Abstract
A head mounted display mounting assembly for casual headwear is provided. The assembly comprises a resilient support band that is employed to secure a head-mounted display unit to a piece of casual headwear worn by a user. The head mounted display mounting assembly can be supported by pre-existing structures (e.g., sweat band) of a piece of casual headwear, and further supported and/or secured to temple regions of the casual headwear. Once seated within and secured to the piece of casual headwear, the head-mounted display unit can be secured to the head mounted display mounting assembly, providing a comfortable and integrated wearable experience for the user.
Claims20
A head mounted display mounting assembly for casual headwear, comprising:
- a resilient support band having an elongate shape that presents a first face and a second face opposite the first face, a top, a bottom opposite the top, a first portion and a second portion extending in opposing directions away from a central portion of the resilient support band, a first mounting protrusion extending away from the top of the first portion of the resilient support band, and a second mounting protrusion extending away from the top of the second portion of the resilient support band,
- a first mounting element having a first set of mounting fasteners that removably secure the first mounting element to the resilient support band at the first mounting protrusion, and a first set of head mounted display mounting clips extending transversely way from the first face;
- and
- a second mounting element having a second set of mounting fasteners that removably secure the second mounting element to the resilient support band at the second mounting protrusion, and a second set of head mounted display mounting clips extending transversely away from the first face,
- wherein the resilient support band is adapted to be flexed into a semi-circular configuration for insertion into a pocket of the casual headwear piece, and the first mounting element and the second mounting element are receivable by the pocket after the resilient support band is inserted into the pocket of the casual headwear piece such that the first set of mounting fasteners and the second set of mounting fasteners removably couple with the resilient support band.
A head mounted display mounting assembly for casual headwear, comprising:
- a resilient support band having an elongate shape that presents a first face and a second face opposite the first face, a top, a bottom opposite the top, a first portion and a second portion extending in opposing directions away from a central portion of the resilient support band, a first mounting protrusion comprising a first set of complimentary grooves and extending away from the top of the first portion of the resilient support band, and a second mounting protrusion comprising a second set of complimentary grooves and extending away from the top of the second portion of the resilient support band,
- a first mounting element having a first set of mounting fasteners comprising a first set of opposing projections that removably snap into and secure the first mounting element to the resilient support band at the first set of complimentary grooves on the first mounting protrusion, and a first set of head mounted display mounting clips extending transversely way from the first face;
- and
- a second mounting element having a second set of mounting fasteners comprising a second set of opposing projections that removably snap into and secure the second mounting element to the resilient support band at the second set of complimentary grooves on the second mounting protrusion, and a second set of head mounted display mounting clips extending transversely away from the first face,
- wherein the resilient support band is adapted to be flexed into a semi-circular configuration for insertion into a pocket of the casual headwear piece, and the first mounting element and the second mounting element are receivable by the pocket after the resilient support band is inserted into the pocket of the casual headwear piece such that the first set of mounting fasteners and the second set of mounting fasteners removably couple with the resilient support band.
