ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly for a night vision system is provided which allows the night vision system to be easily and rapidly switched from one eye to the next. The night vision system has an optical portion, and a control housing affixed to the optical portion. The control housing has a first and a second mounting plate. The mounting assembly has a first and a second carriage, and each of the carriages are configured to receive a selected one of the mounting plates. The mounting assembly can then be secured to either a face mask worn by the operator, or a helmet worn by the operator. The position of the carriages can be adjusted to compensate for the inter-pupillary distance and elevation relative a normal line of sight of an operator's eyes. The carriages are carried by a threaded rod having two portions threaded in opposite directions, so that rotation of the knob moves the carriages either closer together or further apart, as desired. The carriages also pivot against a pivot rod to selectively alter the carriage's elevation.
