Systems and methods for protecting a user from external contamination with a mask. Exemplary embodiments may include a mask including an open threaded portion couplable to a filter; one or more extrusions on a front of the unibody mask to mount straps to the unibody mask; wherein the mask is made of silicone, and wherein the unibody mask presses against a face such that the unibody mask seals an interior of the unibody mask from an exterior of the unibody mask.

The present application describes a mask, configured to be worn on a face of an individual, that has a porous mask frame made of a polymer, one or more fans positioned on the porous mask frame, a mask covering made of one or more layers of non-woven fabric, an energy source in electrical communication with the one or more fans and positioned on at least one of the mask frame or the mask covering. Alternatively, there one or more fans may be positioned on the masking covering without the aid of the mask frame.

As the human population continues to grow and evolve so are the viruses and bacterium. Our modern world is becoming a more complex and hazardous environment as time moves on. Through technology we must create counter measures to combat this growing threat. One such measure is the creation of the Ultra-V Mask. This mask is state of the art and like none other. My personal protection device treats the air you inhale and exhale with uniquely designed baffled chambers that utilize UVC light as a sterilization method limiting if not eliminating the risk of transmission of harmful microbes to the user or others. As a result The Ultra-V Mask may very well save your life and lives of others.

A facepiece charging device comprising a receptacle system, an electrostatic charging system, and a support structure. The receptacle system is configured to detachably receive and secure a facepiece. The electrostatic charging system is configured to transfer an electrostatic charge to the facepiece when energized. The support structure has a moveable guide system coupled to at least one of the receptacle system or the electrostatic charging system. The moveable guide system has at least an engaged position where the receptacle system is adjacent the electrostatic charging system to electrostatically charge the facepiece and a disengaged position where the receptacle system is spaced from the electrostatic charging system.

A face mask containing a network of conductive activated carbon meso-fibers crosslinked with a crosslinking agent bonded to a insulative polymeric micro-fiber based purification element. The purification element is captured between two ridged porous elements and contacted to the face by a biocompatible flexible polymeric seal. Optionally the front cover attaches to a main frame of the mask through a system of sliding locks that are coupled with bayonet latch mechanisms. The face mask attaches to the head of a wearer through a harness that couples with the sliding locks or alternatively with a biocompatible adhesive.

A face mask for filtering air includes a face seal for providing an airtight flexible seal around the nose and mouth of a user, a support sealably attached to the face seal, wherein the support has an open area that allows for passage of incoming air and outlet valves for expelling exhaled air, a front shell for removably attaching to the support, wherein the front shell has inlet holes for allowing the incoming air to pass through the open area of the support, and a filter for filtering particulate elements from air. The filter is configured to be housed between the front shell and the support. The face seal provides a direct connection between the filter and the user.

An improved stretchable filtration fabric laminate is provided. The laminate includes a first fabric layer and a nanofiber layer. The laminate may be stretched without damaging the laminate. The laminate is thus suitable for incorporation into wearable protective garments, such as protective hoods, balaclavas, scarves, etc. that provide both protection and air filtration to the wearer.

A personal protection suit has a selectively sealable hood (1) for protection against CBRN threats. In one series of embodiments, the hood (1) is separable from a jacket body (5) by a releasable attachment means (11), and has a mask hood seal (2) for sealing with a mask. In one series of embodiments the hood (1A) has a deployable face mask (60) stored within the hood (1A). The hood (1) can be removed without breaking the seal between the mask and mask hood seal (2) to minimise contamination during donning and doffing.

A wearable system for cleaning air according to the present disclosure may include a mask device for wearing on a face of a user to inhale clean air, and an air cleaning means for generating clean air to be supplied to the mask device. The mask device may include a frame formed in a shape of surrounding lips and a nose of the user. One or more of nozzle portion for spraying clean air onto the face of the user may be formed at the frame. The nozzle portion may be connected to the air cleaning means and an air tube. The air cleaning means may be an air cleaner formed in a shape of a neck band to be worn around a neck of the user, or formed in a shape of being capable of wearing around a belt of the user.
