  • Publication number: 20210331008
    Abstract: A flat-fold, filtering, face-piece respirator that has a harness, a mask body, and first and second flanges. The mask body is capable of being folded flat for storage and can be opened into a cup-shaped configuration for use. The mask body comprises a filtering structure and has the first and second flanges disposed on first and second mask body sides. The first and second flanges project both laterally x and frontally y from the mask body. The provision of the flanges on each side of the respirator is beneficial to ease of mask donning, doffing, and adjustment, and to face fit and maintaining the open shape or configuration of the mask body.

  • Patent number: 11083916
    Abstract: A flat-fold, filtering, face-piece respirator 10 that has a harness 14, a mask body 12, and first and second flanges 30a, 30b. The mask body 12 is capable of being folded flat for storage and can be opened into a cup-shaped configuration for use. The mask body 12 includes a filtering structure 16 and has the first and second flanges 30a, 30b disposed on first and second mask body sides. The first and second flanges 30a, 30b project both laterally x and frontally y from the mask body 12. The provision of the flanges on each side of the respirator is beneficial to ease of mask donning, doffing, and adjustment, and to face fit and maintaining the open shape or configuration of the mask body.

  • Patent number: 8640704
    Abstract: A flat-fold filtering face piece respirator 10 that comprises a mask body 12 that has a transversely-extending line of demarcation 22 and a longitudinal axis 34. First and second weld patterns 32a, 32b are disposed above and not traversing the line of demarcation on each side of the longitudinal axis 34, respectively. Third and fourth weld patterns 32c, 32d are disposed below and not crossing the line of demarcation 22 on each side of the longitudinal axis 34, respectively. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth weld patterns 32a-32d is a two-dimensional enclosed pattern. This combined weld patterns can provide a mask body that exhibits crush resistance without the need for additional or heavier layers, which may cause higher pressure drops across the filtering structure.
