The nose mask is intended to be used during an airborne pandemic. The nose mask is a single triangle/cone shape that covers only the nose, that comes with two ear elastic bands or a single head elastic band for support. The nose mask is designed to be disposable with a filter for better protection and to minimize the passage of aerosols, fluids and airborne pathogen agents or to be made with washable material allowing users to re-use it.

A mask includes a body, a length adjustment member and a self-adaptive member. The body has an upper edge. The length adjustment member and the self-adaptive member are provided at the upper edge of the body. The self-adaptive member is provided at an inner side of the length adjustment member. The length adjustment member is bendable along a curve of a face and is able to act on the self-adaptive member, such that the self-adaptive member is deformed by force and adapted to the curve of the face to fit on the face.

The invention relates to a wearable safety item, for use in emergency situations and wearable by a person, including a substantially planar body adaptable to worn by the person in the first state and be able to be opened up in the second state. Also one or more pockets are included, associated with the body adapted to hold useful items for the emergency situation. The body includes instructions useful in an emergency situation when opened up in the second state, and in first state the wearable safety item is comfortably worn, including the item in the pocket. The invention also includes variations thereon, and methods of use.

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 headwear article that converts between a headwear configuration and a mask configuration. The headwear article has a crown for covering at least a portion of a head of a wearer, a visor attached to a front portion of the crown, and at least one mask support element coupled to the crown. From the headwear configuration, at least a portion of the rear portion of the crown is collapsible into the front portion of the crown to position the headwear in the mask configuration. In the mask configuration, the at least one mask support element is configured to secure the headwear over a portion of a face of the wearer.

A face-gaiter mask (10; 100) includes a top seal (14; 100B), a front filter section (10A; 100A), a rear section (100D) and a neck seal (10B; 100C). In use, the front filter section (10A, 100A) is located to the front of the user's face and is configured to cover at least the user's nostrils and the user's mouth. The front filter section (10A, 100A) includes at least two fabric layers (10; 120, 120A, 120B), wherein the at least two fabric layers are configured to provide a predetermined level of filtration and resistance to airflow through the filter section (10A; 100A). The top seal (14; 100B) includes a nose detail (12), which extends from an upper edge of the front filter section (10B; 100B) and extends at least partway into the front filter section (10B; 10 100B). The neck seal (10B; 100C) includes draping fabric, which extends from the front filter section (10B; 100B), the top seal (14; 100B) and a lower edge (17; 23; 117; 123) of the neck seal (10B; 100C). The front section fabric drapes loosely in random folds, which in use provide a fluid configuration and fluid surface area upon which exhaled aerosols and particles can be trapped.

A mask is described comprising a mask body for covering the nose and mouth of a wearer, and a cushion for sealing against the wearer's face. The cushion depends inwardly from the periphery of the mask body. The mask body and the cushion are formed of an elastomeric material, and the mask body is shaped such that, when the mask is worn by the wearer, the mask body flexes about a median plane.

A protective face mask has a first panel, a second panel and a plurality of head attachment features. The first panel is configured to cover the facial area below the eyes with a mouth opening for the mouth region to allow the wearer to eat, drink or smoke. The second panel is configured to cover the mouth opening when not used for passing food, drink or smoking. The plurality of head attachment features are located at outer edges of the face mask panels.

The present invention relates to a novel all-purpose face mask device. The device is a protective facial mask that is configured to protect a user from germs, bacteria, and pathogens. The all-purpose face mask comprises an outer layer, an inner layer, an adjustable right ear loop, an adjustable left ear loop, and an opening through both the inner layer and the outer layer, configured to be positioned near the mouth of a user when the face mask is worn. Further, the device comprises a flap component for closing the opening. The flap component can be secured in an open configuration via a twist tie mechanism, buttons, snaps, etc. In this way, the flap component can be opened when a user is consuming food or beverages without fully removing the face mask.

A reusable respirator including a mask adapted for covering and conforming to the face around the nose and a mouth of a user, a strap configured to secure the mask to a face of the user, and a filter component. All components of the respirator are capable of being cleaned, disinfected and sterilized at temperatures in excess of 50° C. An outer surface of the mask is substantially smooth and wettable for easily disinfecting and is shaped with a pair of outer shield portions for housing particulate air filters. The outer shield portions each include a closeable vent through the outer surface that is adapted to provide a user seal check and direct air flow through the outer surface for filtering by the respective particulate air filter, which is adapted to filter at least 95% of airborne particles.
