Abstract: The present technology provides a mask that is affixable to a helmet. The mask is affixable over the lower face covering of a conventional helmet, such as a football helmet. The mask has straps, hooks, orifices, or other attachment components to allow the mask to be secured via one or more existing clips, snaps, or other connection points on the helmet. Alternatively, the mask is affixable via a connection technology such as a hook-and-loop fastener, an adhesive, a clip, or other fastening technology. The mask prevents a substantial portion of the biological material being expelled or inhaled from the person wearing the helmet or other competitors from passing through the mask and contacting another participant.

Abstract: A rocker panel assembly for attachment to a vehicle, comprising a rocker panel body, a first end feature situated on a first end of the rocker panel body, and a second end feature situated on a second end of the rocker panel body. The rocked panel body has an outside surface generally presented in the form of a convex surface, and an inside surface generally presented in the form of a concave surface. The outside surface of the rocker panel body extends outwardly of the vehicle, to present an outboard section having a predetermined profile based on targeted aesthetic/performance characteristics. The inside surface of the rocker panel body has at least one transverse rib positioned therein, the transverse rib being arranged generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rocker panel body.
