Memory indicia system for an optical rifle scope and a method for forming an individual alignment range in an optical scope

Abstract

The memory indicia system allows to make a distinctive alignment range on an optical scope of a firearm. The system comprises a basic indicia indicator, which is to be attached to the alignment turret of an optical scope, and one or more additional indicia components to be attached on the basic indicia indicator. Both the basic indicia indicator and additional indicia component have at least a range value indicating the alignment distance, an alignment mark, and a cartridge code as indication of the type of cartridge used. The basic indicia indicator and the additional indicia component are film-like components the one side of which has a film adhesive covered by a removable protective film. The components are attached to the rim of the optical scope's alignment turret after the firearm has been aligned. The memory indicia system also comprises a separate cartridge item indicator to be attached to a cartridge box.

1 . A memory indicia system for making a distinctive alignment range on an optical scope, which memory indicia system comprises a basic indicia indicator to be attached to the alignment turret of an optical scope and one or more additional indicia components to be attached on the basic indicia indicator, which basic indicia indicator and additional indicia components comprise at least a range value indicating the alignment distance and an alignment mark. 
   
   
       2 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 1 , wherein the basic indicia indicator and additional indicia components further comprise a cartridge code as indication of the cartridge used in alignment. 
   
   
       3 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 2 , wherein the range value, alignment mark and cartridge code are graphic symbols that are differentiated from the background of the basic indicia indicator. 
   
   
       4 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 3 , wherein said graphic symbols are in the form of parallelograms, squares, triangles, circles or a combination of these shapes. 
   
   
       5 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 3 , wherein the said graphic symbols constitute numbers and/or letters. 
   
   
       6 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 1 , wherein the basic indicia and the additional indicia are film-like components the one surface of which has a film adhesive covered by a removable protective film. 
   
   
       7 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 1 , wherein the basic indicia and additional indicia may be layered on the rim or on top of the alignment turret on the optical scope. 
   
   
       8 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 1 , wherein the basic indicia indicator and additional indicia component are made of transparent material. 
   
   
       9 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 2 , which further comprises a cartridge item indicator, which has the same cartridge code as the basic indicia indicator and/or the additional indicia components, to be attached onto a separate cartridge box. 
   
   
       10 . A memory indicia system according to  claim 9 , wherein the cartridge item indicator is a film-like component, the one surface of which has a film adhesive covered with a removable protective film. 
   
   
       11 . A method for making a distinctive alignment range in an optical scope having an alignment turret and fixed mark, in which method
 a first distance is chosen to which the shooter wishes to align the firearm and the firearm is aligned to the chosen distance,   a basic indicia indicator comprising at least a range value that indicates the alignment distance and an alignment mark, is attached to the alignment turret of an optical scope such that the alignment mark of the basic indicia indicator is placed at the fixed point of the optical scope,   at least one other distance is chosen to which the shooter wishes to align the firearm and the firearm is aligned to the chosen distance,   an additional indicia component comprising at least a range value that indicates the alignment distance and an alignment mark, is attached to the alignment turret of an optical scope such that the alignment mark of the additional indicia component is placed at the fixed point of the optical scope.   
   
   
       12 . A method according to  claim 11 , wherein basic indicia and additional indicia are used that have a cartridge code as indication of the type of cartridge used in alignment. 
   
   
       13 . A method according to  claim 11 , wherein the basic indicia and additional indicia are layered in the rim or on top of the alignment turret of the optical scope. 
   
   
       14 . A method according to  claim 11  wherein the basic indicia and additional indicia are film-like components, which are attached in place with the film adhesive on them.
