Face shield/mask Explanation: This may not be at all related, it's hard to tell without some context from the document. But, literally, careta is a face shield or mask and is used in things like careta de soldador/welding mask. (Louis A. Robb, Engineer's Dictionary) I hope this is helpful using the context of your document. |

Bra or invisible bra Explanation: La verdad,no hay mucho contexto pero en los EEUU -sobre todo en Colorado, donde están las Rocallosas, que no en vano se llaman así porque hay rocas a diestra y siniestra- les ponen a los autos lo que llaman "bra" o "invisible bra" que es como un antifaz que deja ver sólo los faros delanteros y llega como hasta la mitad del capot. Se utiliza para que las rocas que levantan otros autos en los caminos y autopistas no dañen el frente de los autos. Me imagino que la careta puede ser como le dicen en Venezuela a este "bra". EQTS!
