Patent ID: 8643568

Claim:
A wearable display apparatus comprising: a display for providing viewable images; and a display support assembly that supports the display, the display support assembly being resiliently centering and telescoping for adjusting position of the display for viewing by a user, the display support assembly comprising, right side and left side arm members spaced apart from each other, and a flexibly resilient support member to which the display is mounted between the arm members, the support member being telescopically mounted to the arm members, the support member having flexibly resilient right and left side portions secured to the display, each side portion being slideably mounted to a respective arm member for telescoping, the right side and left side portions of the support member being spaced apart from each other and including curved portions integrally formed with and bent in cantilevered fashion relative to a cross member to which the display is mounted at a center of the cross member, the curved portions and the cross member being formed from a unitary flexible resilient band shaped to provide the right side and left side portions of the support member with a preloaded resilient spring force outwardly away from each other that is constrained between the right side and left side arm members, the unitary band having a material cross section with a width of ⅛-½ inches that provides stiffness for supporting the display when in a generally horizontal orientation for viewing, while also having a constant lateral thickness of 0.02-0.06 inches thick that is thin enough to provide the unitary band with a low area moment of inertia in a lateral direction normal to the width, for providing the support member with incrementally accumulative symmetrical lateral resilient flexibility between the arm members to which said preloaded resilient spring force acts to resiliently center the display between the arm members with changes in distances between the arm members and/or telescoping of the support member.
