RELOCATABLE TELESCOPE HAVING PROTECTIVE COVER Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G02B23/16 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: telescope has a supporting and turning arrangement with a base and an optical unit with a blind, placed on a conveyor platform with a frame, a protective cover and wheel assemblies. The frame is detachably connected to the wheel assemblies and allows to fit the frame and the base in a fixed position on embedded parts of a prepared platform when the wheel assemblies are disconnected. The cover has vertically detachable protective flaps which are movably connected to the frame by mechanisms for opening and closing the flaps. The base and the frame are detachable and the mechanisms for opening and closing the protective flaps are mounted on the frame in longitudinal directions outside the inner volume of the cover with possibility of turning the protective flaps outside by -180 degrees. The base and the frame can be mounted on the embedded parts which are embedded into the base support and the frame support, respectively, and the base support and the frame support are constructed with gaps and loose foundations.

EFFECT: high penetrating capacity, improved accuracy characteristics and avoiding blockage of the field of view during operation in a near-horizontal region.
