DESCRIPTION

REUSABLE ANTIMICROBIAL MASK WITH FACIAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS AND SELF-DISINFECTION, CIRCULATION AND AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEMS, THAT ALLOWS INGESTING LIQUIDS

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention is comprised within the devices of respiratory protection masks and within the individual protection equipment, called PPE, for professional and / or personal use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Health authorities recommend the use of masks when there are risks of contagion or breathing of harmful or polluting elements for health. Medical professionals and users in general use masks to try to avoid contamination of the place, whether in hospitals, or in any other place such as closed places or places in the open air. A patient or individual infected by a virus, can cause contagion to other people, through the nasal and oral secretions of the carrier of the infection, which can be produced by the result that he simply talks, sneezes or coughs, among others. The masks usually protect the mouth, nose and mucosa of the user from splashes of body fluids, blood or others, but to be effective they must be self-filtering and must be discarded in most cases once used. In the case of the use of so-called surgical masks, these serve to reduce the expulsion of oral or nasal secretions by infected individuals, trying not to infect other individuals when the infected carrier uses them, but they do not serve at all to protect a patient. healthy user of contagions. In this case, this type of mask cannot protect against airborne pathogenic microorganisms, such as viruses. Likewise, allergic elements such as pollen particles or mites can be found in the air, in turn, different types of microorganisms, germs or bacteria can be found in the air, and polluting elements such as fumes, liquids or gases, which can penetrate most masks at through the gaps, wrinkles or lack of sealing or adjustment of these, since they are not ergonomic and watertight to the face of the wearer, as well as due to the inability of the material to filter the elements or pathogenic microorganisms.

Typical masks are made of fabrics or fabrics, which cannot be hermetically adapted to the wearer's face, because the fabrics used are not elastic or ergonomic, therefore it is impossible to achieve total contact with the skin of the user's face. and it cannot be avoided that there are open areas with gaps or wrinkles, between the face of the user of the mask and the mask itself, consequently, the nose or mouth of the wearer is exposed to microorganisms and these masks cannot offer total protection of the respiratory tract, that is, of the mouth and nose of the user.

Another problem with typical masks is that they fit either too loose, not protecting properly or too tight, causing discomfort. Some masks can be so loose and woven so flimsy that they move during head movements or common facial movements associated with speech, even moving with the wearer's breath and exhale. This requires the user to be forced to perform the mask readjustment and repositioning action, which is extremely dangerous to touch and re-fit the mask with possibly dirty or contaminated hands. Furthermore, contact of a mask with a gloved hand during a medical procedure is a violation of sanitary protocol, as the mask is not considered sterile and may contaminate the sterile glove or soiling or contamination of the mask itself by the gloves may occur. . The movement of the mask can be so significant that it partially blocks the ocular region, which can lead to a decrease in the field of vision and the exposure of the wearer's nose and / or mouth to pathogenic microorganisms.

The use of respiratory protection masks is in no way sufficient to avoid contagion, since viruses can penetrate through the eye area, that is why eye protection, glasses, face shields or cupolas must be used additionally, which act as a barrier and protect the user through a physical barrier, especially in the cases of medical professionals who must be within walking distance of infected people. These protective barriers act by avoiding direct contact, for example, of secretion or saliva caused by a patient's cough or sneeze, directly on the mask or glasses of the health worker or people in general, which makes a user at risk of contagion, must use at least two or more pieces, for respiratory and eye protection.

