ABSTRACT:
This invention is a protective helmet with releasable face guard apparatus that resembles a football helmet having considerable shock absorbing thickness and a face shield member that is releasably connected to the helmet. More particularly, the protective helmet with releasable face guard apparatus includes a basic helmet assembly with a face guard assembly connected thereto. The basic helmet assembly includes a main helmet body with an outer cover layer thereon. The main helmet body is constructed of a rigid foam shock absorbing material of substantial thickness such as two inches. The face guard assembly includes the face shield member mounted in a resilient connector assembly which is connected to the main helmet body. The resilient connector assembly acts as a shock absorber when the face shield member is pushed inwardly. Conversely, when the face shield member is grasped and pulled outwardly under sufficient force, the face shield member is released from the resilient connector assembly and main helmet body to prevent injury to the wearer thereof.
