下文將參考圖式更全面地描述本文所揭露的裝置和方法的各個態樣。 然而，本揭露可實施為許多不同的形式，且不應被解釋為僅限於本揭露全文呈現的任何特定結構或功能。The various aspects of the device and method disclosed herein will be described more fully below with reference to the drawings. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the disclosure.
如第1圖所示，雙筒望遠鏡100包含一右鏡筒110和左鏡筒120、一組目鏡光學件130、物鏡光學件140以及一調焦旋鈕190。縱軸L自目鏡端E延伸至物鏡端O。期望雙筒望遠鏡的使用能夠調節目鏡光學件130間的眼距（interpupillary distance，IPD）以與使用者的眼距相配。為達此一目的，雙筒望遠鏡100提供了一組可樞轉的橋接部分160、162和可樞轉的橋接部分170、172，其允許使用者調節左鏡筒120與右鏡筒110之間距。如第2圖所示，後面的橋接部分160和162以及前面的橋接部分170和172（第2圖中未示出）被配置以提供一第一眼距D1。在第3圖中，後面的橋接部分160和162以及前面的橋接部分170和172（第3圖中未示出）被配置以提供一第二眼距D2。右鏡筒110界定了自第一目鏡光學件130延伸至第一物鏡光學件140之一第一縱軸。左鏡筒120界定了實質上平行於第一縱軸之一第二縱軸，該第二縱軸自第二目鏡光學件130延伸至第二物鏡光學件140。橋接部分160、162和橋接部分170、172圍繞實質上平行於該第一縱軸和該第二縱軸的一第三縱軸成角度地樞轉，並且能夠調節該第一目鏡光學件和該第二目鏡光學件之間的眼距。As shown in FIG. 1 , binoculars 100 include a right barrel 110 and a left barrel 120, a set of eyepiece optics 130, an objective optics 140, and a focus knob 190. A longitudinal axis L extends from the eyepiece end E to the objective end O. It is desirable that the use of binoculars can adjust the interpupillary distance (IPD) between the eyepiece optics 130 to match the user's eye distance. To achieve this purpose, binoculars 100 provide a set of pivotable bridge portions 160, 162 and pivotable bridge portions 170, 172 that allow the user to adjust the distance between the left barrel 120 and the right barrel 110. As shown in FIG. 2, the rear bridge portions 160 and 162 and the front bridge portions 170 and 172 (not shown in FIG. 2) are configured to provide a first interocular distance D1. In FIG. 3, the rear bridge portions 160 and 162 and the front bridge portions 170 and 172 (not shown in FIG. 3) are configured to provide a second interocular distance D2. The right lens barrel 110 defines a first longitudinal axis extending from the first eyepiece optical component 130 to the first objective lens optical component 140. The left lens barrel 120 defines a second longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis, the second longitudinal axis extending from the second eyepiece optical component 130 to the second objective lens optical component 140. The bridge portions 160, 162 and the bridge portions 170, 172 angularly pivot about a third longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis and are capable of adjusting the interocular distance between the first eyepiece optics and the second eyepiece optics.
根據所揭露之標的，雙筒望遠鏡100提供一眼距鎖定組件。眼距鎖定組件將右鏡筒110和左鏡筒120的相對位置維持在所期望的眼距。此外，當有將雙筒望遠鏡100調節至新眼距的需求時，鎖定組件允許右鏡筒110和左鏡筒120相對於彼此樞轉至新眼距。According to the disclosed subject matter, binoculars 100 provide an eye distance locking assembly. The eye distance locking assembly maintains the relative position of the right lens barrel 110 and the left lens barrel 120 at a desired eye distance. In addition, when there is a need to adjust the binoculars 100 to a new eye distance, the locking assembly allows the right lens barrel 110 and the left lens barrel 120 to pivot relative to each other to the new eye distance.
第4圖示出雙筒望遠鏡100部分分離的元件。第5-7圖示出眼距鎖定裝置180的特定子組件。如第5圖所示，一樞轉構件（例如：開口螺釘（split screw）200）耦接至左鏡筒120之左邊前面的橋接部分170。第11圖更詳細地示出開口螺釘200。開口螺釘200包括一主要的軸部分201和一凸緣202，主要的軸部分201具有延伸穿過其中的一中心孔（bore）203。軸部分201延伸穿過左邊前面的橋接部分170中的孔（aperture）173。凸緣202接觸左邊前面的橋接部分170且相對於左邊前面的橋接部分170穩定開口螺釘200。一定位銷210穿過開口螺釘200之凸緣202中的凹部204，並穿過左邊前面的橋接部分170中的孔（aperture）174，以防止開口螺釘200在左邊前面的橋接部分170的孔173內旋轉。FIG. 4 shows partially separated components of binoculars 100. FIGs. 5-7 show specific subassemblies of eye relief lock 180. As shown in FIG. 5, a pivot member (e.g., split screw 200) is coupled to the left front bridge portion 170 of the left barrel 120. FIG. 11 shows split screw 200 in more detail. Split screw 200 includes a main shaft portion 201 and a flange 202, the main shaft portion 201 having a center hole (bore) 203 extending therethrough. The shaft portion 201 extends through the aperture (aperture) 173 in the left front bridge portion 170. The flange 202 contacts the left front bridge portion 170 and stabilizes the split screw 200 relative to the left front bridge portion 170. A dowel pin 210 passes through a recess 204 in the flange 202 of the split screw 200 and through an aperture 174 in the left front bridge portion 170 to prevent the split screw 200 from rotating within the aperture 173 of the left front bridge portion 170.
如第6圖所示，一襯套220耦接至右鏡筒110的右邊前面的橋接部分172。第13圖更詳細地示出襯套220。襯套220被配置使得襯套220的孔（bore）221與右邊前面的橋接部分172中的孔（aperture）175對準。一個或多個螺釘230穿過襯套220中的孔洞223並進入右邊前面的橋接部分172中的螺紋孔洞176以將襯套220固定至右邊前面的橋接部分172。應當理解，襯套220可透過本發明所屬技術領域已知的其他方式（例如：黏著劑）固定至右邊前面的橋接部分172。As shown in FIG. 6 , a sleeve 220 is coupled to the right front bridge portion 172 of the right lens barrel 110. FIG. 13 shows the sleeve 220 in more detail. The sleeve 220 is configured so that the bore 221 of the sleeve 220 is aligned with the aperture 175 in the right front bridge portion 172. One or more screws 230 pass through the holes 223 in the sleeve 220 and enter the threaded holes 176 in the right front bridge portion 172 to fix the sleeve 220 to the right front bridge portion 172. It should be understood that the sleeve 220 can be fixed to the right front bridge portion 172 by other means known in the art to which the present invention belongs (e.g., adhesive).
