| 20090002851 | Sub-Micron Adjustable Mount for Supporting a Component and Method - An optical assembly includes a light path and at least one optic to be positioned in the path. A support arrangement supports the optic having a foot arrangement including at least one foot that receives a direct manipulation with the foot slidingly engaged against a support surface to move the optic relative to the light path. Movement of the foot may move the optic along a predetermined path. The foot defines a footprint for engaging the support surface and receives the direct manipulation in a way which changes the footprint on the support surface to move the optic responsive to changes in the footprint. A movement arrangement may selectively bias the foot against the support surface during a movement mode, intended to permit movement of the foot against the support surface, and in a locked mode, intended to lock the foot against the support surface. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090135505 | MECHANISM FOR TRANSLATING A NIGHT VISION GOGGLE - A mechanism for adjusting the position of an optical device with respect to a field helmet along an axis of translation is provided. The mechanism comprises an optical device mounting component for coupling to the optical device. A field helmet mounting component for coupling to the field helmet is slideably coupled to the optical device mounting component along the axis of translation. A lever configured for selectively engaging a surface of either mounting component permits translation of the optical device mounting component along the axis of translation with respect to the field helmet. The optical device mounting component is configured to translate along the axis of translation with respect to the field helmet between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein the optical device is proximal to the helmet in the retracted position and distal to the helmet in the extended position. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090135506 | SCREW ACTUATED NIGHT VISION GOGGLE TILT MECHANISM - A mechanism for adjusting the angular position of an optical device with respect to a field helmet is disclosed. The mechanism includes an optical device mounting component for coupling to the optical device. A field helmet mounting component is provided for coupling to the field helmet. The field helmet mounting component is rotatably coupled to the optical device mounting component about an axis of rotation. An angular adjustment mechanism is engaged between the optical device mounting component and the field helmet mounting component. The angular adjustment mechanism includes a translating member that is moveably translatable along an axis of translation for engaging a surface of either the field helmet mounting component or the optical device mounting component. Translation of the translating member along the axis of translation induces rotation of the optical device mounting component about the axis of rotation for adjusting the angular position of the optical device. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090135507 | TILT ADJUSTMENT LOCKING MECHANISM FOR A HEAD-MOUNTED NIGHT VISION DEVICE - A mechanism for permitting selective adjustment of the angular position of a head-mounted night vision device is provided. The mechanism comprises a housing positioned adjacent the night vision device. A shaft defining a longitudinal axis is at least partially positioned within or adjacent the housing. The shaft is rotatively coupled to the night vision device, wherein rotation of the shaft induces rotation of the night vision device. A moveable lever is coupled to the shaft for rotating the shaft. Means for selectively limiting rotation of the shaft are provided, wherein the means are moveable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the means permit rotation of the shaft and the optical device, and in the second position the means limit rotation of the shaft and the optical device. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20100118421 | Sub-Micron Adjustable Mount for Supporting a Component and Method - An optical assembly includes a light path and at least one optic to be positioned in the path. A support arrangement supports the optic having a foot arrangement including at least one foot that receives a direct manipulation with the foot slidingly engaged against a support surface to move the optic relative to the light path. Movement of the foot may move the optic along a predetermined path. The foot defines a footprint for engaging the support surface and receives the direct manipulation in a way which changes the footprint on the support surface to move the optic responsive to changes in the footprint. A movement arrangement may selectively bias the foot against the support surface during a movement mode, intended to permit movement of the foot against the support surface, and in a locked mode, intended to lock the foot against the support surface. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20140268373 | COMFORTABLE FINGER MOUNTED OPTICAL DEVICE - A comfortable finger mounted optical device requiring an optical device, at least one bonding holder, strap, or elastic band sized to receive any finger(s) or thumb, and a base plate or case. The comfortable finger mounted optical device can have many different variations including, but not limited to, the incorporation of split rings, straps, elastic bands, sleeves, Fresnel lens, or pivotal or slidable lens assemblies. In addition, the comfortable finger mounted optical device can have various attachments including, but not limited to, advertisements, an elastic cover, or LED's. This device is useable, convenient, as well as comfortable and snug-fitting. | 09-18-2014 |
| 359816000 | Monocular loupe type | 3 |
| 20100067126 | DUAL MOUNT ADAPTER - An adapter for night vision goggles includes a body including a first arm and a second arm each configured to receive a night vision goggle mount. A first night vision goggle mount is removably attached to the first arm or the second arm and a base extends from the body for attaching the adapter to night vision goggles. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20150098141 | HEADWARE MOUNTABLE OPTICAL DEVICE - A removable optical loupe that is mountable to headwear is provided. The inventive loupe is configured to clip on to the brim of a hat, or the bill of a cap or visor. Embodiments of the inventive loupe have a pivoting joint for positioning the lens of the optical loupe into and out of the line of sight when not in use. The lens of the inventive optical loupe is used for magnifying objects for inspection. | 04-09-2015 |
| 20160124178 | HEADWARE MOUNTABLE OPTICAL DEVICE - A removable optical loupe that is mountable to headwear is provided. The inventive loupe is configured to clip on to the brim of a hat, or the bill of a cap or visor. Embodiments of the inventive loupe have a pivoting joint for positioning the lens of the optical loupe into and out of the line of sight when not in use. The lens of the inventive optical loupe is used for magnifying objects for inspection. | 05-05-2016 |
