Abstract
The head mountable electronic device can include a display frame and a securement arm extending from the display frame. The securement arm can include a proximal segment including a first contact feature, a distal segment including a second contact feature, the proximal segment disposed between the distal segment and the display frame, and a joint, the distal segment rotatably coupled to the proximal segment at the joint, wherein an interior side of the securement arm defines a interior radius of curvature and an exterior side of the securement arm opposite the interior side defines an exterior radius of curvature, the exterior radius of curvature being greater than the interior radius of curvature.
Claims20
A head mountable device, comprising:
- a frame;
- a window connected to the frame;
- and
- a securement arm extending from the frame, the securement arm comprising:
- a proximal segment including a first contact feature;
- a distal segment including a second contact feature, the proximal segment disposed between the distal segment and the frame;
- and
- a joint, the distal segment rotatably coupled to the proximal segment at the joint;
- wherein:
- an interior side of the securement arm defines a interior radius of curvature;
- and
- an exterior side of the securement arm opposite the interior side defines an exterior radius of curvature, the exterior radius of curvature being greater than the interior radius of curvature.
A securement arm for a wearable device, comprising:
- a first portion defining a volume;
- an electronic component disposed within the volume;
- a proximal portion having a first proximal end rotatably coupled to the first portion and a first distal end opposite the first proximal end, the proximal portion defining a first contact location at or near the first distal end;
- and
- a distal portion having a second proximal end rotatably coupled to the proximal portion and a second distal end opposite the second proximal end, the distal portion defining a distal contact location at or near the second distal end;
- wherein the proximal portion defines an interior side having a concave radius of curvature.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a frame;
- a window secured to the frame;
- a securement arm coupled to the frame, the securement arm comprising:
- a fixed portion connected to the frame and including a projector configured to project light that is displayed at the window;
- a first portion coupled to the fixed portion and including a first touch pad at a first contact location;
- a second portion including a second touch pad at a second contact location;
- and
- a joint rotatably coupling the first portion and the second portion, the joint located between the first touch pad and the second touch pad.
