WIPO Patent Application WO2006053080
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A lens cover 500 includes a cap 530 adapted to be pivotably supported on an optical device 100. A stop 580 may be positioned to interfere with spring-driven movement of the cap and to brake the cap at an intermediate position between closed and open positions thereof. The cap may then be manually moved to the fully open position, where it may be releasably retained by optional detent structure 588, 589. A mounting ring assembly 510 of the lens cover may include a first threaded ring member 610 for attachment to the optical device and a second ring member 620 rotatably coupled to the first ring member for facilitating alignment of a hinge 520 that pivotably attaches the cap to the second ring member, relative to the optical device 100. Magnets 660, 668 may be included to retain the cap in the closed position. The mounting ring assembly and cap may be formed of aluminum or another metal for durability and fit.
