Description:
Respiratory Therapy Face Mask

[0001] The Respiratory Therapy Face Mask in the technical field of this invention is related to the field of public health, as well as medical and therapeutic respiratory masks. This mask can be used for air purification and treatment of allergic and respiratory diseases and aromatherapy. The problem with the previous masks was the lack of using hot air during breathing, as well as the treatment of allergic and neurological diseases and aromatherapy. With its ergonomic structure, this mask is soft since it is made of silicone plastic materials, and in addition to not creating odors and allergies on the face, it does not leave traces when used. Using its nano filters, this mask cleans the air. Using its multi-layered coating and the materials prescribed by the doctor, this mask is used in the treatment of allergic, neurological and psychological diseases and aromatherapy. Besides, with its adjustable size, it can be exposed to indirect air with the addition of a detachable cap, which is very crucial for asthma patients. As well as, because of having many particles on the body of the mask, when the mask is being hit in different events, in addition to creating a mechanism for cushioning on a person's face, it can replace hit and damaged particles without the need to replace the entire mask.

Cross Reference to Related Application

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to an Iran patent application having serial number 139950140003000308 filed on April. 07, 2020, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Technical Field

[0003] The innovation refers to an advantageous technology in the field of public health as well as medical and therapeutic respiratory masks. This mask can be used for air purification and treatment of allergic and respiratory diseases and aromatherapy.

Background Art [0004] Many respiratory masks have yet been made in the fields of industry, medicine, and treatment to protect people exposed to kinds of particles, gases, and pollutions, and their main focus has been on the removal of harmful particles.

[0005] Respiratory protection masks are generally divided into two main categories:

[0006] 1- Air Purifying Respirators

[0007] 1- Air Purifying Respirators are masks that take the pollutants in the inhaled air and are divided into four categories:

[0008] A) Particulate Filtering Respirators

[0009] B) Vapor and Gas Removing Respirators

[0010] C) Powered Air - Purifying Respirators (PAPR)

[0011] D) Escape Masks

[0012] A) Particulate Filtering Respirators

[0013] Dust protection masks are used to protect against dust, fumes or mists. In these masks, fibrous materials, including paper, felt or cloth are employed for trapping pollutants.

[0014] Particulate Removing Filters

[0015] Particulate Removing Filters, one of the disposable respiratory masks, are the most common type to use at home. Respiratory masks can be disposable or, with the replaceable filters, can have the possibility of reuse. They cover your nose and mouth and protect you against the airborne particles, including dusts, liquids, mists, and some vapors, but they do not protect you against gases or volatiles.

[0016] The filters of these masks are classified based on European standards in three groups, N, R, and P.

[0017] Class N includes masks that are applied solely for use in atmospheres whose particles have a non-oil base. Classes R and P also include masks with oil- resistant filters or oil-insulating filters. These standards are generally the basis for the classification of dust masks manufactured in the United States and Canada.

[0018] B) Vapor and Gas Removing Respirators [0019] Air Purifying Respirators are used to protect against certain gases and vapors, such as ammonia gas and mercury vapor, and groups of gases and vapors such as acid gases and organic vapors.

[0020] Overall, the types of Vapor and Gas Removing Respirators are:

[0021] A. Chemical Cartridge Respirators

[0022] B. Gas Masks

[0023] C. Combinations Particulate Removing and Vapor and Gas Removing

[0024] Maximum Allowable Penetration *

[0025] Types of Filters used in Vapor and Gas Removing Respirators

[0026] Filters available in gas and vapor removing canisters and cartridges are classified according to the type of gases they can absorb them, on the basis of the following table:

[0027] Table 1

[0028] The most common ranking for the respiratory mask is N95 that it will remove 95% of airborne particles that do not have an oil foundation. The N95 covers most wood workshop dust, allergens, and airborne diseases. Filters for coloring are often ranked R95 or higher to control particle with oil foundation. The 100% P100 mask will filter both oil-based and non-oil based particles.

