Benefits of technology
The present invention is a face shield device that is designed to cover the whole human face. It is made of a lightweight, flexible, and waterproof transparent material. A headband is used to secure the device to the user's head, and a foam member is placed on the top inside of the face shield to attach it to the user's forehead. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and effective way to protect the face from various environmental factors such as sun, wind, and dust.
Problems solved by technology
Although this requirement helps to reduce the spread of contagions, there are increasing numbers of complaints by workers that such a requirement interferes with other requirements pertaining to different types of safety devices that must be worn while performing certain activities.
Moreover, wearing such glasses beneath the face shield is uncomfortable as the distal end of the glasses engages the inside surface of the face shield which leads the user to constantly adjust one or both of the devices.
