Appl. No.:

09/596600

Inventors:

Rick Regan - Portland OR
Victoria J. Peters - Forest Grove OR
Wayne Perley - West Linn OR

Assignee:

Leupold Stevens, Inc. - Beaverton OR

International Classification:

H02J 700

US Classification:

320112

Abstract:

A replaceable battery module for a battery-powered device includes a protective conductive canister sized to receive an electric storage battery. A conductive contact extends through an aperture of the canister for contacting a first terminal of the battery. A second terminal of the battery is electrically contacted by the canister. A preferred configuration of the canister and contact allow both of the terminals of the battery to be accessed from one end of the battery module. A seal is positioned between the canister and the contact for electrically insulating them and for sealing the aperture to prevent leakage of the battery beyond the battery module. A socket for electrically contacting the battery module is formed by a power input terminal assembly mounted within a battery-receiving cavity of a battery-powered device. The power input terminal includes a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal positioned to contact the respective conductive contact and canister of the battery module when the battery module is installed in the battery-powered device and urged toward the input terminals.

Assignee:

Leupold Stevens, Inc. - Beaverton OR

International Classification:

G02B 2300

US Classification:

359429, 359399, 359425

Abstract:

A pre-assembled pivoting lens unit is disclosed that includes a pivot cartridge capable of being at least partially received by an optical sighting device housing, along with a pivot tube defining a first end movably coupled to the pivot cartridge and a second end capable of moving transversely to the longitudinal axis of the device housing. Disposed in the pivot tube between the first and second ends is a lens assembly capable of focusing an image when the lens unit is at least partially received by the device housing. A fastener is used to secure the pivot cartridge to the first end of the pivot tube, and a resilient member interposes the fastener and pivot tube first end to enable relative pivoting movement of the pivot tube.

International Classification:

G02B 23/00

US Classification:

359425, 359399, 359431

Abstract:

A compact spotting scope includes a housing with an outer surface having a grasping region sized and shaped to fit in the palm of a user's hand so that the spotting scope can be held at eye level with one hand in an ergonomic arm and wrist position for steady support. An optical element positioned within the housing is adjusted by manually rotating a side-mounted adjustment knob that extends laterally from the outer surface of the housing opposite the grasping region. The side-mounted position of the adjustment knob allows the arm and wrist of the focusing hand to be maintained in an ergonomic position during manipulation of the adjustment knob, thereby further facilitating steady support. An internal support member of the spotting scope includes a frame portion and a generally tubular portion, which are preferably formed together of unitary one-piece construction for aligning optical elements of the spotting scope.
