example 1

[0167] Example 1: Zeroing a firearm

[0168] To set a zero point at a given distance (say 100 yards), the user first attaches a rifle scope to the rifle. The user will then shoot at the target. Between each shot, the user will adjust the knob until the point of impact is where they want it to be. Once the impact point is at the desired location, the user will remove the adjustment knob outer knob, then turn all zero point stop rings to their full clockwise position (could be counterclockwise if the adjustment knob pitch is in the opposite direction, which is sometimes the case in other countries is desired) until the base pin contacts the terminating end on the concentric cam track on the bottom side of the zero stop.

[0169] Next, the user will replace the adjuster knob with the "0" facing directly, after which the knob pin will align with the "start" of the cam track on the top side of the zero point stop ring. At this point, the zero stop will no longer allow clockwise ...

example 2

[0171] In the configuration of the device disclosed herein, on the first turn of the adjuster knob, the knob pin will ride inside the concentric cam track on the top side of the zero point stop ring. The zero point stop ring remains stationary on the first turn. When the first turn ends, the knob pin contacts the terminating end of the cam track so that when the second turn begins, the knob and zero stop ring rotate together. On the second turn, the base pin tracks around the concentric cam track on the bottom side of the zero point stop ring until, near the end of the second turn, it contacts the terminating end of the bottom side concentric cam track, stopping the adjustment knob all sports. Reversing will allow the adjustment knob to return to its original position or "zero stop".

example 3

[0173] In one configuration of the device disclosed herein, on the first turn, the zero point stop ring and the knob pin rotate together, with the base pin orbiting inside the bottom concentric cam track until it contacts the terminating end. At this point, a second revolution begins and the knob pin will cycle around the concentric cam track on the top side of the zero point stop ring until it hits the termination end near the end of the second rotation.

Abstract

A turret for a telesopic scope comprising: a knob (210), a ring (240) with one or two tracks (242, 250), wherein the one or two tracks are located on the top and / or bottom of the ring (240); and a base (220), wherein at least one of the knob or base has a pin (230) which is gliding in one of the one or two tracks of the ring. The tracks have at least one terminated end (260) working as a limit stop for the pin. An arrangement of one pin gliding in one track realizes a zero stop allowing a free rotation of nearly 360 degrees. An arrangement of 2 pins gliding in 2 tracks respectively realizes azero stop allowing a free rotation of nearly 720 degrees. This system can be further expanded with additional tracks in additional rings having corresponding pins.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is a non-provisional application of, and claims priority to, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 287,665, filed January 27, 2016, which is incorporated herein in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to an adjustment knob for firearms. In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to an adjustment knob having a zero point stop. Background technique [0004] Over the past decade, long-distance shooting has grown in popularity in the United States and around the world. Forms of long-distance shooting include long-distance hunting, target shooting, competition, law enforcement, and military applications. As long-distance shooting became more popular, shooters became more proficient, and the shooting industry as a whole became more advanced. [0005] One advancement in long-distance shooting over the past decade has been ballistics. As shooting progressed, sho...
