| Abstract: |
A protective headgear for boxing and other activities involving direct violence to the head is provided which protects the eyes from direct contact of the padded thumbs and the impacts of blows. The headgear will also provide protection from serious lacerations in critical areas above and around the eyes. The headgear has a multi-layer padded band which extends across the face to cover the upper and lower perimeters of the orbits and the nasal bone. The headgear is fabricated to provide a custom fit by applying component layers to a plaster cast of the face so as to achieve a configuration which will not shift and will afford maximum protection.
