Patent number: 11420079Abstract: Disclosed herein is an in-mask display or feedback system having a lens coupled to a face blank of the mask, the lens covering a facepiece. The feedback system includes a display apparatus coupled to the facepiece, and disposed within an interior of the mask, the display apparatus being powered by a first power source coupled to a housing of the display apparatus. The feedback system further includes a recording device (e.g., a camera) coupled to the face blank, the recording device operable to communicate data (e.g., wirelessly or wired) with the display apparatus. In some approaches, the recording device is powered by a second power source. In other approaches, the first power source provides power to both the recording device and the display apparatus. In another approach, the display apparatus includes an adjustment aperture formed therethrough to allow adjustment of an eye piece housing a display.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Scott Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Darin Kyle Thompson, Eric James Bassani, Graham Peter Wilson, Troy Alan Baker, Kyle Dane Hudson, Christopher Ward, Longin James Kloc, Kimberly Michelle Henry

Patent number: 10946223Abstract: A method and system for personal protective equipment, such as a respirator mask, having a nosecup that is removably coupled to the item of personal protective equipment by at least one of an electronics housing and at least one voicemitter. A respirator mask includes a frame including a voicemitter aperture, a voicemitter, and a nosecup removably coupled to the frame by a rotation of the voicemitter by a predetermined amount to removably lock the nosecup to the frame voicemitter aperture. The mask further includes electronics components, which are housed in an annular electronics housing located within the front portion of the mask body 14 and in contact with a front portion of the nosecup. The nosecup may further be removably coupled to the mask frame by coupling between the annular electronics housing and the mask frame.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Scott Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Judge W. Morgan, III, Eric James Bassani, Jeffrey Scott Vogus, Darin Kyle Thompson, Graham Peter Wilson, Carl Estcourt Tucker

Patent number: 10926114Abstract: A power supply for an item of personal protective equipment and a method and system for removably coupling the power supply to the item of personal protective equipment, such as a respirator mask. The removable battery cartridge is attached to the mask body in the user's chin area, below the location at which a respirator would be or is attached. Thus, the power supply (battery cartridge) is out of the user's way and is at a location that allow the user to couple or uncouple the cartridge from the mask quickly and easily, even when the user is wearing gloves. In one embodiment, a mask body includes a lower surface and power supply that is removably couplable to the mask body lower surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Scott Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Darin Kyle Thompson, Eric James Bassani, Graham Peter Wilson, Carl Estcourt Tucker
