Abstract

474,043. Gun-sights. CARNAN, J. C. April 22, 1936, No. 11473. [Class 92 (ii)] Relates to anti-aircraft gun-sights which are adjustable relatively to the gun barrel to bring the sight on to the burst of a previously fired shell in order to adjust the angle between gun and sight previously set up to correct for speed of target. According to the invention, a telescopic sight 1, connected to the gun so as to move synchronously therewith in elevation and training, is mounted for independent universal adjustment to set the sight for the predicted angle of advance, a pointer 18, Fig. 2, in the eyepiece 3 being also set in relation to a mark 2 in the object glass to the same predicted angle. Further, to correct the angle of advance, the line of sight 18, 2 is adjusted on to the burst and the sight then clamped in relation to the gun barrel so that the sight and gun thereafter move in conformity. In the form shown, the sight is connected with the gun by parallelmotion links adjustable by a turnbuckle 22 which alters the length of the link 12. The sight is also universally mounted in a clampable bearing 23. The pointer 18 and a complementary pointer 18<1>, used when the target reverses its direction of flight, are adjustable by means of right- and left-handed screws rotated by knobs 21.
