Abstract
The invention relates to a modular, portable, air purifier and mask device capable of supplying filtered or otherwise conditioned airflow to an individual. More specifically, the present invention provides a modular air purification system that allows for the selection of multiple types of air treatment modules, power modules and mask devices. Through selective combination of a variety of modules, a desired air quality and condition is achieved.
Claims13
A portable air purification apparatus comprising:
- a power module with a common power interface;
- a first air compression module with a common air interface and a common power interface, wherein the air compression module provides a stream of air through its common air interface that substantially lacks buffeting;
- at least one filtering module with a common air interface;
- wherein the at least one filtering module, the power module and the first air compression modules are configured to connect together in series with one another so that the power module distributes electrical energy to another one of the modules through its common power interface and the another one of the modules is adapted to distribute electrical energy to a further one of the modules through its common power interface, and the at least one air compression module is configured to distribute compressed air to the at least one filtering module through their common air interfaces, wherein each of the common power interfaces and common air interfaces is configured to couple one of the modules to another of the modules;
- and
- a nasal mask configured to connect to the filtering module and direct compressed air into the nasal passages of a user.

A portable air purification apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of modules removably coupled to one another in series, wherein the air purification apparatus includes:
- a power module with a common power interface wherein the power module is equipped with a computer programmable timer;
- a first air compression module with a common air interface and a common power interface, wherein the air compression module provides a stream of air through its common air interface that substantially lacks buffeting;
- at least one filtering module with a common air interface;
- wherein the at least one filtering module, the power module and the first air compression module are configured to connect together with one another so that the power module distributes electrical energy to the first air compression module through its common power interface, and the first air compression module is configured to distribute compressed air to the at least one filtering module through their common air interfaces;
- a nasal mask configured to connect to the at least one filtering module and direct compressed air into the nasal passages of a user;
- and
- an air humidity modification module with a common air interface and a common power interface connected in series with one of said at least one air compression module and at least said filtering module through their common air interfaces, and their common power interfaces.
