Description

Fencing ventilation.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a mask of the type used in the sport of fencing.

The object of the invention is to provide a mask equipped with a ventilation system that allows reducing the fatigue of the mask user due to the heat caused by the use Of the same.

The invention thus falls within the scope of the Accessories used in the sport of fencing.

Background of the invention

As is known, in the sport of fencing In addition to the protective suit, glove, saber, foil or sword, it they use masks in order to protect the fencer's face against the actions of the opponent.

These types of masks, thanks to their own purpose, they present a structuring that makes them some heat is passed, heat that is greatly enhanced during warm seasons, which has a negative impact on the fatigue and discomfort of the fencer, to such an extent that in some occasions, due to the ambient temperature, the own Sports practice becomes very difficult.

Description of the invention

Fencing mask than the invention proposes to solve the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, thanks to the incorporation of a system of internal ventilation that significantly reduces the fatigue of the user due to the heat provided by carrying said mask.

To do this, and more specifically, starting from the conventional structuring of these types of masks, the invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that on the supero-anterior area of the mask, in correspondence with the front grille, a small is established electric fan, which does not interfere with the physiognomy of the fencer, given the special configuration of this type of masks, fan that is fixed by any appropriate means to said grid, and whose power cables are connect, through the corresponding conduction, to a battery established on the back of the mask, on a cover fixed to the mask, battery assisted by the corresponding fan on / off switch.

Thus, by actuating the corresponding switch, said fan will be set to operate automatically, blowing a stream of fresh air on the fencer's face, reducing the heat caused by said mask, and consequently reducing its fatigue.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows an elevation view side of a fencing mask made according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows an elevation view front of the mask of the previous figure.

Figure 3.- Shows an elevation view rear of the device of the previous figures.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the mask that is recommended part of the structure conventional of any fencing mask in which they participate a front grille (1), which is fixed to the rest of the mask through of a perimeter ring (2), said mask also having a choker (3) for protection of the neck area.

Well, from this structuring conventional, the mask of the invention centers its characteristics in the fact that on the upper area of the grid (1), e internally to it, a helical fan is established flat (4), fixing that will preferably be removable, for facilitate maintenance / replacement tasks fan, for which the incorporation of strips is planned Velcro® type adhesives (5), fixed respectively on the face inside the front grille (1) and on the base of the fan.

Inside and longitudinally to the mask is establishes a narrow conduction (6), through which they are through the fan supply cables (7) (4), settling on the back of the mask a cover of protection (8), of formally and dimensionally plastic material suitable for housing batteries or accumulators electric (9) intended to power the fan electrically (4) through the cables (7).

The said protective case (8) of the batteries (9) will be conveniently fixed to the edge postero-superior of the mask through the corresponding appendix thereof, through which they will be through the cables (7).

Finally, it is worth mentioning that among those mentioned Power cords (7) and battery (8) will establish a switch (10) for starting / stopping the fan (4).

As previously mentioned, the special configuration of the front grille (1), which in mounting arrangement of the mask is substantially separated from the user's face, allows the implantation of said fan (4) without constituting an obstacle or element that interferes with the physiognomy of the fencer, allowing to generate a current of air that refreshes the face of said fencer, reducing his fatigue.

Claims (4)

1. Fencing mask, which based on the conventional structuring of the fencing masks, in which a front grille and a choker participates, is characterized in that an electric fan is established in the antero-upper area of the aforementioned front grille, powered at the expense of an electric battery / accumulator, arranged on a cover or enclosure established in the rear area of the mask. 2. Fencing mask according to claim 1, characterized in that the electric fan is of the flat helical type. 3. Fencing mask according to claim 1, characterized in that the electric fan is assisted by an on / off switch located next to the battery. 4. Fencing mask according to claim 1, characterized in that the electric fan is fixed to the front grille by Velcro® type adhesive strips.
