Description

DESCRIPTION

SANITARY FACIAL PROTECTOR

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The face shield is the perfect union of two known elements in a way that provides several advantages that were previously unknown.

It offers the greatest possible protection to personal protective equipment against viruses, bacteria, toxic and harmful products, as well as small fragments of matter and vermin that can affect the respiratory and ocular tracts.

The present invention relates to a face shield provided with novel elements that allow a suitable connection to a hygienic, surgical, ffp2, etc. mask.

The invention is in the field of sanitary protection, more specifically in the sector of personal protective equipment called PPE.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently there is no instrument that encompasses in a single piece a visor or facial protection with a cloth mask or similar, either disposable, homemade mask, hygienic, surgical, ffp2, etc.

Previously, different inventions have been patented aimed at protecting our eyes and face from different elements such as gravel, metal chips, wood, insects, etc., just as different inventions were made to protect our respiratory system from gases, viruses, bacteria, harmful products that can affect us.

After examining the different masks it has been concluded that they are highly protective but overwhelming, and They usually use filters or autonomous ventilation systems such as those used in bacteriological warfare, paint booths, firefighters, etc., in addition to being expensive.

Face shields do not fully protect against chemical agents, so they are usually used in conjunction with hygienic, surgical, ffp2, etc. masks. to provide greater protection. On the other hand, masks tend to cause drowning, shortness of breath, excessive sweating around the mouth and nose, causing wounds on the skin as well as on the ears caused by the elastic. In addition, many people in these times of pandemic in which we have to wear the mask every time we go out on the street wear it under the nose, on the chin, at the neck, and even on the wrist, others They directly take them off and store them in their pocket, losing many of their qualities and can be a point of contagion by itself due to its misuse.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of unifying the face shield and the mask in a single instrument, by means of the use of lug-type or similar fastening means. To do this, the face shield has on its inner perimeter some plates to give it rigidity, and on said plates there are lugs or other means of fastening by which a mask is held, whether it is disposable or reusable, of the hygienic, surgical type , ffp1, or another similar by using the elastic with which these masks come.

If the screen were thick enough that it would not deform, it would not be necessary to use the aforementioned plates.

To the already known advantages of the screens and of the masks separately, the comfort has been increased, since the mask can be adjusted to the face without hardly touching it, since the pressure of this against the face can be adjusted keeping fully in contact the mask with the face or to be able to separate it a little from the nose, mouth and chin, improving the feeling of well-being of the individual at all times, by drastically reducing the feeling of suffocation and better ventilation.

By anchoring the rubber of the mask to the lugs or other means of fastening the screen, we release the ears and do not cause any pressure, discomfort or injury. Likewise, if we wish, we can use the screen or the mask separately, maintaining the intrinsic qualities of each one.

If we use a folding screen, when lifting it, the mask goes with it, leaving the mouth and nose completely free, having a normal breathing, without having to touch the mask or infect it.

There are many people who when they do not need to wear the mask, they put it on their chin, neck, wrist or keep it directly in their pocket, with the danger that this entails of contaminating the mask.

With the proposed invention, the contact of the hands with the mask is minimal, limiting in many cases to the act of putting on and taking off.

Another great advantage is that it can extend the useful life, for example, of hygienic and surgical masks, since they have a recommended use life of 4 hours of continuous use. Most people leave the house wearing a mask and don't take it off until they return. With the invention with a folding screen it is possible to bring the screen up

and therefore the mask when it is not really necessary, and lower it when it is really necessary, for example when entering a store and when leaving, saving time of use and relief.

Furthermore, it becomes very difficult for the saliva droplets to impact against the mask, lengthening its effectiveness.

It adapts to all types of faces, because if when placing the mask on the lugs or other means of fastening it stays under the nose, only the rubber bands of the mask have to be moved so that it changes position and rises to the desired position until it reaches the nose.

Preferably, a folding screen should be used and the sides reinforced with a rigid or semi-rigid plate of appropriate material, although if the screen were thick enough to allow it not to deform, the use of these plates would not be necessary.

This screen has an indeterminate number of lugs, it is preferable that they be four, and that they are located at an equidistant distance from the center of the screen, these may be held by any joining system, screwed, welded, glued, shaped, etc. and have regular and irregular shapes both internally and externally, being convenient that in the internal part, where the mask tape is held, there are two circles of different diameter where the smallest is closest to the sheet that makes of screen and that the outer part is of greater diameter to avoid that the rubber of the mask comes out.

The most improved way to carry out the invention is to form the screen of plastic, PVC or a transparent material by extrusion into a mold in which they already come out

the lugs or other fastening means are integrated into the screen to later be able to anchor the rubber bands of the masks to them.
