Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a facial protection for soft-air and the like, of the type specified in the preamble to the first claim.
  • the object of the invention is a facial protection for use in a recreational sport that simulates armed combat with weapons, preferably compressed air weapons, such as those used in soft-air.
  • soft-air differs from other activities based on military simulation because it involves the use of weapons which, by using compressed air, project spherical polymer pellets against the opponent and of specific protections designed to prevent injuries to players.
  • facial protection i.e. a protective mask for the face.
  • a first example of facial protection is composed of glasses consisting of a polymer visor for the eyes and a frame that comes into contact with the face.
  • the player is forced to wear a mask covering the portion of face below the glasses so that the face is fully protected.
  • the mask protects the part of face between the nose and chin and between the jaws and consists of a metal mesh defining the protection and an elastic strap by means of which to constrain the mesh to the head and press it against the face ensuring proper protection.
  • facial protection is full-face and eye masks.
  • These masks are suitable to enclose the head almost totally. They consist of a rigid part made of wire mesh and plastic, which completely covers the face of the player, and a portion in fabric that adheres to the sides and, in some cases, back of the head.
  • a first disadvantage is the fact that the masks, whether partial or full face, prevent resting the weapon and, in particular, the sight close to the eye and, therefore, taking precise aim.
  • both the glasses and the face masks must be placed close up to the eyes and, therefore, do not allow glasses to be worn under them.
  • Another drawback is the lack of breathability of the masks. As a result, especially in summer, the face and forehead sweat abundantly making the facial protection particularly uncomfortable to wear.
  • the technical purpose of the present invention is to devise a facial protection for soft-air and the like able to substantially overcome the drawbacks mentioned.
  • one important aim of the invention is to make a facial protection which does not penalise the aim and hence the accuracy of firing of the player.
  • Another important aim of the invention is to have a face protection for soft-air which is easy to wear even for those who need eyeglasses.
  • a further aim of the invention is to make a facial protection which is comfortable and easy to wear.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of a facial protection for soft-air according to the invention worn on the face
  • Fig. 2 shows a front view of a facial protection for soft-air according to the invention worn on the face
  • Fig. 3 is a view from above of a facial protection for soft-air according to the invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows a side view of a different facial protection for soft-air according to the invention.
  • Fig. 5 is a front view of the facial protection in Fig. 4.
  • the measures, values, shapes and geometric references (such as perpendicularity and parallelism), when used with words like “about” or other similar terms such as “approximately” or “substantially”, are to be understood as except for measurement errors or inaccuracies due to production and/or manufacturing errors and, above all, except for a slight divergence from the value, measure, shape or geometric reference which it is associated with.
  • reference numeral 1 globally denotes the facial protection for soft-air according to the invention.
  • It comprises a front shield 2 and connection means 3 of the shield 2 to a user's face.
  • the front shield 2 consists of a single shell suitable to protect, preferably exclusively, eyes, mouth, nose and the portions joining said organs of the user wearing the protection 1 , leaving the cheekbones and preferably the forehead and/or chin bare.
  • the user is understood to mean a human user with average features and proportions. Different sizes and types of facial protection 1 may obviously be provided for different sizes and/or proportions or preferences of the user.
  • Such width remains substantially constant to below the mouth, near the chin where the shield 2 ends.
  • the shell composing the front shield 2 is preferably a perforated metal sheet, for example in steel, and with a preferably diamond mesh surface, the major diagonal of which is appropriately in the horizontal direction. Despite being a mesh type, it is actually made, as mentioned, of sheet-metal, which can thus be accordingly shaped as desired.
  • the front shield 2 is made of metal and appropriately, in steel, preferably stainless.
  • the front shield 2, seen from above (Fig. 3) has an edge 2b at the sagittal axis 1a and axis of symmetry of the shield; the shield 2 is roughly shaped as an inverted V.
  • the shield 2 is lastly preferably edged with an edge 2a appropriately composed of a folded sheet (metal, polymer) about 1 cm thick and suitable to rest against the face. Said edge 2a instead preferably comprises curves (Fig. 3) also seen from above.
  • edge 2a can be identified in an edging suitably of elastomeric material.
  • the front shield 2 may provide at the mouth a portion 2c folded towards the mouth itself so as to limit the distance from the edge 2a and the mouth, improving the adherence of the facial protection and, in particular, reducing the risk of pellets getting in under the mask.
  • connection means 3 of the shield 2 to the user's face preferably comprise connection means similar to those of glasses and, in particular, to the upper portion of the frame of said glasses.
  • Figs. 1-3 and 5 may thus comprise legs 3a suitable for resting on the ears and to bend around a hinge 3c, and/or a strap suitable to go round the back of the head.
  • the means 3 may comprise both the legs 3a and the strap.
  • the legs 3a may be made from polymer, specifically from synthetic polyamide in detail and, more specifically, from aliphatic polyamides such as nylon. They may also comprise a bridge 3b for the support on the nose.
  • the bridge 3b may be made from polymer, specifically from synthetic polyamide in detail and, more specifically, from aliphatic polyamides such as nylon.
  • the bridge 3b is in elastomeric material.
  • the bridge 3b and the edge 2a are in elastomeric material and, more appropriately made in one piece.
  • the face protection 1 for soft-air may comprise a support for lenses; and, appropriately, one or more lenses and, in particular, two lenses which can be ' constrained to the support.
  • That at least one lens may be of the corrective type suitable to correct visual/optical eye defects and/or solar to protect the eye from excessive glare improving the quality of vision.
  • Such support is substantially similar to the "front" of the glasses, i.e. the part of the glasses which the lenses are permanently attached to.
  • front shield 2 It is constrained to the front shield 2 at the inner surface, i.e. facing the user's face, so as to position the lenses between the front shield 2 and the eyes/face.
  • the support is constrained to the front shield 2 in a detachable manner by means of clips or other means of attachment suitable to allow the removal of the support.
  • the support is constrained to the front shield 2 in a non-detachable manner.
  • Said facial protection 1 for soft-air is worn like a pair of glasses and protects important portions of the face in a single object.
  • the invention achieves some important advantages.
  • the facial protection 1 allows a free view but at the same time, protects the eyes, nose and mouth from the bullets and is quick and easy to put on.
  • the facial protection 1 makes it possible to rest weapons on the cheekbones and aim correctly.
  • Another advantage is the fact that the facial protection 1 , being almost entirely made of non-perishable material, has high durability and wear resistance.
