Detachable Audio System for Head-Mounted Displays

A detachable coupling structure to detachably couple an audio system to a head-mounted display system, the detachable coupling structure comprising:

• a base;
• and
• a plurality of posts, extending from the base, to couple to a strap of the head-mounted display, each post of the plurality of the posts comprising:
• a tip to be inserted into the strap;
• a groove to engage with the strap;
• and
• a spring, contacting the base, to detach the plurality of posts from the strap when the plurality of posts decouple from the strap.

A head-mounted display system, the head-mounted display system comprising:

• a head-mounted display;
• a strap for mounting the head-mounted display on the user's head, the strap comprising first and second rigid segments coupled to a semi-rigid segment from first and second ends of the semi-rigid segment respectively, the semi-rigid segment to conform to a portion of the user's head;
• an audio subsystem integrated with the head-mounted display, the audio subsystem comprising:
• a speaker;
• an arm coupled to the speaker;
• and
• a strap connector including a first side coupled to the arm and a second side opposite to the first side;
• and
• a coupling subsystem to couple the strap connector of the audio subsystem to the first rigid segment of the strap, the coupling subsystem comprising:
• a base including a first side engaged with the second side of the strap connector and a second side opposite to the first side;
• a plurality of posts extending from the second side of the base to couple to the first rigid segment of the strap;
• and
• a spring, contacting the second side of the base, to detach the coupling subsystem from the strap when the plurality of posts release from the first rigid segment of the strap.
