Abstract

Claims (10)

1. A head-worn computer including a frame with see-through display optics and a removable combiner comprising:

a. a combiner that is partially reflective;

b. two or more parallel pins, made from a magnetic material, that are rigidly attached to the combiner;

c. magnets attached to a frame of the head-worn computer in positions that correspond to the pins, that attract the pins so that the pins slide into matching bores in the frame to position the combiner below the frame; and

d. wherein the strength of the magnets is selected to be strong enough to hold the combiner in position during use but weak enough to enable the combiner to be removed.

2. The head-worn computer of claim 1 wherein the pins are designed to break under impact.

3. The head-worn computer of claim 1 wherein the combiner is designed to break from the pins under impact.

4. The head-worn computer of claim 1 wherein the magnets are ring magnets and the pins extend through the magnets.

5. The head-worn computer of claim 1 wherein the magnets are contained within inserts that include bores to guide the pins.

6. The head-worn computer of claim 1 wherein the pins are attached to the combiner using a jig and adhesive.
