DESCRIPTION

AN ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY FOR SIGHTING DEVICES

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an adjustment assembly for sighting devices that enable to take sight at the desired point by allowing reticle movement at day and night vision optical sighting devices. Background of the Invention

In the state of the art, the day and night vision optical sighting devices do not allow to take sight at the desired point by allowing reticle movement. In the prior art, ability to shift the reticle when shooting at different distances is not provided.

The United States patent document no. US2011242650, an application in the state of the art, discloses a multi-function adjustment knob used in a rifle scope. The adjustment knob performs adjustment by means of two members. The invention carries out windage, elevation and parallax adjustments via a single adjustment knob. The said invention resembles the invention titled "An Adjustment Assembly for Sighting Devices" in terms of adjustability of the sighting device. However, the invention titled "An Adjustment Assembly for Sighting Devices" is more advanced in terms of its embodiment and other advantages. The United States patent document no. US2008236018, an application in the state of the art, discloses an adjustment mechanism for devices such as binoculars. The said invention resembles the invention titled "An Adjustment Assembly for Sighting Devices" in terms of reticle shifting, and windage and elevation adjustment. Summary of the Invention

The objective of the present invention is to provide an adjustment assembly which enables to zero (sighting-in) the sighting device with respect to the weapon.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide an adjustment assembly for sighting devices which enables to provide suitable adjustment to the ballistic path for the shooting. A further objective of the present invention is to provide an adjustment assembly for sighting devices which enables the suitable correction to be provided to the ballistic path for the shooting to be seen on the drum.

Detailed Description of the Invention

An adjustment assembly for sighting devices developed to fulfill the objective of the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying figure wherein

FIGURE 1 is the schematic view of the adjustment assembly for sighting devices.

The components in the figures are assigned reference numerals as follows:

1. Adjustment assembly

2. Protective cover

3. Drum

4. Indicator ring

5. Shaft cover

6. Ball

7. Spring

8. Headless screw

9. Shaft 10. Body

11. Pusher

12. Drum fixing screw An adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1) of the prevent invention comprises

- at least one protective cover (2) which forms the outermost layer and is resistant to external factors,

- at least one drum (3) which can rotate around itself and is circular,

- at least one indicator ring (4) which enables to perform zeroing and which is encompassed by the indicator label,

- a drum fixing screw (12) which enables the drum to rotate around itself,

- at least one shaft (9) which converts circular movement to linear movement and has two rectangular protrusions on the lower part thereof,

- at least one shaft cover (5) which is placed on the shaft (9),

- at least one body (10) in which the shaft (9) is positioned,

- at least one ball (6) which enables the shaft (9) to perform step by step rotational movement within the body (10),

- at least one spring (7) which is located between the shaft (9) and the body (10), - at least one headless screw (8) which is placed on the spring (7),

- at least one pusher (1 1) which can move linearly in connection with the shaft (9).

An adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1) has a design that is compatible with night vision cameras (A341 and A361). It allows to give correction for windage and elevation for night vision cameras (A341 and A361). An adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1), which has a protective cover (2), enables to take sight at the desired point quickly by means of the indicator ring (4) provided thereon. There is provided a protective cover (2) on the upper part of the adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1). The protective cover (2) protects the drum (3) against external factors (impact, hitting). The drum (3) is located between the protective cover (2) and the indicator ring (4). There is a circular space in the center of the drum (3). The said drum (3) can also perform circular movement. The drum (3) and the indicator ring (4), which can be rotated around themselves, are connected to each other. The indicator ring (4) is circular. When the drum (3) rotates, the indicator ring (4) that it is connected with also performs rotational movement. An indicator label is placed over the outer perimeter of the indicator ring (4). Zeroing is performed for the shooting by means of the indicator label, which preferably comprises millimetric scaling thereon, and thereby determined targets can be shot quickly. There is a shaft cover (5) located below the indicator ring (4). A shaft (9) is positioned below the shaft cover (5). The shaft (9) converts circular movement to linear movement. The shaft (9) performs rotational movement within the body (10). The body (10) is circular and has a circular protrusion on the center thereof. The ball (6) located between the shaft (9) and the body (10) enables the shaft (9) to perform rotational movement step by step.

There are recesses between the shaft (9) and the body (10) large enough for the ball (6) to fit in. When the shaft (9) rotates, the ball (6) fits into a recess corresponding to each step. When the ball (6) fits into a recess, the user will hear a click sound. Thus the user will be able to zero his sight and make needed ballistic corrections for the target and the probability of hit will increase.

The pusher (11) connected to the shaft (9) moves linearly. The pusher (1 1) is positioned at the farthermost point of the ballistic assembly (1). The pusher (11) is preferably in the form of a rectangular prism. Depending on the rotation movement of the shaft (9), the pusher (1 1) moves linearly either forward or backward. Within the framework of this basic concept, it is possible to develop various embodiments of the inventive adjustment assembly for sighting devices (1). The invention can not be limited to the examples described herein and it is essentially as defined in the claims.
