ABSTRACT:
A head mounted apparatus for illuminating a work site, and for transmitting a visual image of the work site to a remote location for viewing on a television screen. A camera and a light source are mounted on a head band which is worn by the user. The camera lens is disposed generally between the eyes of the user to allow viewing of the same image as the user is seeing. The light source is disposed slightly above the camera, and is coupled to a remote light source by a fiber optic cable. The light source and the camera are independently pivotally mounted on a bracket, and the bracket is pivotally mounted to the head band. A series of three pivotal attachments is provided so that the elevational angle of the light source can be adjusted independently of the camera and the head band, so that the elevational angle of the camera can be adjusted independently of the light source and the head band, and so that the light source and camera can have their elevational angles adjusted together with respect to the head band.
