Definitions

• the invention relates to a riflescope of the monobloc, monocular type with a reticule holder attached in an intermediate image plane and a transparent reticule with reticle (reticle) fastened in the holder.
• Riflescopes as an aid for detecting a target and for aligning the device equipped with the riflescope to this target have a line figure in the beam path of their optical system, which is also referred to as a reticle and which is generally applied to a reticle.
• a reticle is known from DE-Gbm 87 02 309, which has a vertical, interrupted scale.
• a laterally oriented line figure which consists of two parallel lines of different thickness, which then taper towards one another, points into this interrupted space. The tip of the two lines is exactly in the extension of the two scale components.
• a reticle is known in which the upper part of the vertical bar of the cross hair consists only of a thin border and extends from the top edge of the telescopic sight to the middle cross hair.
• the middle crosshair consists only of thin lines perpendicular to each other.
• the known reticles have the disadvantage that they restrict the field of vision of the professional user through unnecessary displays and in some cases even cover the necessary part of the field of vision.
• the object of the invention is to provide a reticle which leaves the vision of a professional user of a telescopic sight as undisturbed as possible, and nevertheless provides all the information required for alignment.
• a tip-like stick figure protrudes into a circular-shaped stick figure on the reticle, the tip of which lies in the center of the circle and which consists of two line-shaped stick figures arranged at an angle ⁇ to one another.
• This design of the reticle according to the invention ensures that the user of the telescopic sight can clearly address the target without the important areas being covered horizontally and perpendicularly to the target in the field of vision.
• the circular stick figure allows a clear estimate of the target size or the target distance.
• the line-shaped stick figures allow the weapon attached to the telescopic sight to be clearly aligned with the target.
• Fig. 1 a graticule according to the invention:
• Fig. 2 shows another graticule according to the invention.
• the reticle (1) shown in FIG. 1 is used for installation in known mono-objective, monocular riflescopes.
• Example from DE-Gbm 87 02 309 are known.
• the rifle scope is the streak plate of Plate holder ne ner intermediate image plane of the
• the material of the reticule is transparent and is e.g. of glass.
• a screening is introduced as a check. This depression in material makes it possible to fix the graticule in a graticule holder which has an illumination gap. If the light of a light that can optionally be pushed onto the rifle scope housing penetrates through the illumination gap or if there is illumination from the light of a self-illuminating light source in the interior of the rifle scope in the immediate vicinity of the reticle, the reticle on the reticle (1) in the rifle scope is also at dusk or otherwise poor visibility easily recognizable.
• Both the ring-shaped line figure '1 ⁇ and the two line-shaped line figures (3a, 3b) are located on one side of the glass reticle flj, so that their positional designation with respect to one another is absolutely fixed.
• the angle enclosed by the two linear line figures (3a, 3b) is in the range between 50 ° and 110 °, preferably approximately 80 °.
• the line thickness of the line-shaped line figures (3a, 3b) is approximately half as large as the line thickness of the ring-shaped line figure (2) to help the user of the scope after rough alignment by means of the ring-shaped line figure (2) when fine-aligning using the line-shaped line figures (3a, 3b ) to enable the most accurate targeting possible even at great distances.
• the diameter of the circular line figure (2) is only one tenth to one twentieth of the diameter of the field of view and thus allows a simple rough alignment of the am Riflescope attached weapon to the target.
• the size of the diameter of the circular line figure (2) is there: dimensioned such that a person who is 1.80 m tall and stands 300 m away (man size) fits exactly into this diameter. This makes it possible to estimate the distance by the size of the circular line figure (2) in a particular military use.
• FIG. 2 shows a reticle (11) which, in addition to the circular reticle (12) and the pointed reticle (13a, 13b?), Each has a horizontal reticle (14a, 14b).
• These two reticle figures (14a, 14b) lie on a common axis through the center of the circle (15) and are arranged so that they do not touch the circular line figure (125.
• Di - ** - the two horizontal line figures (14a, 14b) are laterally delimited by two vertical lines, whose size is smaller than the diameter of the circular stick figures (12).
• line figures (14a, 14b) can ensure the correct horizontal position of a rifle mounted on the rifle scope and also allow the target speed and range to be estimated. However, there may also be additional vertical and / or horizontal line figures on the reticle (not shown here).
