Abstract

The present invention discloses a personal respiratory protective device (10), which comprises an upper panel (18), a central panel (16) and a lower panel (20), the central panel (16) passes through a first folding part (36), a The seam, weld (76) or bond and the second fold (36), seam, weld (76) or bond are separated from each of the upper panel (18) and the lower panel such that The device can be folded flat along the first fold (36), seam, weld (76) or bond and the second fold (36), seam, weld (76) or bond for storage and capable of being opened in use to form a cup-shaped air chamber over the wearer's nose and mouth, wherein the lower panel (20) comprises a rigid sheet (40) with longitudinal folds Crease lines wherein the rigid sheet (40) is folded about longitudinal crease lines when the device is in use.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to personal respiratory protection devices, known as respirators or masks, which are capable of being folded flat during storage and forming cup-shaped air chambers over the mouth and nose of the wearer during use. Background technique [0002] Filtering respirators or face masks are used in a wide variety of applications when it is desired to protect a person's respiratory system from inhalation of airborne particles or unpleasant or noxious gases. Generally, such respirators or masks can come in a variety of forms, but the two most common forms are a molded cup form or a flat-fold form. The advantage of the flat-fold format is that it can be carried in the wearer's pocket until needed, and fold flat again between wears to keep the interior clean. [0003] Such respiratory devices include, for example, respirators, medical masks, cleanroom masks, face shields, dust masks, respirators and various other face coverings. ...
