Abstract

In an ocular support assembly material present in the forward-looking cross-section of the outwardly extending support arms is removed, thereby reducing visual obscuration and enhancing peripheral vision. In the preferred embodiment, the top of each outwardly extending support arm is at or below the middle of the height of the housing, thereby resulting in a low-profile design. At the same time, the support arms are received by the housing with sliding engagement on all sides, thereby eliminating the need for ball bearings or spacers to counteract twisting. The result is a lightweight yet highly stable ocular mounting assembly.

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a low profiled optical mounting assembly showing our new design;
FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a top view thereof; and,
FIG. 4 is a side view thereof.
The broken lines form no part of the claimed design.
