Abstract
An assembly is provided. The assembly may include a face mask to conform to a face of a user, the face mask including an adapter including one or more venting pathways to alter a direction of one or more exhaled gasses traveling in an initial direction. An assembly may include a face shield, the face shield selectively engageable with the face mask. An assembly may include a connector including a magnetic engagement structure to couple the face mask to the face shield in a predetermined orientation.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a face mask configured to cover a nose and mouth of a user, and to conform to a face of a user, the face mask including one or more venting pathways to alter a direction of one or more exhaled gasses traveling in an initial direction, the face mask including an adapter, the adapter including a plurality of second venting pathways, each of the plurality of second venting pathways configured to direct the one or more exhaled gasses in a direction substantially orthogonal to the initial direction;
- a face shield, the face shield selectively engageable with the face mask;
- a connector including a magnetic engagement structure to couple the face mask to the face shield in a predetermined orientation;
- and
- at least one attachment element extending from the face mask, the at least one attachment element configured to selectively engage a surgical mask covering a nose and a mouth of the user such that when the at least one attachment element is selectively engaged with the surgical mask, the face mask is between i) a portion of the surgical mask covering the nose and mouth of the user, and ii) the connector.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a surgical mask comprising a main body and securing elements, the securing elements connected to the main body and configured to secure the surgical mask to a head of a user;
- a face mask configured to conform to the face of the user, the face mask including one or more venting pathways to alter a direction of one or more exhaled gasses traveling in an initial direction;
- a face shield, the face shield selectively engageable with the face mask;
- a connector including a magnetic engagement structure to couple the face mask to the face shield in a predetermined orientation, the connector further including a plurality of arms, each of the plurality of arms being flexibly constructed for adaptable engagement with the face shield;
- and
- at least one attachment element extending from the face mask, the at least one attachment element selectively engaging the main body of the surgical mask.
