Appl. No.:

17/555816

Inventors:

- West Columbia SC, US
Michael J. Piatt - Springboro OH, US

International Classification:

A62B 18/08
A62B 23/02
A41D 13/11

Abstract:

A planar continuous elongated ring configured to engage a filtration textile to a nose-mouth perimeter of a user, said continuous elongated ring including an upper curvilinear portion adapted to engage said filtration textile disposed about a nasal periphery of the user; said upper curvilinear portion including a pair of attachment features adapted to fastenly receive an upper support strap configured to engage the user's head, and a lower curvilinear portion adapted to engage said filtration textile disposed about a mouth periphery of the user, the lower curvilinear portion including a pair of attachment features adapted to fastenly receive a lower support strap configured to engage the user's head. Another embodiment of the present invention includes a kit comprising at least one planar continuous elongated ring and other related items.

International Classification:

A41D 13/11
A62B 23/02

Abstract:

The present invention relates to active respiratory protective face shield systems. More specifically, the present invention is directed to face shield systems comprising a substantially transparent lens having an upper visual chamber and a lower breathing chamber. The protective face shield systems have a generally open design so to not substantially contact the user's face. The lens configured to cover at least the user's nose and mouth. An input filter system module provides a positive pressure environment to a breathing chamber by the delivery of filtered air. The positive pressure is of sufficient magnitude so to produce an air barrier for substantially preventing environmental contamination, e.g., particulate matter, microorganisms, and the like, from entering the breathing chamber. Alternate embodiments further include an output filter system module for the evacuation and substantial filtration of the user's exhalation air to surrounding environment.

Appl. No.:

17/323697

Inventors:

Michael J. Piatt - Springboro OH, US

International Classification:

A62B 18/00
A62B 18/02

Abstract:

An active respiratory filtration system that provides a continuous flow of filtered air to a face mask, covering the nose and mouth of the user. The forced air is directed into the inner volume of the face mask, creating a positive pressure which yields several advantages, including: reducing user inhalation, reducing heat built-up within the face mask's inner volume, help overcome face mask perimeter seal breach issues. Some embodiments include the use of pliable mask filters, enabling the filtration of exhalation air from the user to the environment, thereby protecting others. Other embodiments include at least one check valve integrated into the face mask, thereby reducing the user exhalation effort. The system is configured to be compact, light-weight and portable.

Inventors:

Timothy John Hawryschuk - Miamisburg OH, US
Michael Joseph Piatt - Dayton OH, US
Harsha S. Bulathsinghalage - Miamisburg OH, US
Randy Dae Vandagriff - Xenia OH, US

International Classification:

B41J 2/165

US Classification:

347 32

Abstract:

Condensation control systems are provided for use with inkjet printing systems that use a combination of higher resistance flow areas and lower resistance flow areas to allow a vaporized carrier fluid reducing airflow to flow between a printing module and a receiver during printing without creating observable artifacts in a print. Removal of the vaporized carrier fluid reduces condensation.