[0029] Nano-oxide Respiratory Mask

[0030] This mask model has many layers to prevent the entry of tiny and coarse particulate matters to the respiratory tract. For example, 40-gram polypropylene spun-bond as inner protective layers (to create a sense of comfort of coating) and 30-gram polypropylene spun-bond layer is applied as a nanofiber base layer containing activated carbon particles coated in white color on the second layer as a nanoparticle filter. Besides, in some models of this mask, we can see a 60- gram spun-bond layer for the rigidity of the mask. The 25-gram melt-blown layer is included as a pre-filter layer for micron particles in some other examples of this mask model, which prevents the entry of micron particles to a person's respiratory tract. As well as, the 60-gram spun-bond layer has been used as an outer protective layer in this mask model. [0031] Alongside the high-quality silicone valve embedded in this mask, inside the upper edge of the mask, a three-layer antiperspirant anti-allergy pad is used to prevent skin sensitivity and sharp pressure of the mask edge on the skin. The nose cover embedded on some of the models of this mask is used for long hours and high activity and is placed as a bond on the mask to prevent the entry of particles from the sides of the nose.

[0032] The results of this research work, which was carried out by Mohammad Mehdi Shirmohammadi in collaboration with Dr. Ramin Khajavi, a faculty member of the Azad University, Dr. Abbas Bahador, a faculty member of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and Dr. Atefeh Khosravi, a faculty member of the Islamic Azad University, have been published in the Journal of Industrial Textiles.

[0033] Avalon Nano-Fiber Company in Hong Kong has earned a license for manufacturing technology of a mask. In this technology, using the nanofibers, a mask is generated that can filter nanoparticles and viruses. This mask can also have antibacterial properties.

[0034] Wallace Leung from Hong Kong Polytechnic University and his colleagues, using different nanofibers, succeeded to build a mask that could filter nanoscale particles. The presence of nanofibers in this mask has caused the surface area of the whole structure is increased, and the nanometer particles have a greater chance of being trapped. Because the air can easily pass through these nanofibers and there is no air resistance, so the user can easily breathe with this mask.

[0035] The conventional masks are usually made of microfiber. Due to the dimensions of the conventional masks, there is no possibility of filtering nanoparticles such as influenza or SARS virus with them. Therefore, the use of them in areas where such diseases are spread is not possible. Currently, in many Asian countries, microfiber masks are used to fight infections.

[0036] The possibility of using nanofibers of different materials has made it possible to design this type of mask for use in different conditions. For example, layers made of titanium dioxide or semiconductor composite nanofibers can be used in this mask. By doing so, it breaks down emissions such as N20 and converts them into non-toxic compounds. To do this, only visible light should be shone on the mask. If chitosan nanofibers are used in these masks, the mask will find antibacterial properties and, in the case of wetting with sweat particles, will destroy microbes. The group plans to use this nanofiber filter in the cabin of aircraft and vehicles.

[0037] 2- Supplied air respirators (SAR)

[0038] Supplied air respirators (SAR) are masks that can supply air through a source other than the surrounding air. This group of masks is used in conditions either there is no suitable filter to remove pollutants in the ambient air or the oxygen density in the area is less than 21%. Supplied air respirators (SAR) are divided into two categories:

[0039] A. Self - Contained Breathing Apparatus

[0040] B. Air - Hose Supplied Air Respirators

[0041] Other inventions related to this work are:

[0042] Description or the related art including information disclosed . examples of such assemblies are disclosed in the following U.S. pat. Nos.:

[0043] In the invention No. US5,435,299 in 1995, its inventors proposed a mask with the ability to supply hot air using heat conductive metal material. With the passage of cold air through this metal mesh, it is heated to some extent and provided to the respiratory system.

[0044] In the invention No. US 7,318,439 B2 in 2008, a mask to provide a non- invasive airway was registered. It was applicable only for the treatment of respiratory disorders during sleep and had a pathway for connecting respiratory gases.

[0045] In the invention No. US9,320,923B2 in 2016, a mask with two channels for the entry and exit of air to the mask was presented. Respiratory filters are embedded on the input channels to absorb contamination and do not affect the cold air entering the mask cushion.

[0046] In the declaration form to No. WO 2009/004290 A1 , a mask is provided that covers the patient's mouth and, in other words, is not placed in front of the nose. Using a tube that reaches the abdomen from the mask pad, the person's body heat is transferred into the mask cushion.

