Abstract
A head-mounted device may include a frame having an inner peripheral edge defined within a peripheral region of the frame, a temple extending from the peripheral region of the frame, and a hinge assembly coupling the temple to the frame. The head-mounted device may include a wiper gasket that is configured to engage a peripheral surface of a stationary section of the hinge assembly and extend around the inner peripheral edge of the frame to seal against ingress of water and dust. The stationary section may be coupled to the frame via one or more internal mounts such that force applied on the frame is transferred to the internal mounts, thereby minimizing forces experienced by the wiper gasket.
