  • Patent number: 7411750
    Abstract: An optical sight includes: an outer barrel having opposite ends; ocular and objective lens units mounted respectively to the ends of the outer barrel; a magnification unit disposed tiltably in the outer barrel, and extending between the ocular and objective lens units; an adjustment units mounted on the outer barrel, and operable independently and respectively to adjust position of the magnification unit inside the outer barrel in first and second directions that are perpendicular to each other; a biasing member interposed between the magnification unit and the outer barrel to provide an urging force on the magnification unit to abut against the adjustment units; and a force-adjusting unit disposed to connect the biasing member to the outer barrel, and operable to adjust the urging force exerted by the biasing member on the magnification unit.

  • Patent number: 7222432
    Abstract: A method of assembling a reticle module comprising a first element and a second element is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a collimated beam of light shines on a first reticle of the first member and a second reticle of the second member to project an image of the first reticle and an image of the second reticle onto a screen. Thereafter, the projected image of the first reticle of the first element and the projected image of the second reticle of the second element are adjusted to align with each other. Then, the relative position between first and the second element is fixed. The method speeds up the process of assembling a reticle module and ensures both constituent reticles aligned in the same viewing direction.

  • Publication number: 20060221442
    Abstract: An interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism for an optical device includes a slide rail (1) mounted on a middle support of the optical device, two slide blocks (2) mounted on respective lens barrels of the optical device, and a blocking member (4, 4?). The two slide blocks are slidably movable relative to the slide rail toward or away from each other to change the distance between the two lens barrels of the optical device. The blocking member is manually operable to provide an acting force between the slide block and the slide rail, and thus changing the friction force therebetween during sliding movement of the slide block. In this way, undesired sliding movement of the slide block relative to the slide rail can be prevented.