第7圖示出第5圖和第6圖中所示的組件的近似圖。具體而言，開口螺釘200之軸部分201穿過右邊前面的橋接部分172的孔175和孔221。墊圈240設置在開口螺釘200之軸部分201上和襯套220的面222上。一鎖緊螺帽250設置在墊圈240和軸部分201之上。具有內螺紋的鎖緊螺帽250被緊固在開口螺釘200之螺紋207上。當鎖緊螺帽250固定在開口螺釘200上時，左鏡筒120和右鏡筒110能夠圍繞開口螺釘200自由地樞轉以調節目鏡光學件130的眼距。Fig. 7 shows an approximate view of the assembly shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Specifically, the shaft portion 201 of the split screw 200 passes through the hole 175 and the hole 221 of the right front bridge portion 172. The washer 240 is disposed on the shaft portion 201 of the split screw 200 and on the surface 222 of the bushing 220. A locking nut 250 is disposed on the washer 240 and the shaft portion 201. The locking nut 250 having an internal thread is tightened on the thread 207 of the split screw 200. When the lock nut 250 is fixed on the open screw 200, the left lens barrel 120 and the right lens barrel 110 can freely pivot around the open screw 200 to adjust the eye distance of the eyepiece optical component 130.
第8A-8B圖示出裝置組裝的進一步步驟。縱向構件（例如：滑動螺釘260）可滑動地***樞轉構件（例如：開口螺釘200）的中心孔203內。滑動螺釘260的移動限制是透過其頭部262與界定在開口螺釘200的中心孔203內的肩部206的接觸來確認的（請參見本文中更詳細討論的第9-10圖）。碟280經由碟280上的外螺紋283和鎖定旋鈕290上的內螺紋293螺紋耦接至鎖定旋鈕290。第12圖和第14圖分別更詳細地示出碟280和鎖定旋鈕290的特徵。鎖定旋鈕290是具有額外特徵和外部紋理表面299的圓環，以幫助使用者調節鎖定機構。滑動螺釘260的螺紋端部264容納在碟280的螺紋孔282內。當滑動螺釘260耦接至碟280時，滑動螺釘260、碟280和鎖定旋鈕290能夠一起縱向滑動。錐形螺帽270設置在滑動螺釘260和開口螺釘200上，並為機構提供額外的穩定性。碟280包括具有第一突出面284和第二突出面285的碟突出部281（參見第12圖）。開口螺釘200包括第一構件208和第二構件209（參見第11圖）。第一構件208和第二構件209的尺寸和構造被製造為與第一突出面284和第二突出面285配合，使得第一構件208可在第一突出面284上滑動，且第二構件209可在第二突出面285上滑動。這種配置允許碟280、鎖定旋鈕290和滑動螺釘260相對於開口螺釘200縱向移動，但阻止碟280、鎖定旋鈕290和滑動螺釘260相對於開口螺釘200旋轉移動。Figures 8A-8B illustrate further steps in the assembly of the device. A longitudinal member (e.g., a sliding screw 260) is slidably inserted into the central hole 203 of a pivot member (e.g., an open screw 200). The movement limit of the sliding screw 260 is confirmed by the contact of its head 262 with a shoulder 206 defined in the central hole 203 of the open screw 200 (see Figures 9-10 discussed in more detail herein). The disc 280 is threadedly coupled to the locking knob 290 via an outer thread 283 on the disc 280 and an inner thread 293 on the locking knob 290. Figures 12 and 14 respectively show the features of the disc 280 and the locking knob 290 in more detail. The locking knob 290 is a ring with additional features and an outer textured surface 299 to help the user adjust the locking mechanism. The threaded end 264 of the sliding screw 260 is received in the threaded hole 282 of the dish 280. When the sliding screw 260 is coupled to the dish 280, the sliding screw 260, the dish 280 and the locking knob 290 can slide longitudinally together. The tapered nut 270 is disposed on the sliding screw 260 and the open screw 200 and provides additional stability to the mechanism. The dish 280 includes a dish protrusion 281 having a first protruding surface 284 and a second protruding surface 285 (see Figure 12). The open screw 200 includes a first member 208 and a second member 209 (see FIG. 11 ). The first member 208 and the second member 209 are sized and configured to cooperate with the first protruding surface 284 and the second protruding surface 285 so that the first member 208 can slide on the first protruding surface 284 and the second member 209 can slide on the second protruding surface 285. This configuration allows the disc 280, the locking knob 290 and the sliding screw 260 to move longitudinally relative to the open screw 200, but prevents the disc 280, the locking knob 290 and the sliding screw 260 from rotating relative to the open screw 200.
第9圖示出了處於一鎖定構形的雙筒望遠鏡100。當鎖定時，左邊前面的橋接部分170和右邊前面的橋接部分172相對於彼此不可移動，藉此鎖定左鏡筒120和右鏡筒110，且鎖定目鏡光學件130至一固定的眼距。在鎖定構形中，鎖定旋鈕290、碟280和滑動螺釘260被移動到最靠近目鏡的位置。鎖定旋鈕290包括一接合表面（例如：內齒輪齒295），其與襯套220上的一接合表面225（例如：外齒輪齒226） 配合（另參見第13-14圖）。 如上所述，襯套220經由右邊前面的橋接部分172耦接至右鏡筒110。鎖定旋鈕290經由碟突出部281與開口螺釘200的相互作用而耦接至左鏡筒120。因此，當襯套220的外齒輪齒226耦接至鎖定旋鈕290的內齒輪齒295時，左鏡筒120和右鏡筒110被鎖定。當鎖定旋鈕290處於鎖定位置時，滑動螺釘260的頭部262與開口螺釘200的中心孔203的肩部206間隔開。FIG. 9 shows the binoculars 100 in a locked configuration. When locked, the left front bridge portion 170 and the right front bridge portion 172 are immovable relative to each other, thereby locking the left barrel 120 and the right barrel 110, and locking the eyepiece optics 130 to a fixed eye distance. In the locked configuration, the locking knob 290, the plate 280 and the sliding screw 260 are moved to the position closest to the eyepiece. The locking knob 290 includes an engagement surface (e.g., inner gear teeth 295) that cooperates with an engagement surface 225 (e.g., outer gear teeth 226) on the bushing 220 (see also FIGS. 13-14). As described above, the bushing 220 is coupled to the right barrel 110 via the right front bridge portion 172. The locking knob 290 is coupled to the left barrel 120 via the interaction of the dish protrusion 281 and the open screw 200. Therefore, when the outer gear teeth 226 of the bushing 220 are coupled to the inner gear teeth 295 of the locking knob 290, the left barrel 120 and the right barrel 110 are locked. When the locking knob 290 is in the locked position, the head 262 of the sliding screw 260 is spaced apart from the shoulder 206 of the center hole 203 of the open screw 200.
