Patent number: 11971533Abstract: The technology generally relates to a binocular having two tubes, which are connected to one another by means of a hinged bridge pivotable about a hinge axis for adjusting the interpupillary distance. Within each of the two tubes an axially displaceable focusing means is arranged and a common focusing device for displacing the focusing means is formed. The focusing device includes a housing and a focusing knob rotatable about a rotational axis and the rotational axis is arranged coaxially to the hinge axis. The focusing knob is rotationally coupled to a focusing gear and the focusing gear, in each case, comprises a push rod, by means of which the focusing gear is, in each case, coupled to one of the two focusing means. A longitudinal axis of the push rod encloses an acute angle with the hinge axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Swarovski-Optik AG & Co KG.Inventor: Peter Öttl

Publication number: 20210149179Abstract: The technology generally relates to a binocular having two tubes, which are connected by a hinged bridge pivotable about a hinge axis for adjusting the interpupillary distance. In each tube a beam path is formed with a first optical axis of an objective lens, with a second optical axis of an eyepiece and with a prism erecting system. The first optical axis of the objective lens and the second optical axis of the eyepiece are offset parallel to each other by a distance, and the first optical axis of the objective lens and the second optical axis of the eyepiece lie in a common plane. Outer sides of the two tubes in a section of their longitudinal extent parallel to the optical axis which overlaps with a longitudinal extent of the prism erecting system have a waist with respect to a direction perpendicular to the plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: Swarovski-Optik KG.Inventor: Peter Öttl