[0047] In the declaration form to No. WO 2012/070543 A1 , using an electric heater that is placed on the surface of the mask and connected to the power, it heats the mask cushion.

Summary of Invention

[0048] This summary is intended to provide an overview of the subject matter of the present disclosure, and is not intended to identify essential elements or key elements of the subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to determine the scope of the claimed implementations. The proper scope of the present disclosure may be ascertained from the claims set forth below in view of the detailed description below and the drawings.

[0049] In one general aspect, the present disclosure describes The Respiratory Therapy Face Mask in the technical field of this invention is related to the field of public health, as well as medical and therapeutic respiratory masks. This mask can be used for air purification and treatment of allergic and respiratory diseases and aromatherapy. The problem with the previous masks was the lack of using hot air during breathing, as well as the treatment of allergic and neurological diseases and aromatherapy. With its ergonomic structure, this mask is soft since it is made of silicone plastic materials, and in addition to not creating odors and allergies on the face, it does not leave traces when used. Using its nano filters, this mask cleans the air. Using its multi-layered coating and the materials prescribed by the doctor, this mask is used in the treatment of allergic, neurological and psychological diseases and aromatherapy. Besides, with its adjustable size, it can be exposed to indirect air with the addition of a detachable cap, which is very crucial for asthma patients. As well as, because of having many particles on the body of the mask, when the mask is being hit in different events, in addition to creating a mechanism for cushioning on a person's face, it can replace hit and damaged particles without the need to replace the entire mask.

Technical Problem [0050] At present, one of the major problems of human societies is the pollution of ambient air in industrial centers and cities, which will cause the occurrence of respiratory tract diseases.

[0051] Medical masks prevent the entry of particles of dust, smoke, bacteria, carbon, and harmful odors to the patient's respiratory tract: The amount of heat and energy of the mask is regulated via rechargeable batteries.

[0052] Exercise-induced asthma reduces oxygen supply to the body, and allergies, exercise, viral respiratory infections, and respiratory irritants such as cold air, cigarette smoke, chemicals, and perfumes are the most important causes for the occurrence of asthma.

[0053] At the time of doing aerobic exercise, rapid mouth breathing is performed. As a result, the air that reaches the respiratory tracts is not heated and wetted due to the lack of passing through the nose, and the cold and harsh air triggers an asthma attack.

[0054] Given that 70 percent of asthma patients experience some degrees of exercise-induced asthma, exercise and workouts associated with long-running are more likely to cause asthma attacks than non-aerobic ones, and exercise- induced asthma occurs in 90% of people with asthma, and the incidence of asthma attacks during exercise in winter and sports performed in cold weather have been observed more than others. In accordance with research, 35 to 50 percent of asthma attacks on hockey and ice skating occurs, thus, athletes who do aerobic exercise are usually affected by asthma.

[0055] In allergic diseases, In terms of inhaling a specific odor, a person's body shows sensitivity to it. In neurological diseases, smelling perfumes is soothing and is known as aromatherapy. In the other masks available, at the time of hitting or injuring the body of a mask, the person is forced to replace the entire mask.

[0056] Statement of the Purposes of the Invention:

[0057] 1- Prevention of direct entry of cold air into the lungs

[0058] 2- Treatment of allergic diseases

[0059] 3- Treatment of neurological diseases [0060] 4- Aromatherapy

[0061] 5- Air purification during breathing

[0062] 6- Replacement capability of the damaged area of the mask instead of the general replacement of the mask

[0063] 7- Ergonomic structure of the mask for the lack of influencing after use on the face

[0064] 8- Anti-allergic nature of the mask

Solution to Problem

[0065] The lungs require warm and humid air for better function. While breathing through the nose, the air gets a chance to slightly warm up through the nose before reaching the lungs. Breathing through the nose or mouth in cold weather causes the narrowing of the airway. Breathing in the cold air lacks the moisture needed to smooth the bronchial tubes. Some of the symptoms related to this problem include dry mouth, wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

[0066] In diseases such as asthma or emphysema, as well as influenza and cold, the symptoms in cold weather are intensified and the bronchoconstriction will be more. To prevent the harmful effects of cold air on the lungs, the use of masks is recommended.

