Abstract

COLD WEATHER FACE MASK

Abstract A mask member is made from a thin, rubber, cloth-like material. The mask member is sized and shaped to fit about the face to extend rearward from the face to about the left and right ear areas and to extend in length from an upper edge to a lower edge The upper edge extends along a line between the cheekbone area below the temples, along the lower part of the eye sockets, contouredly over the bridge of the nose, The mask member is unitarily formed with a nose piece contoured to fit over the nose. The nose piece together with the face mask are shaped to form a breathing aperture for the nostrils.
A seam extends from below the nose piece downward to act as a front edge. The seam extends convexly from below the nose to the chin area to form a pocket for the lips and air, and arcuately inward under the chin to the lower edge. The seam selectively forms a channel in communication with the pocket.
Aperture means are formed in the mask member proximate the mouth for breathing and speech. Securing means are adapted to the mask member to secure the mask in place.

Description

~13~

B~ckgrou~d of t~e ~nvent on ~ eld: This inven~ion relates to cold weather apparel, In partioul~r, this invention provîdes for a cold weather face mask particularly .suita~le for use ~y skiersO
State of the Art: A variety of protective facial masks or cold ~eather masks are ~nown, For example, U~SO Patent No~ 766?963 Q~lurra~ sho~s a muffler, U,S, Patent No~ 731,135 CScott~ shows a different type of neck and ear mechanism~
UqS~ Patent NoO 2~276,612 CEllis~; 2,573,537 CBoufard) and 3~768~100 CColman~ all show other fo~ms or types of neck and f~ce protective wear, ~ ~ 3~ ~ ~ 3 T}~e facial protective wear heretofore kno~l? such as t~ose disclosed in the a~ove-reerenced pate~ts7 all seek to provide insula~ion and protection against cold weather and wind in coordination with other apparel worn b~ the user2 For example the patent to Murray s~ows straps passing over the top of the head to pro~ide a means of securing and holding the muffler device in place without interferring with the wearing of a hat. The patent to Scott discloses a device w~ich extends- down below the chin into the coat to further provide protection against cold weather elementsi The devices d~sclosed i~ the a~ove-identified patents, as well as other items ~hich are ava~la~le on the market, do not effectivel~ integrate t~emselves with present da~ apparel typicall~ used in t~he outdoor winter environmen~, Furt~er, the dev~ces heretofore known do not take into account certain inherent ~iological considerationsg such as ~ater vapo~ in the ~reath of the user and a tendency of that ~ater vapor to condense out on the mask -~
~n t~e vicinit~ of the mouth and freeze, That is, toda~ a knitted cap is readily availa~le on the market w~ich totally surrounds the head~ ~t ~as apertures for the eyes and for the mout~. In use~ the water vapor in the breath tends to condense on the edges of the aperture provided for t~e mouth and tends to -freezeO. The condensed water vapor ma~ cause itching and if it freezes extreme discomfort to the user, Frozen water ~apor cicel may touch the skin causing substantial deterioration of the effectiveness of the mask, Further, knitted masks of the type just described, as well as other masks such as those hereinabove disclosed, are fabricated from conventional cloths, materials which do not adequately insulate or protect against windO l~ind can in fact penetrate through knitted materials~
as well as other closer woven mate~ials~

~3~3 Therefore, in accordance with the present invention there is provided a cold weatner face mask comprised of a mask member made of a thin rubber cloth type material which is sized and shaped to flt about the face to extend in width rearward from the face to about the left and right ear areas and to extend in length from an upper edge to a lower edge. The upper edge extends along a line extending between the cheekbone area below the temples and along the lower part of the eye socket areas contouredly over the bridge of the nose. The mask member is unitarily formed with a nose piece which angulates outwardly and downwardly at an angle to proximate the angulation of the nose, the nose piece being contoured to fit over the nose and being sized in length to extend from the upperedqe to about the tip of the nose. The mask member has a middle edge in the area above the upper lip which extends essentially the width of the nose piece and which together with the nose piece forms a breathing aperture for the nostrils. The mask member has a seam joined by means which acts as a front edge to extend convexly from the middle edge to a chin area to form a pocket for the lips ana air, and from the chin area arcuately inward under the chin to the lower edge to selectively form a channel ~n communication with the pocket.
The mask member has aperture means formed therein proximate the mouth for breathing and speaking, and securing means adapted to the mask member to secure the mask member to the face of a user~
