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.

International Classification:

F41G 1/38

US Classification:

42122, 42119, 42130

Abstract:

A reticle of a projectile weapon aiming system such as a riflescope includes a primary aiming mark adapted to be sighted-in at a first selected range and further includes a plurality of secondary aiming marks spaced apart below the primary aiming mark. The secondary aiming marks are positioned to compensate for ballistic drop at preselected incremental ranges beyond the first selected range, for a selected group of ammunition having similar ballistic characteristics. Angles subtended by adjacent aiming marks of the reticle can be adjusted by changing the optical power of the riflescope, to thereby compensate for ballistic characteristics of different ammunition. In some embodiments, the reticle includes a set of windage aiming marks spaced apart along at least one secondary horizontal axis intersecting a selected one of the secondary aiming marks, to facilitate compensation for the effect of crosswinds on the trajectory of the projectile.

International Classification:

F41G 1/38

US Classification:

42122, 89 4117

Abstract:

A method for aiming a projectile weapon may utilize an aiming device having a primary aiming mark adapted to be sighted-in at a first selected range and one or more secondary aiming marks spaced below the primary aiming mark, and includes identifying, from at least two different groups of projectiles, a projectile group corresponding to a selected projectile. An aiming adjustment for the projectile weapon is determined and effected based on the range to the target and the nominal ballistic characteristics of the identified projectile group corresponding to the selected projectile. Other methods of aiming include identifying one projectile group from two or more predetermined projectile groups based on a selected projectile. Each predetermined projectile group preferably includes two or more different projectiles, preferably of different calibers, and a projectile having ballistic characteristics that are approximately median for each such projectile group.

International Classification:

A63B 57/00

US Classification:

473407000

Abstract:

A device comprises a rangefinder, memory, display, and processor. The rangefinder can measure a distance between a user and a target on a course. The memory stores data concerning a plurality of clubs including a hitting distance for each of the golf clubs. The processor, which is connected to the rangefinder, memory, and display, is configured to select, based on the measured distance, a recommended golf club and to determine a recommended swing speed for a golfer to hit a golf ball with the recommended golf club. The processor is further configured to cause the display to indicate the recommended golf club and swing speed. The device may alternatively or additionally comprise an inclinometer and calculate an adjusted distance based on tilt and the distance, and select the recommended golf club based on the adjusted distance.
