Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rifle scope for shooting bell.
  • the angle modification between the barrel and the bezel is such that adjustment via a set screw becomes impractical. For angles greater than 5 or 10 °, the adjustment becomes tedious and inadequate under conditions of real commitments.
  • WO 2016/097992 describes a bezel for shooting bell comprising various mirrors, however, it does not allow to maintain a simultaneous direct view through the telescope and out of the telescope, which can pose difficulties for the initial aim, especially for high magnifications, where the field of view in the telescope is reduced. Summary of the invention
  • the present invention relates to a rifle scope for a firearm for shotguns comprising:
  • a first movable mirror defining a first optical axis, the angle of said first movable mirror being adjustable so as to return in use the image of a target at an angle of 90 ° -a to the axis of the barrel of the weapon, a being the desired difference between the elevation angle and the viewing angle for a given shot; an objective lens, on the first optical axis;
  • a second mirror at 45 ° with respect to the first optical axis, defining a second optical axis parallel to the axis of the barrel of the weapon;
  • the aiming telescope of the invention comprises at least one or a suitable combination of the following features: the telescope comprises a third mirror at 45 ° with respect to the second optical axis, defining a third optical axis parallel to the first optical axis and a fourth mirror reflecting, in use, the third optical axis to the shooter's eye;
  • the fourth mirror is movable and whose movement is controlled mechanically or electronically to the movement of the first movable mirror, so as to maintain a 90 ° angle between these two mirrors, so that the angle of view through the telescope corresponds to the angle of view out of the telescope; the fourth mirror is integral with the first movable mirror;
  • the first and fourth mirrors are two reflecting faces of the same prism
  • At least one of the mirrors is a semi-transparent mirror, a point light source or a reticle being arranged in a plane conjugated to the focal plane of the ocular lens by means of a focusing lens, the focusing lens being located in the extending the optical axis upstream of the at least one semi-transparent mirror, so as to appear, in use, superimposed on the image of the target; the lateral position of the point light source or the reticle is laterally adjustable, so as to allow azimuth deviation correction due to the Magnus effect and / or at a non-zero tilt angle;
  • the bezel comprises an inclinometer measuring the angle of cant of the weapon and an optical display adapted to project indications from an optically conjugate plane with the focal plane of the ocular lens, said optical display indicating, in use, when the angle tilt has a predetermined value;
  • the predetermined tilt angle is pre-set, non-zero, depending on the firing distance and the Magnus effect of a particular munition, the cant angle correcting the Magnus effect;
  • At least one of the mirrors is a semitransparent mirror, an illumination light source being located in the extension of the optical axis downstream of the at least one semitransparent mirror, so, in use, to illuminate the target via the first movable mirror, said light source being arranged to obtain at the output of the objective lens a plane wave beam;
  • the bezel comprises an optical image recovery device
  • the bezel comprises adjustment means of the first movable mirror, which at a firing range matches an elevation angle a;
  • said means for adjusting the first moving mirror comprise a graduated wheel in m, said wheel setting the angular position of the first movable mirror;
  • said adjustment means of the first movable mirror comprise a ballistic table and a computer connected to a rangefinder, said computer controlling in use an actuator adjusting the angular position of the movable mirror according to the measured range and the ballistics of the ammunition used.
  • FIG. 1 represents the general parameters of bell shooting using a sighting system according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows the general parameters of bell shooting using another sighting system according to the invention.
  • Figures 3 to 6 show examples of sighting glasses according to the invention.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to replace the overall movement of the bezel by the movement of a movable mirror 60, to change the line of sight 4 relative to the axis of the barrel 13 without moving the optical elements of the telescope. All the elements of the telescope of the invention can then advantageously be arranged in a fixed housing 14, which increases the robustness of the system.
  • the housing 14 is sealed by the presence of a front window 15 and a rear window 16.
  • all the elements of the telescope, including the movable elements are protected external elements (humidity, soiling, %), which makes the device particularly robust in aggressive environments (sand, rain, snow, %)
  • Figure 3 shows the simplest embodiment of the invention, which may include additional elements of the other embodiments as it will appear later.
  • the axis of view of the user 1 remains parallel to the axis of the weapon.
  • the first movable mirror position 60 is adjusted via a firing table which at a firing range matches an elevation angle a.
