Abstract

See full text

A facemask assembly and method of manufacturing the same includes a thermo-polymer strap along the nose and upper cheek areas that can be custom conformed by the wearer to create an effective seal in both those areas of the face plus can be flared inward/outward to enhance the seal below the chin. In some embodiments a snap-together, two-part framework is employed to increase the breathable filter surface area and bring such near the mouth and nose. In some embodiments, the facemask has a front clip component that enables inserting elastic tubing/strap adjustably below the nose or looped back and then also inserted below the mouth to create ear loops. In addition, the external front clip—pressing between the filter and the interior back frame—allows for the vertical adjustment of the strap/tubing to customize/optimize the facial seal.
