  • Patent number: 11712589
    Abstract: A filter housing for use with a protective mask or other personal protective equipment is described including a base, a top, a sidewall connecting the top and the base, and a void that houses a filter medium or a filter medium cannister. The housing also includes an inlet with an inlet opening for receiving ambient gas into the container, an outlet including an outlet opening for discharging gas from the container to the protective mask, and an interface for removably securing the filter housing to the protective mask or other personal protective equipment. The base may include a concave surface substantially surrounding the opening and the interface, and a space between the void and the concave surface of the base may be partitioned by a plurality of members connected at least partially to the base or the sidewall and define a substantially planar surface facing the void.

  • Publication number: 20220331621
    Abstract: A modular powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) is provided including one or more of a first inlet configured to receive an ambient gas, a gas filter in fluid communication with the first inlet and configured to filter the ambient gas; a blower configured to boost at least one of a flow rate or a pressure of the ambient gas entering and/or exiting the gas filter; a second and independent inlet configured to receive a non-ambient gas; a first outlet configured to selectively provide a breathing gas to a user from the ambient gas or the non-ambient gas; and/or a controller and switching device configured to select the source of the breathing gas between the first inlet and the second inlet. Embodiments may also include a power source for the blower.
