AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The solution provides a stable, secure, and fatigue-free observation experience by distributing the weight evenly across the forehead or nose, allowing for adjustable support and maintaining symmetry, thus reducing user fatigue and enabling prolonged use without discomfort.

Problems solved by technology

This is exhausting, tiring, and over time—depending on the eyepiece design—even painful, and sometimes causes the observer to tremble.
This is an even greater problem for people wearing glasses, because the support force of the eyepieces at the head is transferred via the glasses to the (root of the) nose.
In addition, no wiggle-free observation is possible in case of strong enlargement.

Abstract

The invention relates to a binocular telescope comprising two tubes, which are connected in an articulate fashion with a swivel hinge pivotal around a joint bending axis. With a forehead contact unit comprising a comprehensive support device the binoculars can be supported in the area of the root of the nose or the forehead of the observer. The support device is here arranged at a body of the binoculars.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 263,654, filed on Jan. 31, 2019, which claims priority from Austrian Application No. A 50094 / 2018 filed Feb. 1, 2018, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to binoculars made of two tubes with a support device for supporting the binoculars on the forehead or root of the nose of a user.[0003]Double-lens glasses, also called binoculars or field glasses, are used for hands-free monitoring of remote objects. Such products have been used for more than a century and are used for example in leisure, for hunting, and in the military. They usually consist of two mirror-symmetrically formed hollow bodies, arranged in a pivotal fashion about a common swivel axis—also called bending axis. At the user side these hollow bodies show a pair of eyepieces and at the lens side they show a pair ...
