Head-mounted display

Embodiments relate to a metal frame in a head-mounted display (HMD) that is structured to absorb impact and protect components of the HMD. The metal frame has a wall that is spaced away from a protection shell securing a display panel in the HMD. When the HMD is dropped or subject to external force, the wall may deform but keep the protection shell intact. Moreover, the metal frame has protruding ridges and brackets that surround outward facing cameras on the HMD. If the HMD is dropped, the protruding ridges and brackets can provide protection to the cameras.

An apparatus for adjusting a head strap in a head-mounted display (HMD) includes a rigid body, a flexible link, a spool, a torsion spring, a driving gear assembly a rigid shaft, a rod, and a holder. The driving gear assembly includes a first gear and a second gear. The torsion spring applies a biasing torque onto the driving gear assembly. Based on the biasing torque from the torsion spring, the driving gear assembly rotates. The spool rotates relative to the rigid body to wind the flexible link onto the spool. A biasing torque adjustment mechanism may be provided to adjust the biasing torque applied by the torsion spring.

A battery box for a wearable computing device is disclosed. The battery box is comprised of a cover, battery, a structural housing sized to hold the battery, and a polymer rim. The battery box is enveloped in a thermoplastic elastomer molecularly bonded to the polymer rim. The polymer rim, thermoplastic elastomer, and cover of the battery box cooperatively resist fluid ingress into the battery box.
