Telescopic Sight Integrated Adjustment Tower
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing telescopic sights with high magnification face issues due to unwieldy focus adjustment devices that require large diameters and weights, leading to aiming errors and a cluttered appearance, especially when additional functions like brightness control are needed, and the separate adjustment turrets complicate operation and obstruct the view.
Innovation Solution
An integrated adjustment device combining the target mark and focus adjustment on the main tube, allowing for a more compact design, easier operation, and additional space for other functions, with the focus and target mark adjustments aligned for easy reading and potential automatic ballistics correction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate adjustment turrets are used for focus and target mark adjustment, then each adjustment function is independently accessible, but the device becomes cluttered, occupies excessive space, and has a restless appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the focus adjustment device and target mark adjustment device into a single integrated adjustment turret. This merging eliminates the cluttered appearance and space occupation of multiple separate turrets while maintaining both adjustment functions within one unified structure, directly resolving the contradiction between operational independence and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated adjustment turret serves multiple functions simultaneously - it provides both focus adjustment and target mark adjustment capabilities. This multi-functional design allows the single device to replace what would traditionally require separate specialized devices, reducing overall complexity while preserving operational independence through internally separated adjustment mechanisms.
2Measurement precision
If an adjustment ring on the lens side is used as focus adjustment device, then focusing is achieved, but the device becomes unwieldy, requires large diameter, and increases weight
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the focus adjustment mechanism within the central tube structure rather than using a separate lens-side adjustment ring. This merging eliminates the need for a large-diameter adjustment ring, thereby reducing both the overall diameter and weight of the telescopic sight while maintaining precise focusing capability through the integrated mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of placing the focus adjustment device on the lateral surface of the lens (requiring large diameter), the patent positions it within the central tube structure along the optical axis. This dimensional repositioning allows focus adjustment functionality to be achieved without increasing the radial dimensions or weight of the telescopic sight.
3Adaptability or versatility
If three separate adjustment turrets are used, then all adjustment functions are available, but the overall appearance becomes restless and space on the rifle scope is excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple adjustment functions into a single integrated adjustment turret located on the central tube. This consolidation creates a calmer, more streamlined appearance by eliminating the restless visual effect of multiple separate turrets, while all necessary adjustment functions (focus, target mark height, and lateral adjustment) remain available within the unified structure.
4Measurement precision
If additional focusing device is added, then focusing capability is improved, but it becomes a hindrance when wielding the weapon
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the focus adjustment device with the target adjustment turret into a single unified structure on the central tube. This merging eliminates the obstruction caused by separate focusing devices, improving weapon wieldability while maintaining full focusing capability through the integrated mechanism that can be accessed without interfering with weapon handling.

AI summary
The sighting telescope has a main pipe and a target mark with a target mark adjustment device (5), arranged at the main pipe, for adjusting the target mark. A focusing optics has a focus adjustment device arranged at the main pipe, for focusing the focusing optics. The target mark adjustment device and the focus adjustment device are arranged together at the main pipe in form of an integrated adjustment device (26), preferably in form of an integrated adjusting tower.
