Face Shield Mask

Abstract

The face shield mask can comprise of a mask sheet that covers the front part of the head, a support structure which holds the mask sheet in place on the front part of the head, and a nose rest. The face shield mask sheet may be made from transparent material alone, like a UVA/UVB or Polarized sheet, or in combination with nontransparent material in the area not obscuring vision, like stickers or paint. The support structure holds the face shield mask in front of the face. The nose rest provides additional support for the face shield mask. The face shield mask covers the wearer's face from harmful sun or wind exposure or public view.
