Mounting mechanism suitable for head mount display device and head mount display device using the same

Abstract

There is provided a position adjusting mechanism capable of making the adjustment of position easily and surely without an unnecessary force being transmitted to a support portion when the position of equipment is adjusted. Shafts 30 and 31 are provided with gears 31 and 33, respectively. In a state in which an unlock button 4 is not pressed, lock members 34 and 35 are urged by plate springs 36 and 37 to positions at which the rotation of the gears 31 and 33 is inhibited, respectively. When the unlock button 4 is pressed, an integrated unlock lever 38 also moves, so that parts 38a and 38b of the lever 38 intrude into square holes 34c and 35c formed in the lock members 34 and 35, respectively. The parts 38a and 38b are provided with a taper. By the intrusion of the parts, the tapers is guided to move into the square holes to move the lock members 34 and 35 against the urging forces of the plate springs 36 and 37. Thereby, the lock members 34 and 35 are moved to positions at which the rotation of the gears 31 and 33 is permitted, so that the equipment and the support portion attached to the shafts 30 and 32 can be rotated around the shaft. When the unlock button 4 is released, the button 4 is returned to the original position by a compression spring 39, so that the lock members 34 and 35 return to the original positions. Thereby, the shafts 30 and 32 are locked again.