鎖定旋鈕290與設置在襯套220上的O形環234相互作用，以減少鎖定旋鈕290意外移動。O形環234組裝在襯套的外部環形凹部224上（參見第13圖）。鎖定旋鈕290提供了與O形環234配合的兩個內部環形凹部，即第一環形凹部296和第二環形凹部298（參見第14圖）。當鎖定旋鈕290處於鎖定構形時，O形環234容納在第一環形凹部296中（參見第9圖），這提供鎖定旋鈕290意外相對運動的阻力，但是該阻力可以由使用者克服。一第一蓋板300和一第二蓋板302可接合至眼距鎖定裝置180以保護其內部元件。The locking knob 290 interacts with an O-ring 234 disposed on the bushing 220 to reduce accidental movement of the locking knob 290. The O-ring 234 is assembled on the outer annular recess 224 of the bushing (see FIG. 13). The locking knob 290 provides two inner annular recesses, namely a first annular recess 296 and a second annular recess 298 (see FIG. 14), which cooperate with the O-ring 234. When the locking knob 290 is in the locked configuration, the O-ring 234 is received in the first annular recess 296 (see FIG. 9), which provides resistance to accidental relative movement of the locking knob 290, but the resistance can be overcome by the user. A first cover plate 300 and a second cover plate 302 may be coupled to the eye relief locking device 180 to protect the internal components thereof.
第10圖示出了處於一解鎖構形的雙筒望遠鏡100。當解鎖時，左邊前面的橋接部分170和右邊前面的橋接部分172可以相對於彼此樞轉，從而允許左鏡筒120和右鏡筒110以及目鏡光學件130調節眼距。在解鎖構形中，鎖定旋鈕290、碟280和滑動螺釘260被移動到距目鏡最遠的位置。鎖定旋鈕290的內齒輪齒295與襯套220上的外齒輪齒226間隔開。當襯套220的外齒輪齒226與鎖定旋鈕290的內齒輪齒295間隔開時，左鏡筒120和右鏡筒110可以自由地樞轉。當鎖定旋鈕290處於解鎖構形時，O形環234自第一環形凹部296移除，並被容納在第二環形凹部298中（參見第10圖）。FIG. 10 shows binoculars 100 in an unlocked configuration. When unlocked, the left front bridge portion 170 and the right front bridge portion 172 can pivot relative to each other, thereby allowing the left and right barrels 120, 110 and the eyepiece optics 130 to adjust the eye distance. In the unlocked configuration, the locking knob 290, the plate 280 and the sliding screw 260 are moved to the position farthest from the eyepiece. The inner gear teeth 295 of the locking knob 290 are spaced apart from the outer gear teeth 226 on the bushing 220. When the outer gear teeth 226 of the bushing 220 are spaced apart from the inner gear teeth 295 of the locking knob 290, the left barrel 120 and the right barrel 110 can pivot freely. When the locking knob 290 is in the unlocked configuration, the O-ring 234 is removed from the first annular recess 296 and is received in the second annular recess 298 (see FIG. 10 ).
雙筒望遠鏡400的一實例性實施例在第15圖中示出。雙筒望遠鏡400與上述雙筒望遠鏡100實質上相同，但具有此處所述的差異。雙筒望遠鏡400包括一對能夠調節左鏡筒420和右鏡筒410之間的眼距距離D3的橋接元件 （未示出）（參見第2-3圖）。雙筒望遠鏡400包括一可調節構件，例如按鈕430。一第一接觸表面（例如：外花鍵狀特徵421）形成於右鏡筒410上，且一第二接觸表面（例如：外花鍵狀特徵421）形成於左鏡筒420上，當具有配合外花鍵432的按鈕430沿方向B完全壓入兩個雙筒望遠鏡鏡筒的花鍵（即，兩個外花鍵狀特徵421），其將右鏡筒410和左鏡筒420固定在一起。在一些實施例中，按鈕430被安裝到一殼體上，以允許按鈕430朝向和遠離配合外花鍵432移動。這會使得右鏡筒410和左鏡筒420鎖定在一起。第15圖示出處於鎖定位置的雙筒望遠鏡400。在一些實施例中，可提供諸如彈簧的偏壓構件以將按鈕430偏壓到與配合外花鍵432接合的位置。An exemplary embodiment of binoculars 400 is shown in FIG. 15. Binoculars 400 are substantially the same as binoculars 100 described above, but with the differences described herein. Binoculars 400 include a pair of bridge elements (not shown) that can adjust the eye distance D3 between left and right barrels 420, 410 (see FIGS. 2-3). Binoculars 400 include an adjustable member, such as button 430. A first contact surface (e.g., external spline feature 421) is formed on the right barrel 410, and a second contact surface (e.g., external spline feature 421) is formed on the left barrel 420, when the button 430 with the mating external spline 432 is fully pressed into the splines of the two binocular barrels (i.e., the two external spline features 421) along direction B, it fixes the right barrel 410 and the left barrel 420 together. In some embodiments, the button 430 is mounted to a housing to allow the button 430 to move toward and away from the mating external spline 432. This will lock the right barrel 410 and the left barrel 420 together. FIG. 15 shows the binoculars 400 in a locked position. In some embodiments, a biasing member such as a spring may be provided to bias the button 430 to a position in which it engages with the mating external spline 432.
