ABSTRACT:
A transparent plastic face shield assembly for a fire fighter's helmet is disclosed which employs a thermally reflective applique on each of the end sections of a face shield near its points of pivotal attachment to opposite sides of the helmet. The appliques essentially cover the outer facing surfaces of the face shield end sections and contain a channel along lower edges thereof in which lower edge portions of the end sections are disposed in close fitting relation to prevent lower edges of the end sections from deforming when exposed to high temperature conditions. The appliques should be constructed of highly heat reflective aluminum alloy such as aluminum foil or sheet. The appliques are attached to the face shield end sections by a high temperature resistant adhesive.
