Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To couple a facemask to a sports helmet in such a way that most of impact energy from a ball or other approaching force is absorbed. SOLUTION: The shock-absorbing facemask attachment assembly includes a housing attached to the helmet. An insert may be coupled to the facemask and the housing in such a way as to be further pushed into the housing in response to an applied force. Alternatively, one or more springs may be coupled to the facemask and the housing in such a way that the springs are further compressed toward the housing in response to an applied force. As another alternative, a spring assembly may include at least one spring coupled to the helmet and the housing, and at least one spring coupled to the facemask and the housing.
