  • Patent number: 11624586
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustment apparatus of a reticle device of a telescopic sight, which is arranged in a housing of the reticle device, wherein a moving direction is converted into a translational movement by means of two regulating caps as adjusting devices via rotational movements of the regulating caps occurring in steps and wherein one of the two regulating caps has a fine adjustment and the other regulating cap has a coarse adjustment. The reticle device can be connected to the housing via an annular stationary fastening saddle on the regulating cap for the fine adjustment. The two regulating caps can be rotated independently of each other by a driving pinion and a central driving spindle. An adjusted scale position of the one regulating cap remains unchanged by the actuating of the other regulating cap.

  • Patent number: 8714073
    Abstract: A weapon assembly includes a weapon (1) having a weapon barrel (2) which has a barrel bore axis (A), and has a trigger device (3), in which case an aiming device can be attached to the weapon (1) via a weapon-side attachment device (4, 7). A microcontroller (10) is provided, in which a deviation in the alignment of the barrel bore axis (A) of the weapon (1) with the weapon-side attachment device can be stored and can be read by an aiming device. The invention furthermore relates to a method for a weapon assembly, a weapon system and a method for a weapon system. The invention makes it possible to change fire control systems quickly from one weapon assembly to the other.

  • Publication number: 20040025396
    Abstract: A sighting telescope includes an objective, a path-folding system, an ocular and an infinity mark. The infinity mark can be adjusted in a vertical direction with the aid of an elevation drive. The elevation drive is provided with a sensor with which the setting of the elevation drive is detected. This detected setting is graphically displayed for the shooter in the sighting telescope.

  • Publication number: 20030035210
    Abstract: Telescope with a main tube in which a crosshair plate is movably arranged in an intermediate image plane. The crosshair plate can be moved relative to the main tube by means of a vertical drive and a horizontal drive. An index plate is associated with the crosshair plate of the telescope, is tiltably mounted in the main tube, and executes a tilting movement accompanying the movement of the crosshair plate in a horizontal direction.
