Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a respirator, and particularly to a foldable respirator.
  • Filtration respirators have been widely used to protect wearers' respiratory systems.
  • filtration respirators can be classified into two types, which are cup type and fold-flat type.
  • One of the advantages of fold-flat type respirators is convenience, as a wearer can carry a fold-flat type respirator by storing the respirator into a pocket. When the wearer needs to use the fold-flat type respirator, the wearer just unfolds the respirator.
  • a fold-flat type respirator is more flexible than a cup type respirator, which has a rim configured in a fixed shape. As a result, when wearing a fold-flat type respirator, the fold-flat type respirator fits each particular face structure of different wearers better than a cup type respirator does.
  • NIOSH certifies three levels of filter efficiency, which are 95%, 99%, and 99.97%.
  • the filter efficiency of a respirator reaching a high level, if the fit of a respirator is poor, a wearer still inhales contaminants through the gap between the face and the respirator. Therefore, the fit of a respirator is as important as the filter efficiency of a respirator.
  • U.S. Pat. No.6123077 of 3M Innovative Properties Company discloses a flat-folded personal respiratory protection device, which is one-piece or composed of three individual members; thus the personal respiratory protection device will be a 3d structure after being unfolded.
  • the first member and the second member of the personal respiratory protection device cover nose and chin of a wearer respectively in order to fit the wearer's face tightly.
  • Fig.9 and Fig.10 when a wearer opens the mouth widely, the distance from the wearer's nose to chin increases from X1 to X2.
  • the personal respiratory protection device 90 has a length from top 91 to bottom 92, which is constant and is slightly longer than or equal to X1.
  • the distance from the nose to the chin is X2, which is longer than X1; thus the chin will drag the personal respiratory protection device 90 and may further expose the nose, leading to the poor fit of the personal respiratory protection device 90 with the face, higher leak rate, and reduction of protection efficiency.
  • T.W. Pat. No.I1321056B1 also provides a fold-flat type respirator, which is an integral whole, and the integral whole is composed of an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion. Multiple creases arranged in a step shape are formed on the central portion. When the multiple creases are unfolded, the effective filtration area increases. However, the lack of proper supporting structure for two sides of each crease will cause the central portion to distort and collapse due to some force such as the wearer's breathing airflow. As a result, the distorted fold-flat type respirator still fits the face poorly, leading to higher leak rate and reduction of protection efficiency.
  • the present invention provides a foldable respirator to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
  • the main objective of the present invention is to provide a foldable respirator, particularly, a foldable respirator that is not dragged by a wearer's chin when a wearer opens the mouth widely, and therefore avoids exposing the nose.
  • the foldable respirator does not distort or collapse easily due to force, and thus improves the fit of the respirator with the face, reduces leak rate and has high protection efficiency.
  • the foldable respirator of the present invention comprises:
  • the present invention when the wearer makes mouth movements while wearing the present invention, due to the folded member extending from the central region, the present invention will not be dragged by the chin, and the central region will not distort and collapse while the wearer is breathing, and thus the present invention has a good fit with the face, reduces leak rate and provides high protection efficiency
