Mounting mechanism and head mounted apparatus

Abstract

This invention relates a mounting apparatus, mounted at a predetermined portion, e.g., the head portion of the user, for holding an apparatus at a predetermined position and, more particularly, to a mounting mechanism which allows easy adjustment of the holding position after the apparatus is mounted. The mounting mechanism presses against at least two points of a target portion, e.g., the head portion of the user, with at least one holding means (3), so as to detachably mount an apparatus (1) connected to the holding means (3) on the target portion. The holding means (3) includes a roller (10) which allows easy position adjustment after the apparatus is mounted. When position adjustment is to be performed after the apparatus is mounted, e.g., when the apparatus (1) is heavy, and the skin of the user sags or the apparatus is mounted at a position deviating from a predetermined position, the roller is rotated after the apparatus (1) is moved upward. The moving (rotating) direction of the roller (10) is limited by a one-way clutch or the like. The roller can rotate in only in the direction in which the apparatus moves upward. This obviates the necessity to mount the apparatus again from the beginning when position adjustment is to be performed or to mount the apparatus upon predicting the amount of sag of the skin due to the weight of the apparatus.
