Abstract:
1. A binocular infrared imaging system for close in focusing comprising: a pair of binoculars having optical channels including an objective lens that defines an optical center line for the channel; a pivotable assembly for skewing the center lines for the optical axes to intersect at a near in point in space; and, a focusing assembly for simultaneously focusing on said near in point as said channels are skewed to said near in point, wherein said pivotable assembly includes a pair of skewing gears each mechanically connected to a separate pivotable objective lens support and a focusing gear between said skewing gears operably engaging said skewing gears with the rotation thereof, thus to skew the optical center lines upon rotation of said focusing gear.
