  • Publication number: 20210149180
    Abstract: The technology generally relates to a binocular having two tubes, which are connected to one another by means of a hinged bridge pivotable about a hinge axis for adjusting the interpupillary distance. Within each of the two tubes an axially displaceable focusing means is arranged and a common focusing device for displacing the focusing means is formed. The focusing device includes a housing and a focusing knob rotatable about a rotational axis and the rotational axis is arranged coaxially to the hinge axis. The focusing knob is rotationally coupled to a focusing gear and the focusing gear, in each case, comprises a push rod, by means of which the focusing gear is, in each case, coupled to one of the two focusing means. A longitudinal axis of the push rod encloses an acute angle with the hinge axis.
