Optical Sight Single-Position Focusing and Brightness Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional optical sights require users to repeatedly shift their hand between focusing and brightness adjusters, which can obstruct the user's view and hinder immediate awareness of surroundings while aiming, indicating a need for improved ergonomic design.
Innovation Solution
Integration of focusing and brightness adjusters at the same position on the optical sight's barrel, with a rotating knob system and a light emitting device to facilitate simultaneous adjustment of focus and brightness using a single hand, allowing for clear viewing without obstructing the user's field of vision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If focusing adjuster and brightness adjuster are provided at different positions on the barrel, then each adjuster can be independently operated, but the user has to shift hand between them repeatedly which obstructs the user's view and hinders immediate awareness of surroundings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the focusing adjuster and brightness adjuster into a single integrated control mechanism located at the same position on the barrel. This allows the user to operate both functions without moving the hand to different locations, eliminating the obstruction of view and maintaining situational awareness while enabling independent operation of both adjusters
2Ease of operation
If focusing and brightness controls are integrated at the same position, then hand shifting is eliminated and view obstruction is reduced, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple adjustment functions into a single control position, combining the focusing adjuster and brightness adjuster in one location. This merging approach eliminates the need for separate control positions while maintaining the independent operability of each function, thus improving ease of use without proportionally increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated control mechanism serves multiple functions simultaneously - both focusing adjustment and brightness control are performed from the same position. This multi-functionality allows a single control structure to handle multiple operational requirements, reducing the need for additional separate components

AI summary
An optical sight of the present invention may aim at an object via a cross. The optical sight has a focusing adjuster for focusing and a brightness adjuster for adjusting luminance on a cross. The focusing adjuster and the brightness adjuster are made at the same position that user may operate the optical sight more conveniently.
