Patent Images
1. An adjustment assembly particularly suitable for actuation by a lever, comprising:
- (a) a housing member;
(b) a cap member connected to said housing member;
(c) rotatable drive means constrained between said cap member and said housing member, said drive means capable of being selectively rotated by said lever;
(d) a limited access aperture in said cap member sized to permit insertion of said lever into said cap member for rotation of said drive means; and
(e) non-rotatable driven means engaged by said drive means, said driven means exhibiting movement substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of said drive means when said drive means is rotated.

12. In a sighting system, an adjustment assembly particularly suitable for activation by a lever comprising:
-
(a) a housing member; (b) a pair of cap members connected to said housing member; (c) a pair of rotatable drive means, wherein each of said drive means is constrained between a respective one of said cap members and said housing member, each of said drive means capable of being selectively rotated by said lever; (d) a limited access aperture in each of said cap members sized to permit the insertion of said lever into said cap members for independent rotation of each of said drive means; and (e) a pair of non-rotatable driven means, each engaged by a respective one of said drive means, each of said driven means exhibiting independent movement substantially mutually perpendicular to a sighting axis when said respective one of said drive means is rotated. - View Dependent Claims (13)
