Abstract:
A head-mounted ocular assembly, comprising:an ocular support assembly including a pair of slidably disposed ocular support arms, each with an end for supporting a pair of ocular devices rotatably attached to the ends of the ocular support arms, each ocular support arm including a set of serrated teeth;an interpupillary adjustment knob having a gear with teeth that physically engage with the serrated teeth of the ocular support arms, whereby rotation of the interpupillary adjustment knob causes the ocular support arms to slide in and out of the assembly housing for adjustment of the interpupillary distance between the two ocular devices;a clamp assembly which frictionally engages a pair of view-angle hinge pins defining a first axis of rotational freedom and a pair of flip-up hinge pins defining a second axis of rotational freedom, the two axes of rotational freedom being spaced apart and parallel to one another, wherein view angle is adjusted by rotating the ocular support assembly about the first axis, and the ocular devices are flipped up by rotating the ocular support assembly and clamp assembly members about the second axis;a height adjustment rail coupled to the clamp assembly through the flip-up hinge pins; anda head mount to which the assembly attaches through the height adjustment rail.
