AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Optics for handguns, particularly those used in law enforcement, face challenges in maintaining stability, reliability, and operational capability under harsh conditions due to the need for protective casings that increase weight and installation space, leading to frequent replacements and resource inefficiencies.

Method used

A housing design for handgun optics with a specific weight distribution between the lens system and housing, using a lightweight metal alloy or thermoplastic composite, and a locking system for secure mounting, along with varying wall thicknesses and robust manufacturing processes to ensure stability and durability.

Benefits of technology

The design enhances the optics' stability, reliability, and service life, allowing them to withstand extreme conditions and maintain operational readiness for extended periods without significant weight or space penalties, facilitating easy mounting and dismounting without adjustment.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an optic (1) for a handgun (100), wherein the optic (1) comprises a housing (2) and a lens system (3) arranged at least partially in the housing (2), comprising at least one eyepiece (4) and one objective lens (5), wherein a distance (S) between the eyepiece (4) and the objective lens (5) forms a section of a first spatial direction (X) along which the optic is formed and to which a second spatial direction (Y) and a third spatial direction (Z) are perpendicular, by which the geometric space for the optic is defined, wherein the housing (2) has a housing weight (GG) and the optic (1) has a total optic weight (OG). To increase the stability and / or the maintenance of the reliability and operational capability of an optic for a handgun, it is proposed that the housing weight (GG) be between 33% and 66%, preferably between 37.5% and 57.5%, most preferably between 39.5% and 47.5% of the total optic weight (OG). The invention further relates at least also to a housing (2) for an optic (1) for a handgun (100).
