CONNECTEUR DE PROTECTION DU VISAGE À ABSORPTION DE CHOCS POUR CASQUE DE SPORT

摘要

A shock-absorbing face guard connector (10) for an athletic helmet such as a helmet worn in American football, ice hockey, cricket, and baseball and softball, among other possible applications. The shock-absorbing face guard connector couples a face guard to the athletic helmet, and can absorb some of the forces resulting from a strike or impact to the face guard amid play and at other times. The shock-absorbing face guard connector includes a compressible piece (14) that can compressibly yield when the face guard is struck or otherwise impacted.