These protection elements are used additionally with the masks, each individual protection element (PPE) having to be placed one by one and separately, with different types of fastening all of them on the user's head. With the consequent discomfort that occurs when wearing them, since in the case of professional personnel, these protections can be worn for long working hours, not being comfortable and disturbing in each of the areas where they are held. In addition, as they are independent pieces of protection (PPE), they must each be placed in a position and do it in an alternative way, that is, first the mask and adjust it, secondly the glasses, having to adjust correctly and thirdly the face shield. and also adjust it correctly, to avoid that all of them move from the correct position or move independently of each other. These protection systems formed by different elements independent of each other, can cause a serious safety problem in the event that a professional or individual suffers a displacement or movement of one of the protection elements, imagine that once all the pieces have been placed independent protection devices, a displacement of the glasses occurs, the user must reposition them by manipulation, but for this the external element must be removed in this case the screen or the face shield, before performing this readjustment movement, the user must leave the If this is a high contagion area, remove gloves, wash hands, and replace equipment once more. In fact, the placement of the equipment (PPE) formed by independent elements, is really uncomfortable and requires time and effort to fix the elements correctly, it is also complicated and uncomfortable to remove the elements piece by piece, since after the working day, Greater care must be taken when removing parts that may be contaminated.

Typical masks include a body that covers the wearer's nose and mouth and one or two fixed tapes or straps, which are attached to the body and which the wearer must tie or adjust behind their head, or on their ears, to secure the fit. mask to your face. The fact of having two sets of fixed straps that are more or less elastic does not provide the masks with adaptability, since the wearer can place the straps according to their comfort and preference, and they may not be sufficiently elastic or they may not be in the right place. and this can generate, displacements unwanted mask, or as we have explained previously, there are gaps or wrinkles in the fit with the person's face. Also, some masks are attached to the user's ears, by means of two elastic loops, which are usually thin and have a standard measurement, this fastening system can cause a bad fit if it is too loose and does not have enough elastic tension due to the size of the wearer's head, the mask being able to fall downwards or being able to open at the bottom due to the lack of elastic tension, or the opposite could be the case, a larger size of the wearer's head, can create too much tension in the elastic support bands, which can even cause injuries behind the ears, due to the nature of the material of the adjustment band itself, as well as the high tension exerted, so the use of a mask with fixed rubber bands is not the most appropriate , safe, nor comfortable.

The adjustment systems of protective glasses are usually supported on the upper part of the ears, by means of "temples", in this case, the glasses cannot have a correct seal to the user's skin, therefore, the protection against Infection is only frontal, but it does not protect against the possible entry of viruses through the lateral areas and the contour of the eyes. In the case of hermetic protective glasses, they usually have an elastic strap as an adjustment that is placed behind the head of the user, having to place said elastic tape above or below the mask fastening rubbers, which means that to remove or reposition one of the pieces, the other has to be removed, producing an extra manipulation, something not recommended compared to prevention, since the prevention protocols advise that the least possible manipulation with the hands should be carried out and, if necessary, hands should be washed thoroughly prior to the m handling of PPE elements.

The adjustment systems of the face protection screens are usually plastic pieces or elastic bands that are placed around the user's head and are adjusted at the back. These positioning systems are usually uncomfortable, since if they are squeezed too much, the pressure that is exerted around the head and on the forehead is very annoying, in addition to the sweat that occurs on the user's forehead, it can cause discomfort, chafing and itching in the area, in addition to complicating the sweat-drying action during medical, surgical and / or professional work, if, on the contrary, the circular adjustment of the screen on the head is not tightened correctly, the screen may fall of the head by tilting the user or it can turn on itself due to movements, ceasing to protect the part front of the face.

A user, who must be properly protected against contagions, for example as in the case of health workers or other professionals, must wear at least three pieces of protection, a mask, glasses and a protective face shield, with their fixing elements. each of them tied or adjusted behind their head and around it, or even in their ears, each of these protection pieces are independent and must be placed in an orderly and independently, likewise and in the same order they must be removed. Being very cumbersome and uncomfortable to carry so many independent elements on the head for a long period of time and especially being very difficult, complicated and uncomfortable to prevent at least one of them from moving or moving, without having to move or remove another, to return to reset the one that had moved and vice versa. In short, a user with three pieces of protection on the head, must be continually aware of and concerned about the correct placement of each of them.

