Definitions

  • a compartmentalized facemask for prolonged wearing is an innovation which, within the state of the art, provides advantages over the currently marketed facemasks.
  • the compartmentalized facemask for prolonged wearing allows the air inside the facemask to be compartmentalized, separating the air from the nose and the air from the mouth, to improve various aspects of prolonged use of the facemask.
  • This invention is particularly motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the use of facemasks.
  • the invention allows the separation of air from the nose and mouth with several benefits over the existing state of the art: separating the air already breathed from the air to be breathed, reducing the sensation of suffocation during nasal and mixed breathing, and decreasing the accumulation of exhaled condensed air in lenses and other accessories.
  • the present invention has its field of application within the sector of protective facemasks, within the group of protective clothing and its accessories.
  • facemasks are widespread throughout the population, following the spread of COVID-19, and using it to protect against viruses.
  • the object of the present invention is the creation of a compartmentalized facemask for long exposure that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current technical state of the art, with the characteristic details that make this possible being included in the final claims that accompany the present description.
  • the compartmentalized facemask for long exposure consists of a facemask, a divider transverse to the facemask, arranged to divide the internal part of the facemask, the part in touch with the face, into two compartments.
  • the divider which will generally be made of a waterproof and breathable material, conforms to the contour of the wearer's face; the facemask is adjusted to the contour of the wearer's face and head by means of an elastic adjustment element passing over the back of the wearer's head or behind the ears or by the use of a deformable plastic element of metallic material, polymer or combination thereof, with shape memory.
  • the divider generally waterproof and breathable, allows effective separation of inhaled and exhaled air by mouth and nose in mixed breathing, offering advantages in nasal breathing. This is why the compartmentalized facemask is a remarkable innovation compared to current state of the art.
  • the object of the present invention is a compartmentalized facemask for prolonged wearing, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application, with the characteristic details that make it possible being conveniently included in the claims.
  • the compartmentalized facemask for prolonged wearing consists of a facemask (1), a divider (2) transversal to the facemask (1), in such a way that it divides the inside of the facemask (1) into two compartments.
  • the divider (2) adjusts to the contour of the user's face, thanks to an adjustment element (3) that has an elastic-type contour, wrapping around this adjustment element (3) and passing over the back of the user's head or behind the ears.
  • the divider (2) enables and separates the appropriate space for mouth air and nose air.
  • the divider (2) is made of a waterproof and breathable material.
  • the divider (2) is sewn to the facemask (1).
  • the divider (2) is attached to the facemask (1) by chemical or mechanical adhesive means, e.g. Velcro.
  • the divider (2) is adapted to the contour of the wearer's face by means of a semi-rigid, shape-memory deformable material, such as a metal wire or plastic.
  • the adjustment element (3) is not exclusive to the divider (2) and forms part of the facemask (1) itself, exerting its tension and adjustment effect on both elements: the facemask (1) and the divider (2).
