Disclosed is a face mask having improved air permeability. Provided is a face mask having improved air permeability according to one aspect of the present invention, the face mask including a mask main body configured to cover a part of a user's face including the user's nose and mouth, a folded region formed by folding a part of the mask main body to increase a vent area and decrease airflow resistance when breathing, and support bands coupled to the mask main body and configured to support the mask main body so that the mask main body is in close contact with the user's face, in which the folded region includes a plurality of folded parts formed by folding the mask main body multiple times in opposite directions along folding lines extending in a longitudinal direction.

An improved protective face mask is disclosed having separate chambers for the nose and mouth thereby creating separate air passages for air flow and better circulation of clean air flow for breathing. The mask comprises a first chamber made to form and fit upon the nose of the wearer having a first air passage and a second chamber formed to cover and contain the mouth of the wearer having a second air passage for directing air flow therein. The mask includes a secured separation means between the first chamber and the second chamber, and an angled directional cavity in the second chamber extending downwards from mouth area towards chin area for creating the second air passage to direct the air flow.

Described herein is a facemask and/or facial covering support system for a variety of masks and/or other facial coverings. The system is designed to redirect the straps and/or bands of a facial covering or facemask to prevent impinging on, or causing pain, to the ears of the user of the facial covering as well as preventing the facemask from obstructing the mouth/nose of the user. The system may be used with a dedicated facemask or retrofit onto existing facemasks. The system further allows for the facemask to be loosened without being completely removed.

A face mask comprises a container coupled to a first surface of a face mask, a fragrance material disposed in the container, and an exhalation valve coupled to a second surface of the a face mask. The fragrance material comprises a fluid configured to evaporate from the fragrance material, and the container is configured to releasably engage the exhalation valve to form a closed chamber. The closed chamber is configured to enclose the fragrance material when the container is releasably engaged with the exhalation valve.

A customizable mask system can include a facemask, such as a filtering facepiece respirator, that has a first set of fastening elements integrated into an internal surface of the facemask. The system can also include a customizable mask band adapted to cover at least a portion of an external surface of the facemask. The mask band can have one or more attachment portions positioned on the mask band in locations that correspond to positions of the first set of fastening elements on the facemask and a second set of fastening elements integrated into the attachment portions. The attachment portions of the mask band can wrap around side edges of the external surface of the facemask such that the second set of fastening elements mate with the first set of fastening elements.

A sanitary safety mask assembly for inhibiting the airborne transmission of infectious disease includes a mask that is wearable over a user's face. The mask is comprised of a microbe blocking material to inhibit airborne transmission of infectious diseases. A pair of straps is each coupled to the mask and each of the straps forms a closed loop for positioning around a respective one of the user's ears. An air valve is integrated into the mask, and the air valve is actuatable into a closed condition or an open condition. A pad is provided that is infused with a chemical aroma such that the pad releases the chemical aroma as a vapor. The pad is insertable into the air valve to release the vapor of the chemical aroma into the air that is breathed by the user.
