Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Zielfernrohr mit mindestens einem Hauptrohr und einer Zielmarke mit einer am Hauptrohr angeordneten Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung zum Justieren der Zielmarke und einer Fokussieroptik mit einer am Hauptrohr angeordneten Fokusverstelleinrichtung zum Fokussieren der Fokussieroptik.The invention relates to a telescopic sight with at least one main tube and a target with a target tube arranged on the main target adjustment for adjusting the target and a focusing optics with a main tube arranged Fokusverstelleinrichtung for focusing the focusing optics.

Vor allem bei Zielfernrohren mit hoher Vergrößerung muss die Fokussieroptik auf die Zielentfernung eingestellt bzw. fokussiert werden, um ein scharfes Bild zu erzielen. Ein weiterer Grund für eine entsprechende Fokussieroptik ist das Vermeiden eines Abstands zwischen dem durch das Objektiv erzeugten Bild des Zieles und der Zielmarke, da ein solcher Abstand zur Parallaxe und damit zu einem Zielfehler führen würde. Darüber hinaus benötigt zumindest jedes höherwertige Zielfernrohr eine Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung zum Justieren der Zielmarke.Especially with riflescopes with high magnification, the focusing optics must be set to the target distance or focused to achieve a sharp image. Another reason for a corresponding focusing optics is the avoidance of a distance between the image of the target generated by the lens and the target, since such a distance would lead to parallax and thus to a target error. In addition, at least each higher scopes requires a Zielmarkeverstelleinrichtung for adjusting the target.

Beim Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, als Fokusverstelleinrichtung objektivseitige Verstellringe zu verwenden. Darüber hinaus gibt es aber auch Zielfernrohre, bei denen im Bereich des Mittelrohres insgesamt drei Verstelltürme angebracht sind. Zwei davon dienen als Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung. Der Dritte dient als Fokusverstelleinrichtung.In the prior art, it is known to use as a focus adjustment objective-side adjusting rings. In addition, there are also rifle scopes in which a total of three adjustment towers are mounted in the area of the central tube. Two of them serve as Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung. The third serves as Fokusverstelleinrichtung.

Der objektivseitige Verstellring als Fokusverstelleinrichtung ist relativ unhandlich zu bedienen. Darüber hinaus bedingt er einen großen Durchmesser des Zielfernrohres im Objektivbereich und damit auch ein entsprechend hohes Gewicht. Zusätzlich ist eine relativ hohe Montage auf dem Gewehr notwendig.The lens-side adjusting ring as Fokusverstelleinrichtung is relatively unwieldy to use. In addition, it requires a large diameter of the riflescope in the lens area and thus a correspondingly high weight. In addition, a relatively high mounting on the rifle is necessary.

Die oben genannte Variante mit den drei Verstelltürmen hat zur Folge, dass zumindest die seitlich angebrachten Verstelltürme jeweils nur mit einer der Hände einfach zu bedienen sind. Darüber hinaus stellt diese Variante einen großen Platzverbrauch am Zielfernrohr da. Dies ist vor allem dann problematisch, wenn noch weitere Verstellfunktionen, wie zum Beispiel eine Steuerung der Helligkeit der Zielmarkenbeleuchtung vorgesehen sein soll. Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Variante ist, dass die an der Fokussieroptik eingestellte Entfernung nicht in der Flucht der Zielfernrohrachse ablesbar ist. Insgesamt ergibt sich bei der Variante mit den drei Verstelltürmen ein unruhiges Gesamterscheinungsbild des Zielfernrohrs. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, dass die zusätzliche Fokussiereinrichtung beim Führen der Waffe hinderlich ist.The above variant with the three adjustment towers has the consequence that at least the laterally mounted adjustment towers are easy to operate with only one of the hands. In addition, this variant puts a large amount of space on the riflescope there. This is especially problematic if even more adjustment functions, such as a control of the brightness of the target illumination should be provided. Another disadvantage of this variant is that the distance set on the focusing optics can not be read in the alignment of the target telescope axis. Overall, results in the variant with the three adjustment towers a restless overall appearance of the riflescope. Another disadvantage is that the additional focusing device when guiding the weapon is a hindrance.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Zielfernrohr dahingehend zu verbessern, dass die genannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden sind.The object of the invention is to improve a generic scope to the effect that the mentioned disadvantages of the prior art are avoided.

