First Claim:
Show all 5 claims |
I claim:
1. A head and face shield comprising,
- a curved shield configured to extend (1) vertically from about the forehead of a wearer to below the wearer's chin and (2) horizontally in a curve around the wearer's face from about the forward edge of one ear to the other ear, said shield being impervious to liquids, whereby an object traveling in a straight line toward the face of the wearer must penetrate the shield before it strikes the face,
- means for holding the shield out of contact with the wearer's face,
- a cap for covering the top of the wearer's head above the wearer's ears, said cap comprising a flexible and fluid impervious material which is generally configured in the shape of a dome which is open at the bottom edge,
- a portion of the bottom edge of said cap being connected to the upper portion of said shield, said connection being fluid impervious whereby fluid draining from the exterior of the dome of the cap onto the shield will pass from the dome to the exterior surface of the shield,
- a portion of the bottom edge of the cap being elastomeric to allow flexibility of the cap during donning and removal of the shield and to flexibly hold the shield in place when it is on the wearer's head,
- the means for holding the shield out of contact with the wearer's face comprises a substantially rigid hat suitable for resting on the head of a wearer,
- said hat having a generally upwardly extending dome-shape with a lower edge, the bottom edge of the cap extending below the lower edge of the hat completely about its periphery to allow the elastomeric portion of the cap to contract inwardly below the lower edge of the hat.
