1. An apparatus comprising a sight that includes:
- a housing with first and second openings;
an optics section that is disposed within said housing, and that optically influences radiation from a scene received through said first opening so as to deliver through said second opening a viewable image that is a function of the radiation, said optics section including image erecting optics and eyepiece optics;
an optics support section supporting said optics section within said housing, said image erecting optics and said eyepiece optics being supported by said optics support section for movement relative to said housing; and
an adjusting section cooperable with said optics support section so as to facilitate adjustment of the position of said image erecting optics and said eyepiece optics relative to said housing;
wherein said optics support section includes a member supported for movement relative to said housing and having said image erecting optics and said eyepiece optics supported thereon, said adjusting section effecting movement of said member relative to said housing;
wherein said movement of said member relative to said housing is pivotal movement; and
wherein said optics section includes objective optics stationarily supported on said housing, said member being pivotal about a pivot point located in the region of said objective optics.

Abstract
A sight includes a housing with first and second openings, and includes an optics section that is disposed within the housing, that has image erecting optics and eyepiece optics, and that optically influences radiation received through the first opening from a scene, so as to deliver through the second opening a viewable image that is a function of the radiation. An adjusting section facilitates adjustment of the position of the image erecting optics and the eyepiece optics within the housing.

10. An apparatus comprising a sight that includes:
-
a housing having means defining first and second openings; optics means disposed within said housing for optically influencing radiation from a scene received through said first opening so as to deliver through said second opening a viewable image that is a function of the radiation, said optics means including image erecting means for erecting an image in said radiation, and eyepiece means for finalizing said viewable image; optics support means for supporting said optics means within said housing, said optics support means supporting said image erecting means and said eyepiece means for movement relative to said housing; and adjusting means cooperable with said optics support means for facilitating adjustment of the position of said image erecting means and said eyepiece means relative to said housing; wherein said optics support means includes a member supported for movement relative to said housing and having said image erecting means and said eyepiece means supported thereon, said adjusting means effecting movement of said member relative to said housing; wherein said optics support means supports said member for pivotal movement relative to said housing; wherein said optics means includes objective means for collecting radiation from the scene; and wherein said optics support means supports said member for pivotal movement about a pivot point located in the region of said objective means. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
