## Abstract

Provided is an information display assembly that is hardly affected by an external force such as traveling wind when mounted on a helmet and that ensures easy attachability and detachability to and from the helmet. In an information display assembly including a display unit displaying information, and a frame connected to the display unit to allow mounting of the display unit on the helmet, the frame has resiliency and is provided at opposite ends thereof with pressing parts, and the pressing parts are fixed on an inner side of the helmet by restoring force of resilient deformation. The display unit and the frame are commonly provided at a single location therebetween with a connecting par. The display unit is displaceably supported relative to the frame.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information display assembly comprising:
a display unit displaying information; and
a frame connected to the display unit to allow mounting of the display unit on a helmet, wherein
the frame has a frame main body that is in a form of a thin strip and that is bent in an arcuate form to have resiliency and the frame main body is provided with pressing parts respectively provided at each of opposite ends of the frame main body, the pressing parts are provided with pressing surfaces on outer surfaces of the pressing parts, the outer surfaces of the pressing parts being located at outer sides of the frame main body, the frame is configured to be disposed inside the helmet under flexed conditions in an arcuate shape with the pressing surfaces of the pressing parts fixed on an inner surface of the helmet by restoring force of resilient deformation of the frame main body,
the display unit and the frame are commonly provided at a single location therebetween with a connecting part, and
the display unit is displaceably supported relative to the frame.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)
