Patent number: 11782282Abstract: The disclosed flexible facial interface assemblies for head-mounted display systems may include a rigid support frame element and a flexible facial interface frame element. The rigid support frame element may be shaped and configured to physically support a display of a head-mounted display system in front of a user's eyes when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. The flexible facial interface frame element may be configured to flex to conform to the user's facial features when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. An outer periphery of the flexible facial interface frame element may be independently movable relative to an outer periphery of the rigid support frame element. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Quintin Morris, Shane Michael Ellis, Scott Andrew Dallmeyer, Peter Wesley Bristol, David Michael Pickett, Joel Bernard Jacobs, Yi-Yaun Chen, Enric Vial Roig

Patent number: 10560769Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMID) includes a strap arm that transmits audio. The HMID includes a front rigid body and a strap arm. The strap arm includes a body portion defining a boss having an aperture that rotatably connects the strap arm to the front rigid body. The body portion defines an audio passage to transmit sound and an audio port to output the sound. The audio passage is defined along the body portion between the aperture of the boss and the audio port. A speaker is positioned, such as within the aperture, to emit the sound through the audio passage and to the audio port. The strap arm can further include a back volume unit that enhances the sound transmitted through the audio passage.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Peter Wesley Bristol, Scott Andrew Dallmeyer, Quintin Morris, Matthew James Devoe, David Tao

Patent number: 10358264Abstract: The disclosed apparatus may include a hang tag including a frame, a flap, and a strip. The frame may define an opening dimensioned to receive a display fixture and be secured to part of a package that is removable from a second part of the package. The flap may be coupled to the frame, and may fold over an edge of the frame to attach to the second part of the package, forming a seal between the two parts of the package. The strip may be disposed between, and removably coupled to, the flap and the frame. Removing the strip may break the seal between the two parts of the package, thereby enabling the parts of the package to be separated. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Peter Wesley Bristol, Scott Andrew Dallmeyer, Chun Li Chen
