Abstract: This invention is a device for orally directing air while wearing an air mask. In the invention, a tube extends from outside the air mask, through the air mask, and into the mask wearer's mouth. The tube is fitted with means to seal its passage through the mask and may also include a one-way valve to prevent aspiration through it. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is manufactured separately from an air mask and may be reused after the air mask becomes worn out.