Dies wird erreicht, indem die Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung und die Fokusverstelleinrichtung in Form einer integrierten Verstelleinrichtung, vorzugsweise in Form eines integrierten Verstellturms, gemeinsam am Hauptrohr angeordnet sind.This is achieved by arranging the target mark adjusting device and the focus adjusting device in the form of an integrated adjusting device, preferably in the form of an integrated adjusting tower, together on the main pipe.

Es ist also vorgesehen, dass die integrierte Verstelleinrichtung sowohl die Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung als auch die Fokusverstelleinrichtung umfasst. Durch diese integrierte Ausführung der Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung und der Fokusverstelleinrichtung wird zusätzlicher Platz für zumindest eine weitere Bedienfunktion geschaffen. Darüber hinaus kann die Erfindung in relativ niedriger Bauweise ausgeführt werden, wodurch Behinderungen der Sicht über das Zielfernrohr hinweg weitgehend vermieden sind. Bei entsprechender Auslegung sind die Abmessungen der integrierten Verstelleinrichtung nicht wesentlich größer als die Abmessungen üblicher Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtungen. Durch die geringere Anzahl der von außen zu sehenden Verstelleinrichtungen ergibt sich auch ein insgesamt ruhigeres Erscheinungsbild des Zielfernrohres.It is therefore provided that the integrated adjusting device comprises both the Zielmarkeverstelleinrichtung and the Fokusverstelleinrichtung. This integrated design of the Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung and Fokusverstelleinrichtung additional space for at least one other control function is created. In addition, the invention can be carried out in a relatively low construction, which hinders obstruction of the view across the scope far away. With appropriate design, the dimensions of the integrated adjustment are not significantly larger than the dimensions of conventional Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtungen. Due to the smaller number of visible from the outside adjustment also results in a total quieter appearance of the riflescope.

Der Begriff des Hauptrohres bezeichnet allgemein das Gehäuse des Zielfernrohres. Es kann daher jede beliebige äußere Form, wie zum Beispiel einen runden, ovalen, rechteckigen oder anderweitig geformten inneren und/oder äußeren Querschnitt, aufweisen.The term main tube generally refers to the housing of the riflescope. It may therefore have any external shape, such as a round, oval, rectangular or otherwise shaped inner and / or outer cross-section.

Günstigerweise ist die integrierte Verstelleinrichtung in Betriebsstellung des Zielfernrohres oben auf dem Hauptrohr angeordnet, womit eine einfache Bedienung mit der rechten und der linken Hand möglich ist. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht dies auch ein einfaches Ablesen der eingestellten Entfernung, da die integrierte Verstelleinrichtung und die darauf außen angebrachten Skalen in der Flucht mit der Zielfernrohrachse liegen. Insbesondere können die Skalen für die Visierlinie und die Entfernung unmittelbar übereinander und damit bequem gleichzeitig ablesbar angeordnet werden.Conveniently, the integrated adjusting device is arranged in the operating position of the riflescope on top of the main pipe, whereby a simple operation with the right and left hand is possible. In addition, this also allows a simple reading of the set distance, since the integrated adjustment and the outboard attached scales are in alignment with the Zielfernrohachse. In particular, the scales for the sighting line and the distance can be arranged directly above one another and thus conveniently readable at the same time.