雙筒望遠鏡500的一實例性實施例在第16圖中示出。雙筒望遠鏡500與上述雙筒望遠鏡100實質上相同，但具有此處所述的差異。雙筒望遠鏡500包括一對能夠調節左鏡筒520和右鏡筒510之間的眼距距離的橋接元件 （未示出）。雙筒望遠鏡500包括在右鏡筒510和左鏡筒520之間軸向（平行於縱軸L）平移的可調節構件，例如：楔形構件530。楔形構件包括具有第一尺寸的第一部分532和具有第二尺寸的第二部分534，其中第一尺寸大於第二尺寸。楔形構件530還包括一對接合表面536a和536b，其構造成可滑動地分別接合右鏡筒510和左鏡筒520上的一對接觸表面538a和538b。使用時，使用者可以將雙筒望遠鏡調節到期望的眼距（參見如第2-3圖），接著軸向滑動楔形構件530，直到接合表面536a和536b與右鏡筒510和左鏡筒520上的接觸表面538a和538b接合。當接合表面536a和536b與接觸表面538a和538b接合時，右鏡筒510和左鏡筒520在使用者向內旋轉鏡筒時會停止在期望的眼距。An exemplary embodiment of binoculars 500 is shown in FIG. 16. Binoculars 500 are substantially the same as binoculars 100 described above, but with the differences described herein. Binoculars 500 include a pair of bridge elements (not shown) capable of adjusting the interocular distance between left barrel 520 and right barrel 510. Binoculars 500 include an adjustable member, such as a wedge member 530, that translates axially (parallel to longitudinal axis L) between right barrel 510 and left barrel 520. The wedge member includes a first portion 532 having a first size and a second portion 534 having a second size, wherein the first size is greater than the second size. The wedge-shaped member 530 also includes a pair of engagement surfaces 536a and 536b, which are configured to slidably engage a pair of contact surfaces 538a and 538b on the right lens barrel 510 and the left lens barrel 520, respectively. In use, the user can adjust the binoculars to the desired eye distance (see, e.g., FIG. 2-3), and then axially slide the wedge-shaped member 530 until the engagement surfaces 536a and 536b engage with the contact surfaces 538a and 538b on the right lens barrel 510 and the left lens barrel 520. When the engagement surfaces 536a and 536b engage with the contact surfaces 538a and 538b, the right lens barrel 510 and the left lens barrel 520 will stop at the desired eye distance when the user rotates the lens barrels inward.
雙筒望遠鏡600的一實例性實施例在第17-19圖中示出。雙筒望遠鏡600與上述雙筒望遠鏡100實質上相同，但具有此處所述的差異。雙筒望遠鏡600包含一右鏡筒610和一左鏡筒620、一組目鏡光學件630、物鏡光學件640以及一調焦旋鈕690。為了調節目鏡光學件630之間的眼距以匹配使用者的眼距，雙筒望遠鏡600提供一組橋接部分660、662和橋接部分670、672，其允許使用者調節左鏡筒620與右鏡筒610之間距。根據所揭露之標的，雙筒望遠鏡600提供一眼距鎖定組件650。如第17圖所示，眼距鎖定組件650容納在由橋接部分660、620形成的孔680內。孔680的壁的一部分包括界定第一接觸表面的橋接部分660，且孔680的壁的一部分包括界定第二接觸表面的橋接部分662。眼距鎖定組件650包括放置在螺釘673上的第一碟671和第二碟677，其中螺釘673具有螺釘頭675。第一碟671包括螺紋孔，該螺紋孔旋過螺釘673之螺紋。可調節構件（例如：可撓性套管674）安裝在螺釘673上並位於第一碟671和第二碟677之間。如第19圖所示，當可撓性套管674處於第一位置時，距離D7被界定於第一碟671和第二碟677之間。當螺釘頭675旋轉時，第一碟671被保持住以防止在孔 680 內縱向移動。因此，第一碟671和第二碟677之間的距離D7（第19圖）減少至距離D6（第18圖）。由於第一碟671和第二碟677之間的距離減少，可撓性套管674被壓縮並膨脹至更寬的直徑並接合第一和第二接觸表面（例如：孔680的壁），包含橋接部分660、620，以固定右鏡筒610和左鏡筒620的相對位置。第18圖和第19圖示出了可以透過適當的工具來調節的六角形孔676。在一些實施例中，提供調節旋鈕（未示出）以允許使用者手動旋轉螺釘頭675。An exemplary embodiment of binoculars 600 is shown in FIGS. 17-19. Binoculars 600 are substantially the same as binoculars 100 described above, but with the differences described herein. Binoculars 600 include a right barrel 610 and a left barrel 620, a set of eyepiece optics 630, objective optics 640, and a focus knob 690. In order to adjust the eye distance between the eyepiece optics 630 to match the eye distance of the user, binoculars 600 provide a set of bridge portions 660, 662 and bridge portions 670, 672 that allow the user to adjust the distance between the left barrel 620 and the right barrel 610. According to the disclosed subject matter, binoculars 600 provide an eye-distance locking assembly 650. As shown in FIG. 17, the eye-distance locking assembly 650 is accommodated in a hole 680 formed by bridge portions 660, 620. A portion of the wall of the hole 680 includes the bridge portion 660 defining a first contact surface, and a portion of the wall of the hole 680 includes the bridge portion 662 defining a second contact surface. The eye-distance locking assembly 650 includes a first disk 671 and a second disk 677 placed on a screw 673, wherein the screw 673 has a screw head 675. The first disk 671 includes a threaded hole that is screwed through the thread of the screw 673. An adjustable member (e.g., flexible sleeve 674) is mounted on screw 673 and is located between first disc 671 and second disc 677. As shown in FIG. 19, when flexible sleeve 674 is in the first position, distance D7 is defined between first disc 671 and second disc 677. When screw head 675 is rotated, first disc 671 is held against longitudinal movement within hole 680. Therefore, distance D7 (FIG. 19) between first disc 671 and second disc 677 is reduced to distance D6 (FIG. 18). As the distance between the first disc 671 and the second disc 677 decreases, the flexible sleeve 674 is compressed and expands to a wider diameter and engages the first and second contact surfaces (e.g., the walls of the hole 680), including the bridge portions 660, 620, to fix the relative positions of the right barrel 610 and the left barrel 620. Figures 18 and 19 show a hexagonal hole 676 that can be adjusted by an appropriate tool. In some embodiments, an adjustment knob (not shown) is provided to allow the user to manually rotate the screw head 675.
