The guard of claim 1 wherein said securing means comprises a first strap secured to the arms and extending around the wearer's head, and a second strap secured to said lower edge adjacent to either arm before the ears, said second strap extending downwardly and around the back of the wearer's neck.
The particular spacing of the guard from various points on the wearer's face is an important feature of the invention, as it constitutes the means by which blows to the face are directed away from the nose.
The distance between the nose and the front of the protrusion may vary along the length of the nose, but the distance between portions 24 and the cheekbones is always less than the minimum distance between the wearer's nose and the front of the protrusion.
