Embodiment Construction

[0026] The foregoing Summary, as well as the following Detailed Description of certain examples, are better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying figures. As used herein, an element or step recited in the singular and preceded by the word "a" or "an" should be understood as not necessarily excluding a plurality of elements or steps. Further, references to "one example" are not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of additional examples that also incorporate the recited features. Furthermore, an instance that "comprises" or "has" an element or elements with a specified condition may include additional elements that do not have that property unless expressly stated to the contrary.

[0027] Certain examples of the present disclosure provide a personal ventilation device for reducing the transmission of pollutants and / or pathogens (eg, bacterial and / or viral microorganisms) via aerosols in the air. For example, a personal ventilator is a wear...

Abstract

A personal ventilation device and method includes a first conduit section and a second conduit section each held by a support structure configured to be mounted on a wearer of the personal ventilation device. The personal ventilation device also includes a first nozzle mounted to the first conduit section and a second nozzle mounted to the second conduit section. The first nozzle and the second nozzle are configured to be disposed proximate opposite sides of the wearer's face, and the first nozzle directs airflow from the first conduit section across the wearer's face to form a control volume for the wearer's breathing space.

Description

technical field [0001] Examples of the present disclosure relate generally to personally wearable ventilation devices and methods for delivering sterile air to a personal breathing space. Background technique [0002] Vehicles, such as commercial aircraft, are used to transport passengers between different locations. Many commercial vehicles, such as airplanes, have high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in the air conditioning system that are capable of trapping microbes and pathogens. The HEPA filter receives and sanitizes the air leaving the cabin or about to enter the cabin. HEPA filters and frequent cabin cleanings between flights are some of the ways to ensure the health of passengers and crew on board. [0003] Additionally, some passengers may prefer to wear masks in the interior cabin of a vehicle, in indoor spaces within buildings, and / or in densely populated outdoor spaces in order to reduce the risk of spreading pathogens. However, wearing a mask for e...
