FIG. 2 illustrates a shock absorbingprotective mask 1, and the shock absorbingprotective mask 1 comprises acap body 2, agrid frame 3, at least one cushion shock absorber 4, and at least onepivot member 5. - In
FIG. 2 , thecap body 2 has areceiving space 21 and a front opening 22, which are connected to each other. Thegrid frame 3 is assembled on thecap body 2 and Covers the front opening 22 of thecap body 2. The at least onecushion shock absorber 4 has abody 41 and apiston rod 42, wherein thebody 41 is combined with thecap body 2, thepiston rod 42 is slidably attached to thebody 41 and slides relative to thebody 41. The at least onepivot member 5 has afirst member 51 and asecond member 52, which are pivotally connected to each. Thefirst member 51 is connected and fixed to thegrid frame 3. For example, they are welded after an aluminum rod is passed through. Thesecond member 52 is connected and fixed to thepiston rod 42 of the at least one cushion shock absorber 4. For example, they are connected and fixed by screwing as described below. - In this embodiment, the
grid frame 3 is an aluminum alloy grid frame. Furthermore, thebody 41 is screwed on and combined with thecap body 2 with at least onescrew 411.FIG. 2 shows thebody 41 is screwed on and combined with thecap body 2 with twoscrews 411. In addition, the number of the at least onecushion shock absorber 4 is four, and each two of thecushion shock absorbers 4 are located each of the two sides of thecap body 2. The number of the at least Onepivot member 5 matches the number of thecushion shock absorbers 4 and as such, is also four.FIG. 2 only shows one side of thecap body 2 because of the viewing angle. - Refer to
FIG. 3 , which is a schematic of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention under usage.FIG. 3 illustrates that thecushion shock absorbers 4 would be cushioned and absorb shocks to avoid injuries to the user when the shock absorbingprotective mask 1 is subjected to impact by an external impact. When the shock absorbingprotective mask 1 is subjected to an external impact which is too strong and causes the deformation of thegrid frame 3, thefirst member 51, connected and fixed to thegrid frame 3, of thepivot member 5 and thesecond member 52, connected and fixed to thepiston rod 42 of thecushion shock absorbers 4, pivotally rotate relative to each other. Therefore, thecushion shock absorbers 4 can still maintain a cushion shock absorbing function, and thecushion shock absorbers 4 indeed achieve cushion shock absorbing effects. Comparatively, when the shock absorbingprotective mask 1 is subjected to an external impact which is too strong and causes the deformation of thegrid frame 3, users can indeed avoid injury with the cushion shock absorbing effects of thecushion shock absorbers 4. - Refer to

Thespring 43 is circularly mounted on thepiston rod 42 and pushes against thepiston rod 42 and thebody 41. Thus, thespring 43 can provide theelastic rod 42 with prestress to slide. -
FIG. 4 andFIG. 5 further show that each of thecushion shock absorbers 4 further has a threadedsleeve 44 and anut 45 in this embodiment. The threadedsleeve 44 pushes against thespring 43 and is screwed to thebody 41, i.e. thespring 43 pushes against thepiston rod 42 and the threadedsleeve 44, which is screwed to thebody 41. Thenut 45 is screwed to the threadedsleeve 44. Thus, the screwed depth of the threadedsleeve 44 screwed to thebody 41 can be adjusted, and then thenut 45 is screwed to fix. At this time, because the threadedsleeve 44 pushes against thespring 43, the amount of the extension and the retraction (longer or shorter) of thespring 43 can be relatively adjusted. The elastic strength of thespring 43 can be adjusted, and thereby, thecushion shock absorbers 4 can provide stronger or weaker cushion shock absorbing effects with the aforesaid adjustment. - In this embodiment, the recited
nut 45 is a manual nut, i.e. the user can directly screw thenut 45 with their hands. Of course, thenut 45 may also have a groove (not shown), and the user can screw thenut 45 with a flathead screwdriver or a Phillips screwdriver. - Refer to
