Definitions

  • Face masks such as surgical or “N95” masks
  • surgical or “N95” masks are used by medical personnel, first responders, construction workers, and the like to filter airborne particles and contaminants.
  • an N95 mask is designed for a close facial fit around a mouth and nose of a wearer to filter at least 95 percent of extremely small (0.3 micron) particles.
  • a surgical mask is a looser fitting mask that does not form as tight of a seal around the nose and mouth as an N95 mask.
  • a drawback to most surgical, N95, and similar disposable masks is that the strings or cords that typically attach behind a wearer’s ears or behind the wearer’s head to hold a mask against the wearer’s face can easily break or detach from a mask. Moreover, simply removing the mask once or twice for any reason then re-stretching the cords to re-don the mask can break the cords. This conventional arrangement leads to excessive cord breakage and requires an inordinate amount of mask replacements. This is particularly detrimental if masks are in short supply or in an emergency situation when there is no time to repair the only available mask or to locate a replacement. [0004] Another drawback to conventional masks arises when stretching mask cords around the ears or over the back of the head.
  • the present disclosure is directed in general to face masks that are simple to wear and remove without cord breakage, reduce hair entanglement, and can be adorned with various functional items and aesthetically pleasing decorations or ornaments to comfort, for instance, young or anxious patients.
  • the face masks are simple to make, easy to use, and can accommodate personal preferences and customization.
  • a face mask may include a string or cord detachably connectable to a cover material having a first layer and a second layer.
  • a cavity or pocket may be formed between the first and second layers, and a first magnet may be placed in the pocket.
  • the pocket may be located near an attachment area on the cover material where an end of the cord attaches.
  • the end of the cord may include a complementary piece of metal or an opposing second magnet configured for detachable connection to the first magnet.
  • a metallic ornament can be magnetically attached to the piece of metal or the first magnet to decorate the face mask.
  • metal fabric can be sewn into fabric of a face mask or between a first layer and a second layer of the face mask.
  • a metal strip or a metal component can be attached to a cord or string of the face mask to hold the mask against a face of a wearer.
  • Magnetic jewelry can be attached to the metal fabric and to the metal strip or component of the string. Once the useful life of the face mask is complete, the magnetic jewelry can be detached and re-used to decorate another mask.
  • a mask may be provided with flaps or covers having magnets or metal components to allow for a user to open an aperture over or near a mouth of the user in order to, for instance, sip liquid from a straw without having to remove the mask.
  • the flap can be reconnected to the mask by mating the magnet or metal component in the flap to a respective metal component or magnet embedded in a pocket of the mask.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a front perspective view of one embodiment of a mask according to the disclosure, particularly showing a metallic ornament attracted to a magnet shown in phantom embedded in the mask;
  • FIGURE 2 shows side elevational view of an embodiment similar to FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a front elevational view of a mask similar to the embodiments in FIGURES 1 and 2, particularly showing multiple metallic decorations held against respective magnets (shown in phantom) embedded in the mask;
  • FIGURE 4A is another embodiment of a mask, particularly showing metallic and magnetic arrangements on face straps that magnetically attach to respective magnets or metal inserts in the mask;
  • FIGURE 4B shows an exploded plan view of the embodiment of FIGURE 4A, particularly showing layers of the mask, a pouch with magnets therein, and one of the face straps with magnets or metallic ends;
  • FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment according to a further aspect of the disclosure, particularly showing an N95-type mask with embedded magnet and metallic ornament attached thereto as well as detachable flap through which a user may sip a drink or eat a bit of food.
  • each of the terms is defined consistent with the common United States patent law definition of “comprising” and is therefore interpreted to be an open term meaning “at least the following,” and is also interpreted not to exclude additional features, limitations, aspects, etcetera.
  • a device having components a, b, and c means that the device includes at least components a, b, and c.
  • the phrase: “a method involving steps a, b, and c” means that the method includes at least steps a, b, and c.
  • the exemplary mask 10 may include an interior layer of material or first surface 12 and an exterior layer or second surface 14 to which one or more straps, cords, or strings 16 are affixed or connected.
