Description:
PORTABLE OXYGEN BREATHING FRESH AIR MASK

Technical Field:

This invention relates to a portable oxygen breathing fresh air mask that can be used in underwater sports or in daily life to protect against harmful factors such as polluted air and viruses with its light and economical structure.

State of the Art:

Today, various masks are used to protect against harmful gases in people engaged in diving sports or at work for health reasons, or outdoors. Diving masks that close the eyes and nose or completely cover the face are used in diving sports. These masks, when used together with a snorkel or large oxygen cylinders, allow you to breathe for certain distances or for certain periods of time under the water. However, in recreational activities, there are situations when the snorkel is insufficient, and the oxygen tube is too much. Masks worn to protect against harmful gases, on the other hand, may leak around the edges or the filters may be insufficient because they do not fit the person's face properly.

The patent application No. US11208184B2 describes "Diving Goggles". The present disclosure provides diving goggles, which include: a mask assembly, including a mounting hole, and a dismounting hole passing through a side wall of the mounting hole; a lens, installed in the mounting hole; a pressing ring, detachably embedded in one end of the mounting hole to fix the lens, the dismounting hole facing an outer peripheral wall of the pressing ring; and a detaching component, mounted on the mask assembly, one end of the detaching component passing through the dismounting hole and resisting against the outer peripheral wall of the pressing ring, for detaching the pressing ring from the mounting hole. The patent application No. US1111000B2 describes a” Full Face Diving Mask". A fullface diving mask includes a full-face mask body, an intake tube, and a detachable display screen. The full-face mask body includes an outer frame, a soft rubber mask part, and a hard lens mask part. The display screen is detachably mounted to the lower end of the full-face mask body, which not only makes the diver's view more comfortable when diving underwater but also facilitates adjustment. Moreover, it is convenient to replace the display screen, which improves the flexibility of using the full-face diving mask.

The patent application CN111657605A describes a “Protective Mask". The invention provides a protective mask, and belongs to the technical field of protective articles. The technical problems that an existing protective mask is not attractive enough and cannot be used repeatedly are solved. The protective mask comprises a mask made of a flexible material, a through hole is formed in the mask, a breather valve is detachably connected to the through hole in a clamped mode, an expiration channel and an inspiration channel are formed in the breather valve, a one-way valve structure capable of enabling air in the mask to be exhausted in a one-way mode is arranged on the expiration channel, an air filtering structure is arranged in the inspiration channel, and connecting belts are further arranged on the two sides of the mask. According to the protective mask, only one through hole is formed in the mask body, the expiration channel and the inspiration channel are combined to one breather valve, it is guaranteed that expiration and inspiration are conducted smoothly and do not interfere with each other when the whole structure is used through the arrangement of the one-way valve structure, and the whole protective mask is practical, attractive, convenient to use and reliable.

Above we are talking about diving masks used in swimming sports and a protective mask with air filtration. Glasses used in swimming sports cover the eyes and nose. It is ensured that the person can breathe with the help of a snorkel. In diving masks, the face is usually completely covered, and the snorkel is integrated into the mask. In these cases, it is possible to dive to a distance directly proportional to the length of the snorkel. Otherwise, he will not be able to breathe, as he will get into the water while snorkeling. Oxygen cylinders can be used with this mask or glasses. However, oxygen cylinders cause a lot of energy to be spent because they are heavy items. In addition, when it comes to small recreational activities, large amounts of money are spent due to the cost of the oxygen cylinder.

In protective masks with air filtration, a filter is installed on the surface of the mask and the air entering it is cleaned of harmful substances. However, due to the fact that these masks lose their sealing properties in people with different facial features, as well as the poor quality of the filters, insufficient efficiency cannot be obtained. Due to the short service life of the filters, the cost increases as the masks are changed frequently.

As a result, a new technology is needed that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.

Description of the Invention:

This invention is a portable oxygen breathing fresh air mask that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above, and its feature is; It has a mask that provides full impermeability, does not contact with the outside air thanks to the oxygen capsule, can be used underwater and above water, has a light structure, simple structure, and low cost due to its ease of production.

The invention can be used in underwater diving activities or outside in daily life. The mask is not waterproof or airtight. Since the oxygen capsule is attached to the upper part of the mask, it does not impair the angle of view and does not affect the body's center of gravity. In addition, since the oxygen capsule is light, it does not tire the person when used under or over water. It can be used in daily life in diseases such as pollen, air pollution and pandemics. Thus, the risk of disease is minimized. It can be used by both employees and visitors in workplaces where air pollution is high. Since there is no contact with the outside air thanks to the oxygen capsule, the person is in no way affected by the bad conditions in the air.

The invention has a mask structure that is resistant to pressure at certain levels underwater. Especially in small-scale recreational diving activities, using small oxygen capsules instead of large oxygen cylinders provides an advantage both because it is light, it causes less energy consumption, and its cost is low.

It is easy to install due to the easy fixing of the parts that make up the invention, and the costs are low due to the short assembly time. Moreover, the invention has a solid construction.

5. Vent Description of the Invention:

The invention is a mask (1) that is worn on the face and prevents water or air from entering the face by covering the whole face, an oxygen capsule (2) that preserves oxygen and transmits oxygen to the user by being attached to the mask (1), an oxygen capsule (2) is attached to the mask (1). The capsule chamber (3) located on the upper part has a valve (4) that adjusts the outlet pressure of the air in the oxygen capsule (2) and is located next to the capsule chamber (3), and a vent (5) to expel the air that comes out of the mask (1) when the user exhales.

Detailed Description of The Invention

The parts constituting the invention are basically; mask (1), oxygen capsule (2), capsule chamber (3), valve (4) and vent (5).

There is a mask (1) that covers the user's face from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead. The mask (1) covers the face in such a way that no air or water can enter when used underwater or outside. There is a capsule chamber (3) on the upper part of the mask (1). An oxygen capsule (2) is inserted into the capsule chamber (3). The oxygen capsule (2) is fixed with the help of the tabs in the capsule chamber (3). There is a valve (4) on the side of the capsule chamber (3). This valve (4) provides control of the outlet pressure of the air in the oxygen capsule (2). When the user breathes in the mask (1), he takes the fresh air coming from the oxygen capsule (2). When he exhales, the carbon dioxide that comes out is thrown out through a vent (5) on the side corresponding to the mouth part of the mask (1).
