Retractable protective respiratory mask

Abstract

A retractable protective respiratory mask including disposable filters, which protects the respiratory system, covering the nose and mouth during inhalation while breathing in an atmosphere polluted by different agents, such as infectious, virulent, or pathogenic agents, or other toxic substances. The mask also protects non-infected persons from persons infected with a virus, as saliva and sputum expelled when coughing, breathing-out, and / or talking can be deposited inside the mask. The mask can include a collection-container filter, allowing a viral-infected wearer to breathe in a polluted atmosphere, to talk, to cough, to sneeze and / or to deposit saliva and sputum. The mask can be used as any other type of filter mask and / or disposable environmental air mask for industry in general, and also providing protection in rarefied natural atmospheres. The mask can be used as a container or packaging for drugs administered by means of bronchial airways, or as medical or rescue masks.

Description

PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION[0001]It is now well known that environmental pollution levels (smog), which are affecting the entire planet, as evidenced in all the large cities such as Tokyo, New York, Peking, Mexico City, Los Angeles, as well as the evolution of different virus, that have created resistance to medications and treatments, mutating, for example, the influenzas, its level of transformation has caused, viruses that exclusively affected animals to mutate and infect man, as is the case of the influenzas A, H1N1. Due to their highly contagious quality, this virus is transmitted through the remnants of saliva expulsed and which travel through the environment, when one talks, coughs, sneezes, and breathes, as well as by saliva and sputum cast onto the floor. Nowadays, viruses survive between 48 and 72 hours on smooth surfaces such as hands, handles, railings, floors, as well as tissues and fabrics. It also it is spread by talking, shaking hands or kissing. Although these viruse...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The retractable protective respiratory mask device with air filter collectors and disinfectants is designed to be a simple, safe, effective, and portable solution for wearing in risky everyday situations where we may come into contact with toxic agents or viruses. This mask provides a secure and airtight seal between the environment and the respiratory system to protect the person's health and prevent the spread of infections. Additionally, the mask allows for the deposit of sputum and saliva within its absorbent filter bag, and it remains closed and secured to prevent contamination and escape of infectious bacteria. The retractable design features a thin and resistant plastic pocket-friendly mask that can be easily transported and used in various forms.

Problems solved by technology

Although these viruses have claimed many lives throughout history, and today we are threatened by large-scale pandemics of multiple virus strains.

This is due to not having the option to easily access effective drugs and by not consistently following the recommendations given by the authorities so that it does not spread.

However, they are not suitable for the accumulation of fluids.

The elements used, to protect the respiratory system, covering the nose and mouth during inhalations, when breathing atmospheres contaminated by viruses from ill persons through contagious agents in the air are not sufficiently efficient to stop the propagation of the viruses such as the influenza viruses because generally, masks covering the mouth and nose are designed with a standard and rigid form as well as for the different types of noses, making it possible for air to be breathed through these leaks.

They do not allow an ergonomic fit over the nose from its apex to the half curve of the cheekbones.
