Zusammenfassung:A mounting device having a mounting assembly (20) for mounting a pair of goggles (30) to a helmet (10) is provided. The mounting assembly is configured to provide at least three degrees of freedom of movement using one or more actuation mechanisms for locking and unlocking a position of the mounting device. The number of actuation mechanisms is less than a number of degrees of freedom. In some aspects, the number of actuation mechanisms is one. A rotation base (302) connects the mounting assembly to the helmet, and a goggle linkage (307) connects the mounting assembly to the goggles. Various single actuation mechanisms, including a sliding mechanism, a friction-based wire/brake mechanism (50), and a floating friction brake mechanism, are provided.
