Adjustable Camera Mount on Head Frame Chin Portion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera helmets require chin straps for attachment, which are difficult to connect and uncomfortable, and they do not allow the camera to be positioned for the wearer to view the screen or know the camera's direction, leading to poor recordings.
Innovation Solution
A head frame for cameras with a modular design, including a forehead, back, top, and chin portion, all interconnected and adjustable to fit snugly on the user's head, along with a camera mount on the chin portion that allows for hands-free operation and adjustable positioning of the camera.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If chin straps are used to attach the helmet to the head, then the helmet can be securely attached, but the connection becomes difficult and uncomfortable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the chin strap component entirely from the helmet system. Instead of using traditional chin straps for attachment, the invention uses a head frame that fits directly over the head with cameras mounted on the frame structure itself, eliminating the need for separate attachment straps and their associated connection difficulties
Solution Approach 2:
The helmet is divided into separate modular components including a head frame portion and camera mount portions that can be independently adjusted and positioned. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function without the compromises required by integrated chin strap systems
2Productivity
If the camera is mounted on traditional helmets, then the camera can be attached, but the wearer cannot view the screen or know the camera direction, resulting in poor recordings
Solution Approach 1:
The camera mount portions are designed to be adjustable and repositionable on the head frame, allowing the wearer to dynamically change camera position, angle, and orientation during use. This enables optimal positioning for both recording quality and wearer visibility of the camera direction
Solution Approach 2:
The head frame design incorporates camera positions that provide natural feedback to the wearer about recording direction and framing. By positioning cameras at strategic locations on the head frame and making them adjustable, the wearer can directly observe the camera's field of view and make real-time adjustments to achieve desired recording angles

AI summary
A head frame for cameras that includes a forehead portion, a back head portion, a top head portion, and a chin portion all interconnected and adjustable to fit a user's head snugly. A camera mount is connected to the chin portion and is adapted to releasably hold a camera thereto, such that a user can use the camera in a hands-free mode.