雙筒望遠鏡700的一實例性實施例在第20-24圖中示出。雙筒望遠鏡700與上述雙筒望遠鏡100實質上相同，但具有此處所述之差異。雙筒望遠鏡700包含一右鏡筒710和左鏡筒720、一組目鏡光學件730、物鏡光學件740以及一調焦旋鈕790。為了調節目鏡光學件730之間的眼距以匹配使用者的眼距，雙筒望遠鏡700提供一組橋接部分760、762和橋接部分770、772，其允許使用者調節左鏡筒720與右鏡筒710之間距。根據所揭露之標的，雙筒望遠鏡700提供一眼距鎖定組件750。如第21-22圖所示，眼距鎖定組件750包含柄776、主體773、控制套管780和桿778。當桿778旋轉時（參見第21圖之方向R），其迫使主體773抵靠橋接部分760、762的第一和第二接觸表面，以將眼距保持在適當位置。如第22圖所示，桿778耦接至控制套管780。控制套管780組裝在柄776周圍。桿778包含放置在柄776的螺旋凸輪輪廓782內的端部779。如第23圖所示，柄776的螺旋凸輪輪廓782圍繞著柄螺旋延伸。桿778被限制為在主體773的通道775內沿角方向R移動（參見第21圖）。當桿778成角度地旋轉（方向R）時，螺旋凸輪輪廓782軸向地（平行於縱軸L）承載桿。由於通道775限制主體773相對於桿778軸向移動，因此主體773和桿778一起軸向移動。當主體773朝向橋接部分760、762的第一和第二接觸表面軸向移動時，表面774接合橋接部分760、762以將眼距保持在適當位置（第24圖）。柄776包含一螺紋端784，用於將柄776附接到雙筒望遠鏡700。An exemplary embodiment of binoculars 700 is shown in FIGS. 20-24. Binoculars 700 are substantially the same as binoculars 100 described above, but with the differences described herein. Binoculars 700 include a right barrel 710 and a left barrel 720, a set of eyepiece optics 730, objective optics 740, and a focus knob 790. In order to adjust the eye distance between the eyepiece optics 730 to match the eye distance of the user, binoculars 700 provide a set of bridge portions 760, 762 and bridge portions 770, 772 that allow the user to adjust the distance between the left barrel 720 and the right barrel 710. According to the disclosed subject matter, binoculars 700 provide an eye distance lock assembly 750. As shown in FIGS. 21-22, eye distance lock assembly 750 includes a handle 776, a body 773, a control sleeve 780, and a rod 778. When the rod 778 is rotated (see direction R of FIG. 21), it forces the body 773 against the first and second contact surfaces of the bridge portions 760, 762 to maintain the eye distance in a proper position. As shown in FIG. 22, the rod 778 is coupled to the control sleeve 780. The control sleeve 780 is assembled around the handle 776. The rod 778 includes an end 779 placed in a spiral cam profile 782 of the handle 776. As shown in FIG. 23, the spiral cam profile 782 of the handle 776 extends spirally around the handle. The rod 778 is constrained to move in an angular direction R within the channel 775 of the body 773 (see FIG. 21 ). As the rod 778 is angularly rotated (direction R), the spiral cam profile 782 carries the rod axially (parallel to the longitudinal axis L). Since the channel 775 constrains the body 773 from axial movement relative to the rod 778, the body 773 and the rod 778 move axially together. As the body 773 moves axially toward the first and second contact surfaces of the bridge portions 760, 762, the surface 774 engages the bridge portions 760, 762 to maintain the eye distance in the proper position ( FIG. 24 ). The handle 776 includes a threaded end 784 for attaching the handle 776 to the binoculars 700.

Binoculars 800 are substantially the same as binoculars 100 described above, but with the differences described herein. Binoculars 800 include a right barrel 810 and a left barrel 820, a set of eyepiece optics 830, objective optics 840, and a focus knob 890. In order to adjust the eye distance between the eyepiece optics 830 to match the eye distance of the user, binoculars 800 provide a set of bridge portions 860, 862 and bridge portions 870, 872 that allow the user to adjust the distance between the left barrel 820 and the right barrel 810. According to the disclosed subject matter, binoculars 800 provide an eye distance locking assembly 850. As shown in FIGS. 26-27, eye distance locking assembly 850 includes an adjustable member, such as a rod 851, a pivot pin 852, and a cam profile 853. Rod 851 can pivot about pivot pin 852 in direction S (see FIGS. 26-27). When rod 851 is in a first position (see FIG. 27), cam profile 853 is spaced apart from the first and second contact surfaces of bridge portions 860, 862, allowing right lens barrel 810 and left lens barrel 820 to freely pivot to allow adjustment of eye distance. When the rod 851 is rotated about the pivot pin 852 to the second position ( FIG. 26 ), the cam profile 853 is arranged against the contact surfaces of the two bridge portions 860 , 862 , thereby maintaining the eye distance at an appropriate position.

FIG. 29 shows a locked configuration in which the inner cone 976 of the bushing 974 is frictionally engaged with the outer cone 982 of the locking knob 980, thereby locking the right barrel 910 and the left barrel 920. FIG. 30 shows an unlocked configuration in which the inner cone 976 of the bushing 974 is spaced apart from the outer cone 982 of the locking knob 980, thereby allowing free movement between the right barrel 910 and the left barrel 920.
雙筒望遠鏡1000的一實例性實施例在第31-40圖中示出。雙筒望遠鏡1000與上述雙筒望遠鏡100實質上相同，但具有此處所述之差異。雙筒望遠鏡1000包含一右鏡筒1110和左鏡筒1120、一組目鏡光學件1130、物鏡光學件1140以及一調焦旋鈕1190。縱軸L自目鏡端E延伸至物鏡端O。雙筒望遠鏡1100提供一組可樞轉的橋接部分1160、1162和可樞轉的橋接部分1170、1172，其允許使用者調節左鏡筒1120與右鏡筒1110之間距。右鏡筒1110界定自第一目鏡光學件1130延伸至第一物鏡光學件1140之一第一縱軸。左鏡筒1120界定實質上平行於第一縱軸之一第二縱軸，該第二縱軸自第二目鏡光學件1130延伸至第二物鏡光學件1140。橋接部分1160、1162和橋接部分1170、1172圍繞實質上平行於該第一縱軸和該第二縱軸的一第三縱軸成角度地樞轉，且能夠調節該第一目鏡光學件和該第二目鏡光學件之間的一眼距。An exemplary embodiment of binoculars 1000 is shown in FIGS. 31-40. Binoculars 1000 are substantially the same as binoculars 100 described above, but with the differences described herein. Binoculars 1000 include a right barrel 1110 and a left barrel 1120, a set of eyepiece optics 1130, objective optics 1140, and a focus knob 1190. A longitudinal axis L extends from the eyepiece end E to the objective end O. Binoculars 1100 provide a set of pivotable bridge portions 1160, 1162 and pivotable bridge portions 1170, 1172 that allow a user to adjust the distance between left and right barrels 1120, 1110. Right barrel 1110 defines a first longitudinal axis extending from first eyepiece optics 1130 to first objective optics 1140. Left barrel 1120 defines a second longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis, extending from second eyepiece optics 1130 to second objective optics 1140. The bridge portions 1160, 1162 and the bridge portions 1170, 1172 are angularly pivoted about a third longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis and are capable of adjusting an eye distance between the first eyepiece optical component and the second eyepiece optical component.
