Some embodiments include a respirator. The respirator includes a mask structure comprising one or more layers, multiple folds, and a contact surface region, and the one or more layers include a filtration layer. Meanwhile, the respirator includes an attachment mechanism coupled to the mask structure. The attachment mechanism is operable to couple the mask structure to a face region of a user. The user has a maxilla bone having a first frontal process and a second frontal process, and when the mask structure is coupled to the face region of the user by the attachment mechanism, the multiple folds conform the contact surface region to the face region of the user over the first frontal process of the maxilla bone and over the second frontal process of the maxilla bone. Other embodiments of related respirators and methods are also disclosed.

A jacket configured for compact storage, the jacket including a body having a neck opening and a torso opening, the body being configured to transition from an expanded state to a compacted state, a hem comprising pairs of hem openings, an elastic cord extending through the hem and the pairs of hem openings, clamps corresponding to the pairs of hem openings, each clamp dividing the elastic cord protruding from a corresponding pair of hem openings into a first cord portion and a second cord portion, anchors corresponding to the pairs of hem openings, each anchor coupling the portion of the elastic cord protruding from the corresponding pair of hem openings to the body, the first cord portion or second cord portion being configured to apply an elastic tension force to the body when stretched over the body in the compacted state to thereby maintain the body in the compacted state.

A filter mask for filtering air inhaled and exhaled from the mouth and nostrils while providing a secure fit and comfort to the wearer is provided. The filter mask has upper and lower edges which are provided with at least one malleable stiffener for conforming to the shape of the wearer's nose and cheek area and/or the lower jaw and chin area. In some embodiments, the filter masks further comprises a malleable stiffening member configured to conform the filter material to at least a chin portion and a jaw portion of the face. In some embodiments, the malleable stiffener can have a bend portion, which allows the wearer of the mask to know which part, center and side of the mask is to be properly placed on the nose and cheek area. The masks provide excellent filtration and provide a secure and comfortable fit to the wearer.

A fold flat personal respiratory device comprising: a generally planar central panel (10) including a layer of filter media and having opposing first and second side edges (12a, 12b) and first and second end edges (11); a first side panel joined to said central panel (10) along said first side edge (12a); a second side panel joined to said central panel (10) along said second side edge (12b); the device being manually configurable from a folded configuration in which said side panels (12a, 12b) are substantially parallel to a planar surface of said central panel (10) and an operational configuration in which said central (10) and first and second side panels (12a, 12b) form a cup-shaped respiratory chamber; the device further comprising a rigid or semi-rigid endoskeleton member (36) mounted along a planar surface of said central panel (10) and extending between said first and second side edges (12a, 12b) and/or said first and second end edges (11).

A rapidly deployable protective facemask includes a resilient member that self-expands to a deployed configuration when the mask is removed from its container.

The masks provide excellent filtration and provide a secure and comfortable fit to the wearer.

The present invention is generally directed to a portable, reusable, and rapidly deployable protective cover configured to be worn over a person's clothing and to protect portions of the person's torso and lap from liquid and solid spills, particularly while in a seated position, such as when sitting in a vehicle.

A wader comprising a body portion and a bootie. The bootie is attached to the body portion. The bootie is comprised of a toe piece, an ankle piece, and a sole piece. The toe piece, the ankle piece, and the sole piece are adhered together to form the bootie. The toe piece has an outside surface, and the toe piece comprises a raised neoprene area on the outside surface. The ankle piece has an inside surface, and the ankle piece comprises a raised neoprene area on the inside surface. The toe piece, the ankle piece, and the sole piece are all comprised of a neoprene material. The raised neoprene area on the inside surface of the ankle piece is configured to wick moisture up and away from the foot of the wearer.

Meanwhile, the respirator includes an attachment mechanism coupled to the mask structure. The attachment mechanism is operable to couple the mask structure to a face region of a user. The user has a maxilla bone having a first frontal process and a second frontal process, and when the mask structure is coupled to the face region of the user by the attachment mechanism, the multiple folds conform the contact surface region to the face region of the user over the first frontal process of the maxilla bone and over the second frontal process of the maxilla bone. Other embodiments of related respirators and methods are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, a neck support device includes: first and second leg attachment portions; a head cradle; and a first coupling portion attaching the first leg attachment portion to the head cradle and a second coupling portion attaching the second leg attachment portion to the head cradle. In another embodiment, a method of supporting the neck of a user when the user is laying on his or her back or supporting the back of a user when the user is in a seated position includes: attaching the first leg attachment portion to the first leg of the user; attaching the second leg attachment portion to the second leg of the user; and fixing the head cradle.