[0067] Particle Coated Surgical Respiratory Face Mask is employed with the replacement capability of the types of filters for various applications such as air purification, reduction of air pollution for breathing, treatment of allergic and respiratory diseases, and aromatherapy with an adjustable size that is indirectly exposed to outside air, including the body of a mask which has multiple particles, at least two mask straps attached to the body of the mask through the connection position, at least one detachable cap that, in order not to be exposed to direct air, can be connected on the body of the mask, if needed. The body of the mask, two straps, and detachable cap are made of a set of materials including thermoplastic resin, polyurethane resin, poly (vinyl chloride), polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene. [0068] The body of the mask includes a large number of particles placed together to protect the user of the mask, at least one multi-filter coating to filter polluted air or treat allergic or respiratory diseases such as asthma or aromatherapy, at least two air transfer valves to transmit the fresh air into the mask, and at least two connection positions of the mask body to the mask straps to fix the mask on the person's face.

[0069] The body of the mask has an ergonomic structure that is used on the face of the person without side effects in terms of sensitivity or durable lines on the face.

It has a stoma on the inside of the mask body, which is a thin layer of soft plastic so that the air does not come directly into the mask and is open from the sides, which leads to the movement of air between the interior of the mask and the multi-filter coating.

[0070] Two straps of the mask include two straps and two caps so that the junction of the mask strap is tightened and covered through their connection position.

[0071] The detachable cap, in order not to be exposed to direct air, can be attached on the body of the mask, if necessary.

[0072] The detachable cap is connected to the body of the mask by at least one connection clamp on both sides. The detachable cap has a channel that, with the entry of cold air into the mask channel and mixing it with warm and moist air exhaled, a circulation cycle of fresh, moist, and mild air is prepared for breathing.

[0073] The particles have a vibrational mode to prevent the impact when a person falls and the person's face collides with the hard objects that are using the mask and, by moving backward and forward, it prevents the intensity of impact incurred to the person's face.

[0074] The particles are made of soft plastic, silicone, etc. Also, the particles have male and female heads for greater strength when they are intertwined. Moreover, the particles have replacement capability in the event of failure or damage, in which case there is no need to replace the mask, and only the particles are replaced.

[0075] The multi-filter coating includes two layers of nano-filter to clean the air and reduce the pollution of air used, a thick layer of medical material where different types of materials can be poured according to the individual's allergic disease or improvement of the individual's treatment cycle, which is surrounded by two layers of nano-filter on both sides. The multi-filter coating is placed inside the channel of the body of the mask by the slots on both sides and is tightened.

[0076] The nano-filter can be washed with a combination of organic materials and silver nanoparticles and can be replaced. Besides, the nano-filter is an antibacterial filter.

[0077] The thick medical layer can contain various substances for the treatment of allergic diseases or impregnated with aromatic substances for the treatment of aromatherapy or the treatment of neurological and mental diseases.

[0078] The air transfer valve is used to transfer fresh air and to provide air movement in different directions. The air transfer valve is firmly fastened by its outer layer inside the hole on the mask (at the junction of the air transfer valve).

[0079] Mask strap includes the thin part of the strap, the place of inserting thin part of the strap to the thick part of the strap, and the thick part of the strap that, depending on the appropriateness of the mask on the face, a person can set it by inserting the thin part in the thick part of the strap (holder).

[0080] It is a method for the treatment of allergic diseases by using a mask according to the physician's order; the mentioned approach consists of the following steps:

[0081] 1- Determining the disease to allergy by the physician

[0082] 2- Burning sheep poo (excrement)

[0083] 3- Pouring the burning excrement that has smoke into the thick medical layer in the multi-filter coating

[0084] 4- The assembly of nano-filters and thick medical layer inside the multi-filter coating

[0085] 5- Tightening the multi-filter coating by inserting them into the slots on the body of the mask

[0086] 6- Opening the air transfer valves in the body of the mask [0087] 7- Using the mask by the person for a period of days in terms of the physician's opinion and treatment routine

[0088] 8- Using the mask with high requirements again after a period of treatment in terms of the physician's opinion

[0089] 9- Treating allergic diseases

[0090] The Fibers Used in the Mask

[0091] The use of activated charcoal layer causes a physical adsorption of volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) such as benzene and toluene. However, because only small amounts of activated charcoal can be used in this way, they will saturate very quickly and lose their efficiency. The use of silver nanoparticles (NS) has antibacterial properties. Using the polypropylene fibers, due to its low cost and potential physical properties such as lightweight, resistance to moisture and chemicals, in this project, we seek to design filters that have both the ability to absorb gaseous pollutants and microbial pollutants simultaneously and can be made available to all members of society at a reasonable price.

