Abstract

A foldable respirator includes a respirator body (10) and a band (20) connected to the respirator body (10). The respirator body has an upper part (12) (12), a lower part (13) and a central part (11) that is between the upper part (12) and the lower part (13). The central part (11) has a central region (111) and a folded member extending from the central region (111). Due to the folded member extending from the central region (111), the respirator body (10) will avoid being dragged by the chin and the central region (111) will not distort or collapse easily while a wearer makes mouth movements, and thus the foldable respirator provides a good fit with the wearer's face, reduces leak rate and provides high protection efficiency.