The usual masks cannot be reused, a mask usually lasts a single day, depending on the type of mask, some of them can be reused for several days or have very limited use, but most of them are not reusable once used they are easily dirty or contaminated, so discard them and use a new one. All this entails two problems, first the economic cost generated by the use of daily masks and second, the waste problem that occurs because they are disposable masks.

Likewise, the material with which protective masks are usually manufactured, do not allow washing, they are usually made of fabrics, fabrics or fibers that are not suitable for contact with water, soaps, detergents or disinfectants. In addition, they are not normally resistant to high disinfection temperatures, causing deterioration in the case of washing, leaving them useless.

In addition to masks, as explained above, users must wear goggles, or auxiliary protective screens, so as not to become contaminated or spread through the eyes. A common disadvantage of typical masks is that a wearer's goggles can fog up when vapor from the wearer's exhaled breath escapes through the fabric or material from which it is made, or condensation or vapor escapes from the top. of the mask and go up to the glasses or screen, because the masks are not fully adjustable to the skin, and they are not hermetically sealed in the contact area. This problem gets worse when there is a large space between the top of the mask and the wearer's face or when the user's breath passes through the top of the mask or through its tissue. To prevent fogging and reduce heat build-up in a typical mask, wearers often do not secure the bundle assembly tightly and allow steam to escape through the bottom of the mask, which is a serious problem of safety, they also have to carry out cleaning tasks of the glasses often, in order to see correctly through them, with the serious danger of handling the glasses with hands or gloves that may be contaminated.

The masks are divided into two groups, those for protection and those for medical treatments.

Those for protection are usually depending on the quality of filtering of one type or another and level of security and try to prevent an infected person from expelling microorganisms into the air along with remains of saliva or air that they exhale, as well as those with greater protection , try to prevent an individual from inhaling microorganisms through breathing.

On the other hand, there are medical treatment masks, these are designed to connect with assisted or artificial respiration machines, to perform respiratory treatments or for example to apply anesthesia, but there are no masks that are useful in both cases, that is, respiratory protection and valid for medical treatments, a protective mask cannot be used for medical treatments or vice versa.

There are different systems that generate air filtration or purification by different types of procedures, to increase the safety of the air that is inhaled by a person who must be protected, these electronic systems are usually machines that are placed in closed places such as They can be hospitals and operating rooms, these elements are not usually used in premises, or private homes and even less in open places, there are also systems of ultraviolet rays that are also used for disinfection, the masks do not have integrated and portable electronic devices, such as purifiers, air circulation or disinfection systems using germicidal ultraviolet light. Respiratory protection masks can cause problems of difficulty in breathing in people with respiratory problems, such as asthmatics, the density of the tissue or material with which they are made, can create a barrier that makes breathing difficult and the wearer of the mask must make an effort to breathe, not being able to adapt different types of filters to the needs of the user, filters that can offer a greater or lesser resistance to the breathing action. Likewise, the air breathed may be more or less stale, condensed or have a higher temperature, which makes breathing difficult, typical masks do not have refrigeration, circulation or electronic air renewal systems, which facilitate and help breathing, that evacuates the exhaled air and facilitates the entry of air to be inhaled, a system that makes the act of breathing easier, more pleasant and fresh.

Trying to achieve ergonomic adjustments, manufacturers have developed multiple shapes and sizes of masks, seeking that they fit in the best possible way to the dimensions, preferences and needs of all users. Typical masks range from those with flat parts that cover the wearer's nose and mouth, to those with a large contour cone and "duckbill" style, through the so-called "surgical" flat ones with an accordion shape, in There are many styles available on the market to try to adapt to a wide range of users, but they do not have a perfectly ergonomic fit to the face and none of them can integrate eye and face protection as a whole, or have integrated electronic systems that purify, clean, disinfect or refresh, the inhaled and exhaled air, likewise, they are not usually washable or reusable.

