Abstract

An alignment mechanism uses two adjustment plates. A first adjustment plate is pivotal about a first adjustment axis and a second adjustment plate is rotatable about a second adjustment axis. The first and second adjustment axes are perpendicular to one another. The first plate has a front portion through which the first adjustment axis passes and a rear portion having a first alignment surface and a tension spring secured to the rear portion opposite the first alignment surface. The second adjustment plate has a front portion and a rear portion having a second alignment surface and a tension spring secured between the second alignment surface and the rear portion of the first adjustment plate.

Abstract

An alignment mechanism has a base with a front right quadrant, a front left quadrant, a rear right quadrant, and a rear left quadrant. The base further defines a yaw axis and a pitch axis. A ball and socket linkage is located on the base at either the front right quadrant or front left quadrant at the intersection of the yaw axis and the pitch axis. A pressure plate assembly is also on the bottom surface of the base at the other of the front right quadrant and front left quadrant. A spring is in contact with one of the rear right quadrant and rear left quadrant and kitty-corner with the ball and socket linkage, with a yaw alignment surface on the other of the rear right quadrant and rear left quadrant. A pitch alignment surface is also on one of the rear right quadrant and rear left quadrant.

Abstract

A viewing optic is disclosed. In one embodiment, the viewing optic is a rifle scope having a scope body, a movable optical element defining an optical axis connected to the scope body, a turret and a zero point adjustment subassembly. The turret includes a turret screw, a turret chassis subassembly and a turret cap. The turret screw defines a screw axis and is operably connected to the optical element for adjusting the optical axis in response to rotation of the screw. The turret cap at least partially overlaps the turret chassis subassembly. The zero point adjustment subassembly includes a zero cap connected to the turret screw and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism releasably secures the zero cap and the turret. The zero point adjustment subassembly permits adjustment of the zero point without the use of tools.

Abstract

A riflescope with a scope body has a movable optical element defining an optical axis connected to the scope body. The riflescope also has a turret having an outer knob and a turret screw defining a screw axis and operably connected to the optical element for changing the optical axis in response to rotation of the turret screw. The riflescope also includes a zero-adjustment assembly contained within the turret and operably interfacing with the turret screw. The zero-adjustment assembly comprises a zero-adjustment disc and a locking collar disposed around a downward facing central shaft of the zero-adjustment disc. The zero-adjustment disc is contained in an upper recess of the outer knob. The locking collar has a first position in which the zero-adjustment disc is freely rotatable about the turret screw and a second position in which free rotation of the zero-adjustment disc is prevented.
