LONG-RANGE OPTICAL APPARATUS INCLUDING BINOCULARS

摘要

A long-range optical apparatus, particularly a binocular having two tubes for accommodating long-range optical devices, includes a first folding bridge, a second folding bridge, and preferably a third folding bridge. The folding bridges are pivotably arranged between the tubes of the long-range optical device and each include a first and a second bridge element associated with each other and pivotable relative to each other. At least one folding bridge has a fit that prevents mechanical contact of the bridge elements to each other at least in regions of the pivoting range of the bridge elements.

主权项

1. A long range optical apparatus comprising:
a first tube configured to receive long range optical elements; a second tube configured to receive long range optical elements; a first folding bridge pivotally arranged between said first tube and said second tube; a second folding bridge pivotally arranged between said first tube and said second tube; each one of said first and second folding bridges having first and second bridge elements assigned thereto and said bridge elements being configured to be pivotal with respect to each other; the first and second bridge elements of each one of said folding bridges conjointly defining a fold or pivot region; and, at least one of said first and said second folding bridges having a fitting configured to prevent mutual mechanical contact of the first and second bridge elements thereof in the fold or pivot region corresponding thereto.
