High performance ventilatory training mask incorporating multiple and adjustable air admittance valves for replicating various encountered altitude resistances

A wearable training mask providing variable inhalation resistance settings, comprising:

• a depth defining and air impermeable body having an exterior surface and an interior surface exhibiting a perimeter extending seal such that said body is adapted to overlay a wearer's mouth and nose;
• at least one air admittance valve subassembly incorporated into at least one location along the body, the valve subassembly having a stem support an air passageway configured base mounted through said body in communication with said exterior and interior surfaces;
• a flexible diaphragm mounting to said stem within said base, at least one cap interchangeably engaging upon an exterior side of said base and through which are defined a select number of air flow permitting apertures for establishing a selected resistance setting for affecting a degree of air flow into said mask in response to inhalation by the wearer;
• said diaphragm having a thin and substantially planar shape portion exhibiting an outline matching an inner facing perimeter of said base, a post exhibiting a channeled interior and extending from said planar shape portion and mounting over said supporting stem for arraying said planar portion within said base;
• and
• straps extending from said body and having inter-engaging ends adapted for affixing about the wearers head.

A wearable training mask providing variable inhalation resistance settings, comprising:

• a depth defining and air impermeable body having a two layer construction including an outer fabric layer overlaying an inner rubberized layer integrating a perimeter extending seal such that said body is adapted to overlay a wearer's mouth and nose;
• a plurality of air admittance valve subassemblies incorporated into locations along said body, each of said valve subassemblies having multiple resistance settings for affecting a degree of air flow into said mask in response to inhalation by the wearer;
• said valve subassemblies each further having a stem support an air passageway configured base mounted through said body in communication with said exterior and interior surfaces;
• a plurality of caps, each having a number of air apertures, a selected one of said caps affixing to each base of a selected valve subassembly, such that said caps are replaceably attached to establish variable total numbers of air flow permitting apertures;
• and
• straps extending from said body and including interior cutout configurations adapted for seating around and behind the wearer's ears, opposite end disposed and inter-engageable hook and loop fasteners securing about the wearer's head.
