Rifle scope having elevation and windage angle adjustment and measurement assembly

摘要

A rifle scope, comprising: a scope housing and an optical train, supported in the scope housing and defining an optical axis having a pointing direction. Also, a pointing angle adjustment electrical user input device includes a first button having a first position that does not cause the pointing angle to change, and a second position that causes a progressive change in the pointing angle over time in a first direction. The user input device also includes a second button, also having a first position and a second position and wherein placing the second button in the second position causes the pointing angle to change over time in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Finally, the rifle scope includes an electric actuator, adapted to change the pointing direction, responsive to the user input device.

1. A rifle scope having a front and a back, comprising:
(a) a scope housing; (b) an optical train, supported in said scope housing and defining an optical axis having a pointing angle, and having an eyepiece permitting user viewing of an image, at said back; (c) an elevation and windage angle adjustment assembly, including:
(i) an elevation and windage angle adjustment user input assembly;(ii) and an actuator assembly adapted to introduce a change in said pointing angle at a predetermined point; and (d) an elevation and windage angle measurement assembly, including:
(i) a laser assembly, positioned to emit a beam along said optical axis;(ii) a 2-axis position sensor adapted to sense said beam and measure its position at a location separated by said predetermined point from said laser; and(iii) a data processor, adapted to determine said pointing direction from said beam position measurement.