Another problem in the use of masks, are those derived from the action of drinking liquids, the respiratory protection masks must be removed from the face, leaving the mouth free, in order to drink liquids, this generates two safety problems, the first being manual manipulation of the action of removing the mask, for which prior to this action, the hands must be thoroughly washed and / or gloves removed, obviously during the time in which they are drinking with the mask removed, the user you are exposed to possible contagion by not having the protection in place. The second problem is the lack of hydration, since users with typical masks try to drink fewer times, so as not to have to manipulate the masks and remove them, therefore, and especially during long working hours, people may have problems with hydration. correct by fluid intake. The masks do not have safety valves that allow the entry of liquids.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mask that solves the disadvantages of a protection and imperfect fit, that is ergonomic and sealed in its contour so that it provides a good comfortable fit and without causing injury or discomfort to the skin, that is hypoallergenic, soft and soft in contact with the face and that offers safety against transmission and infections to users, both professionals and individuals and effective to avoid infections and being infected, which adapts to the possibility of placing different filters and respiratory systems, depending on the needs of the user and their exposure to contaminated environments. That they are more ecological and that they are not of a single use, that they are recyclable and that they reduce the amount of waste. That they are more economical in durability and in the reduction of filter materials, consequently that less filter cloth is needed for their manufacture.

That in turn protects the eye and / or facial area from possible infections in a single set, and may include protection from solar radiation for outdoor use. A mask that prevents fogging of glasses or face shields.

That it is not for single use and therefore is reusable, that it can be washed and / or disinfected.

That they are compatible with artificial respirators and suitable for medicinal treatments and therapies.

That they eliminate the different adjustments of several straps or tapes of each of the protection devices and therefore the mask, goggles and screen equipment can be placed and removed in a single gesture, having the same and unique adjustable adjustment system for all protection elements, preventing displacement or movement.

That it is preferably transparent and allows to see the user's gesturing expression, that allows lip reading for people who use this language, and facial recognition between people and electronic devices, increasing the safety of people and places.

That they have a safety valve that allows hydration or fluid intake in a safe way and without the need to remove the mask to drink. And finally, and of special importance, that it contains a system to help or improve respiration, by means of the extraction of air, steam and heat that is generated by exhaled or stale air, as well as helping respiration by helping extra air intake, which can clean and disinfect the air of the nearby atmosphere that is breathed and exhaled, as well as that they perform self-cleaning of filters by itself and thus allow elements to be removed pathogens from air filters and increase their durability.

. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The various advantages of the invention of the complete protection device. The mask of the invention has protruding supports or couplings in which different protection elements can be located, achieving a single and advanced set of complete protection.

Ergonomic and hermetic mask in its contour, reusable and washable, with replaceable air filters, with integrated and removable eye, face protection devices, it also has portable electronic systems for ventilation, circulation and / or air disinfection, such as fans and exhaust fans, ultraviolet light generators, or ion generators, among others, so this complete protection device overcomes the disadvantages of the typical masks mentioned above. In particular, this device provides the user with greater joint protection, both of the respiratory tract and of the ocular organs, increases comfort, eliminates the need to use various external protective elements attached to the head, facilitating its use and positioning and The removal of the PPE equipment is not carried out piece by piece, but rather the whole set is removed in a single movement, it eliminates the fogging of the glasses, compared to typical masks, the mask of the invention can be used as a treatment mask medical supplies, aerosol medication supplies and / or anesthesia among others, and is compatible to connect directly to automatic respirators. The mask also provides a better, comfortable and secure fit, avoiding movements of the mask or the integrated set.

Mask that has one or more external projections or couplings on its body, with any type of desired shape, preferably circular or oval, said projections being able to coincide with one or more inlet and outlet holes for inhaled and exhaled air, also said projections can be blind, intended to house some of the electronic components. Said external projections or couplings act as males and serve to couple, integrate, fix or hold by means of pressure, thread, or any other fixing element, different PPE protection systems, and / or electronic systems for ventilation, circulation and / or air disinfection, such as fans and air extractors, ultraviolet light generators, or ionizing air purifying generators among others.

one

These projections or supports allow the integration and placement of different types of air, gas, liquid and particle filters, different air filtration materials, such as the so-called HEPA filters, from paper filters, cloth, cardboard, fabrics, Nonwovens and other materials for such filtering, up to capsules containing disinfection and filtration elements, on different substrates and / or layers, can also be placed on said projections or supports.

