Publication number: 20250102810Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn. The head-mounted housing may be coupled to the user's head using a headband. The headband may include an upper headband portion and a lower headband portion that extends from the first headband portion. The upper and lower headband portions may extend from the head-mounted housing at fixed angles and may be offset from a support post of the head-mounted housing. Stiffeners may be included in the upper and lower headband portions. The stiffeners may include graded stiffeners and/or braided cords that help the upper and/or lower headband portions conform to a user's head. The headband may also include a temple housing coupled to the upper and lower headband portions that has an opening to attach the headband to the support post and/or may include keeper loops.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Ryan M David, Benjamin A Shaffer, Benjamin A Stevenson, Evan A Cernokus, Robert V Tang, Dustin A Hatfield, Yuhao Pan, Erin Bosch, Alexander Siegel, Megan Grant, Zachary M Hammond, Lindsey J Scenna, Alyssa B Abood, Zilan Chen, Michael Wu, Venkata Narayana Murthy Arelekatti, Nathaniel M Henderson-Cox, Chad J Miller

Publication number: 20240398053Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn by the user. The head-mounted housing may be coupled to the user's head using a headband. The headband may include a first headband portion and a second headband portion that extends from the first headband portion at a fixed angle. Stiffeners may be included in the first and second headband portions. The stiffeners may be formed from braided cords and may be embedded in the first and second headband portions to allow the headband to conform to a user's head when worn. Other stiffeners may be mounted to a surface of the headband to maintain an angle between the first and second headband portions. The ends of the headband may have curved corners, and may appear seamless to the naked eye.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Ryan M David, Benjamin A Shaffer, Benjamin A Stevenson, Evan A Cernokus, Robert V Tang, Dustin A Hatfield, Erin M Bosch, Yuhao Pan, Venkata Narayana Murthy Arelekatti, Katherine E Christensen, Paul J Biestek, Alexander Siegel, Megan Grant, Zachary M Hammond, Lindsey J Scenna, Alyssa B Abood, Thanh T Tran, Zilan Chen, Michael Wu

Publication number: 20240081489Abstract: A band includes a latch body that is movable by pulling a tab. The latch body extends through an opening of the band and secures with a pin located on a head-mountable device. The band can detach from the head-mountable device by pulling the tab, which actuates the latch body and removes the latch body from the pin. A spring (or springs) can bias the latch body toward the opening, causing the latch body to enter the pin. An applied force to the tab can overcome the biasing force provided by the spring(s), and move the latch body away from, and out of, the pin.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Yiwei TAO, Aiden D. MOSSOP, Benjamin A. SHAFFER, Lauren D. GERARDI, Nicolas LYLYK, Paul J. THOMPSON, Richard P. HOWARTH, Robert V. TANG, Toria F. YAN, Wei-Ling CHANG, Zebinah P. MASSE

Publication number: 20240028072Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn by the user. The head-mounted device housing may have housing structures such as elongated housing members with protruding posts. A headband may be removably coupled to the head-mounted device housing. The headband may have a strap with openings configured to receive the posts. Releasable latches may be provided to allow selective engagement and disengagement between the headband and the housing. The latches may contain movable latch members that are biased using magnetic biasing mechanisms, spring-based biasing mechanisms, or other biasing mechanisms. To release each latch, a tab, button, toggle lever, slider, or other release mechanisms may be actuated by a user. This moves the movable latch member from a closed latch position to an open latch position that releases the headband from the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Toria F. Yan, Ryan M. David, Ryan Fernandez, Tingqing Liao, Yunhe Huang, Bingda Liu, Hao Zhu, Lauren D. Gerardi, Benjamin A. Shaffer, Robert V. Tang, Richard P.