Ein weiterer Vorteil einer integrierten Verstelleinrichtung ist, dass bei einer koppelbaren Ausführung der Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung und der Fokusverstelleinrichtung eine automatische Ballistikkorrektur zumindest innerhalb gewisser Bereiche möglich ist.A further advantage of an integrated adjusting device is that, in the case of a couplable design of the target-mark adjusting device and the focus-adjusting device, an automatic ballistic correction is possible, at least within certain ranges.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist vorgesehen, dass die in die integrierte Verstelleinrichtung inkludierte Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung der Höhenverstellung der Zielmarke dient. Die Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung zur Seitenverstellung der Zielmarke kann dann zum Beispiel als separate Verstelleinrichtung bzw. als separater Verstellturm ausgebildet sein. Es ist aber auch möglich, auch die Seitenverstellung noch zusätzlich in die integrierte Verstelleinrichtung aufzunehmen oder die Höhenverstellung als separaten Verstellturm auszubilden und die Seitenverstellung mittels der integrierten Verstelleinrichtung vorzunehmen.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the target-mark adjusting device included in the integrated adjusting device serves to adjust the height of the target mark. The Zielmarkeverstelleinrichtung for lateral adjustment of the target can then be designed for example as a separate adjustment or as a separate adjustment tower. But it is also possible to additionally include the side adjustment in the integrated adjusting or form the height adjustment as a separate Verstellturm and make the side adjustment by means of the integrated adjustment.

Sowohl das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Zielfernrohr gemäß des Standes der Technik als auch das in Fig. 2 gezeigte erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsbeispiel weisen ein Hauptrohr 1 mit im Objektivbereich 27 und im Okularbereich 28 vergrößerten Durchmesser auf. Zwischen diesen Bereichen ist das Mittelrohr 29 des Hauptrohres 1 angeordnet. Dieses weist gegenüber den Bereichen 27 und 28 einen geringeren Durchmesser auf. Das Mittelrohr 29 trägt bei beiden Zielfernrohren die hier in Form von Verstelltürmen ausgebildeten Verstelleinrichtungen.Both the riflescope according to the prior art shown in FIG. 1 and the exemplary embodiment according to the invention shown in FIG. 2 have a main tube 1 with an enlarged diameter in the objective area 27 and in the eyepiece area 28. Between these areas, the central tube 29 of the main pipe 1 is arranged. This has compared to the areas 27 and 28 has a smaller diameter. The central tube 29 carries in both riflescopes here designed in the form of adjustment towers adjustment.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte bekannte Fernrohr weist drei Verstelleinrichtungen in Form der Verstelltürme 3, 4 und 5 auf. Dabei handelt es sich um die Fokusverstelleinrichtung 3 sowie um die Höhenverstellung 4 und die Seitenverstellung 5 als Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtungen.The known telescope shown in Fig. 1 has three adjusting devices in the form of Verstelltürme 3, 4 and 5. These are the focus adjustment device 3 and the height adjustment 4 and the lateral adjustment 5 as Zielmarkeverstelleinrichtungen.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 sind die Fokusverstelleinrichtung 3 und die Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung zur Höhenverstellung 4 in Form einer integrierten Verstelleinrichtung 26 ausgeführt. Als von Hand betätigbares drehbares Betätigungselement ist dabei für die Höhenverstellung 4 der Drehknopf 6 und für die Fokusverstelleinrichtung der den Drehknopf 6 umgebende Drehring 7 vorgesehen.In the embodiment according to the invention shown in FIG. 2, the Fokusverstelleinrichtung 3 and the Zielmarkeverstelleinrichtung for height adjustment 4 in the form of an integrated adjustment 26 are executed. As a hand operated rotatable actuator is provided for the height adjustment 4 of the knob 6 and the focus adjustment of the rotary knob 6 surrounding rotary ring 7.