Forming all this a complete and advanced set of personal protective equipment (PPE).

The mask of the invention is characterized by including different integrated and removable PPE systems for eye and / or facial protection, integrating these protection elements by coupling them to the protruding supports that the mask has for such use, remaining positioned on said supports. projections or couplings by means of pressure, thread or by means of any fixing support with the possibility of placing or removing them quickly and easily, according to the preferences or needs of the user at the appropriate time.

All this forming a single set, which is easily put on and removed in a single gesture, and which is kept in place by properly fixing the user by means of a single adjustment system, without causing discomfort and reducing the handling of the PPE components by part of the user, both to prepare for the placement of the protections, as well as to remove all the protections at once and with a single gesture, more comfortable, faster and safer.

The mask itself can integrate the desired or necessary protections, such as glasses, protective face shields or domes, among other types of protections, for example, glasses with sunscreen for outdoors or even prescription glasses. In this document, the term "integrated" is used to indicate a direct connection between two or more components or, where appropriate, an indirect connection between them through intermediate or auxiliary components forming a single set. The ability of this mask to be able to integrate the most suitable PPE protection equipment for the user, allows a quick and safe adaptation to the different situations and stages that may occur. In turn, the ability of the mask of the invention to be used alone or together with the necessary protections, does not imply a limitation of use, but being pieces that can be integrated together or easily removed, it allows quick and easy adaptation. of different PPE protection equipment, in addition the advantage of being able to easily disassemble the protection set allows the exchange between them in the case of having to renew them, replace them or simply to wash them separately. The integrated eye or face PPE protections can include a sealing member in their contour, adapting to the user's skin, preventing the entry of microorganisms into the eyes and / or face, producing total protection against contagions.

The present invention preferably has, and is not limited to, a single fastening system to the user's head for the entire set, safe, comfortable, elastic and / or adjustable, reducing and avoiding the use of different straps or fastening rubbers for each one. of the PPE elements. Being able to preferably consist of a single strap and if necessary with more than one fastening strip on the same strap or adjustment rubber. Normally and as we have explained previously, a user must place different fastening means on his head, the rubbers or straps of the masks, those of the glasses and those of the face shields, this makes a user have three or more elements fastening on his head, with the present invention all the fastening elements are reduced to just one, this fastening element is designed to support the mask to the user's head, as well as the entire set of eye and / or face protections .

Fastening system characterized by being a strap, elastic rubber or tape, which can be elastic, or adjustable, or tie, which has a specific shape at its ends, in which the fastening element has the matching or elastically adaptable shape with the external shape of the protruding supports or couplings, preferably having a ring made of the same material as the strap or fastening rubber, or a ring or washer of any material welded, glued, sewn or adhered in any way, ring that it fits into the corresponding recess to position itself by fixing around the contour of the projecting support or coupling of the mask body.

The protruding supports or attachments on the body of the mask can house different models of filters as explained. The filters are positioned in said projection supports or couplings by means of pressure, thread or by means of any fixing support. The mask can include one or more filters or different protection barrier panels, which are attached or integrated into the mask in place or in their places designed for such use, so the mask can have one or more couplings or projections, these projections may coincide with the air inlet and outlet gaps or they may be blind or closed projections, to house elements other than the air filters. The filters form a filtering barrier through the only area where air can exit and enter the mask, eliminates and blocks the exit of microorganisms through the exhalation of an infected user, completely preventing the exit or entry of contaminated air into the mask and only allowing entry and exit through the filter or safety filters.