根據所揭露之標的，雙筒望遠鏡1000提供一眼距鎖定組件。眼距鎖定組件將右鏡筒1110和左鏡筒1120的相對位置維持在期望的眼距。此外，當有將雙筒望遠鏡1100調節至新眼距的需求時，鎖定組件允許右鏡筒1110和左鏡筒1120相對於彼此樞轉至新眼距。According to the disclosed subject matter, binoculars 1000 provide an eye distance locking assembly. The eye distance locking assembly maintains the relative position of right lens barrel 1110 and left lens barrel 1120 at a desired eye distance. In addition, when there is a need to adjust binoculars 1100 to a new eye distance, the locking assembly allows right lens barrel 1110 and left lens barrel 1120 to pivot relative to each other to the new eye distance.
第32-34圖示出雙筒望遠鏡1000的元件，其部分分離。如第32圖所示，一樞轉構件（例如：軸構件1200）耦接至左鏡筒1120之左邊前面的橋接部分1170。軸構件1200包括一主要的軸部分1201和一凸緣1202，主要的軸部分1201具有延伸穿過其中的一中心孔1203。軸部分1201包括粗糙外表面1205和螺紋端部1207。在一些實施例中，粗糙外表面1205是一系列凸起的脊、表面細節或刻痕或施加的砂質材料。軸部分1201延伸穿過左邊前面的橋接部分1170中的孔（aperture）1173。凸緣1202接觸左邊前面的橋接部分1170且相對於左邊前面的橋接部分1170穩定軸構件1200。一定位銷1210穿過軸構件1200之凸緣1202中的孔1204，並穿過左邊前面的橋接部分1170中的孔（aperture）1174，以防止軸構件1200在左邊前面的橋接部分1170的孔1173內旋轉。Figures 32-34 show the elements of binoculars 1000, which are partially separated. As shown in Figure 32, a pivot member (e.g., shaft member 1200) is coupled to the left front bridge portion 1170 of the left barrel 1120. The shaft member 1200 includes a main shaft portion 1201 and a flange 1202, and the main shaft portion 1201 has a central hole 1203 extending therethrough. The shaft portion 1201 includes a rough outer surface 1205 and a threaded end 1207. In some embodiments, the rough outer surface 1205 is a series of raised ridges, surface details or notches, or applied sandy material. The shaft portion 1201 extends through an aperture 1173 in the left front bridge portion 1170. The flange 1202 contacts the left front bridge portion 1170 and stabilizes the shaft member 1200 relative to the left front bridge portion 1170. A locating pin 1210 passes through the hole 1204 in the flange 1202 of the shaft member 1200 and through the aperture 1174 in the left front bridge portion 1170 to prevent the shaft member 1200 from rotating within the aperture 1173 of the left front bridge portion 1170.
如第33圖所示，一襯套1220耦接至右鏡筒1110的右邊前面的橋接部分1172。第36-37圖更詳細地示出襯套1220。襯套1220被配置使得襯套1220的孔1221與右邊前面的橋接部分1172中的孔（aperture）1175對準。一個或多個螺釘1230穿過襯套1220中的孔洞1223並進入右邊前面的橋接部分1172中的螺紋孔洞1176以將襯套1220固定至右邊前面的橋接部分1172 。應當理解，襯套1220可透過本發明所屬技術領域已知的其他方式（例如：黏著劑）固定至右邊前面的橋接部分1172。As shown in FIG. 33 , a sleeve 1220 is coupled to the right front bridge portion 1172 of the right barrel 1110. FIGS. 36-37 show the sleeve 1220 in more detail. The sleeve 1220 is configured so that the hole 1221 of the sleeve 1220 is aligned with the aperture 1175 in the right front bridge portion 1172. One or more screws 1230 pass through the hole 1223 in the sleeve 1220 and enter the threaded hole 1176 in the right front bridge portion 1172 to secure the sleeve 1220 to the right front bridge portion 1172. It should be understood that the sleeve 1220 can be fixed to the right front bridge portion 1172 by other means known in the art to which the present invention belongs (for example, adhesive).
第34圖示出第32-33圖中所示元件的組合。具體而言，軸構件1200之軸部分1201穿過右邊前面的橋接部分1172的孔1175和襯套1220的孔1221。螺帽1270透過螺紋固定至軸構件1200之螺紋端部1207。左鏡筒1120和右鏡筒1110可以圍繞軸構件1200自由地樞轉以調節目鏡光學件1130的眼距。FIG. 34 shows the combination of the elements shown in FIGS. 32-33. Specifically, the shaft portion 1201 of the shaft member 1200 passes through the hole 1175 of the right front bridge portion 1172 and the hole 1221 of the bushing 1220. The nut 1270 is fixed to the threaded end 1207 of the shaft member 1200 by threading. The left lens barrel 1120 and the right lens barrel 1110 can freely pivot around the shaft member 1200 to adjust the eye distance of the eyepiece optical component 1130.
繼續參考第34圖，縱向構件（例如：滑動螺釘1260）可滑動地***樞轉構件（例如：軸構件1200）的中心孔1203內。滑動螺釘1260的縱向移動限制是透過其頭部1262與界定在軸構件1200的中心孔1203內的肩部（未示出）的接觸來確認的（請亦參見第9-10圖，其更詳細地描繪類似構形的滑動螺釘260和開口螺釘200）。偏壓構件（例如：螺旋彈簧1280）圍繞螺帽1270設置，且螺帽1270之一端1281與襯套1220接觸。帽蓋1290螺紋耦接至滑動螺釘1260的互補螺紋端部1264。當滑動螺釘1260耦接至帽蓋1290時，滑動螺釘1260可以和帽蓋1290一起縱向滑動。螺旋彈簧1280包含與帽蓋1290的內表面1308接觸的第二端1282，從而將帽蓋1290偏壓遠離襯套1220。Continuing with reference to FIG. 34, a longitudinal member (e.g., a sliding screw 1260) is slidably inserted into a central hole 1203 of a pivot member (e.g., a shaft member 1200). The longitudinal movement limitation of the sliding screw 1260 is confirmed by the contact of its head 1262 with a shoulder (not shown) defined in the central hole 1203 of the shaft member 1200 (see also FIGS. 9-10, which more specifically depict similarly configured sliding screws 260 and split screws 200). A biasing member (e.g., a coil spring 1280) is disposed around a nut 1270, and one end 1281 of the nut 1270 contacts the bushing 1220. The cap 1290 is threadedly coupled to the complementary threaded end 1264 of the slide screw 1260. When the slide screw 1260 is coupled to the cap 1290, the slide screw 1260 can slide longitudinally with the cap 1290. The coil spring 1280 includes a second end 1282 that contacts the inner surface 1308 of the cap 1290, thereby biasing the cap 1290 away from the bushing 1220.
