Description

DESCRIPTION

Adapter device for filter mask

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to an adapter device for masks, applicable to hygienic, surgical, FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3 masks.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that allows a better use of the mask by articulating the mask so that it can be turned to one side leaving the mouth and/or nose uncovered; Another objective is to ensure that the mask protects itself from contamination (by closing on itself) when the mouth is uncovered.

STATE OF THE ART

As is known, a problem with filtering masks, regardless of their type, is that when they are removed to drink and eat, they are worn incorrectly. Improper handling of the mask creates a risk of infection. The device for masks that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the aforementioned problems, based on a simple but effective solution.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is constituted from a main frame of an elastic and flexible nature, whose curvature adapts to the curvature of the user's nasal septum; Due to its own elastic nature, it adapts to different physiognomies; the main frame includes fixing means to the user's head. The invention makes the filtering mask work as if it were the leaf of an opening window allowing drinking and eating.

According to a first variant of embodiment, the simplest, the mask is attached to a hinge that is usually made of fabric, but can be of another nature and as an example, a plastic hinge with a means of joining the main frame and the mask: the means of union can be with magnets, pressure mechanism, fast gluing, gluing by heat fusion.

A second variant embodiment of the invention couples a hygienic, surgical or FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 type mask: it is formed by a body with the function of main frame (1d) with an opening in front of the mouth/nose or mouth; An element (example: cover, basket) is hinged to the main frame that acts as a window leaf that allows the hygienic, surgical or FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 mask to be attached. This model of invention is usually made with a lighter fabric that filters large dust-like particles and lets through viruses and bacteria that are trapped by the attached mask. The cover or basket (7) does not have to be complete in all models, it is enough that it fulfills the function of fastening and articulation as in figure 5, facilitating an optimal seal, leaving part of the mask (9) visible. The mask is held in the bag or basket by means of magnets, folded edges, or another solution.

An improved version seeks for the device to ensure a perfect adaptation of the mask to the user's physiognomy, preventing exhaled air from escaping through the upper part of the mask, forcing it to pass through the filtering means of said mask and avoiding both the fogging of glasses and the dryness of the eyes for its users; this is achieved with silicone or textile gaskets or other material that fill the space between the main frame and the skin or the mask and the skin.

A sealing device can be installed (by positive and/or negative air pressure), independent or that takes advantage of elements of a suction device and/or filtered air flow diffuser (which creates the screen and/or air curtain) or other elements in the mask that have a motor with a propeller, such as a fan or blower. The window opening mechanism can be manual or mechanical. The mechanical opening is activated by switches or by means of electronic elements (sensors or infrared) which, as a non-limiting example, are placed on a wristband, so the window opens when we bring our hands close to our faces to eat after activating the function (a very simple means is a pneumatic circuit with a small pressure pump in the mask combined with magnets). A timer can be included so that the window closes after a few seconds. In cloth or other fabric masks, the window closure can be by means of Velcro, or by pressure or another equivalent fixing mechanism. The mask can be reusable, part reusable and part disposable or totally disposable. The invention allows valves and different additional devices in order to be able to adapt to a greater number of users and situations. Having made the preceding description, we must add that the details of carrying out the exposed idea may vary, without changing its essence. The invention can have any device or element described in this memory installed and/or can have a support device in which to install the devices and/or elements described that it needs depending on the model to be made; it can also have an additional element, which is a casing that houses parts of the invention, facilitating its distribution and distributing volume and weight. It can be a necklace, a cap, a button panel, among others. The support device may be one or more than one. In an optional form, the invention may have a nose, mouth and eyes or full face coverage.

ELEMENTS OF THE INVENTION:

Some or all of them are single-use or reusable, easy to clean because they are made of materials that can be cleaned with simple soap and water or alcohol (non-porous materials such as sanitary rubbers and silicones or biodegradable plastics and any material that has similar characteristics ). The invention can have a mouth, mouth/nose, mouth/eyes (with hole or transparent screens for viewing), mouth/nose/eyes or full face covering.

1) Main joints: they are the parts that fulfill the function of coupling to the user's face or between parts of the invention, preventing air leaks from the breathing chamber to the outside and vice versa, forcing all gases to pass through filter fabric, filters or through the window-type opening.

