Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional riflescopes experience movement due to gun shocks, leading to misalignment and issues with attached head-up displays.
Innovation Solution
A clip-on display system with a clamp that includes lateral members, a collar, and clamp arms to securely mount a beam splitter or head-up display to a riflescope, maintaining boresight alignment during gun shocks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a head-up display is attached to a conventional riflescope, then the riflescope can provide ballistically corrected aiming coordinates, but the head-up display experiences slippage and movement relative to the scope due to gun shocks
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp arm is designed to be resilient and flexible, allowing it to dynamically respond to gun shocks by deforming elastically during the shock event and then returning to its original position. This dynamic behavior allows the clamp to maintain continuous contact with the scope without slippage or permanent deformation, solving the mounting stability problem while accommodating the high-impact environment
Solution Approach 2:
The clamp arm's material properties are selected to exhibit specific elastic deformation characteristics under shock loads. The parameter of elastic deformation is utilized to allow temporary flexibility during gun shocks while maintaining overall structural integrity and mounting precision, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and reliability
2Stability of the object's composition
If the riflescope telescoping front is subjected to gun shocks, then the scope returns to its original position due to elasticity, but any attached peripheral experiences slippage or movement relative to the scope
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp arm is designed to be resilient and flexible, allowing it to dynamically respond to gun shocks by deforming elastically during the shock event and then returning to its original position. This dynamic behavior allows the clamp to maintain continuous contact with the scope without slippage or permanent deformation, solving the mounting stability problem while accommodating the high-impact environment
Solution Approach 2:
The clamp arm utilizes its own elastic properties to automatically adjust and maintain proper clamping force during and after shock events. The resilient material allows the clamp to self-regulate its grip on the scope, ensuring continuous alignment without requiring external adjustment mechanisms or intervention

AI summary
A clip-on display for mounting to a riflescope may include a clamp member. The clamp may include first lateral member. The clamp may include a second lateral member spaced apart from the first lateral member. The clamp may include a collar that extends between and couples the first lateral member and the second lateral member. The clamp may include a first clamp arm and a second clamp arm. Each of the first clamp arm and the second clamp arm may include a fixed end that extends from the first lateral member and a free end that is coupleable with the second lateral member to tighten the respective clamp arm. The clip-on display may include a beam splitter coupled with the clamp.
