Abstract: The invention relates to a guide system, in particular for guiding the linear focusing of an optical device such as binoculars or a telescopic sight. The guide system here includes a guide body and a slide member which is mounted displaceably relative to the guide body along a guide axis. A bearing element is provided for the displaceable mounting of the slide member along the guide axis. The bearing element is configured here to reduce a radial play, extending radially with respect to the guide axis, between the slide member and the guide body.

Abstract: A long-range optical instrument comprises at least one observation beam path and an apparatus for laser ranging comprising at least one transmission apparatus with a transmission beam path and at least one reception apparatus with a reception beam path, moreover comprising an image rendering unit. The transmission beam path of the transmission apparatus and/or the reception beam path of the reception apparatus are combined using at least one optical support element for superposition with the at least one observation beam path. The image rendering unit generates the light of an image to be superposed and likewise guides said light using the at least one optical support element for superposition with the at least one observation beam path. Moreover, for beam shaping and/or beam guidance, at least one diffractive optical coupling element is arranged at the optical support element in the transmission beam path and/or in the reception beam path.

Abstract: An adjusting device for linearly displacing an assembly has a rotary knob rotatable in first and second rotary directions. A gear unit rapidly displaces the assembly in a first linear direction when the rotary knob is rotated in the first rotary direction and slowly displaces the assembly in a second linear direction opposite the first linear direction when the rotary knob is rotated in the second rotary direction over a defined rotation angle.

Abstract: A telescope having an axially movable optical assembly, in particular, a focusing device and an adjustment device for actuating the optical assembly. A force transmission path from the adjustment device to the optical assembly is formed at least partially by a multitude of force transmission elements arranged abutting on one another in a force transmission channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a telescopic sight with an objective to face a target object to be observed in a working position, an eyepiece to face an observer, a visual observation beam path, an inner tube with an inversion system, means for adjusting the direction of the sight line of the telescopic sight, a rangefinder and with a scope housing, in which are integrated the rangefinder, which has a transmitter for emitting a measurement beam and a receiver for receiving the reflected measurement beam, and arranged in the region of the observation beam path a beam splitter element, which couples the emitted measurement beam into the part of the observation beam path extending toward the objective and/or decouples the received reflected measurement beam from the part of the observation beam path extending toward the objective.

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.

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.

Abstract: An image recording device for eyepiece-side connection to an observation device, in particular to a monocular observation device, which provides an object image of an object to be observed, comprises an image recorder unit for recording the object image, and an eyepiece unit. The image recording device further comprises, on the input side, a beam splitter for splitting a light beam incident in the image recording device into a first light beam directed towards the image recorder unit and a second light beam directed towards the eyepiece unit for observing the object image through the eyepiece unit.

Abstract: A sighting telescope includes an objective, a path-folding system, an ocular and an infinity mark. The infinity mark can be adjusted in a vertical direction with the aid of an elevation drive. The elevation drive is provided with a sensor with which the setting of the elevation drive is detected. This detected setting is graphically displayed for the shooter in the sighting telescope.

Abstract: A reflection sight with at least one lens arranged on the object side and bearing a partially reflecting layer, wherein the lens bearing the partially reflecting layer is arranged perpendicular to the mid-axis of the reflection sight.
