A face shield apparatus suited for medical laboratory practices or in any other application that requires face protection is presented. The face shield apparatus contains a headband, a first shield portion, a second shield portion, and a connection element. The first shield portion is connected adjacent to the headband. The second shield portion is connected adjacent to the first shield portion, opposite to the headband through a connection element. The second shield portion is removably attached to the first shield portion through the connection element, allowing the user to use the face shield apparatus in a whole configuration or halved configuration, where the whole configuration utilizes both the first shield portion and the second shield portion while the halved configuration utilizes only the first shield portion.

An integral face shield formed from a single sheet of material. The face shield can have a clear portion adapted to shield a face of a user, a first adjusting strip, a second adjusting strip, and at least one slot disposed upon the second adjusting strip adapted to receive the first adjusting strip. The face shield can be manufactured flat for storage and shipping. The user can also flatten the shield for storage after use.

A personal protective equipment system including a face mask and an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation stage to irradiate incoming volume of air before being introduced to the user. There is included a flexible printed circuit enclosed within a housing of the face mask, the flexible printed circuit having an array of UV LED circuits. A fan is provided to drive the volume of air through a passage within the mask.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for minimizing the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and/or other infectious diseases between individuals in close proximity to one another. The systems described herein may comprise a substantially transparent shield component, a chamber component, and a suctioning component. The systems and associated methods of the present disclosure are intended to remove any SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or other infectious agents that may be travelling within aerosols.

Disclosed herein are protective apparatuses, and associated systems, for minimizing the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and/or other infectious diseases between individuals in close proximity to one another including, for example, transmission through droplets projecting from the mouth or nasal region of an infected individual. Said apparatuses may comprise a substantially transparent shield component and a handle component comprising a connecting aspect. The protective apparatuses may comprise light emitting diodes and associated control means. The protective apparatuses of the present disclosure may further comprise a camera communicatively connected to a display screen.

Personal protective equipment includes a transparent shield, a cushion backing the shield, and a band attached to the shield to electrically couple the equipment to a user when worn. In embodiments, the band includes conductive fibers interwoven into the band to contact the user head when worn, the cushion has an electrical conductivity, and the shield has a low triboelectric effect to prevent accumulation of static charge on the shield.

A completely planar, translucent, hand held protective shield to be held in front of one's face to eliminate saliva and antigen transmission from person to person when in close contact. when social distancing. The handle is copper clad to kill antigens including viruses. The material of construction is plexiglass so it is dishwasher safe. Anti-glare, anti-foging and anti reflective surface treatments may be applied to one or both of the planar faces of the body. Optional visual alignment marks may also be incorporated on the face/s of the shield.

A face mask having a positive air flow by use of an attached portable air purification unit. The device is used to filter and purify inhaled air, making it easier for individuals to comfortably wear a face mask for public health and safety. An outtake filter inhibits contaminated air from being expelled by the mask wearer. The portable air purifier is powered by means of rechargeable battery power using a USB connector, allowing static or dynamic use.

The present invention relates to active respiratory protective face shield systems. More specifically, the present invention is directed to face shield systems comprising a transparent lens having generally open design so to not substantially contact the user's face. The lens configured to cover at least the user's nose and mouth. An input filter system module provides a positive pressure environment to a breathing chamber by the delivery of filtered air. The positive pressure is of sufficient magnitude so to produce an air barrier for substantially preventing environmental contamination, e.g., particulate matter, microorganisms, and the like, from entering the breathing chamber. Alternate embodiments further include an output filter system module for the evacuation and substantial filtration of the user's exhalation air to surrounding environment.

A smart mask with IoT function includes an airtight mask and an air filter device. The airtight mask has an inlet and an outlet. The air filter device has an input port and an output port connected respectively with the inlet and the outlet, and configured to provide clean air to the inlet. First, breathing data can be collected via the IoT function. Next, an algorithm can be implemented to allow the user to adjust the provision of the air to feel more comfortable during wearing the smart mask.
