A mask can be used on a face of a wearer having a head, a face, a nose, and a mouth. The mask can comprise a transparent body defining a peripheral rim that is configured to engage the face of the wearer. The transparent body can be configured to simultaneously cover the mouth and the nose of the wearer. The transparent body can define at least one aperture. The transparent body can define a circumferential surface around each aperture. A respective filter media can extend across and covers each aperture of the at least one aperture. A respective retaining element can be configured to retain the respective filter media across each aperture. The circumferential surface around each aperture can be configured to cooperate with the retaining element to retain the respective filter media between the retaining element and the circumferential surface.

A protective shirt includes a chest portion made of garment material including a lining on a side of the chest portion that is closest to a wearer of the protective shirt. At least one layer of neoprene is securely fastened to the lining. The at least one layer of neoprene extends from a left side of the chest portion to a right side of the chest portion, and is located at an area of the chest portion nearest to a clavicle of a wearer of the protective shirt. The at least one layer of neoprene includes a plurality of spaced-apart segments of the at least one layer of neoprene. The protective shirt includes a neoprene neck pad. Embodiments of the protective shirt include cap-sleeve, short sleeve, long sleeve, sleeveless and tank top versions. In one embodiment, the garment material includes nylon and spandex.

Provided are multilayer elastomer compositions such as multilayer films which possess the ability to self-repair upon puncturing. The multilayer elastomer compositions may be prepared from, for example, styrenic block copolymers and find use in the manufacture of thin walled articles, for example gloves, particularly medical or industrial gloves.

The sanitizing glove is built to not only provide the user with protection from external germs, but to sanitize the touched surfaces by use. On the front of the glove where the wearer's palm and fingers are behind the glove is attached a sanitizing surface akin to a disinfectant wipe. As the wearer of the glove interacts with objects such as handles, knobs, or buttons, the sanitizing liquid of the glove's front cleans the objects touched. This procedure protects not only the glove wearer from germs, but anyone else who interacts with the same objects soon after. Over time, the sanitizing liquid on the front of the glove may begin to dry or run down. It can be refreshed by use of a sanitizing spray.

A dynamically configurable wetsuit includes a torso part having a pair of partial arm sleeves and a pair of partial leg pants. A distal end of each of the pair of partial arm sleeves and the pair of partial leg pants has a first connector that includes a set of outward-facing ridges. The wetsuit further includes a pair of arm parts and a pair of leg parts. Each of the pair of arm parts and the pair of leg parts having a second connector at a proximal end for detachable connection with one of the first connectors of the torso part, each second connector including a set of inward-facing ridges. The wetsuit further includes a fastener system to maintain a connection between the first and second connectors.

The present invention relates to a lightweight comfortable disposable antiviral and antibacterial full head and shoulder hood designed to be pulled over the head of a person and used in conjunction with any N95 mask, surgical mask, paper mask or any other similar protective mask to cover the entire face, head and shoulder of the wearer to eliminate or reduce the rate of viral contamination. Which mask comprises a unitary shell of transparent plastic, or latex, or any similar nylon material. The hood has a cap portion with a two face eye piece opening for the wearing of any eye protection apparatus, and a voicemitter port opening to accommodate the wearing of the N95 mask or any similar protective device. It seals the opening around ear, and the nose and mouth area where the N95 mask or any similar mask is worn. When the hood is use, the ridge of the eye and nose vent is designed to trace the facial respiratory line, from the tip of the nose to midpoint between the ear and mouth, making the mask sturdy when been used, and maintaining the contour of the face depending on the size of the hood. The face plate as three elastic openings that elastically seals the eye opening of the wearer and any protective device used to cover the nose and mouth. The hood also has as a mesh opening around both area of the hears of the wearer head, to facilitate better hearing and provide for air venting of the hood. The collar portion of the hood extend down from the cap portion and includes a Velcro band to slightly adjust the constriction of the neck portion to adjust for proper fit. While the neck and shoulder cape portions projects down from the neck portion and includes a pair of underarm straps having a Velcro material for holding the cape portion in place when hood is been worn. Several Velcro mounds are attached to the collar portion and cape for securing the cape portion upward, when ventilation under the hood is needed.

This present patent application discloses a glove designed to facilitate comfort while preventing fist clenching, arthritic pain, and hand cramps, and secures conveniently to the hand and wrist via adjustable hook and loop fastener straps. The invention also features a netting or attachment area integrated into a portion of the glove which is capable of supporting and holding therapeutic aids while the user is asleep or to help involuntary muscle contractions. The netting area allows the wearer to squeeze the therapeutic aid if needed, and prevents the user from clenching their hand into a fist while sleeping, minimizing the effects of PTSD, arthritis, etc. in the hands and joints.

The present invention relates to heatable garments (1), comprising a garment body (3) and a heating pad (5) adhered to at least a portion of the garment body (3), wherein the heating pad (5) comprises graphene particles dispersed in a polymer matrix material. The invention also provides fabrics for making such garments, and methods of making such garments and fabrics. Also provided are heatable bedding incorporating a heating pad as described above.

The present disclosure provides microstructured hydrophobic surfaces and devices for gripping wet deformable surfaces. The surfaces and devices disclosed herein utilize a split contact Wenzel-Cassie mechanism to develop multi-level Wenzel-Cassie structures. The Wenzel-Cassie structures are separated with a spatial period corresponding to at least one wrinkle eigenmode of a wet deformable surface to which the microstructure or device is designed to contact, allowing grip of the deformable surface without slippage. Microstructures of the present invention are specifically designed to prevent the formation of Shallamach waves when a shear force is applied to a deformable surface. The multi-level Wenzel-Cassie states of the present disclosure develop temporally, and accordingly are characterized by hierarchical fluid pinning, both in the instance of slippage, and more importantly in the instance of localization. This temporal aspect to the multi-level Wenzel-Cassie state delays or prevents the transition from a wrinkled eigenmode state in a deformable surface to a buckled state in a deformable surface.
