  • Patent number: 9971141
    Abstract: Regarding a sighting telescope comprising an objective and a reversing system, a first and second image planes respectively being configured between the objective and the reversing system and on a reversing system's side facing away from the objective, where an intermediate image projected by the objective into to the first image plane is reproduced into the second image plane, the invention stipulates an optical unit situated on the reversing system's side away from the objective to make visible the intermediate image in the second image plane.

  • Patent number: 9817225
    Abstract: A telescopic sight has an objective lens system, an eyepiece lens system and an inversion system disposed in the optical path between the objective lens system and the eye piece lens system and pivotably supported by means of a height adjustment device, a lateral adjustment device, a reticle, and a projection means disposed at the end of the inversion system on the eyepiece side. The inversion system generates an image plane at the end on the eyepiece side having a perpendicular alignment relative to the inversion system optical axis. The projection means generates a projection in the field of view of the sight, which is located in a projection plane, wherein the projection plane is aligned perpendicularly relative to the optical axis and in the image plane of the inversion system. A display means assigned to the inversion system generates information and/or a target mark in the projection plane.

  • Patent number: 8958149
    Abstract: Regarding a sighting telescope comprising a reversing system which is configured between an objective and is fitted an ocular and fitted with an objective-proximate field lens and at least two mutually displaceable optical elements near the ocular, further comprising an objective-proximate image plane situated between the objective and the field lens and spaced from latter, further with an ocular-proximate image plane situated between the reversing system and the ocular, where, when displacing the said optical elements, an intermediate image projected by the objective into the ocular-proximate image plane is erected and reproduced at a variable magnification in the ocular proximate image plane, and at a magnification of at least 4×, the invention stipulates configuring a correcting field lens element between the objective-proximate image plane and the field lens.

  • Patent number: 8950101
    Abstract: The sighting telescope comprises an external tube and receives within it an inner tube that contains an optical reversal system with at least two optical elements which are fitted into optical mounts and are displaceably supported in the direction of the sighting telescope's longitudinal axis, as a result of which a displacement of the lenses causes a change in magnification, the mounts within a guide sleeve being supported while prestressed by an elastic device.

  • Patent number: 8867129
    Abstract: A sighting telescope has two image planes situated between an objective and an ocular. A first such plane is situated closer to the objective and a second image plane is closer to the ocular. A reversal system is situated between the first and second image planes containing reversing lens elements. The reversing lens elements for a first and for a second adjustment distance can be adjusted by an adjustment means in a manner that the image in the second image plane shall be parallax-free between the target image and the target mark.
