Abstract
A padded facemask shield assembly is provided for a protective helmet having a facemask with an inboard surface and an outboard surface. The padded facemask shield assembly has a frame, including an elastic frame, at least one resilient pad connected to the frame, and a coupler connected to at least one of the frame and the at least one resilient pad, wherein the coupler is configured to releasably engage the facemask and locate the frame and the at least one resilient pad on the outboard surface of the facemask.
Claims22
A shock-absorbing padded facemask shield assembly for a protective helmet having a facemask, the shock-absorbing padded facemask shield assembly comprising:
- (a) a frame including an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface of the frame is a continuous layer;
- (b) a padded structure connected to the outer surface of the frame, wherein the padded structure is configured to conform to a curvature of a facemask, wherein the padded structure extends away from the inner surface of the frame;
- and
- (c) at least one coupler connected to at least one of the frame and the padded structure, the at least one coupler configured to releasably engage the facemask and locate the inner surface of the frame on an outboard surface of the facemask, wherein the outboard surface of the facemask extends away from an interior of a corresponding helmet;
- and wherein both the inner surface of the frame and the padded structure cover a majority of a surface area of the outboard surface of the facemask.
A padded facemask shield assembly for a protective helmet having a facemask, the padded facemask shield assembly comprising:
- (a) a main body having a front surface and a rear surface, the rear surface configured to contact an outboard surface of a facemask, wherein the outboard surface of a facemask extends away from an interior of a corresponding helmet, wherein the facemask includes at least one bar, wherein the rear surface is a continuous layer, wherein the main body further includes a padded structure;
- and
- (b) a coupler connected to the main body, the coupler configured to releasably engage the facemask and retain the main body on the outboard surface of the facemask, wherein the main body is configured to conform to a curvature of the outboard surface.
