To all ll1/0m t may concern.'

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM FRIEDMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Head-Garment, of which the following is a specification. n

his invention relates to head garments.

The object'of 'the'invention is to aord protection for the head and neck, the garmenthaving an eye shieldy shaped to it snugly upon the upper portion of the face or, when not in "use, to t snugly upon 'the crown portion ofthegarment where it will notj be conspicuous or cause rdiscomfort to the wearer.

A furth whereby, can be attached to necessitating the use r Objectis to of the eye shield, the face guard being so proportioned as to entirely cover the face, the nose having a protecting means extending from the guard.

Another object is 'to provide means-whereby the` neck portion of the garment can be attached'readily'to or `detachedfrom a coat or the like thus to protect the neck of 'the wearer while the garment is in use but permitting the easy removal of the garment from the coat.

With the foregoing and other Objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination land arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

and extend about the neck, the' to extend into the neck portion of the coat of the wearer. The crown 6 eXtendsforwa-rdly beyond the frontedges oflthe apron portion thereof so that the forehead and cheeks of the wearer are protected while the face is exposed.

Snap or glove fasteners 8 are secured to the garment 'along thefront' edge of the crown and additional Afasteners 9are secured along the edges 7 ofthe hood'6. Other fasteners 10 are secured to the `sides of the garment close to the seam 4 and above additional like fasteners 11 on apron.v
