Rifle scope targeting display adapter mount

Abstract

This disclosure describes a compact and lightweight rifle scope display adapter configured to be affixed in front of the objective lens of a rifle scope. The display adapter includes a receptacle that enables the adapter to be electrically connected to a ballistic computer, rangefinder or other targeting mechanism. The display adapter is configured to receive aimpoint information and project illuminated symbology that is brought into focus by the rifle scope optics in such a way that the symbology appears to overlay an image of a scene on which the rifle scope is focused. The adapter includes a mounting assembly that provides two attachment mechanisms. A first ring of the RDA can be screwed into the threads on the interior surface of the scope. Additionally, the scope can be inserted into a second ring of the RDA and provides compressive, radial pressure against the outside surface of the scope.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An assembly for securely mounting a rifle scope display adapter (RDA) onto a scope body, the scope body having a threaded interior surface and an external surface, the assembly comprising:
 a first ring configured to be coupled to the RDA and the scope body, wherein:
 the first ring comprises a threaded exterior surface that is configured to mate with the threaded interior surface of the scope body; and 
 the first ring is configured to be coupled to the RDA such that the first ring can rotate around a center axis of the first ring.
