Claim:
A universal multifunctional cover for a quick-acquisition optical sight provided with a sensor and an optical lens, the universal multifunctional cover comprising: a box-like casing with a closed upper wall, side walls, a rear wall closed with a transparent medium, an open front wall, and an open bottom; and a multifunctional switchable element that is pivotally connected to said side walls and comprises a frame and that can be switched between an inoperative position, in which said frame rests on the closed upper wall of the casing, and an operative position, in which the frame is installed in front of the open front wall, wherein said frame supports an optical filter and a foresight so that in said operative position of the switchable element the optical filter is installed in front of said optical lens; wherein the frame is pivotally connected to the side walls by means of stretchable resilient elements, one end of each said stretchable resilient element being pivotally connected to a respective side wall and an opposite end of each said stretchable resilient element pivotally supporting the frame such that it is possible to rotate the frame relative to the stretchable resilient elements and thus relative to said open front wall; and wherein the frame is provided with a foresight that extends radially outward from the frame and can be turned into a first position in which the foresight extends upward for use as a foresight or a second position in which the foresight extends downward and closes said sensor.
