Reflex Sight with Two Position-Adjustable Reticles

Abstract

A reflex sight, having a mounting base that has an engagement element for attachment to a firearm. Also, a collimating front lens is mounted on the mounting base. A first reticle projection system projects a first reticle onto the front lens, at a first position, the first position being user adjustable, relative to the mounting base, by a first actuation assembly. In addition, a second reticle projection system, projecting a second reticle onto the front lens at a second position, the second position being user adjustable, relative to the first position by a second actuation assembly.

1 . A reflex sight, comprising:
 (a) a mounting base, including an engagement element for attachment to a firearm;   (b) a collimating front lens, mounted on said mounting base;   (c) a first reticle projection system, projecting a first reticle onto said front lens, at a first position, said first position being user adjustable, relative to said mounting base, by a first actuation assembly; and   (d) a second reticle projection system, projecting a second reticle onto said front lens at a second position, said second position being user adjustable, relative to said first position by a second actuation assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The reflex sight of  claim 1 , wherein said first actuation assembly permits user adjustment of elevation of said first position, relative to said mounting base. 
     
     
         3 . The reflex sight of  claim 2 , wherein said second actuation assembly permits user adjustment of elevation position of said second position, relative to first position. 
     
     
         4 . The reflex sight of  claim 2 , wherein said first actuation assembly also permits user adjustment of windage of said first position, relative to said mounting base. 
     
     
         5 . The reflex sight of  claim 4 , wherein said second actuation assembly permits user adjustment of windage of said second position, relative to said first position. 
     
     
         6 . The reflex sight of  claim 1 , including a first light emitting diode in said first reticle projection system, and a second light emitting diode in said second reticle projection system, and wherein light from said first light emitting diode is transmitted through a one-way mirror and light from said second light emitting diode is reflected by said one-way mirror, onto said collimating front lens. 
     
     
         7 . The reflex sight of  claim 1 , wherein said reticles are user adjustable by way of a set of threaded elements, each being engaged to an element upon which a light emitting diode is mounted. 
     
     
         8 . The reflex sight of  claim 1 , wherein first actuation assembly moves both said first position and said second position. 
     
     
         9 . The reflex sight of  claim 1 , wherein said first actuation assembly moves said first position relative to said second position, as well as relative to said base. 
     
     
         10 . A reflex sight having two reticles, having mutually differing appearance, each reticle being separately activated. 
     
     
         11 . The reflex sight of  claim 10 , wherein at least one of said reticles is position adjustable. 
     
     
         12 . The reflex sight of  claim 10 , wherein said reticles are different colors. 
     
     
         13 . The reflex sight of  claim 10 , wherein said reticles have mutually differing brightness. 
     
     
         14 . The reflex sight of  claim 10 , wherein said reticles are different sizes, one reticle being larger than the other. 
     
     
         15 . The reflex sight of  claim 10 , wherein said reticles have mutually differing shapes.
