Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a face protection mask mainly worn by baseball catchers and umpires.

(Prior Art) Baseball catchers and umpires wear masks to protect their faces from the ball during games.
This mask forms a frame at intervals that do not obstruct visibility and prevent balls from rushing into it, and a cushioning pad with built-in shock absorbing material is placed on the inner surface of the frame where it contacts the forehead and face, and it is secured to the frame with a band. It was something to do.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional mask, the buffer pad, which is fixed to the frame with a band, has a substantially rectangular cross section as shown in Fig. 4, and has side halves in contact with the frame. is flat and located inside the frame, and the bands that fasten to the frame are provided at appropriate intervals, so the buffer pads are free from the frame between the fastening bands. However, due to repeated attachment and detachment, the free part is displaced, resulting in poor adhesion to the forehead or face value, which impairs the feeling of wearing.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, this invention is a mask in which buffer pads are provided at required parts of the frame body, and the face mask is configured so that the buffer pads located between the frames protrude outward from the frame. I wore a protective mask.

Furthermore, a recess is provided in any part of the buffer pad that actively contacts the frame (the inner surface or side surface of the frame, or both) and is fitted into the frame, so that the part of the buffer pad located between the frames protrudes outward from the frame. I made a mask to protect my face.

(Function) When the portion of the buffer pad located between the frames is made to protrude outward from the frame,
Since the protrusion is held in the frame and does not move, if the buffer pad is fixed to the desired part of the frame with a band, the buffer pad will be securely fixed to the frame and will not be displaced even after repeated use. There is no.

In addition, if a recess is provided at an arbitrary part of the buffer pad that contacts the frame and the buffer pad is fitted into the frame, and the part of the buffer pad located between the frames is made to protrude outward from the frame, the recess provided in the buffer pad in the frame may be inserted into the frame. The buffer pad is inserted into the frame and is in close contact with the buffer pad, while the protrusion of the buffer pad is clamped by the frame and does not move. Therefore, when this buffer pad is fixed to a desired part of the frame with a band, the buffer pad is securely fixed to the frame and will not be displaced even after repeated use.

(Example 1) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame body 1
In a mask A in which a separate buffer pad 2 is fixed to a required part of the buffer pad 2, parts 2', 2' of the buffer pad 2 located between the frames 1', 1' of the required part are attached to the frames 1', 1'. This is a face protection mask that protrudes further outward.

Although the projections 3 of the buffer pad are illustrated as being provided on the entire portion, they may be provided only on the main portion.

(Example 2) In the mask of the above example, as shown in FIG. It is a face protection mask fitted with a

It should be noted that the recessed portion 4 of the buffer pad may be provided in the entire portion or only in the main portion. Also,
Although not shown, the buffer pad 2 is attached to the frame body 1.
A band is preferable as the means for fixing it, as in the past.

(Effect of the invention) This invention has the advantage that the frame 1' of the frame body 1,
a portion 2' of the buffer pad 2 located between 1';
Since the cushioning pad 2' is made to protrude 3 outward from the frames 1', 1', the cushioning pad 2 can be reliably fixed to the frame body without the protrusion 3 being clamped by the frames 1', 1' and moving. Even if the cushioning pad 2 is repeatedly put on and taken off, it will not be displaced from its original position, and it will fit comfortably on the wearer's forehead and face, providing a good wearing feeling.

Furthermore, when configured as in Example 2, the adhesion between the frame body 1 and the buffer pad 2 is significantly improved, and even if the mask is repeatedly put on and taken off quickly, there is almost no free movement of the buffer pad. It also becomes easier to put on and take off.

In addition, when applied to a baseball mask, when a ball hits the mask, the frame body vibrates, and if the vibration is severe, people may faint for a moment, but this invented mask has cushioning pads protruding between the frames. Because of this, the protrusion has the effect of absorbing and mitigating the vibration of the frame, so the impact on the forehead and face is considerably reduced.
Extremely useful.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. A face protection mask in which cushioning pads are provided at required portions of the frame body, characterized in that the portions of the cushioning pads located between the frames protrude outward from the frame. 2. The face protection mask according to claim 1, wherein the buffer pad is fitted into the frame by providing a recess at an arbitrary portion where the buffer pad contacts the frame.
