Abstract
An apparatus for holding a mask for covering a mouth and a nose of a user is disclosed. The mask can comprise at least one strap. The apparatus can comprise a handle having a first end and a second end spaced relative to a central axis. First and second arms can be coupled to the second end of the handle. The first and second arms can extend from the handle in a direction from the first end of the handle to the second end of the handle and are spaced from each other relative to a first transverse axis. Each of the first and second arms can comprise at least one strap retainer that is configured to receive the at least one strap so that the at least one strap is inhibited from sliding relative to the at least one strap retainer.

An apparatus for holding a facemask for covering a mouth and a nose of a user, the facemask comprising at least one strap, the apparatus comprising:
- a handle having a first end and a second end spaced relative to a central axis;
- and
- first and second arms that are coupled to the second end of the handle, wherein the first and second arms extend from the handle in a direction from the first end of the handle to the second end of the handle, and wherein the first and second arms are spaced from each other relative to a first transverse axis,
- wherein each of the first and second arms comprises at least one strap retainer that is configured to receive the at least one strap so that the at least one strap is inhibited from sliding relative to the at least one strap retainer.
A method comprising:
- coupling a facemask to an apparatus for holding the facemask, wherein the facemask comprises at least one strap, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- a handle having a first end and a second end spaced relative to a central axis;
- and
- first and second arms that are coupled to the second end of the handle, wherein the first and second arms extend from the handle in a direction from the first end of the handle to the second end of the handle, and wherein the first and second arms are spaced from each other relative to a first transverse axis,
- wherein each of the first and second arms comprises at least one strap retainer,
