  • Tool-less re-zero adjustment knob for aiming devices, and methods of zeroing an aiming device
    Patent number: 11906268
    Abstract: User-zeroable adjustment knobs for an aiming device include a rotating member that is rotated to change a setting of the aiming device, a dial selectively couplable to the rotating member via a clutch for co-rotation therewith, and a locking mechanism that prevents the dial and rotating member from rotating relative to the aiming device when the locking mechanism is locked. The clutch is disengagable without the use of tools to allow the dial to rotate relative to the rotating member for zeroing the aiming device. The locking mechanism may include a lock release that is accessible from outside of the dial and movable relative to the dial and the rotating member to release the locking mechanism. Methods of zeroing locking adjustment knobs are also disclosed.

  • Tool-less re-zero optical scope knob adjustment systems and methods
    Patent number: 11243049
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a user-zeroable adjustment knob for an optical aiming device. The adjustment knob includes a rotating member rotatable about an axis of rotation to change a setting of the optical aiming device, the rotating member including a rotating member clutch surface centered on the axis of rotation and a dial comprising a dial clutch surface, and wherein the dial is movable between an engaged position where the dial clutch surface is engaged with the rotating member clutch surface, and a disengaged position in which the dial clutch surface is disengaged from the rotating member clutch surface, allowing the dial to be rotated relative to the rotating member to set a zero position.
