Abstract
Electrically conductive apparatus obviates the need for a traditional fencing “Mask Cord” while still permitting a satisfactorily resilient connection between a conventional electric fencing Mask and a target vest/jacket (“Lame”), and offers many advantages including “effortless” connectivity and positioning—in a preferred embodiment, situated between a conventional fencing Mask Bib and Lame—whereby enhanced safety is achieved during play by making the Mask even harder to tip upwards, thereby reducing the chances for injury due to neck exposure.
Claims6
Apparatus for electrically connecting a fencing mask to an electrical fencing jacket (“lame”) in the sport of fencing comprising:
- material;
- means for said material to permit the consistent passage of electrical current;
- means for securing said material between a fencing mask and a lame so that during play, the material does not accidentally or deliberately lose contact with either said fencing mask or said lame which would thereby disrupt said electrical current.
Apparatus for electrically connecting a fencing mask to an electrical fencing jacket (“lame”) in the sport of fencing comprising:
- material;
- means for said material to permit the consistent passage of electrical current;
- means for securing said material between a fencing mask and a lame so that during play, the material does not accidentally or deliberately lose contact with either said fencing mask or said lame which would thereby disrupt said electrical current;
- the substantial concealment of said material by said mask so that an opponent's weapon-strike cannot disengage it from either said fencing mask or said lame.
