Accessories are provided including jewelry and apparel. In particular, a fabric accessory for at least a neck region of a user includes a textile element configured to at least partially cover the neck region of the user, the textile element having a first width at a first height and a second width at a second height, a filter portion disposed within the textile element and configured to receive a filter for filtering respiratory air, and at least one fastener configured to fasten the textile element to a facial region of the user such that the filter portion at least partially covers a mouth and nose region of the user. The fabric accessory may have a variety of configurations including as fashion apparel, for example, a scarf or necktie.

A face mask for filtering air has a mask body for extending over a nose and mouth area of a user. The mask body and integrally joined supporting straps are formed of an elastomeric material that is unitary in structure so as to be continuous and seamless throughout. The elastomeric material has physical properties that provide shape retention and elasticity such that the peripheral edge of the mask conforms and seals to a face of the user while the mask spans over the nose and mouth area of the user. A disposable filter cartridge is releasable mounted within a filter opening in the mask body. Upon removal of the filter cartridge, the remaining mask body and straps are devoid of any crevices inaccessible to a finger whereby all surfaces of the mask body are accessible for wiping with the finger. An optional sterilization case receives the mask therein for sterilization.

Face coverings that protect the facial T-Zone region (i.e., eyes, nose, and mouth) from airborne transmission of infectious and other harmful particles are disclosed. The face coverings disclosed herein are designed to attach to the temples, frames, and/or the bridge of eyewear, which provides protection for the eyes of the wearer and dispenses of the need to adjust straps traditionally found on face masks. The face coverings may be converted to different configurations depending on the amount of protection and comfort desired by the wearer. For example, the face coverings disclosed herein can convert from a free-hanging position to a more protective configuration in which the mask conforms closely to the face of the wearer.

A respirator mask includes a face piece configured for contacting at least a portion of a face of a user, a head harness for attaching the respirator mask to a head of the user, at least one opening on the face piece, and at least one filter associated with the opening on the face piece. The at least one filter is configured to facilitate a passage of ambient air to an interior of the face piece in a first direction. The at least one filter is further configured to facilitate a passage of air exhaled by the user wearing the respirator mask in a second direction opposite the first direction from the interior of the face piece to the ambient air and reduce a passage of aerosolized particulate matter exhaled by the user in the second direction.

A facial mask for protection from airborne contagions utilizing ultraviolet light as well as mechanical filtration.

Disclosed herein is a molecular imprinted protective face mask comprising a supportive structure, a surface material that receives and retains a molecular imprint and that is positioned to contact airborne molecules during use, a molecular imprint of a bioactive molecule wherein an imprinted cavity is at least one of a bioactive molecule with a molecular configuration that captures a specific airborne and/or microdroplet-borne molecule and a protein with a binding site that captures a specific molecule.

A breathing mask having an elongated body having inhalation and exhalation compartments, each of which having openings and valve members over the openings and filters, and a hood assembly having a hood cover, made of a fabric to cover the top, nape and sides of a wearer's head, a transparent face shield connected to the hood cover, which has an upper portion of sight and a lower portion for breathing; the breathing mask is inserted into a hole inside the face shield and secured to it by means of a seal.

The Dual Clappet Mask is to protect people from inhaling harmful air around them. They inhale and exhale by the same mouth nipple connected to a dual clappet, and the two clappets are open/close automatically to fulfill the respiring.

Unlike filtering the inside air, the Dual Clappet Mask uses outside clean air via a soft tube, and in this way it would protect people very well from a small toxic, dusty and anoxic environment.

A facial mask completely seals a part of the face over which the facial mask is secured by an adhesive around a periphery of the facial mask. The facial mask may cover the mouth or both the mouth and nose of a user. The facial mask may have a filter.
