Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a multifunctional face mask system adapted to receive a nebulizer system, enabling a user to be treated by a nebulizer medication, while simultaneously providing a hygienic barrier between the user and their external environment via at least one filter component. The present invention further provides a multifunctional face mask system that is self-supporting, thereby enabling a user to wear the mask system in a portable manner. The present invention, in other embodiments, includes the bonding between at least one filter component and its corresponding filter window, to be produced by a selective mold behind injection molding process.
Claims26
A multifunctional face mask system for providing a hygienic barrier between a user and the user's external environment while the user is treated by a nebulizer medication, said multifunctional face mask system comprising:
- (a) a mask housing configured to interface with the user, said mask housing comprising:
- (i) a housing receptacle configured to receive a nebulizer system;
- (ii) a front section, a top section, a bottom section, a left-side section, a right-side section and a housing outer edge perimeter configured to sealingly engage circumferential area about the user's nose and mouth;
- and
- (iii) at least one filter window comprising at least one aperture, at least one filter component affixed to said at least one filter window using a joining system, said at least one filter component comprising a filter perimeter strip possessing a top surface, a bottom surface and a perimeter edge surface;
- and
- (b) an attachment system,
- wherein said attachment system cooperates with said mask housing having sufficient rigidity to provide said multifunctional face mask system that is self-supporting when worn by the user.
A face mask system for providing a hygienic barrier between a user and the user's external environment, said face mask system comprising:
- (a) a mask housing fabricated from an injection-moldable thermoplastic material, said mask housing comprising at least one filter window comprising at least one aperture, and at least one filter component comprising a filter perimeter strip, wherein said at least one filter component is bonded onto said filter window using a selective mold behind injection molding process;
- said mask housing further comprising a housing outer edge perimeter configured to sealingly engage circumferential area about the user's nose and mouth;
- and
- (b) an attachment system,
- wherein said attachment system cooperate with said mask housing with sufficient rigidity to provide said multifunctional face mask system that is self-supporting when worn by the user.
