Abstract

A protective face guard (20) for use in baseball and other sports and which comprises a mask piece (22), an impact cushioning forehead pad (50), an impact cushioning mouth pad (52), a strap (46) and a mouth guard (64). The mask piece includes a front protective portion (26) extending from a point just above the player's head to a point below the player's chin and also includes two side protective portions (34) extending from opposite sides of the front portion. The mask piece is formed with a visor aperture (40) to accommodate the visor of a cap worn by a player and a vision aperture (42) which provides the player with an unobstructed front and peripheral view. The mask piece (22) is illustrated in a first embodiment as being formed from a sheet of molded thermoplastic material and in a second embodiment as being formed from a matrix of interconnected rod members.