It allows integrating or changing the filters according to the user's needs or preferences, filters of different layers or levels of filtering through the different types of materials used, from the so-called filters (HEPA) (from the English "High Efficiency Particle Arresting", or "High Efficiency Particle Collector" to the tissues and / or materials used for the masks called FFP1, FFP2, FFP3, or for example the N95 or surgical standard, among others.

In turn, it is a mask that reduces the amount of materials necessary for the manufacture of filters, conventional tissue filters used in the industry in the manufacture of typical masks or filters of natural origin can be used, with the advantage of significantly reducing the amount of Necessary filter cloth or fabric, since only the necessary amount would be used to cover the size of the protruding support through which breathing and exhalation take place, being more ecological since the mask of the invention can last for life.

These filters can be replaced in the mask and can also be easily dislodged.

The mask of the invention is characterized by being able to include or integrate in its protruding supports or couplings, one or more portable electronic systems that provide the user with greater security against contagions and harmful elements or microorganisms, as well as favor breathing and make it more pleasant and comfortable to wear the mask.

Mask characterized by being able to include or integrate one or more portable electronic elements to aid breathing, by means of micro-fans and micro-air extractors, with blades or with bladeless ventilation technology, these electronic devices are positioned on the projecting supports or couplings designed to house said devices in the body of the mask itself, once it has been placed or placed in place, by pressure, thread, or by any type of fixation. These fans and / or extractors are preferably integrated into the mask, in the same place where the filters are integrated, in this way, they help the user's breathing, facilitating the action of inspiring, through the assisted supply of air to inhale. and on the contrary, assisting in the extraction of exhaled air, thus generating an inlet and outlet of air that helps

one

greatly to breath. This system of assistance to better breathing, refreshes and facilitates breathing and extracts the vapors, heat and carbon monoxide generated by exhalation inside the mask, all of which results in comfortable, pleasant and safe breathing. since as we have explained, the air that is introduced or expelled by the fans or extractors.

Said electronic system can be integrated into the mask and can also be easily dislodged.

The mask of the invention is characterized by integrating one or more portable electronic systems that generate ultraviolet light, through the use of UVA or UVC-LED lamps, preferably and due to its tiny size, through the use of diodes called UVC-LED. , for disinfection equipment, with the required nanometers for germicidal action, and they are positioned on the protruding supports or couplings intended to house said devices in the body of the mask itself, once placed or placed in place, by pressure, thread , or by any type of fixation.

These ultraviolet light generators are preferably integrated into the mask, in the same place where the air inlet and outlet area is located, and where the filters are integrated, performing the self-disinfection of the filters and inhaled air and exhaled, extending the useful life of the filters significantly and increasing the protection against the air inhaled and exhaled by the user. These ultraviolet lights are effective in the rapid disinfection and elimination of microorganisms such as viruses, germs and bacteria among others, by exposure of ultraviolet light on surfaces, water and air.

Said ultraviolet light generator system is arranged and designed in such a way that it cannot direct the light towards the skin or eyes of the user of the mask, avoiding the exposure to the user of light, by means of an opaque protection piece in its contour, which It only allows the emission of light to the internal part of the system, this is directly to the air filters and the air inlet, having a reduced light beam power to the necessary distance where it must act.

Said electronic ultraviolet light system can be integrated into the mask and can also be easily dislodged.

The mask of the invention is characterized by integrating one or more external and portable fans, with blades or with bladeless ventilation technology and they are positioned on the protruding supports or couplings intended to house said devices in the body of the mask itself, a placed or placed in your place, by pressure, thread, or by any type of fixation.

This external and frontal fan creates an air current in the frontal area as a natural barrier to prevent the approach of microorganisms, viruses or particles to the user of the mask and causing them to be pushed out of reach of the user's face and of the breathing area, taking advantage of the microscopic size of the microorganisms as in the case of viruses, any particle exhaled by an infected person or any microorganism that is floating in the air, will be expelled by the air current produced by the or the front mask fans, a simple and effective way to maintain a cleaner breathing atmosphere in front of the user. Said electronic system can be integrated into the mask and can also be easily dislodged.

