  • Publication number: 20210298387
    Abstract: Face-worn accessories provide protection against air-borne particulates. A curved rigid or semi-rigid plastic frame with inner and outer surfaces surrounds an open window covered by a curved, transparent plastic shield. The upper and side portions of the frame include a compressible seal. The frame is worn over the mouth and nostrils of a wearer, with opposing side elastic members extending around the ears of a wearer, such that the compressible seal is conformal to a wearer's face. A gap at the lower portion of the frame is covered with filtration material, which may be provided by an existing removable, replaceable facial mask with the around-the-ear flexible bands of the existing mask being used to hold the entire accessory in position. The invention affords, greater visualization, improved protection with enhanced breathing, while allowing the user to chose their own mask or material for filtration purposes.
