Benefits of technology

The patent describes a mask holder that can be worn as a necklace and connected to facial mask ear loops. This allows the wearer to unmask from their mask while keeping the mask hanging around their neck, making it easy to put on or take off. The holder can be easily adjusted to fit different masks and is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The main advantage is that it allows people to briefly lower the mask to communicate with others without having to remove their mask for breathing.

Problems solved by technology

These facial masks filter the air the wearer breathes and also blocks the wearers ability to spread particles when he or she sneezes, coughs or even talks.
