Adjustable reticle device
First Claim
1. An adjustable reticle device comprising a hollow, substantially rectilinear body having an end wall provided with a threaded cylindrical aperture extending therethrough, fixed reticle means adjustably secured in said cylindrical aperture, a pair of reticle carriers moveably disposed in said body each of which has an identical reticle secured thereto adjacent to and coplanar with said fixed reticle means, each of said carriers being spaced apart from each other on opposite sides of said fixed reticle means with each carrier having a pair of orthogonally disposed cylindrical bores extending therethrough, a pin slideably located in each of said bores, a pair of threaded stems disposed in threaded engagement with each of said pins at right angles thereto and extending outwardly of said body, knob means located externally of said body on adjacent sides thereof disposed in operative connection with said stems and retaining means connected to said body for permitting rotation of said stems relative to said body while preventing axial movement of said stems so that each of said reticles attached to a respective carrier can be moved in two directions parallel to said stems independently of each other.

Abstract
A telescopic sight having objective lenses, intermediate lenses and an eyepiece is provided with an adjustable reticle device which is disposed in the second focal plane intermediate the eyepiece and said intermediate lenses. The adjustable reticle device is provided with a fixed center line reticle and two identical moveable reticles located on opposite sides of the center line reticle. The moveable reticles are each supported by a carrier which is moveable in two orthogonal directions by means of two threaded stems carried by the body of the adjustable reticle device. The stems are each provided with knurled knobs each of which has two arrows thereon disposed at right angles to each other on the side of knob facing the shooter so that the shooter can readily determine the direction of movement of bullet impact upon rotation of a knob in any specific direction.

- 5. A telescopic sight comprising a hollow cylindrical tube, objective lens means secured to one end of said tube, an additional lens means located within said tube to define a first focal plane adjacent one end of said tube intermediate said objective lens means and said additional lenses and a second optical plane adjacent the opposite end of said tube, an adjustable reticle device secured to said opposite end of said tube comprised of a fixed reticle means and two identical reticle means coplanar with said fixed reticle means and moveable independently of each other along two paths disposed at right angles to each other on opposite sides of said fixed reticle means and an eye piece having ocular lens means therein secured to said adjustable reticle device for focusing on said reticle means in said second focal plane.
