  • Patent number: 5483956
    Abstract: The present invention relates to fire and hazardous fume safety equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a combination lighted escape mask and night light container. The mask includes a fire protective enclosure which fits around the head of a wearer, a light mounted on the top of the mask, a visibly transparent visor, a breathing filter, and an elastic collar to form an air-tight seal about the wearer's head. The escape mask fits inside a container which includes a biased top and an external night light which functions as an opening mechanism for the biased top of the container. An electrical connector connects the container and mask to an electrical source to constantly charge the light on the mask and the night light on the container. Thus, a kit is provided for saving a life in the event of fire.
