Publication number: 20220170717Abstract: A locking adjustment device for adjusting a setting of an aimed optical device, such as a riflescope, locks at a home or baseline position to provide expedient feedback regarding an adjustment position of the adjustable setting. The device includes a knob mountable for rotation about a rotational axis when the adjustment device is installed on the aimed optical device, where the knob is rotatable about the rotational axis. The device further includes a catch that automatically locks the knob in the home or baseline position and prevents further rotation of the knob until the catch is released. A lock-release mechanism carried by the knob is manually actuatable to disengage the catch and allow the knob to be manually rotated away from the locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventor: Quint Crispin

Publication number: 20200271415Abstract: A locking adjustment device for changing an adjustable setting of a device such as a riflescope locks in a baseline position to provide expedient feedback regarding an adjustment position of the adjustable setting. The device includes a guideway extending around an axis and a knob mountable over the guideway for rotation about the axis. The guideway includes a notch and a curved slide surface sized to slidably receive a guide tab carried by the knob. The guide tab is biased so as to urge at least a portion of the guide tab into the notch when the knob is rotated to a locked position, thereby preventing inadvertent rotation of the knob from the locked position. A button carried by the knob is depressible to urge the guide tab out of the notch and thereby allow the knob to be manually rotated away from the locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2020Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventor: Quint Crispin

Patent number: 10066903Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a high-angle sight mount for a projectile launcher. In one example, a system for a sight mount may include a base, a cartridge configured with a quick-release element and adapted for insertion into a cylindrical chamber coupled to the base, and a plurality of cams coupled to the cartridge and adapted to engage with a surface of the mounting platform of the sight mount to adjust an angle of a mounting platform relative to the base.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Leupold & Stevens, Inc.Inventor: Quint Crispin

Patent number: 10060702Abstract: A system for aiming a projectile weapon includes a telescopic sight for use with a second sighting device, such as a reflex sight or other non-magnifying sight. The telescopic sight has an eye point spaced apart rearwardly from its eyepiece and positioned at a vertical plane containing a line of initial trajectory of the weapon to which the aiming system is mounted so that a line parallel to the line of initial trajectory does not intersect the eyepiece. The location of the eye point facilitates concurrent use of a second sighting device at a normal mounting height and viewable past the eyepiece, thereby allowing the viewer to change views between the telescopic sight and the second sighting device with little eye movement and essentially no head movement.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Leupold & Stevens, Inc.Inventor: Quint Crispin

Publication number: 20180195835Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an integrated low-profile reflex sight for a firearm. In one example, a system for a sight includes a housing including a collimating lens positioned before a front lens and an illumination assembly projecting a reticle on the collimating lens. A plurality of trajectory adjustment elements are coupled to the illumination assembly and a single side of the housing. The housing is shaped such that a slide of a firearm coupled to the sight may be removed without removing the sight from the slide, and a reticle of the sight and iron sights of the firearm may be co-witnessed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2017Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventors: Quint Crispin, Matt Davis

Patent number: 9574853Abstract: A sight mount system for preserving adjustment settings of a removable aiming sight so as to avoid disturbing the point of aim of the aiming sight when the aiming sight is removed and subsequently reinstalled on a projectile weapon. The system includes an aiming sight foot supporting the aiming sight and a sight mount shoe for receiving the aiming sight foot. The sight mount shoe includes a non-adjustable datum surface, and pitch and yaw adjustment mechanisms that cooperate with the datum surface to establish the pitch and yaw of the aiming sight when the aiming sight foot is secured in the sight mount shoe. A foot retainer urges the aiming sight foot into contact with the datum surface and the pitch and yaw adjustment mechanisms, the foot retainer being manually operable to enable removal and reinstallation of the aiming sight foot without disturbing the pitch and yaw adjustment mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Leupold & Stevens, Inc.Inventor: Quint Crispin

Patent number: 9453706Abstract: An aiming device having for use with small weapons, such as pistols. The device includes a body mountable to the pistol, the body having an elongate upper section and a rear section projecting downwardly from the elongate upper section. When the body is mounted, the upper section is adjacent the upper surface of the pistol slide and the rear section is positioned adjacent the rear end of the slide and predominantly below the upper surface of the slide. The aiming device includes a display device carried by the rear section of the body, the display device operable to generate an aiming mark that is displayed via an optical element in sufficiently close proximity to the upper surface of the slide such that the aiming mark appears co-witnessed with a front iron sight of the pistol to a shooter viewing the aiming mark through the optical element while aiming.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Leupold & Stevens, Inc.Inventor: Quint Crispin
