ABSTRACT:
A collapsible protective covering assembly for protecting the head of a bearer includes a collapsible frame, a flexible shield mounted on the frame and a garment collar for attachment of the frame and shield to the garment. The frame includes a front base member, which with the collar as a matching base member, forms a base for the assembly, and also includes a plurality of ribs. Snaps are employed to detachably attach the frame and protective shield to the collar. The front base member has an open configuration with respect to a rib for spreading a front portion of the shield (a face shield) in a protective configuration and a collapsed configuration with respect to the rib for bunching the front portion in a non-protective configuration. Each rib similarly has an open configuration with respect to another rib for spreading a portion of the shield in a protective configuration, and a collapsed configuration for bunching the portion in a collapsed configuration. The frame, including the front base member and the ribs, may be completely collapsed to bunch a number of portions of the shield.