Fig. 3 zeigt einen Vertikalschnitt durch die integrierte Verstelleinrichtung 26 entlang der optischen Achse 2. Sowohl der Drehring 7 als auch der Drehknopf 6 werden von einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse 11 getragen. Letzteres ist drehfest am Außenrohr 1 fixiert. Der Drehknopf 6 der Höhenverstellung 4 greift über eine Rastung 10, vorzugsweise permanent, in eine entsprechende Rastnuten 32 am Gehäuse 11 ein. Durch Drehen des Drehknopfes 6 wird die darin gelagerte und mit dem Drehknopf fest verbundene Spindel 8 bewegt, welche in vertikaler Richtung 24 durch Drehen ein- und ausgeschraubt wird. Die Spindel 8 liegt mit ihrem unteren Ende am Gehäuse 9 eines an sich bekannten Umkehrsystems an. In dieses ist wiederum die Zielmarke 25 integriert. Durch Ein- und Ausschrauben der Spindel 8 wird so die Höhenverstellung der Zielmarke 25 vorgenommen. Der koaxial mit dem Drehknopf 6 angeordnete Drehring 7 hat, wie besonders gut in Fig. 4 zu sehen, eine exzentrisch bezüglich der Drehachse 21 angeordnete innere Ausnehmung 20, in der ein dadurch exzentrisch gelagerter Innenring 12 angeordnet ist. Am Ring 12 fixiert ist wiederum ein Mitnehmerstift 13, welcher in einer Längsnut 14 des Hauptrohres 1 zwangsgeführt ist. Der Mitnehmerstift 13 ist wiederum fix mit der Fokussieroptikfassung 15 verbunden, welche im Inneren des Hauptrohres 1 in den Richtungen 30 parallel zur optischen Achse 2 des Zielfernrohres verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Fokussieroptikfassung 15 trägt die hier als Einzellinse ausgebildete Fokussieroptik 16.Fig. 3 shows a vertical section through the integrated adjusting device 26 along the optical axis 2. Both the rotary ring 7 and the knob 6 are supported by a common housing 11. The latter is fixed against rotation on the outer tube 1. The knob 6 of the height adjustment 4 engages via a detent 10, preferably permanently, in a corresponding locking grooves 32 on the housing 11 a. By turning the knob 6, the stored therein and fixedly connected to the knob spindle 8 is moved, which is in the vertical direction 24 by turning and unscrewed. The spindle 8 rests with its lower end on the housing 9 of a known reversing system. In this turn, the target mark 25 is integrated. By screwing in and unscrewing the spindle 8 so the height adjustment of the target mark 25 is made. The coaxially arranged with the knob 6 rotary ring 7, as can be seen particularly well in Fig. 4, an eccentric with respect to the rotation axis 21 arranged inner recess 20 in which an eccentrically mounted thereby inner ring 12 is arranged. Fixed on the ring 12 is in turn a driving pin 13, which is forcibly guided in a longitudinal groove 14 of the main pipe 1. The driving pin 13 is in turn fixedly connected to the Fokussieroptikfassung 15, which is mounted in the interior of the main tube 1 in the directions 30 parallel to the optical axis 2 of the riflescope slidably. The focusing optics holder 15 carries the focusing optics 16 embodied here as a single lens.

Durch diese Anordnung ist gewährleistet, dass bei Drehen des Drehrings 7 die Symmetrieachse 31 des Innenrings 12 in eine der Richtungen 30 verschoben wird. Hierdurch ergibt sich zwangsgeführt ein entsprechendes Verschieben des Mitnehmerstiftes 13 innerhalb der Längsnut 14 und damit ein Verschieben der Fokussieroptik 16 innerhalb des Hauptrohres 1 entlang der optischen Achse 2, womit das Zielfernrohr fokussiert werden kann. Außen am Drehring 7 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Entfernungsskala 17 angeordnet, die die eingestellte Entfernung anzeigt. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist durch eine entsprechende Länge der Längsnut 14 der maximal mögliche Drehwinkel des Drehrings 7 auf < 180° begrenzt. Der Drehwinkel kann aber auch 360° oder einen beliebigen anderen Winkel betragen. Der Anschlag ist jeweils entsprechend auszubilden. Grundsätzlich ist die Drehwinkelbegrenzung optional.By this arrangement it is ensured that upon rotation of the rotary ring 7, the axis of symmetry 31 of the inner ring 12 is displaced in one of the directions 30. This results in positively guided a corresponding displacement of the driver pin 13 within the longitudinal groove 14 and thus a displacement of the focusing lens 16 within the main tube 1 along the optical axis 2, whereby the scope can be focused. Outside on the rotary ring 7, a distance scale 17 is arranged in the embodiment shown, which indicates the set distance. In the embodiment shown, the maximum possible angle of rotation of the rotary ring 7 is limited to <180 ° by a corresponding length of the longitudinal groove 14. The angle of rotation can also be 360 ° or any other angle. The stop is to be trained accordingly. In principle, the rotation angle limitation is optional.

