SHOCK ABSORBING PROTECTIVE MASK
The shock absorbing protective mask of the present invention comprises a cap body, a grid frame, at least one cushion shock absorber, and at least one pivot member. The cap body has a receiving space and a front opening, connected to each other. The grid frame is assembled on the cap body and covers the front opening. The cushion shock absorber has a body and a piston rod. The body is combined with the cap body. The piston rod is slidably attached to the body and slides relative to the body. The pivot member has a first member and a second member, pivotally connected to each other, the first member is connected to the grid frame. The second member is connected to the piston rod. Thereby, the shock absorbing protective mask indeed achieves the purpose of improving the shock absorbing effect in order to avoid injuries to the user.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a shock absorbing protective mask, especially related to a shock absorbing protective mask which has improved shock absorbing effect to avoid injuries to the user.
2. Background
Protective masks in general sports, such as head protective masks for baseball catchers or football players, mainly comprise a cap body and a grid frame, wherein the grid frame is, for example, an iron grid fame and fixed on the cap body.
The conventional protective masks have the function of protecting the head and the face of athletes from being directly impacted by external forces. However, because the grid frame is directly fixed to the cap body, the majority of the impact strength received by the grid frame would be directly passed to the head or the face of the athletes, causing injury to athletes due to excessive impact strength when subjected to external impact.
In response to the above problems, a protective mask utilizing a cushion shock absorber has been developed to reduce the impact strength and to protect athletes from injury. However, the aforementioned conventional shock absorbing protective masks still have their shortcomings.
Please refer to
However, the grid frame 92 would be deformed when the external force impacted on the protective mask 9 is too strong. The cushion shock absorber 8 is unable to fully provide cushion shock absorbing effects, and it is possible that the athletes may be injured because the impact force is too strong.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe shock absorbing protective mask of the present invention comprises a cap body, a grid frame, at least one cushion shock absorber, and at least one pivot member. Wherein, the Cap body has a receiving space and a front opening, connected to each other. The grid frame is assembled on the cap body and covers the front opening. The at least one cushion shock absorber has a body and a piston rod, the body is combined with the cap body, and the piston rod is slidably attached to the body and slides relative to the body. The at least one pivot member has a first member and a second member, pivotally connected to each other, the first member is connected and fixed to the grid frame, and the second member is connected and fixed to the piston rod.
With the above structural design, the shock absorbing protective mask of the present invention can indeed achieve the purpose of improving the shock absorbing effect in order to avoid injuries to the user.
The body and the cap body are integrally formed
The body is screwed on and combined with the cap body with at least one screw.
The at least one cushion shock absorber is a spring cushion shock absorber and has a spring, and the spring is circularly mounted on the piston rod and pushes against the piston rod and the body.
The at least one cushion shock absorber has a threaded sleeve and a nut, the threaded sleeve pushes against the spring and is screwed to the body, and the nut is screwed to the threaded sleeve.
The nut is a manual nut.
The second member is screwed to the piston rod.
The cap body has an upper fixing flange and a lower fixing flange, and the grid frame pushes against the upper fixing flange and the lower fixing flange and is assembled to the cap body.
The at least one cushion shock absorber is a hydraulic cushion shock absorber.
The at least one cushion shock absorber is a pneumatic cushion shock absorber.
