Improved mounting apparatus for head-up display.

摘要

The apparatus (10) affords a stowage position for the pilot's display unit (12) shown in phantom, by rotation of a mounting yoke (60) on shaft (62). A crash-release feature permits the unit (12) to break away forwardly, pivoting on pin (108). A catch (96) constrains the unit in a forward position to prevent the display unit from rebounding violently rearwardly toward the pilot's head. The mounting apparatus affords a quick-replacement capability which permits fast and easy removal and installation of the unit (12), a spring pressed rod (40) engaging a recess (67) in shaft (62) (see Fig. 2). Any need for realignment is eliminated.