Mask characterized by being able to integrate a small volume air cleaning or purification system, an electronic air purifying device, preferably and non-limiting, based on a portable ionizer generator, which is positioned on the projecting supports or couplings intended to house said device in the body of the mask itself, once in place, by pressure, thread, or by any type of fixation.

The ionizing generator has as its main functions, among others, the active neutralization and elimination of dust, pollen, smoke, micro particles and microorganisms, by reducing particles in the air through the physical attraction between negative ions and positive charges. of micro particles and microorganisms, producing physical absorption, electrical neutralization and / or decomposition by chemical reactions, achieving sedimentation, decomposition and / or neutralization of the harmful element of the atmosphere near the mask, which is breathed, creating an atmosphere around the mask of purer, cleaner and fresher air, significantly reducing impurities in the air that is breathed by the user wearing the mask, increasing the health and safety of breathing, making it more comfortable and nice.

These electronic devices, like the previous ones, are small in size for integration into the mask, all of them have on and off buttons so that the user can activate or deactivate them when necessary or when desired, all of them contain a battery built-in that allows its use without the need to be connected to any electrical network during use, therefore being portable electronic systems integrated into the mask and can

one

use, for example and not limited to, a rechargeable USB line without having to remove it from the mask to recharge it, in addition, if necessary, it can be removed from the mask to clean or disinfect the mask, regardless of electronic devices.

Mask that is characterized by being able to have in the front part of the body, a small external security window that can be raised or lowered manually, by means of small rails or guides to release or cover a matching entry hole, preferably positioned in the part front to the mouth, to allow the entry of a tube or straw, which allows the user to drink or hydrate without having to remove the mask, likewise and for greater safety, the mask can be placed on the inside of the body and coincident With the inlet orifice, of a mechanical valve that only allows the entry of a tube or straw, closing mechanically as soon as the user removes the straw, so that the valve is actuated and opened, a relative external push pressure has to be made . The inner valve has sufficient tension force so that a user cannot activate the opening of the valve with the action of inspiration through the mouth or nose, thus maintaining the closure and protection against the entry of microorganisms,

Another embodiment of the valve can be by means of a piece, for example silicone, that is opened and closed by the pressure exerted by the elastic material of the valve, and can only be activated by a sufficient external pressure to open the inlet channel. This system and as explained above, would prevent the user of a mask from having to remove their protection to be able to carry out the action of drinking, especially in long periods of work or private use or when the heat, such as in summer periods, require increased and repeated body hydration based on water or any other liquid.

Mask that is characterized by being preferably manufactured in rigid or semi-rigid materials to achieve the support and hold of the elements integrated in the projecting supports or couplings.

Mask that is characterized by being manufactured in a waterproof material that does not allow the transfer of external elements, in turn the material with which the body of the mask is manufactured, is an antibacterial and antimicrobial material, preferably and not limiting, under the microbicidal action of elements such as silver nitrate or silver microparticles, which is achieved by adding these silver microparticles in the manufacturing process, resulting in,

one

that the body of the mask itself inactivates the viruses that are exposed to the surface of the mask, so it is disinfected by itself. Mask that has a border of soft and smooth material, suitable for contact with the skin and hypoallergenic, which offers a correct seal to the user's face, not damaging the skin avoiding friction, cuts, wounds, irritation and marks on the skin as well as avoiding allergic reactions, increasing comfort and comfort during use, also this soft material suitable for contact with the skin, prevents the rigid or semi-rigid and antimicrobial material of the body of the mask from being in contact direct with the user's skin. The soft sealing material ensures effective protection against viruses and other microorganisms without leaving gaps between the mask and the face, to prevent the entry and exit of microorganisms from the respiratory tract or into the respiratory tract, avoiding contagion by inhalation and / or exhalation. Forming a barrier that eliminates and blocks the exit of microorganisms through the exhalation of an infected carrier, likewise and in the opposite direction, a healthy user, who breathes, will not be able to inspire microorganisms, since the watertight perimeter barrier and the impermeable material of the mask, it will prevent the transfer of microorganisms, allowing only the entry of clean air, through the filter or safety filters, completely avoiding the exit or entry of contaminated air into the mask.