Sowohl der Drehknopf 6 als auch der Drehring 7 sind über Dichtungen 19 gegen das Gehäuse 11 und damit gegen das Hauptrohr 1 abgedichtet.Both the knob 6 and the rotary ring 7 are sealed by seals 19 against the housing 11 and thus against the main pipe 1.

Als Aufsatz auf den Drehknopf 6 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eine Kappe 18 vorgesehen. Diese kann mit dem Gehäuse 11 verschraubbar sein, um ein unabsichtliches Verstellen des Drehknopfes 6 und damit der Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung zu verhindern. In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Kappe 18 der Kopplung der Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung 4 mit der Fokusverstelleinrichtung 3 zur automatischen entfernungsabhängigen Ballistikkorrektur dient. In diesem Fall kann die Kappe 18 in zwei in vertikaler Richtung 24 voneinander beabstandete Endlagen auf dem Drehknopf 6 bewegt werden. In der unteren Endlage greift die außen an der Kappe 18 angebrachte Verzahnung 22 in eine entsprechende Innenverzahnung 23 am Drehring 7 ein. In dieser Stellung sind die Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung 4 und die Fokusverstelleinrichtung 3 miteinander gekoppelt. In der oberen Endlage der Kappe 18 ist dann vorgesehen, dass die Verzahnung 22 und 23 nicht mehr ineinander greifen, womit die Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung 4 und Fokusverstelleinrichtung 3 entkoppelt und damit unabhängig voneinander bedienbar sind. Diese Entkoppelung ist zum Beispiel auch zur Grundjustierung bzw. Anpassung des Zielfernrohres an die Waffe sinnvoll. Im gekoppelten Zustand ergibt sich über die Kappe 18 und den Ring 17 eine insgesamt relativ große Angriffsfläche zur manuellen Bedienung und die automatische entfernungsabhängige Ballistikkorrektur.As an attachment to the knob 6, a cap 18 is provided in this embodiment. This can be screwed to the housing 11 to prevent unintentional adjustment of the knob 6 and thus the Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung. In a preferred embodiment, however, provision can also be made for the cap 18 to be used for coupling the target-brand adjustment device 4 to the focus-adjustment device 3 for automatic distance-dependent ballistic correction. In this case, the cap 18 can be moved in two vertically spaced 24 mutually spaced end positions on the knob 6. In the lower end position, the outside of the cap 18 mounted teeth 22 engages in a corresponding internal toothing 23 on the rotary ring 7 a. In this position, the Zielmarkeverstelleinrichtung 4 and the Fokusverstelleinrichtung 3 are coupled together. In the upper end position of the cap 18 is then provided that the teeth 22 and 23 no longer interlock, whereby the Zielmarkenverstelleinrichtung 4 and 3 Fokusverstelleinrichtung decoupled and thus are independently operable. This decoupling is also useful, for example, for basic adjustment or adaptation of the riflescope to the weapon. In the coupled state results over the cap 18 and the ring 17 a total of relatively large attack surface for manual operation and automatic distance-dependent ballistics correction.
