The original sports face shield for DIY functioned as a sports face shield suitable for marathons by simply fitting it into the various caps without using mounting parts. Further improvements were made and redesigned as “Fukuroi Special Sports Face Shield” to meet the demands of the Fukuroi Crown Melon Marathon. By distributing this participation prize to 2,000 people, it was a great opportunity to lead the tournament to the event without canceling it. (Patent Pending 2020--115898)
