The face mask with temperature display is a filtering face mask with an integrated temperature display for displaying a measured temperature of the wearer. The face mask includes a filtering sheet having opposed front and rear faces, and at least one strap attached to the filtering sheet for securing the filtering sheet over a portion of a wearer's face in a manner similar to that of a conventional filtering face mask. A visual display is secured to the front face of the filtering sheet and a temperature sensor is secured to the rear face of the filtering sheet. The temperature sensor is in communication with the visual display, such that the visual display can display the measured body temperature of the wearer.

A face mask is connected via a tube to a housing containing an ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) in a channel. A power source is connected to the UV LED. The channel is helical in shape and has undulations, so as to maximize the amount time the air is subjected to the UV radiation. The housing rear face has a fins to allow the heat from the LEDs to dissipate through the fins during use. This arrangement protects the user and others from excessive UV exposure and heat during use.

A face mask assembly includes a face mask that has a concave shape such that the face mask covers the user's mouth and the user's nose when the face mask is worn. A pad is integrated into the face mask to extend across the user's nose when the face mask is worn. The pad is comprised of an air impermeable material to inhibit air exhaled by the user from passing between the face mask and the user's nose thereby inhibiting eyeglasses worn by the user from is fogged. A bendable strip is integrated into the pad thereby facilitating the bendable strip to retain the pad in a preferred shape to conform to the shape of the user's nose.

This invention provides a respirator for detecting viruses which cause respiratory tract infection. The respirator comprises an outer layer, an inner layer, a rapid screening reagent between the outer layer and the inner layer, and a water-resist membrane between the rapid screening reagent and the inner layer. A sample pad of the rapid screening reagent is located on a region close to the nostrils, such that air from the nostrils will arrive the sample pad. Viruses inside the air with vapors or moistures will flow inside the rapid screening reagent through a conjugate pad, a nitrocellulose membrane, and an absorption pad. At least one test line will indicate a corresponding virus.

A facemask includes: a mask portion shaped to substantially cover a nose and mouth of a wearer of the facemask, the mask portion formed of a flexible material; a nose bridge extending substantially across a width of an upper edge of the mask portion and including a stiff deformable portion located on the nose bridge, wherein the stiff deformable portion is deformable to contour to a shape of a face of the wearer while substantially retaining the shape during use of the facemask; a first ear loop located along a first side of the mask portion; and a second ear loop located along a second side of the mark portion.

A face mask is provided. A face mask comprising a decorative skin, having a strap attached to an outer perimeter of the decorative skin, a respirator attached to a connection piece and utilizes a filter, the connection piece being attached to the decorative skin, a speaker and a microphone mounted to an interior of the face mask, an electronic transceiver module attached to the face mask and a power source attached to the face mask. The strap secures the face mask to a head of the user, the filter is connected to the respirator such that an air-tight seal is formed. The power source powers the speaker, the microphone, and the electronic transceiver module. The electronic transceiver module comprises a processor coupled to a computer memory and non-transitory computer readable media, the processor configured to transmit and receive signals from the electronic transceiver module and the speaker or microphone.

Embodiments for a strapless facemask are disclosed. In a non-limiting embodiment, the strapless facemask includes a mask body made of a filtering material having an inner, skin-facing surface and an outer surface. A flexible stalk is provided having an end attached to the mask body and another end attached to an adhesive pad. The stalk is disposed along a peripheral portion of the mask body to extend in a first direction away from the inner surface of the mask body. The adhesive pad may have a width greater than a width of the stalk in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

A personal space protective enclosure defines an enclosed space that protects individuals within the enclosed space from infection by airborne pathogens. A plurality of vertically-hanging strips hang on hooks on a strip-mounting frame that is supported by a vertical support stanchion, or a plurality thereof. The hooks each have a rectangular cross-section defining and a straight upper surface when viewed in one direction and a curvilinear cross-section when viewed in another direction. The vertically-hanging strips each define an opening that has an upper straight edge that is contiguous with the straight upper surface of the hooks when hanging in resting position, and which return to the resting position after being disturbed from the resting position, such as by an individual reaching between the vertically-hanging strips.
