| Abstract: |
An apparatus (10) for conveniently holding a viewing device (20) at the eye level of the user is provided, which allows the user to properly position the device (20) for ease of use without the need for continually holding the device (20), and also allows the device (20) to be pivoted to a retracted, non-use position. The apparatus (10) includes an attachment headband (16) which pivotally supports a pair of elongated, forwardly extending arms (12, 14); a tray (18) extends between and is secured to the arms (12, 14) and supports the device (20). The tray (18) is adjustable both vertically and in a fore and aft direction so that it can be precisely positioned for each individual user. A cap assembly (92) may be releasably secured to the apparatus (10) to cover the user's head and the device (20).

1. An apparatus for holding one of a plurality of viewing devices at the eye level of a user comprising:
- a pair of elongated arms each having a first and a second end;
- an attachment for mounting said first ends of said arms on opposite sides of the user's head with the arms extending forwardly and said second arm ends spaced from the user's head;
- an adjustment bracket extending between and secured adjacent the second ends of said arms; and
- a tray supported upon said bracket forwardly of the user's head, said tray having a nose-receiving recess in a rearward surface and adapted to hold said viewing device from below,
- said arms being swingable between a use position where said viewing device is at the user's eye level and a crosspiece of said tray is below the user's eye level, and an elevated retracted position where the viewing device is moved out of the user's field of vision.
