Face protection grill including at least one wire

Abstract

A face protection grill includes at least one wire with a shadow surface and a reflection surface. The surfaces are positioned relative to the user's eyes when the face protection grill is in a usage position in front of the user's face. The reflection surface has a surface part wherefrom a light source above the head of the user directly coming light beam is able to reflect directly to the field of vision of the user and to cause dazzle to the user, in the connection area of the mentioned shadow and reflection surfaces situated rounding or bevelling forming an area the width of which or the straightened width is max 0.75 mm, or there is a sharp edge in the connection point of the shadow area and the reflection area.

1 . A face protection grill including at least one wire which wire comprises a non-circular cross-section having a shadow surface and a reflection surface and which the shadow surface and reflection surface are in a certain position in relation to the eyes of the face protection grill user when the face protection grill has been placed in usage position in front of its user's face; and the head of the user is essentially in an upright position,
 wherein the reflection surface extends in a longitudinal direction, and   a corner surface of the at least one wire between the shadow surface and the reflection surface comprises a connection point area of the shadow surface and the reflection surface.   
     
     
         2 . A face protection grill according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection point area is a rounded or bevelled area, and a width of which or the straightened width of which is a maximum 0.75 mm. 
     
     
         3 . A face protection grill according to  claim 1 , wherein, the straightened width (w) of the rounding or the bevelling of the connection point of the shadow surface (a) and the reflection surface (b) is maximum 0.5 mm. 
     
     
         4 . A face protection grill according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection point area comprises a sharp edge. 
     
     
         5 . A face protection grill according to  claim 1 , wherein a direction of the wire is horizontal, vertical, diagonal or some combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . A face protection grill according to  claim 1 , wherein a profile of the wire is substantially triangular with rounded corners. 
     
     
         7 . A face protection grill according to  claim 1 , wherein an end of the wire closest to the face of the user is wider than an end of the wire away from the face of the user. 
     
     
         8 . A face protection grill according to  claim 1 , comprising a connection to a helmet. 
     
     
         9 . A face protection grill, comprising:
 one or more wires arranged in an intersecting pattern, wherein one or more of the wires have a non-circular cross-section, the one or more wires comprising:   a shadow surface;   a reflecting surface;   a first side of the wire and a second side of the wire being formed by the shadow surface and a third side of the wire being formed by the reflecting surface;   an intersection of the first side of the wire and the second side of the wire forming a tip that is substantially rounded and substantially opposite to the third side of the wire.   
     
     
         10 . The face protection grill of  claim 9 , wherein the non-circular cross-section is a substantially triangular form, and wherein the third side of the wire forms a base of the triangular form. 
     
     
         11 . The face protection grill of  claim 9 , wherein an intersection of the first side and the third side and an intersection of the second side and the third side form connection points. 
     
     
         12 . The face protection grill of  claim 9 , where the connection points are rounded or bevelled areas. 
     
     
         13 . The face protection grill of  claim 9 , wherein the intersecting pattern comprises an arrangement of substantially horizontally and substantially vertically oriented wires. 
     
     
         14 . The face protection grill of any of the preceding  claims 9 - 13 , wherein the third side is oriented towards a face of a user. 
     
     
         15 . A face protection grill for a face of a user, comprising:
 a plurality of wires arranged in an intersecting pattern;   wherein a wire from the plurality of wires comprises:
 a three-sided profile including a base and two sides, the two sides extending away from the base to form a tip end; 
 the base of the profile being disposed closer to the face of the user and the tip end being disposed away from the face of the user; 
 the two sides of the profile form a shadow surface and the base forms a reflection surface; and 
   wherein a width of the base is wider that a width of the tip end.
