Patent attributes
A head magnifier is provided, comprising magnifying optics as well as a coupling mechanism for attaching the magnifying optics to a head mount which can be placed on a user's head. The coupling mechanism has a swivel mechanism enabling swiveling of the magnifying optics relative to the head mount about a swivel axis, and an adjusting mechanism enabling adjustment of the distance between the magnifying optics and either the swivel axis or the head mount by moving the magnifying optics along a longitudinal axis. The swivel mechanism provides a swivel angle range for the magnifying optics and enables setting and fixing of different swivel angles of the magnifying optics, said angles falling within the swivel angle range. The swivel axis extends in front of the user's head in the mounted condition of the head magnifier, and the adjusting mechanism telescopes with the magnifying optics mounted to the mechanism's front end.
