  • Patent number: 7762257
    Abstract: A close-fitting face mask made of woven or non-woven material having a fitted nose area with a nose-bridge contact and a nose-bridge recess or space, a nose upper part extending from the nose-bridge contact at the mid point of the bridge of the wearer's nose to the level of the lower eyelid, a chin part with a recess or space extending below the wearer's chin, and attachment straps made of elastic or flexible material including upper straps, one each side, attached to the nose upper part and passing above the upper part of the wearer's ear, and lower straps, one each side, attached to the pivot or neutral point of the mask and passing below the wearer's ear.

  • Publication number: 20070267022
    Abstract: A face mask made of woven or non-woven material that accommodates the anatomical features of the face. It has a nose recess or nose-locating space, extended chin space and close fitting cheek areas, for use in medical environments or for general public use. The mask has been developed with innovations that provide security to the wearer by its to the fitting the face particularly without moving upwards or downwards when moving the jaw. This is unlike all other masks tested which either move upwards to reveal the mouth or slide downward to reveal the nostrils due to the movement of the jaw and face when talking or coughing etc. The stability and secure fit to the face is achieved by following the anatomical configuration of the face and by the positioning of the slightly elastic holding straps—the upper one is positioned level with the upper nose to the top of the ear and the lower strap from the mid point of the mask to under the ear—the straps form a loop around the ear.

  • Patent number: 7086401
    Abstract: A respiratory mask that conforms to N95 performance and other high performance standards with improved air permeability for improved air circulation. The respiratory mask has a mask body and a headband for putting on the respiratory mask to the face of a wearer, the mask body consisting of an inside mask having two or more filter layers; an outside mask, having two or more filter layers; one or more spacers inserted between the filter layers of the inside mask to generate space between different filter layers of the inside mask; and one or more spacers inserted between the filter layers of the outside mask to generate space between different filter layers of the outside mask so that when air is discharged by the wearer, the spacers together with the filter layers provide a pumping effect mechanism to blow out more carbon dioxide given off by the wearer to the surrounding and to take in more air from the surrounding for the wearer. Various forms and shapes of the spacer have been proposed.
