Helmet Camera Toothed Mount for Stable Impact-Resistant Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing helmet camera systems are complex, unsuitable for professional use, and prone to accidental angle changes during impact, lacking a simple and stable mounting solution for firefighters and other professionals.
Innovation Solution
A helmet camera system with a toothed ring and toothed ring segment that allows for non-positive and positive-locking connections, enabling quick and intuitive mounting and adjustment of the camera on a helmet, preventing accidental angle changes, using mechanisms like springs, magnets, and locking devices for stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed and immovable mounting system is used, then the camera position is stable, but the system becomes complex and difficult to install manually
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate modular components: a helmet holding device attached to the helmet and a camera holding device attached to the camera. These segments connect through a toothed ring interface that allows manual assembly while providing stable, tool-free fastening. The segmentation enables independent installation of each component and simplifies the overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
A toothed ring serves as an intermediary element between the helmet holding device and the camera holding device. This intermediate component enables the connection between the two main parts through simple manual manipulation while ensuring reliable positioning. The toothed ring acts as a mediator that translates simple user actions into precise, stable camera mounting without requiring complex mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a manually adjustable light system is used, then the positioning flexibility is improved, but the position changes easily on impact
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates dynamic adjustability through the toothed ring mechanism, which allows the camera position to be easily changed by manual manipulation during normal use. The dynamic nature of the connection enables quick repositioning while maintaining stability when the camera is properly engaged with the toothed ring teeth, providing both flexibility and reliability.
3Reliability
If a tool-based fastening system is used, then the mounting stability is improved, but the installation time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is designed to be self-servicing through the toothed ring mechanism that can be manually engaged and disengaged without tools. The user can directly manipulate the camera holding device to attach or detach the camera from the helmet, eliminating the need for external tools while maintaining secure mounting stability through the interlocking toothed ring design.

AI summary
A helmet camera system (10) includes a helmet (11), a camera (12), a helmet holding device (13) fastened to the helmet and a camera holding device (14) fastened to the camera. The helmet holding device and the camera holding device are configured such that they can be connected to one another in non-positive and/or positive-locking manner for holding the camera at the helmet. The helmet holding device has a toothed ring (15) having internal teeth and the camera holding device has at least one toothed ring segment (16) having external teeth. The toothed ring segment can be positioned in the toothed ring for establishing the non-positive and/or positive-locking connection between the helmet holding device and the camera holding device. A fastening device, a helmet system as well as a camera system for a helmet camera system (10) are provided.
