Description

The invention relates to guidance systems, in particular to aiming devices, for example, small arms, laser rangefinders and laser thermometers, navigational instruments of ships and aircraft, geodetic and topographic equipment.

Known sighting device containing front and rear locking elements (see. Great Soviet Encyclopedia (30 volumes) Edited by AM Prokhorov. - 3rd edition. M: "Soviet Encyclopedia. 1974., T.5 , p. 89). A sighting device is known in which the aiming stump is equipped with two vertical thread-like elements (see copyright certificate SU 848966 A).

The disadvantages of these sighting devices are low efficiency, low accuracy and accuracy when firing at long distances, the difficulty of controlling the position of the weapon in horizontal and vertical surfaces, the inconvenience of pointing, including at night, the significant time required for guidance, the low aiming range, low reliability, limitation of the field of view, the difficulty of controlling the installation of weapons in the required position, in the vertical and horizontal planes.

Known sighting device containing front and rear locking elements (application for the Russian invention "sighting device" No. 99103186). The disadvantages of this sighting device are the difficulty of controlling the position of the weapon in two planes, the inconvenience of pointing at night, the front and rear fixation elements are poorly distinguishable at dusk and at night, the difficulty of combining the aiming point and fixation elements.

Known sighting device (US 2909838 A) in which the elements of the sight, made in the form of a cross or any other geometric shape, can be made of conductive material, and an electric current or field (for example, magnetic or electric) can be passed through it to change the temperature of the sighting elements sighting device (heating or cooling) and the glow in the dark of these sighting elements.

The disadvantages of this sighting device are the difficulty of controlling the installation of weapons in the correct position, in two planes vertically and horizontally, the inconvenience of pointing at night. In the known sighting device, the locking element is made in the form of a solid cross, the cross is solid, exists regardless of the position of the sight and small arms in space, when looking at the sight, the cross is always observed in the field of view of the shooter, regardless of the position of the gun barrel in the horizontal and vertical . In this device, the shooter combines the center of the cross with the aim of without needing to give the weapon the correct position in space, orienting it vertically and horizontally, which reduces accuracy. This device does not contain front and rear elements of the sight, does not contain two fixation elements forming an arrow in the field of view, when the weapon is installed in the only “correct” position in the horizontal and vertical planes, a clear geometric figure, for example in the shape of a cross, allows to evaluate the accuracy of orientation weapons in two planes when combining the front element of the sight containing the front locking element and the rear element of the sight containing the rear locking element.

The aim of the invention is to increase the effectiveness of the sighting device (improving accuracy and accuracy of fire over long distances, improving the convenience of pointing (including at night), reducing the guidance time, increasing the aiming range, increasing reliability, expanding the field of view, facilitating control of the installation of weapons in a vertical plane) .

The technical result consists in increasing the ability to control the position of the weapon in two planes, with increasing the possibility of aiming in the dark, which improves the efficiency of aiming.

The technical result is achieved in that the sighting device contains front and rear sight elements, the front sight element contains a "V" -shaped front locking element, the rear sight element contains a "V" -shaped rear locking element, the front and rear locking elements, in projection on the plane perpendicular to the line of sight (when looking at the arrow in the sight) form an integral geometric figure in the shape of a cross, the fixing elements have the property of glow in the dark. Moreover, the fixing elements can be made of conductive material, and an electric current or field (for example, magnetic or electric) can be passed through them to change the temperature of the fixing elements (heating or cooling) and ensure their glow in the dark. In addition, the fixation elements of the sighting device can be coated with a substance that emits light spontaneously (for example, phosphorus or salts of radioactive materials) or when radiation or a field (for example, magnetic or electric) gets on this substance to glow in the dark. Also, the elements of the sighting device can be manufactured and installed in a working position inside a hollow pipe of round or any other section.

Graphic materials:

FIG. 1 - shows a view of a common sighting device;

FIG. 2 - front (A) and rear (B) fixing elements and their projection (B) are shown on a plane perpendicular to the line of sight, the projection forms the shape of a cross;

FIG. 3 - shows the aiming scheme (the case of the rear tube is not shown conditionally): on the left, the front and rear fixing elements are not aligned when the arrow is in the sight, i.e. the weapon is in the wrong position in the horizontal and vertical planes; in the center, the front and rear fixation elements are combined, when you look at the arrow in the sight, they form a “cross” shape ie the weapon is in the correct position in horizontal and vertical planes; the front and rear fixation elements are combined to the right, when looking at the arrow in the sight they form a “cross” figure, the intersection point of the horizontal and vertical lines of the cross is pointed at the target; those. the weapon is in the correct position in horizontal and vertical planes and is aimed exactly at the target,

FIG. 4 - presents possible options for the position of the front and rear fixing elements, when looking at the sight, depending on the position of the weapon in space, providing the ability to accurately control the position of the weapon in two planes, horizontal and vertical, depending on the shape of the intersection of the lines of the cross; options are shown in which the shooter is able to determine aiming errors, deviation up, down, left, right (the case of the rear tube is not shown conditionally), also shows the option of the correct position (a flat figure of a cross in the sight).

The implementation of the invention.

The sighting device contains front and rear elements of the sight, made in the form of a front tube 1 and a rear tube 2 (figure 1). The front sight element contains a "V" -shaped front locking element, the rear sight element contains a "V" -shaped rear locking element, for this, "V" -shaped locking elements are installed inside the tubes 1 and 2: the front locking element 3 (Fig. 2 view A) and the rear locking element 4 (figure 2 view B). In the projection onto the plane perpendicular to the line of sight, the front 3 and rear 4 fixation elements (when looking into the scope, Fig. 1 view B) form an integral geometric figure in the shape of a cross (Fig. 2 view B), fixation elements have the property of glow in the dark. The fixation elements, to ensure a glow in the dark, are coated with a substance that emits light spontaneously, for example, phosphorus or salts of radioactive materials, or emits light when radiation or a field, for example, magnetic or electric, gets on this substance. The elements of the sight, can be made in the form of a hollow pipe of circular cross section or any other section profile.

The sighting device operates as follows.

The shooter gives the weapon the necessary position in space, in the horizontal and vertical plane, combines the front 1 and rear 2 tubes in such a way that the fixing elements 3 and 4 in its field of view are combined until a holistic geometric cross figure is formed (see figure 2 view B and Fig. 3 (B) and Fig. 4 (bullets right on target). While maintaining the integrity of this figure, the shooter combines it with the center of target 5 and fires. The slightest violation when aiming, deviating horizontally and / or vertically, will lead to violation, in the field of view of the shooter, of the geometric integrity of the figure of the cross (figure 4), and accordingly a miss on target 5.

Thus, the use of this sight will increase the effectiveness of the sight and the effectiveness of shooting (accuracy, accuracy, ease of aiming, increasing the aiming range, expanding the field of view and aiming, increasing reliability, facilitating control of the installation of weapons in the vertical and horizontal planes).
