Eye Relief Adjustment Mechanism And Headset Display Device Including Eye Relief Adjustment Mechanism
Publication number: 20240134145Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an adjustment mechanism for adjusting an eye-to-lens distance of a headset display device. The adjustment mechanism can include an adjustment wheel that is rotatable by a user, a pinion gear fixed to a screw, and a threaded member receiving the screw and mounted to a forehead pad frame supporting a forehead pad. The adjustment wheel can include an internal bevel gear ring. The pinion gear is rotated by rotation of the internal bevel gear ring, and the screw rotates with the pinion gear. The pinion gear and the screw can rotate about a second axis. The threaded member moves along the screw, as the screw rotates, to move the forehead pad to adjust the eye-to-lens distance. The internal bevel gear ring, the pinion gear, and the screw are configured to allow additional components to pass through an interior of the adjustment wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Robert Coleman SKELTON, Brett Delainey CHRISTIE -
Patent number: 11892648Abstract: Expandable band systems for wearable devices, such as spatial computing headsets, are provided which have flexible and conformable form factors that enable users to reliably to secure such wearable devices in place. Further, in the context of spatial computing headsets with an optics assembly supported by opposing temple arms, the expandable band systems provide protection against over-extension of the temple arms or extreme deflections that may otherwise arise from undesirable torsional loading of the temple arms.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventor: Robert Coleman Skelton

Patent number: 11675422Abstract: A device includes a display and an internal strap coupled to the display, the internal strap being adjustable to secure the device to the user. The device also includes a deformable material coupled to a portion of the internal strap and configured to contact the user when the device is secured to the user and a backing layer disposed against the deformable material, the backing layer including an aperture therein. The device further includes a switch coupled to the backing layer and configured such that at least a portion of the switch is insertable in the aperture of the backing layer, wherein the deformable material is configured to deform when the device is secured to the user, thereby causing the switch to be positioned in a first position when the device is secured to the user and a second position when the device is removed from the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Robert Coleman Skelton, Blake Francis Andersen
