Publication number: 20230236410Abstract: A modular binocular night vision device permits vision during low-light conditions by converting incoming near-infrared and visible light from a viewed scene to an intensified visible light image. The modular binocular night vision device comprises a pair of monocular housings, connected to one another by way of a bridge, that are arranged for respectively covering the right and left eye of an observer. An example modular binocular night vision device comprises a bridge and a mount module. The bridge includes a mechanical connection port on a top side thereof; the mount module includes a top side, a base positioned opposite the top side, and an onboard power source. The base of the mount module is removably attachable to the mechanical connection port on the bridge and the onboard power source is adapted to provide power to the binocular night vision device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: TNVC, Inc.Inventor: Agustine E.

Patent number: 11614612Abstract: A modular binocular night vision device permits vision during low-light conditions by converting incoming near-infrared and visible light from a viewed scene to an intensified visible light image. The modular binocular night vision device comprises a pair of monocular housings, connected to one another by way of a bridge, that are arranged for respectively covering the right and left eye of an observer. Each monocular housing contains an identical optical system. An example modular binocular night vision device comprises the bridge and a mount module used to attach the modular binocular night vision device to a helmet. The bridge includes a mechanical connection port on a top side thereof. The mount module includes a base and an onboard power source. The base is removeably attachable to the mechanical connection port on the bridge and the onboard power source is adapted to provide power to the binocular night vision device.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: TNVC, Inc.Inventor: Agustine E.

Publication number: 20220019071Abstract: The binocular bridge system is configured to couple two night vision monoculars together, effectively providing the user with a binocular night vision system. An example binocular bridge system comprising: a bridge; a first hinged arm that includes an objective alignment ring configured to fit around an objective lens locking ring of a night vision monocular secured to the first hinged arm; and a second hinged arm that includes an objective alignment ring configured to fit around an objective lens locking ring of a night vision monocular secured to the second hinged arm. The hinged arms in conjunction with the objective alignment rings are configured to mechanically collimate the night vision monoculars secured to the first hinged arm and the second hinged arm of the binocular bridge system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Applicant: TNVC, Inc.Inventor: Charles Lasky

Patent number: 11131843Abstract: The binocular bridge system is configured to couple two night vision monoculars together, effectively providing the user with a binocular night vision system. An example binocular bridge system comprises a bridge, two hinged arms, and two dummy battery inserts. Each dummy battery insert is configured to be positioned within the battery compartment of a night vision monocular and conductively connect it to a power source housed within the bridge. In some implementation, each hinged arm of the binocular bridge system includes an objective alignment ring. The hinged arms of such a binocular bridge system, in conjunction with the objective alignment rings, are configured to mechanically collimate the night vision monoculars secured thereto.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: TNVC, Inc.Inventor: Charles Lasky