第35-37圖示出雙筒望遠鏡1000的眼距鎖定機構的進一步細節。第35圖示出軸構件1200、襯套1220以及帽蓋1290。為了說明的目的，未示出橋接部分1170和1172。在第36圖中，為了說明的目的，帽蓋1290被移除。在一些實施例中，襯套1220包括兩個襯套元件1221a、1221b。襯墊1225可在襯套1220中的徑向孔1227（如第37圖中的虛線所示）內徑向滑動。襯套元件1221a、1221b和襯墊1225作為組件經由螺釘1230一起固定至橋接部分1172，如第33圖所示。如第35圖所示，螺帽1270固定至軸部分1201的螺紋端部1207。FIGS. 35-37 show further details of the eye relief locking mechanism of the binoculars 1000. FIG. 35 shows the shaft member 1200, the sleeve 1220, and the cap 1290. For the purpose of illustration, the bridge portions 1170 and 1172 are not shown. In FIG. 36, the cap 1290 is removed for the purpose of illustration. In some embodiments, the sleeve 1220 includes two sleeve elements 1221a, 1221b. The pad 1225 can slide radially within a radial hole 1227 (shown in phantom in FIG. 37) in the sleeve 1220. Bushing elements 1221a, 1221b and gasket 1225 are fixed together as an assembly to bridge portion 1172 via screws 1230, as shown in FIG. 33. As shown in FIG. 35, nut 1270 is fixed to threaded end 1207 of shaft portion 1201.
第37圖示出襯套1220和襯墊1225之物鏡端視圖，其中為了說明的目的，移除了螺帽1270。襯墊1225可在襯套1220內徑向滑動（如箭頭RO所示的徑向向外方向和如箭頭RI所示的徑向向內方向）。當襯墊1225如箭頭RI所示的徑向向內推進時，襯墊1225摩擦地接合軸構件1200以防止橋接部分1170相對於橋接部分1172旋轉，藉此將雙筒望遠鏡1000鎖定於眼距。如第38圖所示，每個襯墊1225包含圓柱形的桿部分1226和具有弧形的接合表面1229的接合部分1228。桿部分1226可在襯套1220的徑向孔1227內滑動。接合表面1229具有弧形曲率以符合軸部分1201的外表面1205。在一些實施例中，包括桿部分1226和接合部分1228的襯墊1225由金屬（例如：鋼）製成。弧形的接合表面1229塗有較軟的材料（例如：橡膠或聚合物塗層），以便抓握軸構件1200的軸部分1201的外表面1205。FIG. 37 shows an end view of the sleeve 1220 and the pad 1225, with the nut 1270 removed for illustration purposes. The pad 1225 can slide radially (in a radially outward direction as indicated by arrow RO and in a radially inward direction as indicated by arrow RI) within the sleeve 1220. When the pad 1225 is pushed radially inward as indicated by arrow RI, the pad 1225 frictionally engages the shaft member 1200 to prevent the bridge portion 1170 from rotating relative to the bridge portion 1172, thereby locking the binoculars 1000 at eye relief. As shown in FIG. 38 , each pad 1225 includes a cylindrical rod portion 1226 and an engagement portion 1228 having an arcuate engagement surface 1229. The rod portion 1226 can slide in the radial hole 1227 of the bushing 1220. The engagement surface 1229 has an arcuate curvature to conform to the outer surface 1205 of the shaft portion 1201. In some embodiments, the pad 1225 including the rod portion 1226 and the engagement portion 1228 is made of metal (e.g., steel). The arcuate engagement surface 1229 is coated with a softer material (e.g., rubber or polymer coating) to grip the outer surface 1205 of the shaft portion 1201 of the shaft member 1200.
帽蓋1290在第39-40圖中更詳細地示出。帽蓋1290固定至滑動螺釘1260的螺紋端部1264。帽蓋1290包括外部紋理或滾花1302以改善使用者對帽蓋1290的抓握。突出部1310從帽蓋1290的內表面1308縱向向外延伸，且包括接納滑動螺釘1260的螺紋端部1264的螺紋孔（threaded bore）。螺旋彈簧1280的第二端1282接合帽蓋1290的內表面1308，且將帽蓋1290偏壓遠離襯套1220。帽蓋1290的外表面1304包括多個凹部1312a、1312b、1312c、1312d，用於容納襯墊1225的桿部分1226。The cap 1290 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 39-40 . The cap 1290 is secured to the threaded end 1264 of the slide screw 1260 . The cap 1290 includes an exterior texture or knurling 1302 to improve a user's grip on the cap 1290 . A projection 1310 extends longitudinally outward from an interior surface 1308 of the cap 1290 and includes a threaded bore that receives the threaded end 1264 of the slide screw 1260 . The second end 1282 of the coil spring 1280 engages the interior surface 1308 of the cap 1290 and biases the cap 1290 away from the bushing 1220 . The outer surface 1304 of the cap 1290 includes a plurality of recesses 1312a, 1312b, 1312c, 1312d for accommodating the stem portion 1226 of the gasket 1225.
