  • Patent number: 10363642
    Abstract: A centering mechanism for retaining an object, wherein the centering mechanism has a locking mechanism, having at least a first tangential surface. Furthermore, the centering mechanism can be used in conjunction with a mechanism for retaining an electronic device or an electronic device in a case. The structure of the centering mechanism and the locking mechanism allows for the locking mechanism to further actuate and lock the centering mechanism, such that an object retained therein is secured and aligned.

  • Patent number: 10215212
    Abstract: This invention comprises an adaptor device for connecting an electronic device having a camera to a range of optical devices, including but not limited to binoculars, monoculars, riflescopes, spotting scopes, telescopes, and microscopes. This adaptor device has a plurality of protrusion that provide a self-centering and fitted connection between the electronic and optical device, so that the optical axes are aligned so that the user may take images or video on their electronic device through the optical device. The structure of the adaptor device allows the adaptor to fit a range of differently sized optical device, denoted by the diameter of the eyepiece end of the optical device.

  • Patent number: 9726845
    Abstract: An anti-reflective device that is to be attached to a variety of types or sizes of optical products via side members. The anti-reflective device is to be used on optical products such binoculars, monocular, rifle scopes, and spotting scopes, to prevent the return to an object of visible reflections of light emitted from the surface of the objective lens of an optical product. In a simple one-handed motion, the anti-reflective device is to be clamped to the external body of an optical product, used as an anti-reflective device, and removed via a simple one-handed motion.