2) Main frame: it is a body that fulfills the function of a support structure holding various elements of the mask, joints and different devices in the coupling area; In general, the fastening means are attached to this main frame. 3) Separation of the breathing chamber into the nasal chamber and the mouth chamber by a nasal filter: it is characterized by the fact that a filter is established on the inner face of the mask, and in correspondence with the area between the user's nose and mouth. or transverse partition (fixed or removable) of a flexible and hygienic nature, adaptable to the physiognomy of the user's face in the intermediate area between the nose and the mouth, determining two independent chambers, an upper chamber for the nose, and a lower chamber for the mouth. Both cameras have Independent filter media.

4) Silver wire fiber cover or similar: protects the filter element from impurities that could penetrate it, if it were not encapsulated. A cover can protect the PPE if it is not used. Covers can be made from these materials to carry masks, mobile phones or other items, keeping them free of viruses and bacteria. It is reusable since it can be cleaned with simple soap and water, except for the filter element that can be easily renewed, removing it from the encapsulation and replacing it with a new one.

5) Exhalation valve: in the event that these exhalation valves are available, this will be the preferred way of exiting the air, due to the ease and low resistance they offer.

6) Means that use anti-pathogenic methods

7) Therapeutic elements for the skin.

8) Mechanical elements (Examples that do not limit the inclusion of others: non-return gas valve, flow regulator valve, switches, hinge, etc.) and/or electronic elements (Important are electronic control means with different types of sensors and/or receivers and /or activators and/or actuators: chips, cards to store and process data, programmable motherboard, peltier cell, etc.)

9) FAN: is synonymous with propeller (3h) driven by a motor (3m). It serves to create the air curtain and the air screen.

10) VENTILATOR-BREATHING: increases the contribution of filtered air to breathe it and relieve suffocation. 2 breathing fans are usually used (with one motor each or one motor with two propellers); a fan introduces filtered air into the breathing chamber between (for example) the mask and the wearer's face; the second ventilator has a suction function and draws expired air with CO2 into the breathing chamber, filters it and sends it outside

11) Filtered air screen/curtain. For greater clarity of the operation of a motor with a propeller in some pipes, we are going to analyze the operation of a hair dryer: when starting it at first sight there is only diffusion, but, if we bring a napkin close to the air intake area, this it gets stuck by a suction force. This happens because the drive medium creates a vacuum and the back air occupies that empty space; this displacement of air reaches the air intake whose section is wider than the section of the mouth of the dryer. If the section of the air intake is reduced, the aspiration increases. Simplifying the whole: in a conduit of the same diameter in the center of which there is an impulsion propeller driven by a motor, the force with which the air is expelled is equal to that which is sucked in by vacuum; filter and other intervening elements increase friction and decrease the speed of expulsion and/or suction. The invention includes at least one motor with an impulsion propeller (or means with an equivalent function) to generate an expulsion/diffusion and suction. The device can be part of a PPE or be an autonomous element that can be attached to all PPE and mask (with or without window) providing a safety plus. There is a filtered air device where said air is driven by means of a motor with propellers or equivalent means, passes through ducts that reach holes and/or slots in the device chassis and is expelled and diffused (open circuit) and part sucked in through other holes and/or slots in the chassis and return to the filter (closed circuit). In this circuit, the air after being filtered can be enriched with bactericidal and antiviral chemical substances or with ions that destroy pathogenic agents without being harmful to the user. The circuit may have an air intake (which does not coincide with the suction holes/slots) before the filter. The screen-air curtain can also be formed between two open circuits or an open and closed circuit (figure 7). The air screen is much more resistant and the air curtain more flexible where diffusion prevails over suction or suction is zero. The air screen is created between sides or part of sides of an area delimited by any type of perimeter (example: window type) or between two adjacent or facing sides (with any inclination between them) that are part of a closed or open perimeter . If there is filtered exhaled air, it can be used to create a protective screen-curtain thanks to holes and/or slots that do not harm the air sucked in for inspiration.

Open circuit: (figure 7) includes air intake (3t) or holes or slots (or both) (2b), filter (3af) and motor (3am) with propellers (3ah), expulsion duct (2c) through which drives filtered air (3c) that comes out through some holes or slots (or both) (2a) of expulsion forming part of a screen / curtain (4) in a window (5v) and / or between sides (4d) of filtered air and / or creating a protection zone by diffusing it (D) around the protected element; the holes or slots (or both) of suction (2b), expulsion (2a) and air intake (3t) are in any part of (1d) and/or support device chassis (1DA) and/or element housing supplementary (1S).

