Shock-absorbent junction apparatus and facemask system

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a shock-absorbent junction between. the facemask and the helmet of a user, thus minimizing the likelihood of neck and cranial injury by maximizing impact energy absorption. The shock-absorbent junction including a first plate, a resilient material, and a second plate. Due to the possible geometrical symmetry of this embodiment, it is possible that the facemask be adapted in order to be attached to the first. plate while the helmet would be adapted to the second plate.
