Abstract

An optical sight of the present invention may aim at an object via a cross. The optical sight has a focusing adjuster for focusing and a brightness adjuster for adjusting luminance on a cross. The focusing adjuster and the brightness adjuster are made at the same position that user may operate the optical sight more conveniently.

Claims (25)

1. An optical sight, comprising:

a barrel;

a lens assembly received in the barrel;

a lens with a cross received in the barrel;

a light emitting device received in the barrel to emit light to the lens to light the cross up;

a focusing adjuster, which is provided at the barrel, including a focusing knob rotating along a center of rotation to move at least a lens of the lens assembly along an optical axis for focusing when the focusing knob is turned;

a brightness adjuster, which is provided at the barrel, including a brightness knob rotating along the center of rotation of the focusing knob to change a luminance of the light emitting device when the brightness knob is turned; and

a power source electrically connected to light emitting device through the brightness adjuster.

2. The optical sight as defined in claim 1 , wherein the barrel has a body and a base fixed to the body, and the focusing adjuster and the brightness adjuster are provided at the base.

3. The optical sight as defined in claim 2 , wherein the focusing adjuster is more proximal to the body than the brightness adjuster.

4. The optical sight as defined in claim 3 , wherein the barrel has a body, a first base provided on the body, and a second base provided on the first base, and the focusing adjuster is provided on the first base, and the brightness adjuster is provided on the second base.

5. The optical sight as defined in claim 4 , further comprising a frame, on which the lens assembly is mounted, wherein the frame has an axle inserted into an opening of the first base, and the focusing adjuster further has a focusing cam pivoted on the barrel to be turned along with the focusing knob, and the focusing cam has a slot to be engaged with the axle of the frame that the focusing cam moves the frame along the optical axis when the focusing is turned.

6. The optical sight as defined in claim 1 , wherein the brightness adjuster includes a main circuit board fixed to the barrel and having at least a pad to be electrically connected to the light emitting device and a brightness control circuit board connected to the brightness knob to be turned along with the brightness knob, wherein the brightness control circuit board has a plurality of resistors with different resistances to contact the pads when the brightness knob is turned.

7. An optical sight, comprising:

a barrel having at least a base;

a lens assembly received in the barrel;

a lens with a cross received in the barrel;

a light emitting device received in the barrel to emit light to the lens to light the cross up;

a focusing adjuster, which is provided at the base of the barrel, including a focusing knob rotating along a first center of rotation to move at least a lens of the lens assembly along an optical axis for focusing when the focusing knob is turned;

a brightness adjuster, which is provided at the base of the barrel, including a brightness knob rotating along a second center of rotation to change a luminance of the light emitting device when the brightness knob is turned; and

a power source electrically connected to light emitting device through the brightness adjuster.

8. The optical sight as defined in claim 7 , wherein the barrel has a body, a first base provided on the body, and a second base provided on the first base, and the focusing adjuster is provided on the first base, and the brightness adjuster is provided on the second base.

9. The optical sight as defined in claim 7 , wherein the first center of rotation and the second center of rotation are located at the same line.

10. The optical sight as defined in claim 7 , further comprising a frame, on which the lens assembly is mounted, wherein the frame has an axle inserted into an opening of the first base, and the focusing adjuster further has a focusing cam pivoted on the barrel to be turned along with the focusing knob, and the focusing cam has a slot to be engaged with the axle of the frame that the focusing cam moves the frame along the optical axis when the focusing is turned.

11. The optical sight as defined in claim 7 , wherein the brightness adjuster includes a main circuit board fixed to the barrel and having at least a pad to be electrically connected to the light emitting device and a brightness control circuit board connected to the brightness knob to be turned along with the brightness knob, wherein the brightness control circuit board has a plurality of resistors with different resistances to contact the pads when the brightness knob is turned.
