Abstract: An optical sight is provided and may include: a housing; at least one prism supported by the housing; an optical device disposed on the prism and including a longitudinal axis; and an illumination device associated with the optical device and operable to supply the prism with light via the optical device by supplying light to the optical device in a direction along the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An optical sight is provided and may include: a housing; at least one optic supported by the housing; an illumination device associated with the at least one optic and selectively supplying the at least one optic with light, the illumination device including a first fiber associated with a first light source; a coupler collecting light from the first fiber and supplying the at least one optic with light from the first light source; and an electroluminescent device associated with the at least one optic and selectively supplying the at least one optic with light separate from the coupler.

Abstract: An optical sight is provided and may include a housing, at least one optic supported by the housing, and an illumination device associated with the at least one optic that selectively supplies the at least one optic with light. The illumination device may include a first fiber associated with a first light source and a second fiber associated with a second light source. A coupler may join the first fiber and the second fiber and may supply the at least one optic with light from at least one of the first light source and the second light source.

Abstract: A technique for reducing burrs formed by a die set having a cutting insert with a screw clearance, fastened to a holding plate by a mounting screw. In one embodiment, a clamping plate is fabricated with a shape defined by two intersecting circular arcs having different diameters, a smaller arc matched to the screw clearance in the cutting insert, and a larger arc matched to an arc defined in the pocket of the holding plate. The holding plate also has a threaded hole centered in the holding plate arc. The clamping plate is fastened to the holding plate with the smaller arc abutting the screw clearance in the cutting insert, and the larger arc abutting the holding plate arc. The clamping plate reduces lateral motion of the cutting insert within the mounting plate, when the mounting screw is tightened.
