ABSTRACT:
A light-weight, disposable face shield assembly for the protection of the eyes and face of a wearer from accidental exposure to infections, hazardous or undesirable substances. The shield assembly includes an elongated, generally rectangular, semi-flexible, transparent face protection panel having a central panel section and like side panel sections which are foldable rearwardly with respect to the central panel section and a semi-flexible head support strip for the face protection panel in alignment with the upper portion of such panel. The head support strip has its ends affixed to the ends of the face protection panel and is of a length that is less than the length of such panel. The head support strip also includes a central strip portion and like side strip portions which are foldable rearwardly with respect to the central strip portion with the fold lines of the head support strip lying within the fold lines of the face protection panel. An elastic head band is affixed to the ends of the head support strip for maintaining such strip in position about the forehead of a wearer of the face shield assembly whereby the face protection panel is formed up into rigidly-supported, arcuate spaced protection orientation about the face of a wearer.
