization of the system partitioning of a distance measuring device according to the invention, but for the use of hunting weapons under the aspects of comfort, aesthetics and reliability but appear to be less attractive.

Über den Infrarot-Sender 12 und den Infrarot-Empfänger 11 wird der Signalverarbeitungsschaltung 10 in der Visiervorrichtung 1 das von dem Signalgenerator in der Steuerelektronik 5 erzeugte Sendesignal übermittelt, mit dem der Sender 4 angesteuert wird. Es versteht sich, daß die Zeitdifferenz zwischen der Abstrahlung des Laserstrahls 7 durch den Sender 4 und dem Einfallen des reflektierten Laserstrahls 8 auf den Empfänger 9 proportional zur Entfernung des anvisierten Ziels ist. Wenn die Signallaufzeiten des Sendesignals von der Steuerelektronik 5 zum Sender 4 einerseits und zur Signalverarbeitungselektronik 10 andererseits sowie die Signallaufzeit vom Empfänger 9 zur Signalverarbeitungselektronik 10 bekannt sind, dann kann in der Signalverarbeitungselektronik 10 aus der Zeitdifferenz zwischen dem Eintreffen eines bestimmten Signalmusters von der Steuerelektronik 5 und dem Eintreffen des entsprechenden Signalmusters von dem Empfänger 9 die Laufzeit der Laserstrahlen 7 und 8 und daraus die Zielentfernung ermittelt werden.About the infrared transmitter 12 and the infrared receiver 11, the signal processing circuit 10 is transmitted in the sighting device 1, the transmission signal generated by the signal generator in the control electronics 5, with which the transmitter 4 is driven. It is understood that the time difference between the emission of the laser beam 7 by the transmitter 4 and the collision of the reflected laser beam 8 on the receiver 9 is proportional to the distance of the targeted target. If the signal propagation times of the transmission signal from the control electronics 5 to the transmitter 4 on the one hand and the signal processing electronics 10 on the other hand and the signal delay from the receiver 9 to the signal processing electronics 10 are known, then in the signal processing electronics 10 from the time difference between the arrival of a specific signal pattern from the control electronics 5 and the arrival of the corresponding signal pattern from the receiver 9, the duration of the laser beams 7 and 8 and therefrom the target distance are determined.

Die ermittelte Zielentfernung wird von der Signalverarbeitungselektronik auf einer elektronischen Anzeigeeinrichtung 13 ausgegeben. Dem Schützen wird diese Entfernung in seinem Sichtfeld angezeigt, indem ein Abbild der Anzeigeeinrichtung 13 in eine geeignete Bildebene im Strahlengang der Visiervorrichtung 1 eingespiegelt wird. Außer dem Empfänger 9, der Signalverarbeitungselektronik 10 und der Anzeigeeinrichtung 13 enthält die Visiervorrichtung 1 zur Stromversorgung der ihr zugeordneten Komponenten der Entfernungsmeßeinrichtung noch eine eigene Energiequelle 14 in Form einer Batterie.The determined target distance is output by the signal processing electronics on an electronic display device 13. The shooter is shown this distance in his field of view by an image of the display device 13 is reflected in a suitable image plane in the beam path of the sighting device 1. In addition to the receiver 9, the signal processing electronics 10 and the display device 13 includes the sighting device 1 for powering the associated components of the distance measuring nor a separate power source 14 in the form of a battery.