As it is a mask with a watertight seal in its contour with the user's face, the mask of the invention is designed to be able to be connected to the protruding supports or couplings of the mask through which breathing and exhalation is carried out with the tubes or components. of assisted breathing machines, artificial respiration and / or with elements of medical respiratory treatments, as well as anesthesia systems and others such as the air filters used by breathing machines. Being able to use said mask for medical treatments of the patient-user himself, without having to change his own mask, simply by means of the direct connection of the mask to the connector tubes of the respirators or aerosol medical treatment machine.

The PPE protections integrated or coupled to the mask can have a sealing member, preventing the entry of microorganisms into the eyes, producing total protection against contagions. The mask itself makes it a sealed and / or watertight mask in the perimeter area avoiding the transmission of vapor through the upper part of the mask, this configuration eliminates the vapor from the wearer's exhaled breath so that it does not escape from the mask and I know fog up the eye-face protection elements of the set.

Mask preferably manufactured and non-limiting, in transparent materials to facilitate visual language through facial expression gestures, enable lip reading for deaf-mute people or those who use this language and also facilitate facial recognition, both between people, and facial recognition of optical cameras, such as security cameras or cameras for unlocking screens of phones or different devices. As it is a transparent mask, the face of the mask wearer can be perfectly seen through it, avoiding the security problems generated by the use of opaque masks in places that must be guarded, such as banks, jewelry stores, airports. , and else.

Reusable mask together with all protection components and removable in its entirety, to facilitate individual cleaning. Materials that allow washing with disinfection products, waterproof and submersible, resistant to high temperatures for disinfection by heat and equally resistant to other disinfection treatments through, for example, the application of ozone or exposure to ultraviolet rays, among others.

user's head.

Figure 6 shows the mask of the invention in profile, with integrated filter 6 and with integrated face shield 13, forming a single PPE protection set and all held together by a single strap or fastening rubber 15a and the ring 25.

Figure 7 shows the mask of the invention in profile, with integrated filter 6 and with integrated face protection dome 17, with a sealing rim made of soft material 18, which allows the perfect fit and watertight seal to the contour of the user's face.

Figure 8 shows the placement of the electronic systems 7a and 7b to aid the respiration of the mask user, positioning these in the projections or couplings of the mask 3, placed after positioning the filters 6. The electronic system 7a deals with a Micro or small fan, which once in place and in operation, extracts the exhaled air of the user from the inside of the mask, extracting with the air, the steam and the heat that is generated on exhalation. In the case of 7b, it deals with the same electronic system, but with the fan inverted, in this case, the electronic system does not extract the air but instead introduces it inside the mask, facilitating breathing and helping the inhalation of air. , be easier and more comfortable.

Figure 9 shows an example 1 of the body of the mask of the invention seen from the front with the air filters 6 placed on the projections 3, with the protection system by front ventilation 9 and with a system for disinfecting the filters and the Inhaled and exhaled air 8 which is made up of germicidal ultraviolet light LED lamps or diodes, once placed in the couplings 3 and in operation, they emit ultraviolet light to the area where the filters 6 are located and therefore in the entry area and air outlet.

Figure 10 shows another example of the mask of the invention, in which the filters 6 have been integrated, the air extraction fan 7a and the air introduction fan 7b also integrated. Likewise, an electronic ionizer generator system 19 has been integrated in the frontal area, with the function of keeping the atmosphere close to the mask cleaner and with fewer harmful particles or microorganisms.

Figure 11 shows the mask 1 with the sealing rim 2, and with two positioning projections 3, in which the generic air filters 20 and the tubes 21 of the artificial or assisted respiration or medical treatment machines can easily be attached, being the mask of the invention compatible with respirators

two
