ABSTRACT:
A mount for monocular enhanced night vision goggles having an ocular preference adjustment, an interpupillary adjustment, an eye relief adjustment, a tilt adjustment, a vertical adjustment, a quick stowage feature and a flip-up stowage feature is disclosed. An apparatus in accordance with the present invention has a housing secured to headgear. A vertical block is slidably coupled to the housing allowing it to translate vertically. A chassis is rotatably coupled to the vertical block allowing it to rotate between an in-use and flip-up position. A monorail is rotatably coupled to the chassis allowing it to rotate between an in-use and a quick stowage position. A carriage is slidably coupled to the monorail allowing for an eye relief adjustment. Enhanced night vision goggles are attached to a socket assembly which is movably coupled to the carriage allowing relocation in front of either eye while facing the same direction.
