Abstract

A protective lens cover assembly is provided. A protective lens cover assembly comprises a body, a first lens cover and a second lens cover. The first and second lens covers are connected to the body. The first lens cover has a first set of securing structures and a second set of securing structures. The second lens cover also has a first set of securing structures and a second set of securing structures. The first set of securing structures of one of the first lens cover and second lens cover is configured to engage the second set of securing structures of the other of the first lens cover and second lens cover.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A protective lens cover assembly comprising:
a body;
a first lens cover having a first set of securing structures and a second set of securing structures, wherein the first lens cover comprises a first sleeve and a second sleeve, the first and second sleeve separated by a wall, and wherein the first set of securing structures is on the first sleeve and the second set of securing structures is on the second sleeve; and
a second lens cover having a first set of securing structures and a second set of securing structures;
wherein the first lens cover and second lens cover are connected to the body,
wherein the first set of securing structures of one of the first lens cover and second lens cover is configured to engage the second set of securing structures of the other of the first lens cover and second lens cover.

2. The protective lens cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sets of securing structures of the first lens cover are identical or substantially identical.

3. The protective lens cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sets of securing structures each comprise a groove along the circumference of the inside of the sleeve and two circumferential projections, wherein a first of the circumferential projections is on a first side of the groove and a second of the circumferential projections is on a second side of the groove.

4. The protective lens cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second lens cover comprises a first sleeve and a wall, wherein the first set of securing structures is on the first sleeve and the second set of securing structures is on the wall.

5. The protective lens cover assembly of claim 4 , wherein the first set of securing structures comprises a groove along the circumference of the inside of the sleeve and two circumferential projections, wherein a first of the circumferential projections is on a first side of the groove and a second of the circumferential projections is on a second side of the groove.

6. The protective lens cover assembly of claim 4 , wherein the second set of securing structures comprises a lip.

7. A sight comprising:
a sight body with an objective end having a lens and an eyepiece end having a lens; and
a protective lens cover assembly connected to the sight body, the assembly comprising
a body;
a first lens cover having a first set of securing structures and a second set of securing structures, wherein the first lens cover comprises a first sleeve and a second sleeve, the first and second sleeve separated by a wall, and wherein the first set of securing structures is on the first sleeve and the second set of securing structures is on the second sleeve; and
a second lens cover having a first set of securing structures and a second set of securing structures;

wherein the first lens cover and second lens cover are connected to the body,
wherein the first set of securing structures of the first lens cover engages the objective end of the sight body, the first set of securing structures of the second lens cover engages the eyepiece end of the side body, the second set of securing structures of at least one of the first lens cover and second lens cover engages the sight body, and the second set of securing structures of the other of the first lens cover and second lens cover engages first securing structures of the at least one of the first lens cover and second lens cover.

8. The sight of claim 7 , wherein the second set of securing structures of the first lens cover engages the sight body and the second set of securing structures of the second lens cover engages the first set of securing structures of the first lens cover.

9. The sight of claim 7 , wherein the sight body further includes a battery compartment.

10. The sight of claim 9 , wherein the second set of securing structure of the at least one of the first lens cover and the second lens cover engages the battery compartment.

11. The sight of claim 10 , wherein the body of the protective lens cover assembly is connected to the battery compartment.

12. The sight of claim 11 , wherein the first and second sets of securing structures of the first lens cover are identical.

13. The sight of claim 7 , wherein the sight is connected to a firearm.