每個凹部1312a、1312b、1312c、1312d延伸到限制表面1314a、1314b、1314c、1314d 中，這限制了帽蓋1290朝向襯套1220的縱向移動。凹部1312a、1312b、1312c、1312d延伸到有角度的傾斜凸輪表面1316a、1316b、1316c、1316d。在傾斜凸輪表面1316a、1316b、1316c、1316d的角度範圍的末端處是平坦部分1318a、1318b、1318c、1318d。肩部1320a、1320b、1320c、1320d設置為鄰***坦部分1318a、1318b、1318c、1318d。第39圖示出對應於凹部1312a的元件1314a、1316a、1318a和1320a。應當理解，對應於凹部1312b、1312c和1312d的元件是相同的，儘管在第39圖中未示出。Each recess 1312a, 1312b, 1312c, 1312d extends into a limiting surface 1314a, 1314b, 1314c, 1314d, which limits longitudinal movement of the cap 1290 toward the sleeve 1220. The recesses 1312a, 1312b, 1312c, 1312d extend to angled inclined cam surfaces 1316a, 1316b, 1316c, 1316d. At the end of the angle range of the inclined cam surfaces 1316a, 1316b, 1316c, 1316d are flat portions 1318a, 1318b, 1318c, 1318d. Shoulders 1320a, 1320b, 1320c, 1320d are disposed adjacent to flat portions 1318a, 1318b, 1318c, 1318d. FIG. 39 shows elements 1314a, 1316a, 1318a, and 1320a corresponding to recess 1312a. It should be understood that the elements corresponding to recesses 1312b, 1312c, and 1312d are identical, although not shown in FIG. 39.
為了應用眼距鎖定機構來鎖定雙筒望遠鏡1000，帽蓋1290沿著目鏡端E方向移動並對抗螺旋彈簧1280的偏壓而接近襯套1220。在一些實施例中，帽蓋1290由金屬（例如：鋼）製成。當帽蓋1290朝向襯套1220移動時，每個襯墊1225的桿部分1226被容納到帽蓋1290的相應凹部1312a、1312b、1312c、1312d中，直到襯墊1225接合限制表面1314a、1314b、1314d。此時，使用者旋轉帽蓋1290，使得每個桿部分1226被對應的傾斜凸輪表面1316a、1316b、1316c、1316d徑向向內（第40圖的箭頭RI）推動。當進一步旋轉時，每個桿部分1226被容納在相應的平坦部分1318a、1318b、1318c、1318d中。在這個構形中，襯墊1225的弧形的接合表面1229與軸部分1201的外表面1205牢固地摩擦接合，使得襯墊1225相對於軸構件1200不動，從而將雙筒望遠鏡1000設置在鎖定構形。當鎖定時，左邊前面的橋接部分1170和右邊前面的橋接部分1172相對於彼此不可移動，從而將左鏡筒1120和右鏡筒1110以及目鏡光學件1130鎖定到固定眼距。To lock the binoculars 1000 using the eye relief locking mechanism, the cap 1290 moves in the direction of the eyepiece end E and approaches the sleeve 1220 against the bias of the coil spring 1280. In some embodiments, the cap 1290 is made of metal (e.g., steel). When the cap 1290 moves toward the sleeve 1220, the rod portion 1226 of each pad 1225 is received in the corresponding recess 1312a, 1312b, 1312c, 1312d of the cap 1290 until the pad 1225 engages the limiting surface 1314a, 1314b, 1314d. At this point, the user rotates the cap 1290 so that each rod portion 1226 is pushed radially inward (arrow RI in FIG. 40 ) by the corresponding inclined cam surface 1316a, 1316b, 1316c, 1316d. Upon further rotation, each rod portion 1226 is received in the corresponding flat portion 1318a, 1318b, 1318c, 1318d. In this configuration, the arcuate engagement surface 1229 of the pad 1225 is firmly frictionally engaged with the outer surface 1205 of the shaft portion 1201, so that the pad 1225 is immobile relative to the shaft member 1200, thereby placing the binoculars 1000 in a locked configuration. When locked, the left front bridge portion 1170 and the right front bridge portion 1172 are immovable relative to each other, thereby locking the left barrel 1120 and the right barrel 1110 and the eyepiece optics 1130 to a fixed eye distance.
在解鎖構形中，左邊前面的橋接部分1170和右邊前面的橋接部分1172可相對於彼此樞轉，藉此允許左鏡筒1120和右鏡筒1110以及目鏡光學件1130調節眼距。為了解鎖雙筒望遠鏡1000，基本上將本文所述的鎖定過程反過來。帽蓋1290沿相反方向旋轉，使得襯墊1225的桿部分1226從相應的平坦部分1318a、1318b、1318c、1318d移動到相應的傾斜凸輪表面1316a、1316b、1316c、1316d。於是，桿部分1226徑向向外移動（第40圖的箭頭RO），藉此使弧形的接合表面1229從與軸部分1201的外表面1205的接合中解除接觸。當帽蓋1290旋轉時，額外的、可選的力被施加到襯墊1225以將它們徑向向外移動（如箭頭RO所示）。 在一些實施例中，螺旋彈簧圍繞桿部分1226設置，以便在帽蓋1290旋轉時徑向向外偏壓襯墊1225。在一些實施例中，一個或多個磁性吸引器被施加到帽蓋1290或／及襯墊1225，以便在帽蓋1290旋轉時徑向向外移動襯墊1225。在一些實施例中，凹部1312a、1312b、1312c、1312d與傾斜凸輪表面1316a、1316b、1316c、1316d之間機械連接，以便在帽蓋1290旋轉時徑向向外移動襯墊1225，例如，透過在帽蓋內的桿部分1226上提供增大的直徑。In the unlocked configuration, the left front bridge portion 1170 and the right front bridge portion 1172 can pivot relative to each other, thereby allowing the left and right barrels 1120, 1110 and the eyepiece optics 1130 to adjust the eye relief. To unlock the binoculars 1000, the locking process described herein is essentially reversed. The cap 1290 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the rod portion 1226 of the pad 1225 to move from the corresponding flat portion 1318a, 1318b, 1318c, 1318d to the corresponding inclined cam surface 1316a, 1316b, 1316c, 1316d. As a result, the rod portion 1226 moves radially outward (arrow RO in FIG. 40 ), thereby releasing the arcuate engagement surface 1229 from engagement with the outer surface 1205 of the shaft portion 1201. As the cap 1290 rotates, an additional, optional force is applied to the pads 1225 to move them radially outward (as indicated by arrow RO). In some embodiments, a coil spring is disposed around the rod portion 1226 to bias the pads 1225 radially outward as the cap 1290 rotates. In some embodiments, one or more magnetic attractors are applied to the cap 1290 and/or the pad 1225 to move the pad 1225 radially outward when the cap 1290 is rotated. In some embodiments, a mechanical connection is provided between the recesses 1312a, 1312b, 1312c, 1312d and the inclined cam surfaces 1316a, 1316b, 1316c, 1316d to move the pad 1225 radially outward when the cap 1290 is rotated, for example, by providing an increased diameter on the rod portion 1226 within the cap.
