Abstract

A dot sight device is discussed, which includes a window frame enclosing a transparent lens; a body plate extending from the window frame; a light emitter disposed on the body plate, and configured to emit a light that forms a pattern on the transparent lens; two bolts to mount the dot sight device on various fire arms without tools; a large water drainage hole disposed on the body plate; multiple rails installed on the window frame to accommodate various equipment; an IR detector disposed at the front of the body plate; a caliber adjustment knob disposed on the body plate, and configured to enable targeting by firearms of different calibers; and a dual bullet drop compensation wheel disposed in the body plate for an accurate aiming and hitting targets using various firearms.

Claims

1. A dot sight device comprising:

a window frame enclosing a transparent lens;

a body plate extending from the window frame;

a light emitter disposed on the body plate, and configured to emit a light that forms a pattern on the transparent lens;

a brightness detector disposed at a side of the body plate;

a brightness detector switch configured to selectively activate the brightness detector;

a brightness switch configured to enable a user to manually change a brightness of the pattern;

a battery case disposed at a rear of the body plate;

a magnifier movably attached to the body plate;

a caliber adjustment knob disposed on the body plate, and configured to enable targeting by firearms of different calibers;

a dual bullet drop compensation wheel disposed in the body plate, and configured for bullet drop compensation over distances in use with the caliber adjustment knob for targeting of the firearms of different calibers; and

an infrared (IR) detector disposed at a front of the body plate.

2. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of bolts configured to attach the dot sight device to firearms of different calibers.

3. The dot sight device of claim 2, wherein the different calibers include 5.56 mm, 7.62 mm, 8.6 mm, 12.7 mm, and 20 mm.

4. The dot sight device of claim 3, wherein the caliber adjustment knob is a dual caliber selector that adjust between 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm, 8.6 mm and 12.7 mm, 12.7 mm and 20 mm.

5. The dot sight device of claim 3, wherein the caliber adjustment knob is a dual caliber selector that adjust between any two calibers chosen from 5.56 mm, 7.62 mm, 8.6 mm, 12.7 mm, and 20 mm.

6. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the transparent lens has at least one of a rectangular shape, a windshield shape, a trapezoid shape, a lens shape, an oval shape, a rounded pentagon shape, and an octagonal shape.

7. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the transparent lens has an area configured to display targeting information.

8. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the magnifier is movably attached to the body plate by one of a swing mount and a flip mount.

9. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising a protective window disposed in front of the transparent lens, and configured to protect the transparent lens and to reduce reflection from the transparent lens.

10. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising a polarized filter or a honeycomb in front of the transparent lens, the polarized filter or the honeycomb being configured to protect the transparent lens and to reduce reflection from the transparent lens.

11. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising a drainage hole formed through the body plate, located in front of the light emitter, and configured to drain accumulation of at least one of dirt, snow and water quickly and efficiently.

12. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the light emitter includes an LED lens protector configured to reduce accumulation of at least one of dirt, snow and water.

13. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising a bullet drop compensation device, wherein the dual bullet drop compensation wheel operates the bullet drop compensation device.

14. The dot sight device of claim 13, wherein the bullet drop compensation device is one of a scissor type and a wheel type.

15. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising a light emitter module that houses the light emitter, wherein the bullet drop compensation device is configured to cause movement of the light emitter module.

16. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the light emitter emits at least one of visible light or infrared (IR) light.

17. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the light emitter emits an infrared (IR) light, and the transparent lens is coated with a material that converts the IR light into visible light.

18. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the visible light is one of red or green color.

19. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising at least one picatinny rail attached to at least one of the window frame and the body plate.

20. The dot sight device of claim 1, further comprising a laser distance finder attached to the window frame.

21. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the light emitter includes a light emitting diode (LED), and at least one of the light emitter and the LED is movable to use in targeting of firearms of different calibers.

22. The dot sight device of claim 1, wherein the dual bullet drop compensation wheel corresponds to one set of two calibers, and is exchangeable with another dual bullet drop compensation wheel corresponding to another set of two calibers.
