Patent number: 6442883Abstract: A fastening device (F) with first (16) and second sides (30) attaches a first device (10) to a mounting rail (12) of a second device (14). A top section (44) for mounting the first device extends from the first or second sides. The sides are adapted to removably clamp about the rail. A clamping member (46) extends between the first and second sides. An extended end (48) of the clamping member extends through the first side, and an opposing end (50) is coupled with the second side. The clamping member extended portion (48) is movably coupled to a single cam member (56) operably mounted with the first side for drawing the sides closer together into a clamping position (58) to mate the sides with the rail.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2000Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael D.

Patent number: 6122099Abstract: A method of achieving a focusing adjustment of an optical assembly, and of releasably locking this focusing adjustment, is described. A night vision weapon sight (10) which implements this method includes an objective lens assembly (14), an eyepiece lens (18), and an image intensifier tube (20) receiving light via the objective lens in order to provide an image via the eyepiece lens. The objective lens assembly includes a base portion (32) into which a lens housing (34) is threadably received. The threaded engagement of the base portion and lens housing is locked by a collet-like array of radially flexible fingers (42) each having a conical outer surface. A locking collar (44) having a conically tapering inner surface threadably engages the lens housing (34) and engages the collet fingers (42). Locking of the locking collar (44) is ensured by threaded engagement of a locking ring (54) with the locking collar (44) such that the prevailing torque tightens both of a pair of threaded engagements of opposite hand.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1999Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.Inventors: Clifford James Connors, Gary A. Wannagot, Timothy Roe Goebel

Patent number: 5703354Abstract: A binocular night vision device (BNVD) includes a pair of night vision monocular scopes which pivotally and adjustably depend from a central housing portion. The central housing portion and the two night vision monocular scopes cooperatively define a singular gas envelope, which allows the entire BNVD to be purged of moist air and back filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent fogging while requiring only a single purging port. Further, the central housing portion contains a single battery and a single voltage step up circuit powering both image intensifier tube modules of the two monocular night vision scopes. In order to provide for interpupillary distance adjustment, the central housing portion and each of the monocular night vision scopes defines a sealed pivot mechanism which also allows for electrical connection between the central housing portion and each of the night vision scopes.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1996Date of Patent: December 30, 1997Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gary A. Wannagot, Curtis Brent Keepers, Timothy R. Goebel, James M. Cwiakala, Jr., Clifford J. Connors

Patent number: 5434704Abstract: A night vision sight is provided for use with a weapon, which includes an objective lens and a non-inverting image intensifier tube disposed along an optical axis, providing an intensified target image. The sight is focused by direct movement of the image intensifier tube relative to the fixed position of the objective lens. A reticle projector is disposed orthogonal to the optical axis and provides a collimated reticle image, the reticle image providing an aiming point for the weapon. The reticle image is superimposed over the target image, which are reflected into an eyepiece of the sight. The eyepiece has an axis between the optical axis and a sight line passing through a pre-existing sight provided with the weapon. Adjustment of the apparent position of the reticle to compensate for azimuth and elevation is accomplished by moving the reticle projector about crossed cylindrical bearings.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1992Date of Patent: July 18, 1995Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.Inventors: Clifford J. Connors, Gary A. Wannagot, Roland M. Morley

Patent number: 5225932Abstract: An eyecup insert is provided which allows easy attachment and removal of an eyecup from an associated night vision goggle. The eyecup provides a light secure seal when pressed against the head of an operator of the goggle. A connecting end of the eyecup has annular channel which engages the insert. The insert is ring shaped with a central aperture having a plurality of detents protruding inwardly of the aperture. The operator can form a snap-fit connection between the eyecup and the goggle by forcing the aperture over a circular flange which surrounds an eyepiece of the goggle until the detents have snapped passed the flange. The eyecup can be removed by reversing the installation procedure.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1992Date of Patent: July 6, 1993Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gary A. Wannagot, Roland M. Morley
