Abstract:
A sight system for a firearm or like device can comprise a housing; a lens coupled to the housing; a power source disposed in the housing; a switch in electronic communication with the power source; an emitter system disposed in the housing and in electronic communication with the switch; and/or a motion sensor. The emitter system can comprise a first emitter configured to present a primary reticle visible via the lens, and/or a second emitter configured to present a secondary reticle visible via the lens. The motion sensor can be in electronic communication with the second emitter. The first emitter and the second emitter can be electronically in parallel with one another. In response to a predetermined nonmovement duration passing without the motion sensor detecting movement, the sight system can be configured to disable the second emitter and maintain the first emitter to continue to present the primary reticle.
Abstract:
Aiming systems are provided for use with a particle projection device. Such aiming systems may have a housing mountable to the particle projection device for movement therewith, a window defining a field of view when in a first orientation and a second field of view when in a second orientation. A first reticle image is visible in the window when the housing and particle projection device are at the first orientation with the first reticle image representative of a projection path of the particles in the first field of view. A second reticle image is visible in the window when the housing and particle projection device are at the second orientation with the second reticle image being representative of a projection path of the particles in the second field of view.
Abstract:
A sighting device, including an optical element having a concave reflection surface and an aiming light source and forming in a visual field frame, comprises a main-body housing section that houses the optical element and the aiming light source and has an opening on an upper surface side, a cover member that covers the upper surface side of the main-body housing section, and a link mechanism that couples the main-body housing section and the cover member and moves the cover member with respect to the main-body housing section. The cover member is moved by the link mechanism between a closed position where the cover member covers the opening of the main-body housing section and an open position where the cover member is disposed in a position separated from the opening of the main-body housing section and forms an optical path of the aiming light.

An optical device has a tube including a tube wall defining a viewing bore. A light source is in communication with the viewing bore for illuminating an aim point visible in the viewing bore. A control system includes a circuit board supported by the tube exterior of the viewing bore. The control system is in communication with the light source for controlling brightness of the illuminated aim point. The control system includes a light sensor mounted to the circuit board and extending from the circuit board through the tube wall into the viewing bore for sensing light in the viewing bore.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a sighting device, containing an elongate light source (11) and an elongate body (15) made from a material which conducts light and/or collects light. The light source (11) and body (15) are disposed coaxially. A user looking into the device in the viewing direction (3) sees at least one luminous mark under all light conditions. In weak or failing ambient light, at least the light source (11) appears as a luminous dot and in strong ambient light, the face of the body (15) directed towards the user radiates collected light. In the transition range between weak and strong ambient light, both the light source (11) and the luminous face of the body (15) are visible to the user.
