摘要： An optical viewing system (10) includes first (26), second (14) and third (16) image modifying devices together with an adaptor assembly (12) for connecting the image modifying devices together. The adaptor assembly (12) has first (22) and second (24) clamping portions. The first clamping portion (22) is connected to the first (26) and second (14) image modifying devices and the second clamping portion (24) is connected to the first clamping portion (22) and to the first (26) and third(16) image modifying devices so that the first image modifying device (26) is clamped between the second (14) and third (16) image modifying devices. At least one of the first (22) and second (24) clamping portions is removably connected to the first image modifying device (26) so that the first image modifying device (26) can be removed from the adaptor assembly (12) and operate as a further independent optical viewing system. Different combinations of image modifying devices can be arranged with one or more of the clamping portions.

摘要： An optical viewing assembly (130) for transferring image information from one image modifying device (78) to another image modifying device (74) includes first and second clamping portions (14) integrally formed at opposite ends of a hollow sleeve (12). Each clamping portion (14) has a pair of clamping legs (24, 26) that are separated from the sleeve (12) by a circumferential slot (16) to permit movement of the clamping legs (24, 26) toward and away from each other by manipulation of a locking lever (44). Movement of the clamping legs (24, 26) toward each other reduces a cross dimension of the clamping portions (14) to thereby clamp an image modifying device therein. Conversely, movement of the clamping legs (24, 26) away from each other increases a cross dimension of the clamping portions (14) to thereby release a clamped image modifying device.
