Locking turret
First Claim
1. An adjustment turret for an optical sight, the adjustment turret comprising:
- a body including an axial threaded bore extending therethrough, said body further including a cavity;
an adjustment shaft threadably engaging said axial threaded bore for relative rotation therebetween;
a cap connected to said adjustment shaft for rotation with said adjustment shaft relative to said body and at least partially receiving said adjustment shaft, said cap being axially movable relative to said body and said adjustment shaft between a first position and a second position; and
a locking pin axially movable with said cap when said cap is moved between said first position and said second position, said locking pin being received in said cavity when said cap is in said first position to prevent relative rotation between said cap and said body and removed from said cavity when said cap is in said second position to allow relative rotation between said cap and said body.

Abstract
An adjustment turret for an optical sight includes a body, an adjustment shaft, a cap, and a locking pin. The body includes a cavity and an axial bore. The adjustment shaft threadably engages the axial bore for relative rotation therebetween. The cap is connected to the adjustment shaft for rotation with the adjustment shaft relative to the body and is axially movable relative to the body and the adjustment shaft between a first position and a second position. The locking pin is axially movable with the cap and is received in the cavity when the cap is in the first position to prevent relative rotation between the cap and the body and is removed from the cavity when the cap is in the second position to allow relative rotation between the cap and the body.

19. An adjustment turret for an optical sight, the adjustment turret comprising:
-
a body including a first stop tab and an axial threaded bore extending through said body; an adjustment shaft threadably engaging said axial threaded bore for relative rotation therebetween; a cap connected to said adjustment shaft for rotation with said adjustment shaft relative to said body; and a stop ring including a second stop tab selectively interfering with said first stop tab to limit rotation of said adjustment shaft in a first direction. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