[0092] In this invention, there is no claim related to the specific type of nano-filter, but we will describe the filter used in the relevant invention as an example. Any other type of filter can be used as well.

[0093] First, using polypropylene fibers and layered needle method, the desired filter is prepared. In the next step, a solution of activated carbon is prepared using distilled water that these materials are coated on the nonwoven layer using the steel. After smearing, the layers are placed in an oven and dried. Next, the layer obtained with nano-silver solution is sprayed in different concentrations. Eventually, the final filter obtained from this method is subjected to various experiments to determine the effect of chemical and microbial contamination.

[0094] The polypropylene layer coated with silver nanoparticles can inactivate microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. On the other hand, coating the layer with activated carbon absorbs pollutant gases such as NO, CO, and N02. The simultaneous presence of activated carbon particles and silver nanoparticles at a surface such as the polypropylene film surface reduces the antimicrobial activity of silver particles. However, no significant effect on activated carbon adsorption capacity is observed. It can be concluded that to achieve the two desired antimicrobial and adsorption properties simultaneously, activated carbon particles and silver nanoparticles must be placed on two different sides of the filter layer.

[0095] It should be added that the silver nanoparticles used in this filter will collide to bacteria that are passing through the filter. Considering the antibacterial properties of these nanoparticles, the bacteria become inactive and lose their functions as a result of this contact. Hence, while the bacteria passing through the filter are neutral, the growth of the bacteria does not happen in it despite having proper conditions at the surface of the filter.

[0096] Nano-filter

[0097] Nonwoven textile layers constitute the nanofibers of the structure of these layers. These layers give an extraordinary absorption power of 99% to the mask. Thanks to the nanofibers used in this mask, the passage of particles larger than 2 micrometers is impossible; in this way, a person's lungs are protected not only from dust particles, but also from cigarette smoke and many viruses, pathogens, and bacteria.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

[0098] 1- There is the possibility of adding filters to prevent the entry of harmful substances on this mask.

[0099] 2- This invention is completely non-invasive.

[0100] 3- The detachable cap has an autoclaved and sterilizing capability.

[0101 ] 4- The prevention of the collision of cold air with the lungs is another advantage of this mask. By preventing the collision of cold air with the lungs as well as retaining the moisture of the exhaled air in the interior of the mask, this mask greatly reduces the risk of asthma attacks or exercise-induced asthma. Warming the incoming air to the lungs for better exchange of oxygen-breathing gas, maintaining the moisture of the exhaled air inside the mask, allowing to do intense exercise in cold weather for athletes, and preventing the entry of air particulate matter into the lungs are the most important benefits of the new thermal mask. [0102] 5- Prevention of the direct entry of cold air into the lungs

[0103] 6- Treatment of allergic diseases, neurological diseases, aromatherapy

[0104] 7- Air purification during breathing

[0105] 8- Replacement capability of the damaged area of the mask instead of the general replacement of the mask

[0106] 9- Ergonomic structure of the mask for the lack of influencing after use on the face

[0107] 10- Anti-allergic nature of the mask

[0128] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth by way of examples in order to provide a thorough understanding of the relevant teachings. However, it should be apparent that the present teachings may be practiced without such details. In other instances, well known methods, procedures, components, and/or circuitry have been described at a relatively high-level, without detail, in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present teachings.

[0129] The following detailed description is presented to enable a person skilled in the art to make and use the methods and devices disclosed in exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. For purposes of explanation, specific nomenclature is set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that these specific details are not required to practice the disclosed exemplary embodiments. Descriptions of specific exemplary embodiments are provided only as representative examples. Various modifications to the exemplary implementations will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other implementations and applications without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the implementations shown, but is to be accorded the widest possible scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0130] For purposes of reference, it should be understood that the techniques and systems disclosed herein are applicable to coupled motion in a wrist; however, the techniques and systems may be adapted to a number of other applications ...

