Abstract
An eyecup assembly for a submarine periscope blinder assembly includes an annularly-shaped ring having a multiplicity of holes, which are unthreaded, extending therethrough and adapted to receive screws for securing the eyecup assembly to a like multiplicity of holes which are threaded and arranged in a circular pattern around an eyepiece opening in the blinder assembly, the ring defining a central viewing opening. An eyecup lateral shell circumscribes the eyecup chamber and is fixed to the ring and configured to conform generally to an eye area of a viewer's head, and to be interchangeably mounted to the threaded holes to receive either the viewer's left or right eyes by selectively indexing the holes in the ring 180° apart relative to the threaded blinder assembly holes.
