Abstract:
A wearable air filtration apparatus configured to fit beneath a full-face helmet is disclosed. The apparatus includes a front plate including an output aperture and at least one input aperture, the input and output apertures arranged to be substantially front facing when the apparatus is worn by a user. An air filter is arranged behind the front plate and positioned to filter air moving from in front of the apparatus toward the face of a user wearing the apparatus. A valve plate is located behind the filter, the valve plate including an output check valve in fluid communication with the output aperture and at least one input check valve in fluid communication with the at least one input aperture.
An apparatus and methods for air filtration are disclosed. The apparatus includes a body and first and second replaceable filters. The body of the apparatus further contains an air-exchange assembly and a filter receiver attached to the air exchange assembly. The air-exchange assembly contains an exhaust tube with an open end and a closed end, two wings on opposite sides of the exhaust tube, and an intake check valve and an exhaust check valve inside the exhaust tube. The first replaceable filter surrounds the filter receiver; and the second replaceable filter is inside the filter receiver. Several apertures and the check valves are strategically disposed in the exhaust tube to achieve optimal air filtration and avoid contamination of a user's exhaust.
