  • Publication number: 20120002046
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display mount includes a helmet-mountable interface, a display interface, a cam arm, and an adjustment mechanism. The helmet-mountable interface is configured to removably couple the display mount to a helmet. The display interface is configured to couple the display mount to a display. The cam arm is configured to position the display interface in a plurality of positions comprising a storage position and a display position. The adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust, independent of the cam arm, a position of the display interface along an X-axis, a Y-axis and a Z-axis. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are each orthogonal to each other. The adjustment mechanism includes a locking mechanism configured to lock an adjusted position of the display interface, such that the display interface mechanically returns to the locked adjusted position when the display interface transitions from the storage position to the display position.
