Ear horn assembly for headworn computer
Aspects of the present invention relate to side arm assemblies for head worn computers which may include a temple section and an ear horn section, where the temple section may include a first-side securing attachment system with a pin securing mechanism and the ear horn section may include a second-side securing attachment system with a pin member adapted to mate with the first-side securing attachment system, wherein the first-side and second-side securing attachment systems are adapted to secure the ear horn section to the temple section with a rotation of the pin securing mechanism.
1. A wearable head device, comprising:
a first side arm comprising a temple section and an ear horn section, wherein:
the temple section comprises a first-side securing attachment system, the first-side securing attachment system comprising a pin securing mechanism, the pin securing mechanism comprising a connector oriented along a first axis,
the ear horn section comprises a second-side securing attachment system adapted to mate with the first-side securing attachment system, the second-side securing attachment system comprising a pin member oriented along a second axis, different from the first axis, and
the first-side securing attachment system and second-side securing attachment system are adapted to secure the ear horn section to the temple section with a rotation of the connector along the first axis, wherein the rotation mechanically interconnects the pin member with the pin securing mechanism.
2. The wearable head device of claim 1 , wherein the temple section encloses a battery compartment.
3. The wearable head device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a front frame pivotally connected to the first side arm; and
a display coupled to the front frame and adapted to display computer content and to provide a user with a view of a surrounding environment.
4. The wearable head device of claim 3 , further comprising one or more electronic components associated with the front frame, wherein the ear horn section is adapted to wrap behind a user's ear and touch the user's head at a rear portion of the user's head to provide a counter acting force to a weight of the front frame and the one or more electronic components.
5. The wearable head device of claim 1 , wherein:
the wearable head device can be placed in a first, open configuration;
a rotation of the ear horn section along the second axis permits the wearable head device to be placed in a second, closed configuration.
