  • a twisting arrangement between base and cover portions may be employed to selectively open and close the apertures 205, or a separate shutter mechanism disposed between the base and cover portions may be used to adjustably cover the apertures 205.
  • the sliding top cover arrangement of Figs. 2A-2E is just one possible selective closing mechanism.
  • a user puts on the face mask 101 with the scent carrier 200 already inserted into the first receiving portion 150 and then is able to move sliding portion 210 so as to adjust the level of vapor and/or scent being emitted through apertures 205 while the face mask 101 is in place. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that this enables a user of the face mask to more comfortably manage the effects that the scented pad or vapor may have. Also, the selective closing mechanism, such as sliding portion 210, may be moved to completely cover apertures 205 so as to eliminate or reduce any scent release to allow for storage of scent carrier 200 during periods of nonuse.
  • the carrier can also be used to deliver vapor, medication or aromatherapy materials and the like without departing from the spirit of this invention. Also, when using the face mask assembly 100, the user may selectively use one or both of the scent carrier and thermal ballast 300.
