Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to temple and ear horn assemblies for head worn computers.

Claims

1. A head-worn computer, comprising:

a. A first side arm, including a temple section and an ear horn section;

b. The temple section, including a securing attachment system; and

c. The ear horn section, including a pin adapted to mate with the securing attachment system, wherein, when pressure is exerted to pull the ear horn section away from the temple section, the ear horn section securely separates from the temple section and the ear horn section is adapted to be rotated about the pin causing the ear horn to be positioned in a folding position;

wherein the folding position includes clearance for a second side arm to fully fold on top of the first side arm.

2. The head-worn computer of claim 1, wherein the temple section further includes a battery compartment.

3. The head-worn computer of claim 1, wherein the first side arm is rotatably attached to a bridge section, wherein the bridge section holds a see-through optic.

4. The head-worn computer of claim 3 wherein see-through optic is positioned such that it is held in front of an eye of a person wearing the head-worn computer.

5. The head-worn computer of claim 1 wherein the securing attachment system is further adapted to release the pin when the securing attachment system is rotated.
