Definitions

  • Protective helmets and face guards are commonly used by players in various sports, and are often required in league play and professional sports such as baseball, softball, and hockey.
  • batters and catchers are required to wear protective headgear to protect their heads, with the catcher's headgear additionally required to have a face guard typically referred to as a catcher's mask.
  • face guards are required to protect the wearer against being hit in the face with a ball.
  • Helmet 10 includes a rigid shell 12 defining a cavity 14 configured to fit over a wearer's head, and further defining a face opening 16 in the area of the wearer's face. Face opening 16 is substantially covered by face shield 18 secured (directly or indirectly) to rigid shell 12. Face shield 18 comprises a lower cage 20 and an upper transparent shield 22. Lower cage 20 is secured to rigid shell 12 to cover a portion of the wearer's lower face and mouth. Upper transparent shield 22 attaches to rigid shell 12 to cover an unobstructed viewing area adjacent the wearer's eyes and upper to mid-face. The top and upper side peripheral edges of shield 22 are secured in overlapping contact against a portion of rigid shell 12 adjacent opening 16. The bottom and lower side peripheral edges of shield 22 overlap and rest against corresponding portions of lower cage 20.
  • lower face cage 20 comprises an upper bar 40 having a central portion extending in an outward arc to generally conform to the shape of the lower front face and opposite ends extending vertically upward a distance along the side of the cage and secured to attachment plate 42.
  • a lower u-shaped bar 44 has upper ends secured to attachment plate 42 and extends downward to generally conform with the shape of the chin.
  • Intermediate bars 46a, 46b, 46c extend generally horizontally in an outward arc positioned at various distances between upper and lower bars 40, 44. Opposite ends of intermediate bars are secured along respective sides of lower bar 42.
  • upper bar 40 and intermediate 46a preferably are affixed in side-by-side relationship to provide added strength to the members.
  • Top, side, and bottom portions of frame 256 are configured to overlap corresponding portions of rigid shell 212.
  • Shield 218 is secured to the rigid shell via rivets 258 extending along the top and upper sides of the shield into corresponding apertures 50 (See FIG. 2) in the shell 212. It should be understood that other materials or fastening methods for guard 218 will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and are within the scope of the present invention.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un masque protecteur (18) à utiliser en sport. Le masque protecteur (18) comprend un écran (22) ayant une partie transparente (52) s'étendant sur une zone de visualisation non obstruée pour permettre au porteur d'avoir un axe de vision clair. La zone de visualisation non obstruée a de préférence un diamètre supérieur à environ 44 mm pour une partie de baseball et un diamètre supérieur à environ 60 mm pour une partie de softball de façon à améliorer la visibilité par rapport au masque protecteur classique. La partie transparente (52) de l'écran (22) est constituée d'un matériau qui supportera la frappe d'une balle et, de préférence, est constituée d'un matériau de poly(carbonate) clair ou teinté. Le masque protecteur (18) est configuré pour être fixé à un casque (10) de façon à offrir un support supplémentaire à l'écran (22) lors d'un impact et à réduire à un minimum la flexion.
