FACE GUARD

摘要

A face guard 10 configured for protecting the face F of a baseball player P from a baseball B when the guard 10 is donned by the player P is disclosed. The face guard 10 broadly includes an open framework 12 compressible padding 14 connected to the framework 12, and a strap assembly 16 coupled to the framework 12. The framework 12 is configured to prevent a baseball B from contacting the face F of the player P when the guard 10 is donned by the player P without restricting the player's generally horizontal line of sight. The compressible padding 14 is configured to contact the player P and thereby space the framework 12 from the face F when the guard 10 is donned. The strap assembly 16 is configured to both position and retain the framework 12 on the face F of the player P when the guard 10 is donned.