[0131] Particle Coated (7) Surgical Respiratory Face Mask (Fig 1) is employed with the replacement capability of the types of filters (4) for various applications, including the body of a mask (Fig 4) which has multiple particles (7), at least two mask straps (1) attached to the body of the mask (Fig 4) through the connection position (16), at least one detachable cap (19) that, in order not to be exposed to direct air, can be connected on the body of the mask, if needed. The body of the mask (Fig 4), two straps (1), and detachable cap (19) are made of a set of materials including thermoplastic resin, polyurethane resin, poly (vinyl chloride), polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene.

[0132] The body of the mask (Fig 4) includes a large number of particles (7) placed together to protect the user of the mask, at least one multi-filter coating (3) to filter polluted air or treat allergic or respiratory diseases such as asthma or aromatherapy, at least two air transfer valves (6) to transmit the fresh air into the mask, and at least two connection positions (16) of the mask body to the mask straps (11) to fix the mask on the person's face. It has a stoma (8) on the inside of the mask body (Fig 1), which is a thin layer of soft plastic so that the air does not come directly into the mask and is open from the sides, which leads to the movement of air between the interior of the mask and the multi-filter coating (3).

[0133] Two straps of the mask (Fig 10) include two straps (1) and two caps (2) so that the junction of the mask strap (15) is tightened and covered through their connection position (16).

[0134] The detachable cap (19), in order not to be exposed to direct air, can be attached on the body of the mask (Fig 4), if necessary.

[0135] The detachable cap (19) is connected to the body of the mask (Fig 4) by at least one connection clamp on both sides (19). The detachable cap (19) has a channel (20) that, with the entry of cold air into the mask channel and mixing it with warm and moist air exhaled, a circulation cycle of fresh, moist, and mild air is prepared for breathing (Fig 11).

[0136] The particles (7) have male (11) and female (12) heads for greater strength when they are intertwined (Fig 7). Moreover, the particles (7) have replacement capability in the event of failure or damage, in which case there is no need to replace the mask, and only the particles are replaced (Fig 7).

[0137] The multi-filter coating (Fig 2), (Fig 3) includes two layers of nano-filter (4) to clean the air and reduce the pollution of air used, a thick layer of medical material (5) where different types of materials can be poured according to the individual's allergic disease or improvement of the individual's treatment cycle, which is surrounded by two layers of nano-filter (4) on both sides. The multi-filter coating (3) is placed inside the channel (9) of the body of the mask by the slots (10) on both sides and is tightened.

[0138] The air transfer valve (Fig 5) is used to transfer fresh air and to provide air movement in different directions. The air transfer valve (6) is firmly fastened by its outer layer (13) inside the hole on the mask (at the junction of the air transfer valve) (14) - (Fig 6).

[0139] Mask strap (Fig 10) includes the thin part of the strap (19), the place of inserting thin part of the strap to the thick part of the strap (18), and the thick part of the strap (17) (1) that, depending on the appropriateness of the mask on the face, a person can set it by inserting the thin part (17) in the thick part (19) of the strap (holder).

[0140] It is a method for the treatment of allergic diseases by using a mask according to the physician's order; the mentioned approach consists of the following steps

Fig 13):

[0141] 1- Determining the disease to allergy by the physician (22)

[0142] 2- Burning sheep poo (excrement) (23)

[0143] 3- Pouring the burning excrement that has smoke into the thick medical layer in the multi-filter coating (24)

[0144] 4- The assembly of nano-filters and thick medical layer inside the multi-filter coating (25)

[0145] 5- Tightening the multi-filter coating by inserting them into the slots on the body of the mask (26)

[0146] 6- Opening the air transfer valves in the body of the mask (27)

[0147] 7- Using the mask by the person for a period of days in terms of the physician's opinion and treatment routine (28)

[0148] 8- Using the mask with high requirements again after a period of treatment in terms of the physician's opinion (29)

[0149] 9- Treating allergic diseases (30)
