Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/594,339, filed Mar. 30, 2005, entitled MOUNT FOR DIGITALLY ENHANCED NIGHT VISION DEVICE.
- 1. Technical Field
- The invention relates to the field of helmet mounts for viewing devices, and more particularly to helmet mounts for night viewer devices that attached to a helmet of a user of the device.
- 2. Background Art
- Conventional viewing devices, such as night viewers and the like, are known which removably attach to a support structure secured to a helmet or face mask. These conventional viewer devices are relatively movable by manipulation of the support structure to align at least one eye piece of the viewer device with at least one eye of the user.
- Night vision systems are commonly used by military and law enforcement personnel for conducting operations in low light or night conditions. These systems intensify the ambient light to produce an output image which is visible to the human eye. Such night vision systems either take the form of binoculars, having separate eye pieces for each eye, or monoculars, having only a single eye piece.
- Additionally, the support structure and viewer device are possibly provided with cooperating structural features which insure that the viewer device may be electrically deactivated when it is removed from the support structure.
- Helmet mounting assemblies for viewer devices are available for securing viewing devices to an operator's helmet. Helmet mounting assemblies of this kind are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,446,585, issued 29 Aug. 1995, to Roland M. Morley, et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,471,678, issued 5 Dec. 1995, to Amotz Dor; and, U.S. Pat. No. 5,506,730, issued 9 Apr. 1996, to Roland M. Morley et al., among others.
- It frequently becomes necessary for the operator of a night vision system or other viewing device to adjust its operational position in order that the operator can optimize the position of the viewing device along an ocular axis of the user. Thus, it would be desirable to provide a mount for a night vision system or other viewing device that enables the system to be easily adjustable in a plurality of axis relative to the user.
- While the above cited references introduce and disclose a number of noteworthy advances and technological improvements within the art, none completely fulfills the specific objectives achieved by this invention.
- In accordance with the present invention, a system for removably mounting a device that is viewable by a user to an essentially rigid headgear worn by the user includes a removable strap assembly that extends about an outer surface of the headgear. The strap assembly has a first end and a second end. The strap assembly further includes a strap with a first end and a second end. A first means for securing is affixed to the first end of the strap for removably securing the first end of the strap to a first edge of the head gear. A second securing means is affixed to the second end of the strap for removably securing the second end of the strap to an opposing second edge of the headgear. A mounting assembly unit extends from the strap assembly in proximity to the first end of the strap assembly for controllably positioning the device in an ocular axis of the user. The mounting assembly controllably adjusts the position of the device to be viewed generally along a horizontal axis of the user, along a vertical axis of the user, and along a forward and backward axis in relation to the viewer.
- The present mounting system optionally includes a pivot point about which the user may pivot the device about at least one of the axis of movement with the mounting assembly unit.
- These and other objects, advantages and features of this invention will be apparent from the following description taken with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown the preferred embodiments of the invention.
- A more particular description of the invention briefly summarized above is available from the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and discussed in further detail below. Through this reference, it can be seen how the above cited features, as well as others that will become apparent, are obtained and can be understood in detail. The drawings nevertheless illustrate only typical, preferred embodiments of the invention and are not to be considered limiting of its scope as the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
