SUPPLEMENTARY SIGHT AID ADAPTABLE TO EXISTING AND NEW SCOPE

摘要

A sight aid including a supplementary sight alignment indicator having a projection plane and a projection device adapted to project a supplementary sight alignment indicator and at least one reference point on the projection plane, the supplementary sight alignment indicator is axially-centered with respect to the sight alignment indicator and spaced apart therefrom on the optical axis for forming a composite image with the image of the sight alignment indicator, the target image being viewable together by the user by means of the ocular lens and the projection plane is disposed at a distance from the sight alignment indicator. An adaptor secures the supplementary sight alignment indicator to a portion of the projectile device or the housing.

主权项

1. A method for aiding aiming of a projectile device with respect to a target, the projectile device functionally coupled with a telescope having a primary sight alignment indicator carried in a reticle, an objective lens and an optical axis, said method comprising:
(a) disposing a sight aid comprising a supplementary sight alignment indicator, forward of the objective lens such that said supplementary sight alignment indicator is centrally located with respect to the optical axis and said supplementary sight alignment indicator is disposed at a distance from the primary sight alignment indicator; (b) pointing the telescope at the target; (c) centering an image of the target on the optical axis; and (d) centering a composite image of the primary sight alignment indicator and said supplementary sight alignment indicator to one another and the image of the target so as to perfect aim of the scope with respect to the target.
