The first person to design a bar face mask on a helmet was a sporting goods shop owner named Vernon McMillen in the mid 1930s. It was a rubber covered wire mask that was used with the leather helmets of the day. The sporting goods company Riddell designed the first plastic face mask in 1940 to be used with a plastic helmet that they also designed.

What elements are in a helmet?

I play football so I know about football helmets. They are hard on the out side and soft in the inside. There are pads lined in the helmet. Some brands of helmets have an air tank that you fill with air to make it tighter. There is also the face mask that protects the face, a chin strap that holds the helmet on, and a mouth guard to reduce concussions and protect your teeth.

Is a helmet like a mask?

A helmet and a mask are similar, except that a helmet covers all of the head where a mask only covers the front (i.e. the face, jaw and the forwrad part of the hair). A mask may also be purely for decoration, such as a party mask or as part of a costume, while a helmet is often intended to provide real protection if struck, such as a hockey goalkeeper's or a motorbike rider's.
