Abstract

A superposing device including a superposer; a base including a first material; and an adaptor including a second material connecting the superposer to the base, wherein the first material and the second material are magnetically-complementing materials that are attracted to one another such that the superposer can be secured to the base while the orientation of the superposer can be adjusted relative to the base.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed herein is: 
     
         1 . A superposing device comprising:
 (a) a superposer;   (b) a base comprising a first material; and   (c) an adaptor comprising a second material connecting said superposer to said base, wherein said first material and said second material are magnetically-complementing materials that are attracted to one another such that said superposer can be secured to said base while the orientation of said superposer can be adjusted relative to said base.   
     
     
         2 . The superposing device of  claim 1 , wherein said adaptor is one of a first adaptor comprising a top portion, a bottom portion and a semi-spherical member disposed on said bottom portion, said superposer is configured to be attached to said top portion and said base comprises a ring and said semi-spherical member is configured to be supportedly and adjustably attached to said ring and a second adaptor comprising a top portion, a bottom portion and a ring disposed on said bottom portion, said superposer is configured to be attached to said top portion and said base comprises a semi-spherical member and said ring is configured to be supportedly and adjustably attached to said semi-spherical member. 
     
     
         3 . The superposing device of  claim 2 , wherein said semi-spherical member comprises a first radius, and said ring comprises a second radius and said first radius is configured to be larger than said second radius in order that said semi-spherical member contacts said ring along a periphery of said ring. 
     
     
         4 . The superposing device of  claim 1 , wherein said superposer comprises a scope comprising an adjustable indicator within said scope, said adjustable indicator configured to be superposed over an object at a target plane. 
     
     
         5 . The superposing device of  claim 1 , wherein said superposer comprises a device configured for projecting a light at a target plane. 
     
     
         6 . A method for zeroing a projectile device having a scope and a superposer, said method comprising:
 (a) adjusting the aim of the projectile device by aiming a reticle of the scope at the center of a bullseye at a target plane disposed at a distance and firing a first shot of the projectile device to create a first point of impact at said target plane;   (b) holding the aim of the reticle of said scope at the center of the bullseye at the target plane and adjusting the aim of the superposer at the center of the bullseye at the target plane; and   (c) holding the aim of the superposer at the center of the bullseye and adjusting the aim of the reticle of the scope at the center of the point of impact,   wherein a subsequent shot fired from the projectile device is configured to impact a second point of impact aimed at with the reticle of the scope at the target plane.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein at least one of said adjusting step, said first holding step and said second holding step further comprises aligning the reticle of at least one of the scope and the superposer with a parallax elimination device. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the scope is selected from the group consisting of a mechanical scope, a digital scope and a night vision-enabled scope.
