Patent Images
1. A clip-on pivotable power source for powering a night vision device having pivot mounting members, said power source comprising:
- a battery compartment sized for at least one battery which powers the night vision device andelectrical interface means affixed to said battery compartment, for detachably coupling said power source to the night vision device via said pivot mounting members, and allowing said power source to pivot relative to the night vision device from a first position to a second position, thereby enabling a battery installed in said battery compartment to electrically connect to and electrically disconnect from said night vision device as said power source pivots from said first position to said second position.

Abstract
A clip-on power source for powering an ANVIS binocular. The power source has an electrical interface that enables the power source to be detachably coupled to the ANVIS binocular. The interface also enables the power source to pivot relative to the binocular from a first position to a second position to power-on and power-off the ANVIS binocular.

12. A hand-held night vision device comprising:
-
an aviator'"'"'s night vision imaging system (ANVIS) binocular having pivot mounting members; a clip-on pivotable power source for powering said binocular, said power source including a battery compartment sized for two double AA batteries which power said binocular; and electrical interface means affixed to said battery compartment, for detachably coupling said power source to said binocular via said pivot mounting members and allowing said power source to pivot relative to said binocular from a first position to a second position, thereby enabling batteries installed in said battery compartment, to electrically connect to and electrically disconnect from said binocular when said power source pivots from said first position to said second position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A clip-on pivotable power source for powering a night vision device having pivot mounting members, said power source comprising:
-
a battery compartment sized for at least one battery which powers the night vision device; an electrical interface affixed to said battery compartment, said interface including coupling means for detachably coupling said power source to the pivot mounting members of said night vision device thereby enabling said power source to pivot relative to the night vision device from a first position to a second position; and electrical contact means associated with said coupling means for enabling a battery installed in said battery compartment, to electrically connect to and electrically disconnect from said night vision device when said power source pivots from said first position to said second position.
