    摘要: The technology generally relates to a binocular having two tubes, which are connected to one another by means of a hinged bridge pivotable about a hinge axis for adjusting the interpupillary distance. Within each of the two tubes a beam path is formed with a first optical axis of an objective lens, with a second optical axis of an eyepiece and with a prism erecting system, characterized in that the first optical axis of the objective lens and the second optical axis of the eyepiece are offset parallel to each other by a distance.

    摘要: An eyepiece shield (10, 10b) for a sporting optic (14, 14b), such as binoculars or a spotting scope, comprises an irregular frusto-conical shell (22, 22b) with a narrower end circumscribing at least one eyepiece hole (26), and a wider end circumscribing an oblong eye opening (30, 30b). The eye opening is non-parallel with the eyepiece hole, and has a concave profile with respect to at least one viewing axis (34) between the holes. The shell comprises a flexible and resilient, laminate material with different inner and outer layers sandwiching an intermediate foam layer. In addition, the shield comprises a fastener (114) with first and second fastener portions (118, 120) carried on opposite sides of the shell at the eye opening to closed the shield with the opposite sides of the eye opening folded in towards one another, and the fastener is fastened with the first and second fastener portions joined together.

    摘要: A diopter adjustment mechanism comprises a scope tube with a first female thread and a second female thread. The first female thread has a first pitch and is disposed on the scope tube forming a spiral thread and lands between the spiral threads. The second female thread has a second pitch and is disposed on the lands of the first female thread. A jam nut has a male thread corresponding to and engaging the second female thread.

    摘要: A binocular device that is wearable on the head of the user or wearer and does not require any hands to hold in place. The device has a pair of telescope sections that transmit an image to an eyepiece viewable by a wearer. Each eyepiece can be adjusted laterally to conform to the wearer's interpupillary distance; vertically, preferably vertically in an arc to provide a desired viewing angle; and longitudinally in relation to the wearer's eyes to a desired eye relief; the adjustments providing a custom-fit device.

    摘要: A non-lethal dazzling device includes a laser operable in the visible spectrum. The laser can be a relatively low-powered laser, such as a laser having a maximum output power of 2.5 mW, or it can be a higher-powered laser with a drive circuit that lowers the maximum output power to a safe level based on the range of the hostile target from the laser. In certain embodiments, the disclosed non-lethal dazzling device can be coupled to the bridge of a binocular device.

    摘要: Hand-held devices combine smartphones and electronic binoculars. In “in-phone” embodiments, binocular functionality is integrated directly into the housing or body of a smartphone modified in accordance with the invention. In “in-case” embodiments, the binoculars are integrated into a case to receive a smartphone which may be of conventional design. In “in-module” embodiments, electronic binoculars are integrated into a separate housing adapted for attachment to a phone or case. In all embodiments, components within the phone may be used for image manipulation, image storage, and/or sending and receiving/streaming stereoscopic/3D/live/video motion imagery. The imagery gathering devices may be supported on or in one of the longer side edges of the phone or case, whereas the display magnifying eyepieces are preferably associated with the opposing longer side edge of the phone or case. As such, in use, a user holds the phone or case in a generally horizontal plane during use as binoculars.

    摘要: A bracket for holding binoculars, the bracket having a cylinder shaped receptacle with a cylinder wall with an opening that extends between a first rim and a second rim of the cylinder wall. The first rim of the cylinder wall has a stop collar extending in an inward direction. An aperture is formed between the first rim and the second rim that is configured to receive a protrusion of an object to be held by swiveling the protrusion into the aperture for positively interlocking therewith. The bracket may be mounted on a tripod or on some wall of a hunter's raised blind for holding binoculars.
