Abstract

The invention concerns a telescopic rifle sight for individual weapon equipped with at least one step micro-motor designed to vary the angle of the sight relative to the axis of the weapon and the initial axis of aim, thereby adequately varying the whole sight assembly and thus varying the original position of the sight reticle from the original point of aim to the required point of aim.

Claims

1. Telescopic sight for an individual weapon, comprising at least one step micro-motor designed to vary the angle of the sight relative to the axis of the weapon and an initial axis of aim and a laser beam rangefinder which determines the distance between a marksman and a target and transmits the distance to a computer having stored in memory a drop of a bullet at this distance, said computer controlling said at least one step micro-motor based upon the determined distance and the drop of the bullet at this distance, thereby adequately varying the whole sight assembly and thus varying the original position of the sight reticle from the original point of aim to a required point of aim.

2. Telescopic sight according to claim 1, wherein a first step micro-motor is positioned so as to enable the sight to be pivoted about a horizontal axis in order to correct the aim up or down relative to a point zero, depending on the distance and the drop of the bullet.

3. Telescopic sight according to claim 1, wherein a second step micro-motor is positioned so as to enable the sight to be pivoted about a vertical axis in order to correct the aim in terms of bearing to the right or left relative to a point zero depending on the direction of the wind and/or the displacement of the target.

4. Telescopic sight according to claim 1, wherein it has batteries, whereby the batteries may or may not be rechargeable.

5. Telescopic sight according to claim 4, wherein the batteries are rechargeable, and further including solar cells for the purpose of recharging the batteries.

6. Telescopic sight according to claim 1, wherein the sight has a zoom camera, an LCD screen which can be pivoted about its fixing, a screen on which the sight reticle is displayed along with various items of information relating to firing, a visible laser beam pointer, an audio-video recording system, an audio video transmitter-receiver, solar cells, power batteries, three external sockets, a frame enabling all the sight components to be attached, a fixing for connecting the sight onto the weapon and a protective cap for the sight.
