A face shield assembly with positive pressure airflow comprises a head band, a transparent face shield, a foam spacer, and at least one airflow supply unit providing a positive pressure airflow. The head band attaches the face shield outward and the foam spacer inward. The airflow supply unit has hose(s) to connect the holes distributed in the foam spacer, consequently bring forth airflow on the front of the user's face to prevent the droplets and particles from being inhaled into the user's nose and mouth.

Using a camera pointing downward, a working area below eye level can be displayed by a headwear for users, so that the user can maintain healthy sitting or standing posture while working on patients or objects located below eye level. Using two or more cameras pointing downward, three-dimensional views with accurate and natural depth perception of a working area can be displayed by a headwear for users. Additional functions including eye protection, zoom-in, zoom-out, on-off, lighting control, overlapping, and teleconference capabilities are also supported using electronic, video and audio devices associated with the headwear. The headwear can also comprise a face shield designed to protect the user from hazardous droplets, aerosols, harmful wavelengths of light, heat, sparks, flash burn, debris and/or flying objects. Contactless control devices can be used to control the functions of the headwear.

The present disclosure provides a face shield that includes a frame supported by a head of the wearer and a transparent visor removably coupled to the frame. When coupled to the frame, the visor extends around the face of the wearer such that the visor covers at least one of a mouth, a nose, and eyes of the wearer. The face shield further includes an ion generator coupled to the frame. The ion generator generates and emits negatively-charged ions in a region of ambient air surrounding the mouth or the nose of the wearer such that negatively-charged ions charge particulate matter suspended in the region of ambient air. The face shield includes a positively- or negatively charged or grounded trap that collects or deflects the negatively-charged ions and the particulate matter charged by the negatively-charged ions.

A face shield is formed of a sheet of flexible material bent in an arc about a user's face with ends supported by the temples of glasses worn by the user. Cut outs allow use of the face shield without interference with the glasses lenses or accessories such as eye loupes worn during

A light weight face shield is disclosed that attaches to a user's head and extends below a user's face, covering the user's mouth and nose. The shield includes a transparent, thin, plastic panel that is concave in shape and attaches to a head band via a support member. On the concave surface adjacent the user's mount is a small microphone and power supply adapted to receive audio signals from the user's voice. On the outside of the shield is a speaker that receives a signal and emits the user's voice outside the shield so that it can be easily heard and understood by a listener. In a preferred embodiment, the power supply is rechargeable battery and the microphone and speaker are separable to easily remove the electronics from the shield.

An eyewear lens coupling system and methods can be used during assembly of an eyewear. The system and methods may advantageously decrease optical distortion of the lens during assembly and use and/or may also advantageously increase retention of the lens to the eyewear frame to improve the overall quality of the eyewear.

A personal protective device (PPE) comprising a face cover assembly and a bodysuit configured to be worn by a human user. The device protects users against airborne aerosol particles containing viruses or other infectious agents while enabling improved flexibility relative to prior art designs. The device includes a helmet-like” rotating face cover assembly that fits over the user's head and attaches to a collar on the biohazard bodysuit. This rotating face cover assembly has a plurality of different mask sides, each with differing geometries or other properties. The device enables a user to rotate (either manually or by electric motor) the masks and select a given mask side that best meets that user's needs. The different mask sides can accommodate different facial geometries, eyewear types, and use cases, such as operation in more hostile environments.

A protective lens stack comprises a base layer including a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film containing a UV blocking additive and one or more removable lens layers stacked on top of the base layer. Each of the removable lens layers may include a PET film and a first adhesive disposed on a bottom surface of the PET film. Refractive indices of the base layer and the one or more removable lens layers may be matched to within 0.2. Each layer of the protective lens stack, including the base layer and each of the removable lens layer(s), may have less than 0.5% haze. The protective lens stack may be used as a face shield or may be surface mountable using a second adhesive disposed on a bottom surface of the PET film containing the UV blocking additive.

A protective garment having a face shield frame with a first opening. A face shield is mounted to the frame covering this first opening. A hood is provided that has a second opening. The second opening has a perimeter edge. The face shield frame has a groove adjacent the first opening, and the edge is releasably secured within the groove. The edge is frictionally retained within the groove. Alternatively, the face shield frame can have a connecting frame that is inserted into a groove on the hood. The protective garment can also include filter opening with a removeable filter material juxtaposed over the filter opening.

The invention relates to a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) system with a transparent multi-use face shield, a foam frame attached to the interior face of the face shield, a flexible hose secured within a hole bore through the foam frame, a portable air filtering enclosure and a pump contained therein that introduces filtered air into the system through the flexible hose, and a non-woven HEPA cloth carry bag that also functions as an air filter. The face shield features a fastener system that includes flexible straps made from a transparent, flexible, non-stick, and self-adhesive releasable tape. The invention provides the user eye protection and respiratory protection from direct fluid spray, flying debris, unclean air, unhealthy airborne contaminants, including SARS-CoV-2 and other harmful viruses or pathogens.
