Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an aiming device for various guns, and in particular, an aiming dot for aiming an object with a light source and a reflecting lens is used in different colors, for example, different colors. A gun sighting device that can be shaped.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A sighting device using this type of conventional optical system includes a light source of a single color, a switch provided with a brightness adjusting means for the light source, and an eye of the shooter by reflecting a light beam from the light source. It consisted of a reflective lens to project as a dot for aiming at.

[0003]

According to the above conventional example,
Since the color of the light source is a single color, even if the brightness of the dots is adjusted, there is a big problem that it cannot be used properly according to the surrounding light and darkness and cannot be used properly according to the long and short distances. This is because the light source has a single color and the dots have a single shape.

Therefore, the present invention was developed in order to solve the problems of the above conventional example. That is, the present invention
The dots are multicolored so that they can be selectively used according to the surrounding light and shade, and the dots are formed in, for example, an 8-character shape so that they can be selectively used according to the long and short distances.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a sighting device of an optical system, a light source is composed of one diode having two or more light emitting elements which respectively emit light,
The aiming device of the gun is mainly configured by forming a small hole for guiding the light beam from the light source to the reflecting lens in an 8 shape and forming the reflecting surface by the coating of the reflecting lens.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the color of the dot can be selectively used according to the brightness of the surroundings. That is, when the surroundings are bright, a color that allows the dots to be recognized well even when the surroundings are bright is used, and when the surroundings are dark, a color that allows the dots to be recognized well even when the surroundings are dark is used. Further, in the present invention, the dots are formed in an 8-character shape and can be used properly according to the long and short distances. That is, one of the 8-shaped dots is for long distance and the other dot is for short distance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Each drawing is an embodiment of the constitution of the present invention, and is mainly an optical explanatory view. In the drawings, the same reference numerals refer to the same things. In FIG. 1, 1 is a part of the aiming device, 2 is a reflecting lens, and the surface of the reflecting lens 2 is coated with a reflecting surface 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a light source, and as the light source 4, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, one diode 7 having two or more light emitting elements 5 and 6 for individually emitting light is used.

For the sake of explanation, it is assumed that the light emitting element 5 emits red light and the light emitting element 6 emits green light. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the light source 4 is housed in a part of the aiming device, and its light beam is optically emitted toward the reflecting lens through a circular small hole 8, for example. 9 is a dot and 10
Is the eye of the shooter.

In FIG. 1, in order to obtain, for example, a red dot 9, the light emitting element 5 of the light source 4 is caused to emit light, and the light beam is optically reflected by the reflecting lens 2 through the small hole 8 and is used for aiming. A red dot 9 of is obtained. Further, for example, in order to obtain the green dot 9, the light emitting element 6 is caused to emit light, and the light beam is reflected by the reflecting lens through the small hole 8 to obtain the green dot for aiming.

Further, in FIG. 1, for example, 8 shown in FIG.
It is possible to obtain character-shaped dots 11. This dot 11
Uses one dot for long distance and the other dot for short distance. To form such dots 11, it is possible to form the circular small holes into 8-shaped small holes 12 as shown in FIG.

FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which an 8-shaped dot 11 is obtained by the reflecting lens 2. In FIG.
3 emits a single color, and the reflection surfaces 3 are formed on the front and back surfaces of the reflection lens 2 by coating. When the reflecting lens 2 is irradiated with the light beam from the light source, a dot similar to the above-mentioned 8-shaped dot 11 is obtained due to the optical positional relationship between the light source and the reflecting lens.

The aiming is completed by aligning the above-mentioned dot with the target position of the target object. The shape of the dot is not limited to the above shape, and any shape may be used depending on the application. In addition to the original reflection function, the coating can have a colored function for dots.

FIG. 9 is a plan view of a switch portion of the above light source, which has a brightness adjusting means for a light source having two light emitting elements, and shows the positions of the switches with respect to the two light emitting elements.
The relationship between the color of the light source and the brightness thereof is shown. Reference numeral 14 is a knob of the switch, and 1 to 5 indicate that the dots become brighter as the number increases. Indicates the OFF position of the switch. The switching of the two-color light emitting elements including the knob and the brightness adjustment is not limited to the one shown in FIG. 9, but can be made possible by rotating the knob in either the left or right direction, for example. Incidentally, the above-mentioned switch also has a function of a power switch, and therefore, there is a drawback that the battery is exhausted if the switch is forgotten to be turned off. This can be prevented by attaching a known circuit that automatically turns off after a lapse of a predetermined time after the switch is turned on.

[0014]

As described above, the present invention uses the color of dots, for example, when the surroundings are bright, the colors where the surroundings are bright and looks good, and when the surroundings are dark, the colors are visible well. Can be used properly.
Further, the dots can be formed in an 8-character shape, and one dot can be used for long distance and the other dot can be used for short distance. Therefore, by applying the present invention to the aiming device, its performance and function can be improved.