  • a pocket or pouch 18 is formed between the interior layer 12 and the exterior layer 14, and a magnet 20 is placed into the pouch 18 (both shown in phantom for clarity).
  • An ornamental and/or functional metallic or magnetic item or decoration 22 may be connected to the magnet 20 via magnetic attraction through the exterior layer 14.
  • the layers 12, 14, and the mask 10 as a whole may be made from non-woven fabric for bacteria filtration and air permeability.
  • the material used to make the non-woven fabric may be polypropylene at 20 or 25 grams per square meter (GSM) in density.
  • GSM grams per square meter
  • the mask 10 can also be made of polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, or polyester.
  • the mask 10 may include additional layers or only one layer of necessary thickness.
  • the pouch 18 may be made from the same or similar material layers 12, 14 and formed therewith as a unitary item. Alternatively, the pouch 18 subsequently can be affixed to the mask 10, for instance, by sewing the pouch 18 to either surface 12, 14 or by use of an adhesive.
  • an exemplary opening or aperture 24 can be provided in the pouch 18 in which the magnet 20 can be easily inserted and removed at the end of the serviceable life of the mask 10.
  • FIGURE 1 shows only one substantially square shaped pouch 18 and one correspondingly square-shaped magnet 20 (both in phantom for clarity), the disclosure is not limited to these shapes, and more than one pouch 18 and magnet 20 can be provided as will be described further below.
  • the magnet 20 can be a simple metallic object if the item 22 is magnetized, or both components 20, 22 can be magnetic.
  • each exemplary mask 10 may include the previously introduced interior layer of material 12 and the exterior layer 14 to which the straps, cords, or strings 16 are affixed or connected.
  • the pocket 18 may be formed between the interior layer 12 and the exterior layer 14, or the pocket 18 may be a separate component attached mechanically or by adhesives to one of the layers 12, 14, usually the interior layer 12.
  • a user may insert the magnet or metal piece 20 into the pouch 18 via the slot 24.
  • the ornamental metallic or magnetic decoration 22 may then be connected to the embedded magnet 20 via magnetic attraction through the exterior layer 14.
  • FIGURE 4 A shows components of a face mask 110 according to a further embodiment.
  • the face mask 110 is an exemplary surgical mask that may include an interior layer of material or first surface 112 and an exterior layer or second surface 114 to which one or more straps, cords, or strings 116 are affixed or connected.
  • One or more pockets or pouches 118 are formed between the interior layer 112 and the exterior layer 114.
  • the cord 116 may include an embedded metallic thread 130.
  • One or more magnets 120 may be placed into the respective pouches 118 via openings 124 that may include Velcro ® -type, snap, or flap closures.
  • One or more ornamental or functional and metallic or magnetic decorations 122 may be connected to the magnets 120, the metallic fabric 128, and/or the metallic thread 130 via magnetic attraction to decorate the face mask 110 according to a user’s preference.
  • the straps 116 may include magnetic or metallic ends 126 that can be connected to the magnets 120.
  • the mask 110 can be easily removed and donned by disconnecting the metallic ends 126 to/from the magnets 120 without straining or tearing the strings 116 and with less hair pulling.
  • FIGURE 4B shows a partial, exploded view of portions of the mask 110 as in FIGURE 4A.
  • one of the pockets 118 as in FIGURE 4A is shown formed between the interior layer 112 and the exterior layer 114.
  • One or more of the magnets 120 is shown inserted in the pocket 118 to receive the metallic ends 126 of the cord 116.
  • the mask 110 may include a third layer 128 that may be a metallic or magnetic fabric to attract the ends 126.
  • the ends 126 are metallic in this example and the magnets 120 are magnetic, the disclosure is not limited to this arrangement as the ends 126 could be magnets and the components 120 could be metallic, or a combination thereof.
  • the exemplary mask 210 may be of the N95 variety and include an interior surface 212 and an exterior surface 214 to which one or more straps, cords, or strings 216 are affixed or connected.
