Abstract
A helmet mount (10) for night vision goggles (12) is disclosed that is formed with a rear clamp (24), front clamp (16), a strap (20) disposed between the front and rear clamps (16, 24), and a goggle mounting structure (14). The goggle mounting structure (14) secures the night vision goggles (12) to the helmet mount (10) and allows the goggles (12) to be placed in a stowed position when not in use and a line-of-sight position when a used. Additionally, the goggle mounting structure (14) has power activator (58, 60, 62, 64) that automatically deactivates the power when the goggles are not in use and activates the power when the goggles are in use. The helmet mount (10) has adapters (80, 86) that allow the mount to be used with various types of night vision goggles.
