Abstract: A battery door assembly for a battery compartment is disclosed. The battery door assembly includes a battery cover, glide track, a spring-loaded button, a locking tab and a plurality of hinges. The plurality of hinges is pivotally connected to a chassis of a scope. The locking tab keeps the battery cover from opening. The battery cover can be unlocked by first applying pressure on the spring-loaded button, and then sliding the spring-loaded button and the locking tab from one end of the glide track to another end of the glide track while maintaining the applied pressure on the spring-loaded button.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing an image sensor within a night vision scope is disclosed. The apparatus includes a flat washer, a crush bushing, and a fastener. The crush bushing is inserted through an opening of a corner anchor of the image sensor. A fastener receptacle is located at a module of the night vision scope. The fastener can be inserted through an opening of the flat washer and a bore of the crush bushing to deform the crush bushing such that the crush bushing material fills any space between the fastener and the fastener receptacle, thereby creating a zero-play connection to restrict any slight movements generated by shocks and vibrations.

Abstract: A mounting mechanism is disclosed. The mounting mechanism includes a base, a clamp and a lever. The base includes a lever keeper and a first rail-engaging surface. The clamp includes a second rail-engaging surface. The lever, which includes a lever tab, is connected to the clamp at a pivot to allow an operator to selectively place the clamp in an engaged position or a disengaged position. The lever is configured to move the clamp to the engaged position to allow a rail projection to be secured in a mounting cavity located between the first rail-engaging surface of the base and the second rail-engaging surface of the clamp. When in the engaged position, the lever tab located on the lever is configured to be engaged with the lever keeper located on the base in order to prevent the lever from swinging away from the clamp.
