A mounting assembly for a night vision display unit uses friction hinges to effectively
position the display unit at a desired position relative to the vehicle operator.
In a dashboard mounting arrangement, the friction hinge dampens movement of the
display unit. In the visor mounted arrangement, the friction hinge assembly and
catch assembly ensure convenient, effective storage and deployment of the visor
or display unit without one component adversely impacting on the operation and
use of the other component.
