ABSTRACT:
A versatile optical mounting assembly utilizes a headband mount having a forward portion and a vertical member having upper and lower ends. The forward portion of the headband mount includes a slide assembly which receives the upper end of the vertical member, allowing the vertical member to be vertically adjusted and locked into place once a desired position is achieved. A multiple-degree-of freedom clamp assembly is further provided to connect the lower end of the vertical member to the top edge of the eyeglass frames, facilitating first and second rotational movements about separate axes. The invention may also be used in conjunction with an ocular mounting assembly, in which case a slide rail is centrally attached to the eyeglass frames at a point proximate to where the clamp assembly connects the lower end of the vertical member to the top edge of the eyeglass frames. A mounting pad is received by the slide rail which may be vertically adjusted and locked into place once a desired orientation is achieved, and a second multiple-degree-of freedom clamp assembly is preferably used to connect the mounting pad to the ocular mounting assembly.
