Publication number: 20230034491Abstract: A face mask apparatus equipped with specially positioned fabric welds configured to ensure that the face mask contours to the shape of a user's face snugly and securely when worn. The unique weld enables the face mask to be manufactured in differing sizes without changing the fit of the fabrics employed in the construction of the mask, expediting and simplifying production. The contour established via the specific placement of the welds is aided by a foam segment on a nose bridge portion configured to provide comfort as well as a secure seal on all borders of the face mask. Three panels of varying sizes are present on each fit of the face mask.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Paul Newman

Patent number: 11518562Abstract: Described herein is a method of forming individual tubes or sachets containing fluent material, and a packaging machine for doing so, are described. The side of the foil which will be in contact with the fluent material when the package is formed is exposed to plasma in mist or aerosol form as the tube or sachet is formed from a strip of laminate material (1), which is folded about a former (2) into a closed tube or sachet which passes over the open end of a dispensing tube (3) from which the fluent material is dispensed. A mist of plasma is injected into the interior of the material tube as it is formed, extracted from the area once it has passed over the interior walls of the laminate tube.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Inventors: Paul Newman, Mark Blackman

Patent number: 11497295Abstract: An elongated flexible member has a center portion and a pair of end portions with each end portion having a plurality of openings therein. A module has an elongated tubular body defining a chamber therein and has a pair of tabs extending in opposite directions therefrom. A pair of fasteners with each fastener having a male connector positioned on one side and a female connector having open slot on the opposite side is provided. Each of the module tabs insert into one of fastener female connector open slots. Each of the fastener male connector insert into one of the elongated flexible member end portion openings to connect the module to the elongated flexible member.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Inventors: Gabriel Paul Newman, Brittany Rose Falussy

Publication number: 20220264969Abstract: A face mask apparatus configured to more closely adhere to the face of the user such that it is fitted to the bridge of the nose to minimize any vision obstruction by a wearer. The face mask is equipped with a nose bridge segment, a mouth segment, and a chin segment, each disposed in serial communication at obtuse angles. A nose bridge support is disposed within a material of the nose bridge segment and is configured to ensure that the mask remains in position during movement of the face. Additionally, a secondary support is present within the mouth segment to ensure the mask is fitted to the face of the user for comfort and to ensure efficacy. The material of the mask is configured to filter bacteria, viruses, pollen, mold, dust, and other debris, and is preferably removably affixed to the face of the user via retention straps.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventor: Paul Newman
