"A huge 2" widefield eyepiece with a 2" diagonal mirror",
"Two heavy 1.25" widefield eyepieces with a binoviewer and a
diagonal mirror"...etc. In such cases as attaching rather heavy accessories
to SCT with a 2" sleeve adapter, anytime you have to take care for
those accessories not to be rotated or slipped down suddenly. Also, especially
in case of public observations where a lot of people see through your scope,
anytime there is a certain risk some inexperienced visitors loose the eyepiece
stopper screw by accident and ...
Kasai SAFETY-LOCK is a special SCT/2" adapter to solve those problems all at once,
as with the advanced features as "very strong fastening power"
and "little risk to be loosened by accident", yet "easy
to change the eyepieces quickly". Two metal cylinders (30mm length
x 3mm dia.) are mounted on the inside wall of the 2" sleeve, and,
an only 30-degree light twist of the top ring makes those cylinders to
come out and press the 2" barrel rigidly. The fixing power is strong
enough to load more than 10kg with ease, without slipping nor rotating
at all. A durable stainless steel thumbscrew comes as a standard accessory,
working as a finger lever for rotating the top ring. It can put on any
of 3 positions (120-degree intervals) of the top ring to be located at
the most convenient angle for the user. This screw also works as a stopper
of the top ring's rotation. Just turn the screw crockwise after fixing
the top ring, then the adapter is "double-locked" with no risks
of loosening by accident. Precision CNC-machined thick aluminum-alloy housing
with beautiful glossy black anodizing finish. Ideal for every SCT or Mak-Cass
user longing for a super strong 2" adapter with a full sense of security. |
