Patent number: 9625235Abstract: An optical sight is provided and includes a housing having a first bearing surface integrally formed therewith and a relay assembly having at least one optical element, a main tube, and a track tube having at least one track. The track tube is selectively rotatable relative to and about the main tube to adjust an axial position of the at least one optical element within the main tube along an axis that is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the main tube. The main tube includes a spherical surface that is in contact with the first bearing surface of the housing to define a pivot point of the main tube within the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Trijicon, Inc.Inventors: Rodney DeLaca, Michael Presley, Thomas K. Maciak

Patent number: 8490317Abstract: An adjustment turret for an optical sight includes a body, an adjustment shaft, a cap, and a locking pin. The body includes a cavity and an axial bore. The adjustment shaft threadably engages the axial bore for relative rotation therebetween. The cap is connected to the adjustment shaft for rotation with the adjustment shaft relative to the body and is axially movable relative to the body and the adjustment shaft between a first position and a second position. The locking pin is axially movable with the cap and is received in the cavity when the cap is in the first position to prevent relative rotation between the cap and the body and is removed from the cavity when the cap is in the second position to allow relative rotation between the cap and the body.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Trijicon, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R. Adkins, Thomas K. Maciak
