Description
- This application is a Continuation-in-Part of application Ser. No. 09/433,317 filed Nov. 3, 1999, which is a Continuation-in-Part of application Ser. No. 09/039,083 filed Jan. 29, 1998, now abandoned
- The present invention is directed to a device for enhancing the accuracy of a conventional single reticule telescopic sight.
- This invention relates generally to telescopic sighting and, more specifically to an improved telescopic sight for the aiming of weapons.
- Normal optical (telescopic) sights have a single point of reference called a reticule (crosshairs) which the shooter has to align with the target. The problem with this single point of reference is that the shooters eye has to be aligned along the centerline of the weapon while positioning the crosshairs on the target, therefore, the telescopic sight offers no help, and in fact introduces a source of error. In other words, shooters have to learn to keep their heads in the same position each time they aim, which of course is why it is so difficult to hit the target.
- In one aspect, a telescopic optical sight for aiming a weapon at a target is provided. The telescopic optical sight comprises an eyepiece, a first reticule, a second reticule spaced laterally from said first reticule, and at least one object lens. The first reticule and the second reticule are between the eyepiece and the object lens. The first reticule is the principle focus for the sight and the second reticule aligns with the first to aim the weapon.
- In another aspect, a weapon sighting device for use within a telescopic optical sight is provided. The device comprises a surface having a discontinuity at the center of the surface. The sighting device is configured to be incorporated into a telescopic optical sight at a position between a reticule and an object lens and wherein the discontinuity is spaced longitudinally from and aligned with a reticule.
- In still another aspect, a method for aligning a telescopic sight with a target is provided. The telescopic sight includes an eyepiece, an object lens, a first reticule and a second reticule, the first reticule and the second reticule being between the eyepiece and the object lens. The method comprises aligning a first reticule of the sight with the target and superimposing the second reticule over the first reticule, while the first reticule is in alignment with the target.

FIG. 1 is a view of the invention as an attachment to a normal telescopic sight. -
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of the invention used internally as a second reticule in a telescopic sight. -
FIG. 3 shows a number of embodiments of transparent disks. - This invention is essentially a surface with a discontinuity at its center placed some distance from but aligned with a reticule of a telescopic sight. Referring to
FIG. 1 an optical sight item 10 (e.g. a single reticule telescopic sight) is shown. Also shown is aflexible sleeve 12 into which is inserted adisk 14. Sleeve anddisk 14 in combination form an assembly which may be pushed over aneyepiece 16 ofsight 10 to form a complete unit. The disk and sleeve assembly, referred to herein as a weapon aiming device, or weapon sighting device, provides a second point of reference, or second reticule, for a sight or aiming device that has only one point of reference or reticule. The single point of reference is sometimes referred to in the art as a principle focus point, and is ordinarily provided as a single reticule within the telescopic sight. In one embodiment, the second reticule is adisk 14 fabricated from a suitably colored transparent material with ahole 18 at a center ofdisk 14. - In exemplary embodiments,
disk 14 is placed between an observers eye (line of sight indicated by the arrow) and a reticule ofsight 10, though by suitably arranging the optics of the sight any arrangement is possible, for example placing the weapon aiming device over asecond end 20 ofsight 10. - The weapon aiming device may include a circular tinted
disk 14 with a hole at its center placed at one of aflexible sleeve 12.Sleeve 12 enables easy attachment to an optical or similar functioningsight 10. The tint may be of any color, however it has to be of sufficient intensity and contrast to the coloring of the attached sight system (e.g. sight 10) to enable the hole at its center to be visible and superimposed on the reticule ofsight 10. - Diameter of
hole 18 at the disk center should be optimized for the geometric shape of the symbol of the reticule (e.g. cross hairs). Alternatively,hole 18 could simply be an area of contact with the remaining area ofdisk 14, as long as there are sufficient conditions and difference in color betweendisk 14 and lenses incorporated withinsight 10. In one exemplary embodiment, a diameter of approximately 1 mm is an expected order of magnitude for this hole or contrasting area. - The aiming device may include
multiple disks 14, mounted insleeve 12, one behind the other, each one being easily removable such that the overall transparency may be altered to better suit ambient light conditions. The multiple disks may incorporate different hole sizes such that removal of one or more may alter a size of the hole presented to a user of the aiming device. The aiming device may also include a number of optically polarized disks arranged such that their relative movement will effect their transparency. The aiming device may also include a disk made from a number of sections such that their relative movement will alter the size of the center hole. - The aiming device may also include an electrically active screen (e.g., liquid crystal display) such that its color and center hole can be varied. The
hole 18 at the center would not necessarily be a physical hole in the screen, but simply an area of different aspect. - The aiming device may form an integral part of an optical or similar functioning sight, rather than as a removable attachment as shown in
FIG. 1 .FIG. 2 illustrates atelescopic sight 50 which incorporates a second reticule, for example,internal disks 52 to improve accuracy ofsight 50.Disks 52 incorporate the same features as disks 14 (shown inFIG. 1 ).Telescopic sight 50 further includes aneyepiece lens 54. A second reticule (e.g. disks 52) is fit intosight 50 between afirst reticule 56 andobject lenses 58 which are located withincollimator 60. Sight further includes alens 62 at a forward facingend 64 ofsight 50. Adjustment means 66 are used to ensure a center ofdisks 52 are aligned withfirst reticule 56. -
Disks 52 may include one or more holes which are positioned such that they provide a second reticule which aligns with elements offirst reticule 56 ofsight 50, and hence assist the operator to more accurately align the two. Preferably, thehole 68 at the center ofdisk 52 is sized and shaped so as to align with the shape offirst reticule 56. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a plurality of embodiments for disks 14 (shown inFIG. 1 ) and 52 (shown inFIG. 2 ). A coloredtransparent disk 70 with asingle hole 72 is shown. Whilehole 72 is shown as a circle, it is contemplated thathole 72 could be any geometric form as long ashole 72 is aligned with first reticule 56 (shown inFIG. 2 ) to act as a second reticule for better alignment oftelescopic sight 50 with a target. In another embodiment, atransparent disk 74 incorporates different aspect or coloredconcentric circle 76 around ahole 78. Also atransparent disk 80 incorporates a transparentconcentric circle 82 aroundhole 84. - Preferably, any of the above described disks mounted in
sleeve 12 or insight 50 are configured such that when using a conventional single reticule optical sight, the concentric circles and/or the hole is superimposed upon the reticule. Furthermore, as a means for aligning the disk with the reticule, a reticule could be provided with a number of concentric circles in addition to the usual cross hairs. Therefore, it is easier for a user to accurately align the superimposed circle and the reticule circles so as to be concentric in comparison to the ability of a user to align the superimposed circle formed by the hole in the colored disk with the cross hairs of the optical sight. - The aiming device may also be used with an electronic sight which uses a liquid crystal display or a cathode ray tube for forming the reticule. In summary, the system described herein is either a back sight which is a simple add on to an existing telescopic sight or a device mechanically incorporated into such a telescopic sight. The device enables the weapon to be aimed in a similar manner to one utilizing iron forward and rear sights (two points of reference), though of course with much greater accuracy.
- While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
