Abstract
A reflective dot gunsight is disclosed that includes a power generation unit utilizing a hand driven dynamo to provide power. This enables the gunsight to operate independently of the availability of suitable charged batteries, providing a critical advantage in sporting and combat situations. Failure of battery power at a critical moment is a major source of anxiety and forces many users away from the obvious advantages of lighted reflective dot sights. Battery failure can occur suddenly and without warning rendering the reflective dot sight useless. Even if spare batteries are carried, it takes several minutes to replace the battery. The LED lamp in the disclosed gunsight is powered by a non-removable supercapacitor that is charged by a hand cranked dynamo. A few seconds of cranking provides minutes of operation and the device can be recharged to full capacity at any time.
Description
- This application is a nonprovisional patent application that relies for priority under 35 U.S.C. 120 on Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/600,904 filed on Feb. 20, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to firearms sighting systems, and more particularly to reflective light emitting diode (LED) dot type sights. This invention provides a means for powering the LED lamp in the gunsight by a hand cranked mechanism.
- 2. Statement of the Prior Art
- There are several major classes of gunsights. The first and the oldest class of gunsights are called “iron sights.” This class of gunsights typically consist of a metal pin and notch that, when aligned with a target, ensure that the gun is positioned such that a projectile from the gun barrel will likely impact the target. While these gunsights are simple, and require no power, it is difficult to focus on the target and the gunsights at the same time. This in turn leads to degraded accuracy.
- A second class of gunsights uses a telescope with cross hairs. This class of gunsights has the advantage that the cross hairs and the target are in the same focal plane, but several disadvantages. Telescopes are often bulky and they significantly reduce the shooter's field of view, making them useful only in “slow fire” situations.
- A third class of gunsights project a laser beam onto the target. The laser is aligned to the gun barrel such that the projectile from the gun will likely impact the target at the location of the projected laser spot on the target. This apparatus allows for a “point and shoot” operation, but the range is limited by the visibility of the projected laser spot. Considerable power is required to project the laser for any significant distance, especially in bright ambient light.
- The above limitation is overcome by a fourth class of gunsight—the reflective dot gunsight. Here the shooter views the target through a partially reflective glass lens. An LED (light emitting diode) projects a spot of light onto the glass lens such that it is reflected back into the eye of the shooter. The position of the reflected dot is adjusted so that it appears to be overlaid on the target.
- Since the projected dot is in the same focal plane as the target, there is no need to shift focus while sighting. Unlike the projected laser, the reflective dot gunsight can be used at any practical range and is not affected by ambient light. One major drawback of the reflective red dot gunsight is the need to carry batteries for power. In the event that no charged battery is available, the gunsight becomes useless. This limitation forces shooters to either have back-up “iron sights”, thus compromising the accuracy of the gun or to always have a supply of spare batteries. Invariably when a gun is retrieved for use from storage, it is found that the reflective dot gunsight has accidently been left on and the battery is dead. The anxiety of having to worry about battery failure at an inopportune moment is often sufficient for hunters and combat shooters to avoid using the technically advanced and accurate reflective red dot gunsights and instead opt for inferior “iron sights.”
- These and other objects, advantages, and novel features are provided by embodiments of the present invention, which overcome all these difficulties and provides all the desired features by powering the LED reflective dot gunsight using a hand cranked mechanism. Cranking the power generator for about 10 to 15 seconds is often sufficient to operate the reflective dot gunsight for 10 minutes or more. The device can be cranked again at any time to top up the available power reserve. Thus, the disclosed invention eliminates the need for batteries to power the reflective dot gunsight. Use of means such as a supercapacitor instead of rechargeable batteries eliminates the need for replacing batteries for 10 years or more providing true “battery-free” operation. Moreover, electrical circuits as disclosed herein are used to efficiently utilize energy stored in the supercapacitor.
- The foregoing and other features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of a reflective dot gunsight with a hand crank mechanism according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of the major components of the present invention; and -
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of the present invention. - Exemplary embodiments are discussed in detail below. While specific exemplary embodiments are discussed, it should be understood that this is done for illustration purposes only. In describing and illustrating the exemplary embodiments, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. However, the embodiments are not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected. Persons of ordinary skill in the relevant art will recognize that other components and configurations may be used without departing from the true spirit and scope of the embodiments. It is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose. Therefore, the examples and embodiments described herein are non-limiting examples.
- Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numbers generally indicate identical, functionally similar, and/or structurally similar elements, there is shown in
FIG. 1 a human-powered reflective dot gunsight according to one embodiment of the present invention. In general, the gunsight comprises ahousing 10, which contains anLED lamp 12. Light from theLED lamp 12 is reflected from the partiallyreflective eye lens 14 on to theobjective lens 16, which may also be partially reflective. The reflective light passes through theeye lens 14 and is viewed by the shooter's eye as a red dot superimposed on to thetarget 18, when viewed throughlenses housing 10 is also apower generator 20, coupled togearbox 22 which, in turn, is driven byhand crank 24. Power is stored insupercapacitor 26.Switch 28 is used to power theLED lamp 12 from thesupercapacitor 26. -
FIG. 2 illustrates the operation of certain major components of the present invention. The preferred embodiment utilizes ahand crank 24 to drive agear train 22. This is necessary to raise the rotational speed for theDC motor 20 used as a generator. These low cost toy motors typically require 2000 to 6000 rpm in order to generate an output voltage of at least 3 volts. Hand cranking is comfortable between 30 and 60 rpm, sogearbox 22 preferably has a ratio in the range of about 1:50 to 1:200 to raise the output speed to the desired range. Adiode 30 may be used between thegenerator 20 and thesupercapacitor 26 to prevent the chargedsupercapacitor 26 from back-driving thegenerator 20. - A boost and
regulation circuit 32 may be used betweensupercapacitor 26 andLED lamp 12. Devices such as the LT1932, manufactured by Linear Technology Corporation of Milpitas, California may be used. Use of a boost/regulation chip allows operation down to 0.8 volts while maintaining a constant current supply to theLED lamp 12. - The LT1932 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter designed to operate as a constant-current source. Because it directly regulates output current, the LT1932 is ideal for driving light emitting diodes (LEDs) whose light intensity is proportional to the current passing through them, not the voltage across their terminals.
- Without boost and
regulation circuit 32,LED 12 will become dimmer as the voltage insupercapacitor 26 decays. It will not be lit once the voltage drops below 2.2 volts. The single cell supercapacitor can be charged to a maximum voltage of 2.7 volts so only the voltage range from 2.7 volts down to 2.2 volts is usable without a voltage boost circuit. This would leave a considerable charge in the capacitor unutilized. However, the boost andregulation circuit 32 used in this invention maintains a constant current to theLED lamp 12, ensuring uniform brightness at voltages down to 1 V. This allows for a more complete utilization of the energy stored in thesupercapacitor 26.Switch 28 may be used to turn theLED lamp 12 on and off. The electrical circuit is shown inFIG. 3 . - In the preferred embodiment,
supercapacitor 26 had a capacitance of 3.3F (manufactured by Nichicon Corporation of Kyoto, Japan). In this configuration, cranking the device for 10 to 15 seconds provides for theLED lamp 12 to be lit for 10 to 15 minutes. - The hand crank generator could have been coupled to a rechargeable battery for energy storage. This technique has significant drawbacks. Firstly, the rechargeable battery takes much longer to come to a full charge and the charging voltage must be carefully controlled to avoid damaging the battery. Secondly, any rechargeable battery only functions for a finite number of charge-discharge cycles. Typically, rechargeable batteries are rated for 200 to 500 cycles before they must be replaced. Having to change the rechargeable battery periodically negates some of the advantage of a maintenance-free human powered gunsight. In contrast to a battery, supercapacitor can be charged very quickly. With a single cell supercapacitor as used in the disclosed invention there is no need to regulate the charging process. The supercapacitor cannot be overcharged. A supercapacitor does not have any limitation on the number of charge-discharge cycles, but eventually ages due to chemical degradation. A working life of 10 years or more is typical. In addition, supercapacitors can now be obtained for about the same price as a rechargeable battery and furthermore do not contain toxic chemicals.
- While the disclosure has been described with reference to several embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the disclosure without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the disclosure not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed as the best mode contemplated for caring out this disclosure.
