Head mounted illumination and camera assembly

A head mounted apparatus for illumination and remote viewing of a hard to reach work site, said apparatus comprising:

• a head band adapted to fit snugly on a human head above the eyes;
• means for illuminating the work site;
• camera means for generating signals representative of the visual image received from the work site;
• and
• an arm interconnecting said head band, said illuminating means and said camera means, said arm comprising:
• a first link attached to said head band;
• a second link pivotally connected to said first link at a first pivot point, said illuminating means and said camera means being manually pivotable together with respect to said head band at said first pivot point;
• means pivotally connecting said camera means to said second link at a second pivot point, said camera means being manually pivotable with respect to said illuminating means and said head band at said second pivot point;
• and
• means pivotally connecting said illuminating means to said second link at a third pivot point, said illuminating means being manually pivotable with respect to said head band and said camera means at said third pivot point.

• and
• means for interconnecting said illuminating means and said camera means and said head band, said interconnecting means comprising:
• a plate;
• a bracket for connecting said plate to said head band;
• means pivotally connecting said bracket to said plate at a first pivot point to permit said plate, said illuminating means and said camera means to be manually pivoted together with respect to said head band;
• means pivotally connecting said camera means to said plate at a second pivot point spaced from said first pivot point to permit said camera means to be manually pivoted with respect to said head band and said illuminating means;
• and
• means pivotally connecting said illuminating means to said plate at a third pivot point spaced from said first pivot point and from said second pivot point to permit said illuminating means to be manually pivoted with respect to said head band and said camera means.
