AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Military and commercial imaging devices, particularly those mounted on headgear, cause physiological neck strain, are cumbersome to adjust and remove, and often require multiple devices for different sensing modes, limiting user flexibility and increasing risk during combat or physical activity.

Method used

A headgear mount system with a mechanical assembly that includes mount and tilt/flip assemblies, allowing for easy stowing and adjustment of imaging devices, separate stowing of electro-optical assemblies, and customizable sensing modes through a single mount point, reducing neck strain and enhancing user adjustability.

Benefits of technology

The system provides easy stowing and adjustment of imaging devices, reduces neck strain, and allows quick switching between sensing modes, improving user convenience and safety during combat or physical activity.

Abstract

A headgear mount system includes a mechanical assembly comprising at least one mount assembly, at least one tilt / flip assembly, and at least one interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment assembly. The mount assembly connects the mechanical assembly to the headgear, while the tilt / flip assembly rotatably connects the IPD adjustment assembly to the mount assembly. The tilt / flip assembly includes at least one tilt / flip pin rotatably interconnecting the mount assembly and the IPD adjustment assembly. The tilt / flip pin allows rotation of the IPD adjustment assembly relative to the mount assembly to permit the electro-optical assembly mounted to the IPD adjustment assembly to be stowed out of the way when not in use.
