Abstract: The nose shield is adapted to be located in and to conform to the lining of the nostril of the nose so as to shield the nasal passage or passages from wind or air currents which bring discomfort to some persons. The nose shield is effective to prevent air containing oxygen required for a person to breathe from entering the nasal passages of the nose. It further is effective to direct such air to the air passage leading to the back of the mouth and throat for breathing purposes thus by-passing the nasal passages and eliminating discomfort caused by air or wind entering the nasal passage. The nose shield comprises a unitary thin wall generally bowl shaped body opened at one end and closed at the other end. The side wall of the body engages the lining of the nostril. The open end faces outwardly of the nostril. In one embodiment, the closed end of the body has a centrally located opening through which air may enter the air passage leading to the back of the mouth.
