Abstract
dual focal plane optical sighting device, such as a riflescope, having two focal planes, with a first reticle at the first focal plane, and a second reticle at the second focal plane. The reticle at the first focal plane is a glass etched reticle; the reticle at the second focal plane is a wire reticle. The two reticles have different patterns or markings providing the appearance of a single reticle or complementary markings when viewed through the optical sighting device. Neither reticle includes stadia lines.
Claims (18)
1. An l sighting device comprising: a body with a first end and a second end and having a center axis; an objective lens system disposed within the body; an eyepiece lens disposed within the body; an r lens system ed within the body; the objective lens system, eyepiece lens, and erector lens system g an optical system having a first focal plane and a second focal plane, the first focal plane proximate the objective lens system and the second focal plane proximate the eyepiece lens; a first reticle at the first focal plane having at least one subtension marking and no stadia lines; and a second reticle at the second focal plane having a horizontal stadia line and a al stadia line; wherein the first reticle and the second reticle provide complementary gs creating the appearance of a single reticle when viewed along the center axis.
2. The optical sighting device of Claim 1, wherein the first reticle is a glass etched reticle.
3. The optical sighting device of Claim 1, wherein the second reticle is a wire reticle.
4. The optical sighting device of Claim 2, wherein the first reticle includes mil dot markings.
5. The optical sighting device of Claim 1, wherein the first reticle has a pattern of markings.
6. The optical sighting device of Claim 1, wherein the second reticle includes at least one target dot.
7. The optical sighting device of Claim 6, wherein the at least one target dot is illuminated by an LED.
8. The optical sighting device of Claim 7, n the at least one target dot comprises an optic fiber having a first end and a second end, wherein light enters the first end and illuminates the second end.
9. The optical sighting device of Claim 8, wherein the optic fiber includes a light collector at the first end.
10. The optical sighting device of Claim 8, wherein the second end includes an angled cut wherein the light reflects off of the angled cut.
11. The optical sighting device of Claim 8, wherein the optic fiber is d with and tracks along a stadia line.
12. The optical ng device of Claim 1, wherein either the first reticle or the second reticle is a wire reticle.
13. The optical ng device of Claim 12, wherein the second reticle is a wire reticle having at least one target dot illuminated by an LED, the target dot comprising an optic fiber having a first end and a second end, the first end including a light collector and the second end including an angled cut wherein the light from the LED passes through the optic fiber and reflects off of the angled cut.
14. An optical sighting device comprising: a body with a first end and a second end and having a center axis; an objective lens system disposed within the body; an eyepiece lens disposed within the body; an erector lens system ed within the body; the objective lens system, eyepiece lens, and erector lens system forming an optical system having a first focal plane and a second focal plane, the first focal plane proximate the objective lens system and the second focal plane proximate the ce lens; a first reticle at the first focal plane having at least one subtension marking and no stadia lines; and a second reticle at the second focal plane having a horizontal line and a vertical stadia line; wherein the first reticle and the second reticle provide complementary markings creating the appearance of a single e when viewed along the center axis.
15. The optical sighting device of Claim 14, wherein the second reticle has at least one target dot illuminated by an LED, the target dot comprising an optic fiber having a first end and a second end, the first end including a light collector and the second end including an angled cut wherein the light from the LED passes through the optic fiber and reflects off of the angled cut.
16. The optical sighting device of Claim 15, wherein the optic fiber is aligned with and tracks along a stadia line.
17. An optical system for use in an optical ng device, the optical system comprising: an objective lens system; an r system; an eyepiece; a glass etched reticle located at a first focal plane between the objective lens system and the erector , the glass etched reticle having a marking n and no stadia lines; and a wire reticle at a second focal plane between the erector system and the eyepiece, the wire reticle including a horizontal stadia line and a vertical stadia line; wherein the g pattern of the glass etched reticle appears to be superimposed on the stadia lines of the wire e when the reticles are viewed through the eyepiece.
18. The optical system of Claim 17, wherein the wire reticle at the second focal plane further comprises an illuminated feature. "“““““ Z1/14”“.