  • This firing table can for example take the form of a graduated wheel in m, said wheel adjusting the angular position of the first movable mirror 60.
  • the telescope includes means for adjusting the first movable mirror 60 comprise a ballistic table and a computer connected to a rangefinder, said computer controlling an actuator adjusting the angular position of the movable mirror 60 according to the measured range and the ballistics of the ammunition used.
  • the moving mirror 60 returns the line of sight 4 to an objective lens 61 cooperating with an ocular lens 63 to return an enlarged image of the target scene 2 to the user 1.
  • the device advantageously comprises a return device such as a mirror 62 or a prism.
  • the ocular lens can be replaced by recording means such as a CCD or CMOS photographic sensor.
  • the image formed by the objective lens is formed on the sensor and returned by suitable communication means to a screen, for example in a control room, or on a control console of the remote-controlled weapon system.
  • the ocular lens 63 may advantageously be a divergent lens defining a so-called Galilean geometry, which has the advantage of producing a right image of the distant object.
  • This ocular lens may be a single lens or comprise an achromatic assembly, such as an achromatic doublet or triplet.
  • the inverted image may advantageously be rectified by means of a suitable device, such as an additional lens, or a prism rectification device ( Porro, Abbe-Koenig, ).
  • a suitable device such as an additional lens, or a prism rectification device ( Porro, Abbe-Koenig, ).
  • the telescope of the invention comprises a mobile red dot superimposed on the target during the aiming.
  • This red dot is preferably obtained by a quasi-point light source 30 located in the extension of the optical axis of the eyepiece, behind the deflection device.
  • This may then comprise a semi-transparent mirror 62 or a splitter cube formed of two prisms (not shown).
  • the device then has the advantage that the moving red dot remains aligned with the target without having to move it.
  • the light source 30 is located in a plane conjugated to the focal plane of the eyepiece. This conjugation can for example be obtained by the use of a lens 31.
  • the light source can either be formed by a point source such as a small LED, it can include a needle hole controlling its size, or be part of a bright screen 32 of good resolution (LED , OLED, backlit LCD, ). In the latter case, other information can be communicated to the user by superimposing the image on the screen to the image of the target. As will be seen below, this display may for example be used to indicate to the user the angle of cant (sometimes improperly called according to the English name, cant angle).
  • the bezel of the invention also preferably comprises a designation / illumination device illuminating the target or producing a bright "spot" thereon.
  • This illumination is preferably made by means of light outside the visible wavelengths and seen for example by means of night vision goggles.
  • An example of a non-visible wavelength is the use of near infrared (IR). IR lasers of adequate power are preferably used.
  • an illumination light source 65 of suitable wavelength is disposed in the extension of the optical axis of the objective lens 61, at the rear of the deflection device 62.
  • the return device must allow both the return of the image of the target to the eyepiece 63 and the transmission of the illumination beam.
  • This return device then also comprises a semi-transparent mirror 62 or a splitter cube formed of two prisms (not shown). Again the advantage of the device allows to maintain this source still.
  • the illumination light source 65 is located in the focal plane of the objective lens, or in a plane conjugated therewith.
  • the same semi-transparent mirror may advantageously be used, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the bright red dot and the designation beam can advantageously be moved to correct the azimuth direction by laterally displacing the corresponding light sources in their respective conjugate planes.
  • FIG. 1 A device for such an effect is shown in FIG.
  • a second fixed return device 68 is added to the optical path of the telescope, returning the image to a second moving mirror 69 returning the image of the target to the eye of the user.
  • This second movable mirror 69 is slaved to the first so as to maintain an angle of 90 ° between them, so as to maintain the axis of view of the user towards the target.
  • control of the two reflective surfaces is obtained by the use of a prism 70 rotating about an axis 75.
  • a prism 70 rotating about an axis 75.
  • Such a device is shown in Figures 5 and 6.
  • an elevation of an angle is obtained by a rotation of the movable mirror 60 or the prism 70 of an angle a / 2.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 where the mirror of FIG. reference 62 has been replaced by mirrors 71, 72 and 73.
  • the telescope of the invention comprises an inclinometer measuring the angle of cant of the weapon and an optical display by means of indications projected from a plane optically conjugated with the focal plane of the ocular lens, the optical display indicating when the tilt angle is zero.
  • a cant angle correcting the Magnus effect is determined, the optical display indicating to the user when this angle of tilt is reached.
