Described herein is a multi-mask equipment (100) that includes a mask assembly M configured to accommodate a filter assembly C, D and to mount a face protective shield H. The equipment enables a filter-based mask and shield can be used together as one integrated unit, and at the same time is future ready with more options to mount or use various other accessories, like oxygen inlet/outlet, electronic equipment etc. The multi-mask equipment 100 can be mounted over the head of a wearer by means of headbands as mounting mechanism F(LHS and RHS) and straps as adjusting mechanism A3. The equipment ensures that the overall cost of the mask and face protective shield assembly is substantially low as the equipment requires bare minimum recurring cost.

A mask assembly comprising a face covering portion, a pocket connected to the face portion and positioned to cover a wearer’s nose and mouth, where in a filter is removably inserted into the pocket, the filter comprising a porous hydrophobic and lipophobic layer, a diamond - like carbon coated copper layer, and a non- woven fabric layer. A filter containing at least one porous hydrophobic and lipophobic layer, at least one diamond like carbon coated copper layer interposed between two non-woven fabric layers, and at least one additional non- woven fabric layer. A filter comprising at least one porous hydrophobic and lipophobic layer, at least one diamond - like carbon coated copper layer, and at least one non - woven fabric layer, the at least diamond-like carbon coated layer is between the at least one porous hydrophobic and lipophobic layer and at least one non - woven fabric layer.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a multifunctional face mask system adapted to receive a nebulizer system, enabling a user to be treated by a nebulizer medication, while simultaneously providing a hygienic barrier between the user and their external environment via at least one filter component. The present invention further provides a multifunctional face mask system that is self-supporting, thereby enabling a user to wear the mask system in a portable manner. The present invention, in other embodiments, includes the bonding between at least one filter component and its corresponding filter window, to be produced by a selective mold behind injection molding process.

A method and apparatus for assisting in the removal of foreign particles from the airways and nasal debris from the nostrils of a user are described. The device can be used to prevent the spread of disease or may be used as a safety device to assist in the removal of contaminants or other foreign materials that might be encountered by a user.

A mask is provided. The mask according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first fabric forming an externally exposed surface; a second fabric disposed on one surface of the first fabric to be in close contact with a part of the wearer's face and including a first fiber including a silver wire; and ear bands provided on the opposite ends of the first fabric. Accordingly, the mask including the silver wire can fundamentally prevent the, generation of bacteria by a user's saliva and re-inhalation of proliferated bacteria and has excellent antibacterial performance. In addition, the mask provided with a ply yarn including a silver wire and a general-purpose fiber has excellent washing durability and elasticity and can have the effect of maintaining antibacterial performance and washing durability even when the silver wire included in the mask is broken.

Introduced here is a self-contained face mask system with an automated liquid-droplet dispensing mechanism (ADM) for humidification. The enclosure of the self-contained mask system can be comprised of one or more layers of breathable fabric adapted to flexibly conform to the face of a user when worn to form a cavity that is adjacent the nostrils and mouth. The ADM of the face mask system can be comprised of a reservoir in which liquid is stored, a respiratory cycle detector, a timer and controller, and a droplet dispenser that controllably dispenses droplets of the liquid from the reservoir into the cavity for inhalation by the user. The ADM can be contained entirely within the face mask enclosure or supported on the surface of the face mask enclosure such that the self-contained mask system, when worn by a user, can be supported entirely by the head and neck of the user.

A passenger oxygen mask for use in an aircraft comprises a face piece defining a breathing space and having a proximal end, which is to be placed on the face of a user, and an opposite distal end; and a valve plate arranged at the distal end of the face piece. The valve plate is equipped with an oxygen port for an inflow of oxygen from an oxygen source into the breathing space; and an inlet valve for an inflow of ambient air into the breathing space. The valve plate has an elongated shape, having a longitudinal dimension in a longitudinal direction (L) and a transverse dimension, which is smaller than the longitudinal dimension, in a transverse direction (T).

This invention is a smart face mask for air filtration with a transparent mouth-covering portion, an active air filtration system which filters both air inflow and air outflow, an environmental or biometric sensor, and a smart control mechanism wherein the operation of the active air filtration system is automatically adjusted based on analysis of data from the sensor.

A mouth protection device for a respiratory protection system, in particular a blower respiratory protection system, includes at least one mask base body which is configured to cover a mouth and/or nose region of a user and which delimits a breathing zone at least partially, and includes at least one breathing air supply line, which is connected to the mask base body and delimits at least one breathing air channel that ends in the breathing zone and is configured for guiding an active breathing air flow, wherein the mask base body is made at least largely of a flexurally soft material, the mask base body being made at least largely of a textile material.

A face mask including a base model of a mask body having a front side and a back side and defining an interior. The back side includes a face opening within which a portion of a user face including a nose and mouth can be inserted and encompassed. The face opening is defined by a perimeter and is modified to substantially correspond to contours of the user face based on scan of topographical facial features of the user face.
