Description
This 3D Flat Brimmed Face Shield has both the pegs to accept 3 hole punch sheets, a custom slit to tuck in the end of the sheet, and a flat brim to provide full coverage at the top.
This was created by incorporating the best concepts from the DtM v3.1 and IC3D Budmen designs.
The key features are below:
- Flat brim to allow for full coverage at the top, preventing droplets from falling through the forehead area
- Sufficient spacing away from face to accomodate goggles, allow for personal comfort
- Uses hook system to attach elastic (can use a rubber band, buttonhole elastic, etc)
- 3 pegs for standard 3 hole punch attachment
- Built in slit to tuck in shield to keep curvature throughout the shield without the use of a bottom piece
- Allows for foam cushion to be adhered onto the forehead band
- Design can be worn either way (there is no difference between up and down)
Instructions for Assembly
- Punch holes in standard US letter-sized transparency (8.5x11 in) with a standard US three-hole-punch.
- Attach transparency to headband on the three mounting pegs.
- Slit the excess transparency into the slits.
- Attach elastic to headband with cleats near temples, adjust to fit.
This has been used in clincal settings such as:
Harbor-UCLA
Kaiser Permanente (various Southern California locations)
VA hospital in Los Angeles
