Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a disadvantage of such riflescopes with integrated rangefinder that they necessarily have larger dimensions and a greater weight compared to conventional riflescopes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • On the side of the firearm is also a corresponding interface arranged as a counterpart to this.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a manual brightness controller can be provided for the display device or combined with the on / off switch.
  • FIG. 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 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the switch 15 is shown only schematically as a simple on / off switch.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 1 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