Ein Schalter 15 zum Ein- und Ausschalten der gesamten Meßeinrichtung ist auf der Seite der Schußwaffe 2 am Vorderschaft 3 derselben angeordnet, wo er für einen die Schußwaffe 2 im Anschlag haltenden Schützen griffgünstig , liegt. Durch den Schalter 15 wird nicht nur derjenige Teil der Entfernungsmeßeinrichtung, welche der Schußwaffe 2 zugeordnet ist, ein- bzw. ausgeschaltet. Vielmehr sendet die Steuerelektronik 5 über den Infrarot-Sender 12 und den Infrarot-Empfänger 11 auch entsprechende Kommandosignale an den der Visiereinrichtung 1 zugeordneten Teil der Meßeinrichtung, woraufhin die Signalverarbeitungselektronik 10 die Anzeigeeinrichtung 13 aktiviert bzw. deaktiviert und selbst zwischen einem aktiven Betriebszustand und einem Bereitschaftszustand (Standby-Betrieb) mit nur minimalem Stromverbrauch umschaltet. Dabei ist der Schalter 15 nur schematisch als einfacher Ein/Aus-Schalter dargestellt. Falls er zusätzlich eine Funktion zur Helligkeitsregulierung der Anzeigeeinrichtung 13 beinhalten soll, dann kann ein entsprechendes Steuersignal von der Steuerelektronik 5 aus der Stellung eines in diesem Fall beispielsweise als Stufenschalter ausgebildeten Schalters 15 im Zeitmultiplexbetrieb zusätzlich zu dem Signal, mit dem der Sender 4 angesteuert wird, über den Infrarot-Sender 12 und den Infrarot-Empfänger 11 an die Signalverarbeitungsschaltung 10 übertragen werden, woraufhin diese die Anzeigeeinrichtung 13 entsprechend in der Helligkeit reguliert.A switch 15 for switching on and off the entire measuring device is arranged on the side of the firearm 2 on the forearm 3, where it is convenient for a shooter 2 in the stop holding shooter. By the switch 15 is not only that part of the distance measuring, which is associated with the firearm 2, on or off. Rather, sends the control electronics 5 via the infrared transmitter 12 and the infrared receiver 11 and corresponding command signals to the sighting device 1 associated part of the measuring device, whereupon the Signal processing electronics 10, the display device 13 is activated or deactivated and even switches between an active operating state and a standby state (standby mode) with only minimal power consumption. In this case, the switch 15 is shown only schematically as a simple on / off switch. If it is to additionally include a function for regulating the brightness of the display device 13, then a corresponding control signal from the control electronics 5 from the position of a trained in this case, for example, as a tap changer switch 15 in time division multiplex operation in addition to the signal with which the transmitter 4 is driven, are transmitted via the infrared transmitter 12 and the infrared receiver 11 to the signal processing circuit 10, whereupon this regulates the display device 13 in accordance with the brightness.

In Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt ist die Möglichkeit, daß der Schalter 15 auch mit Funktionsorganen der Schußwaffe 2 so gekoppelt werden kann, daß durch die Herstellung und Aufhebung der Feuerbereitschaft die Meßeinrichtung zwangsweise ein- bzw. ausgeschaltet wird. Eine solche Kopplung kann in einfacher Weise dadurch realisiert werden, daß der Schalter 15 vom Vorderschaft 3 weg in die Nähe der Spann- und Abzugsmechanismen der Schußwaffe 2 verlegt und mechanisch mit diesen gekoppelt wird. Es kann aber dort auch ein zusätzlicher Schalter vorgesehen werden, der für besagte zwangsweise Ein- und Ausschaltung sorgt, und dessen Zustand mit demjenigen des Schalters 15 am Vorderschaft 3 von der Steuerelektronik 5 so verknüpft wird, daß die Zwangsschaltung der manuellen Schaltung nur überlagert wird und der Betriebszustand der Meßeinrichtung jederzeit manuell gewechselt werden kann.Not shown in Fig. 1 is the possibility that the switch 15 can also be coupled with functional organs of the firearm 2 so that the measuring device is forcibly switched on or off by the production and cancellation of readiness for fire. Such a coupling can be realized in a simple manner in that the switch 15 is moved away from the forearm 3 in the vicinity of the clamping and withdrawal mechanisms of the firearm 2 and is mechanically coupled thereto. But there may also be provided an additional switch which provides for said forced switching on and off, and whose state is linked to that of the switch 15 on the forend 3 of the control electronics 5 so that the forced circuit of the manual circuit is only superimposed and the operating state of the measuring device can be changed manually at any time.

Die Stromkreise bzw. Signalpfade sind in Fig. 1 nur schematisch durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet. Diese Linien sollen lediglich das grundsätzliche Bestehen von Verbindungen zum Ausdruck bringen und nicht etwa eine bestimmte schaltungstechnische Topologie dieser Verbindungen, etwa im Sinne einer Ringstruktur. Die in Fig. 1 dargestellten elektronischen bzw. optoelektronischen Komponenten sind sämtlich als solche bekannt und ihre schaltungstechnische Verknüpfung im einzelnen stellt für den Fachmann keine Schwierigkeit dar. Wesentlich ist an der Darstellung, daß die Komponenten in der gezeigten Weise auf die Visiervorrichtung 1 und die Schußwaffe 2 verteilt sind, und daß es nur eine einzige Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Teilbereichen in Form der Schnittstellen 11 und 12 gibt.The circuits or signal paths are indicated in Fig. 1 only schematically by dashed lines. These lines are merely intended to express the fundamental existence of connections and not a specific circuit topology of these connections, for example in the sense of a ring structure. The illustrated in Fig. 1 electronic or optoelectronic components are all known as such and their circuit connection in detail does not represent a difficulty for the expert. It is essential to the representation that the components in the manner shown on the sighting device 1 and the firearm 2 are distributed, and that there is only a single connection between these two sections in the form of the interfaces 11 and 12.
