Operating Element for a Telescopic Sight
First Claim
1. An actuator for adjusting the lead mark of a telescopic sight, wherein said actuator is in the form of a rotary knob mounted for rotation on said telescopic sight and, when said rotary knob is turned, the position of the lead mark displaced via an adjusting mechanism in the vertical and/or horizontal direction, and said rotary knob has one or more indexing elements, by means of which one or more positions of the lead mark can be indexed, and when said rotary knob is turned in an actuating mode the one or more indexing elements are entrained with said rotary knob and in an indexing mode the indexing elements are displaced, independently of said rotary knob, in the peripheral direction of said rotary knobs, which rotary knob has one or more recesses in the peripheral direction at its lateral surface MAN, wherein, in at least one recess there is mounted at least one indexing element for rotation in the peripheral direction, said one or more indexing elements being coupled in their recesses to said rotary knob in such a manner that they are entrained with said rotary knob when the latter is turned, wherein the external surface of said one or more indexing elements is offset from the lateral surface of said rotary knob in the direction of the axis of rotation of said rotary knob and said one or more indexing elements are permanently and displaceably disposed in said recesses.

Abstract
The invention relates to an operating element adjusting the cross-hairs of a telescopic sight. The operating element is in the form of a rotating knob, arranged to rotate on the telescopic sight, whereby a rotation of the rotating knob adjusts the cross-hairs be means of an adjuster mechanism. The rotating knob comprises one or several index marks, by means of which one or more positions of the cross-hairs may be indexed. The one or several index element(s) is/are arranged in one or several recess(es) and may be displaced therein in the circumferential direction of the rotating knob. The index elements are furthermore coupled to the rotating knob in the recesses such as to be rotated with the rotating knob on a rotation of the same. According to the invention, the outer surface(s) of the index element(s) are recessed relative to the outer surface of the rotating knob in the direction of the rotational axis of the rotating knob and the one or several index element(s) is/are arranged to be permanently displaceable in the recess(es).
