ABSTRACT:
A light weight protective face mask comprising an integrally molded shell of high impact plastic having a convex curvature for glancing deflection of impacting objects. Unobstructed vision is afforded by a generous vision aperture shaped like a pair of ski goggles. The mask has a projecting prow overlying and protecting the mouth of the wearer but allowing freedom of movement of the chin and jaw. An arched nose bridge overlies and protects the nose. Cushioning pads are attached to the inside surface of the mask overlying and engaging the face on the natural hard points of the bone structure of the skull. An elastic strap which has divergent bands cradling the back of the head holds the mask against the face of the wearer.
