Benefits of technology

[0002]Face masks are frequently worn in movies and theatrical performances as well as on occasions such as Halloween. Most masks are either painstakingly assembled on and adhered to a user's face or formed from a thin plastic or elastomeric material. The masks that are assembled on and adhered to the user's face are realistic looking, yet are both costly and time-consuming to assemble. M

Problems solved by technology

The masks that are assembled on and adhered to the user's face are realistic looking, yet are both costly and time-consuming to assemble.
Moreover, these types of masks are generally worn once and are destroyed when they are removed from the user.
On the other hand, the masks that are formed from a thin plastic or elastomeric material are convenient to use and remove, yet are far from realistic looking.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Referring now to FIGS. 1A-3B, wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout, an illustrative mask 100 is shown. The mask 100 generally includes an interior shell 102 and an exterior portion 104. The interior shell 102 includes a first portion 106 and a second portion 108. In the illustrative embodiment, the first portion 106 is operable to overlay an upper portion of a user's face and the lower portion 108 is operable to overlay a lower portion of the user's face and at least partially engage the user's jaw. In one embodiment, the second portion 108 of the shell 102 may include a chin pad 114 for engaging the chin area of the user's jaw.

[0014]The second portion 108 may be hingedly secured, or otherwise coupled, to the first portion 106 via any suitable means such that the second portion 108 may be movable between a first position and a second position in response to movement by the user. The second portion 108 may be hingedly secured to the first portion 106 via any ...

Abstract

A mask includes rigid interior shell for placing over a user's face and a resilient exterior portion. The interior shell includes a first portion and a second portion hingedly secured to the first portion. The second portion is operable to move between a first position and a second position in response to movement by the user. The resilient exterior portion is coupled to the interior shell, and at least a portion of the exterior portion deforms when the interior shell second portion is moved from the first position to the second position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]This application relates to the masks and more particularly to ornamental face masks.SUMMARY [0002]Face masks are frequently worn in movies and theatrical performances as well as on occasions such as Halloween. Most masks are either painstakingly assembled on and adhered to a user's face or formed from a thin plastic or elastomeric material. The masks that are assembled on and adhered to the user's face are realistic looking, yet are both costly and time-consuming to assemble. Moreover, these types of masks are generally worn once and are destroyed when they are removed from the user. On the other hand, the masks that are formed from a thin plastic or elastomeric material are convenient to use and remove, yet are far from realistic looking. Therefore, there exists a need for a mask that provides a semblance of realism while also being convenient and easy to use.[0003]In particular, this application discloses a mask comprising: a rigid interior shell for ...
