  • Patent number: 11624586
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustment apparatus of a reticle device of a telescopic sight, which is arranged in a housing of the reticle device, wherein a moving direction is converted into a translational movement by means of two regulating caps as adjusting devices via rotational movements of the regulating caps occurring in steps and wherein one of the two regulating caps has a fine adjustment and the other regulating cap has a coarse adjustment. The reticle device can be connected to the housing via an annular stationary fastening saddle on the regulating cap for the fine adjustment. The two regulating caps can be rotated independently of each other by a driving pinion and a central driving spindle. An adjusted scale position of the one regulating cap remains unchanged by the actuating of the other regulating cap.

  • Patent number: 7990523
    Abstract: An aiming telescope has an optical axis and a line of sight. Turrets are provided for adjusting the direction of the line of sight. A range finder is structurally connected with the aiming telescope. The range finder has a light source for emitting an emitted measuring beam. The emitted measuring beam runs outside the aiming telescope. It has a direction coinciding essentially with the direction of the line of sight. A transmission is provided for automatically adjusting the direction of the emitted measuring beam when the direction of the line of sight is adjusted. The light source is pivotably mounted on the aiming telescope. The transmission acts between the aiming telescope and the light source.

  • Patent number: 7869004
    Abstract: An optical observation apparatus with at least one observation beam path and with means for laser range-finding, which have at least one transmitting device and at least one receiving device and are arranged outside the at least one observation beam path. The transmitting device and the receiving device are arranged in each case in separate housing parts of the optical observation apparatus and/or, if a folding bridge of the optical observation apparatus is present, along a mid-axis of the folding bridge. At least one diffractive optical element is provided for shaping at least the receiving beam for the at least one receiving device.

  • Publication number: 20050122581
    Abstract: A pair of binoculars includes a rotating element. When the rotating element is actuated, the lens of the binoculars, which are used for focusing, are displaced. The lenses are mounted in an axially displaceable manner. A rotating movement initiated by the rotating element is translated into a rotating movement with a larger angle of rotation by means of a gear transmission stage.