Closed circuit: (figure 7) that includes screen-curtain (4) in window (5v) of filtered air between holes or slots (or both) (3a) expulsion and holes or slots (or both) (3b) suction; the sucked air (3d) passes through the suction ducts (2d), through the filter (3cf) thanks to the motor (3cm) with propeller (3ch) that propels it through expulsion ducts (3g) towards holes or slots (or both) (3a), [with option to air intake (2t) before the filter]. The holes or slots (or both) of suction (3b) and the holes or slots (or both) of ejection (3a) and air intake (2t) are in any part of (1d) and/or supporting device chassis (1DA) and/or supplementary element casing (1S).

11) Filtered air flow aspirator and/or diffuser device: it consists of aspiration holes and/or slots (2b), (3b); air intake (2t), (3t); suction ducts (2d); filter (3f), (3af), (3cf); engine (3m), (3am), (3cm); helix (3h), (3ah), (3ch) or equivalent means; expulsion ducts (2c), (3g); ejection holes or slots (2a) (3a) rechargeable battery, air flow valves. Everything is in (1d) or support device chassis (1DA) or supplementary element casing (1S), (bracelet, wristband, chain, hat, clothing, bag, etc.): allows creating the screen-curtain of filtered air. The device is characterized by having one or more motors with one or more propellers and any combination (even only closed circuit or only open circuit) between the closed and open circuits, (or part of them) of filtered air and any distribution of holes or slots (or both) of absorption, expulsion and air intake, the latter characterized by large or several and smaller. The function (expulsion and suction) of filtered air flow is adjustable, in some models all possible combinations are achieved (even extreme, examples: zero expulsion/maximum suction, maximum expulsion/zero suction, expulsion = suction). In order for the filtered air to be sucked through the corresponding holes, the expulsion holes and/or slots have to be manufactured to direct the air towards the suction holes and/or slots. The concept of a vacuum cleaner is related to the function of protection and the function of sucking diffuse filtered air through the holes and/or expulsion slots, forming a screen-curtain of filtered air: it is different from the concept of air intake, which does not pursue as first objective to protect by forming a curtain screen of filtered air. There may be cases that the two functions are combined by necessity of the model of the invention. Suction holes and/or slots can suck in unfiltered air from around and mix with the filtered air; It all depends on the layout and models, and as an example, suction holes can be distributed near the main joint to suck in the air that can escape between the face and the main frame, allowing the pressure of the frame to be reduced. main on the skin and avoiding contaminating the environment.

DISINFECTION, PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL METHODS .

Disinfection is a process whose objective is to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms from surfaces and objects. The agents that we use for this are called antiseptics, when they act on living beings, and disinfectants, when they act on inanimate objects. In other words, they have the same objective, but their indication is different, mainly due to the toxicity they could cause on people. These agents can also act in two different ways: killing microorganisms or inhibiting their growth. Disinfection can be achieved by different methods that we group into two: physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods are those that use physical variables, such as temperature and ultraviolet radiation, to achieve the disinfectant effect. Within this group we include: thermal disinfection, ultraviolet radiation disinfection, ultrasound disinfection. chemical methods are those in which we apply different chemical substances for a certain time to achieve the disinfectant effect. These methods, furthermore, can be used independently or associated with heat application processes, thus being known as thermochemical disinfection. Depending on how we apply the disinfectant or antiseptic, we have different methods: spraying, lotion, immersion,

DISINFECTION BY COLD PLASMA AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

Atmospheric pressure plasmas, and especially piezoelectric direct discharge plasma, have shown strong disinfection ability. Compared to standard disinfection and sterilization methods using 170°C pressurized hot air, 120°C pressurized hot water vapor, wet chemistry, or low pressure plasmas, cold atmospheric pressure air plasmas offer the following: advantage:

1) Treatment at atmospheric pressure allows the disinfection of objects that can be damaged by vacuum or overpressure. 2) There are no expensive vacuum or pressurized chambers and pumps. 3) No wet chemistry. 4) Deep cleaning, no residue. 5) Low operating temperature. 6) Gentle treatment of sensitive surfaces, including living tissue and open wounds. 7) Air or cheap non-toxic working gases. 8) Environmental respect.

Ultraviolet: UVC, ultraviolet light. It destroys the DNA of microorganisms and they are inactivated. The skin cannot be exposed to UVC, so it needs to be encapsulated with a strict and special measure. Example: the air passes through a capsule where the UVC deactivates viruses and bacteria.

Disinfection by silver thread fabric, washable products at 60° - 65°C, comfortable fit and great breathability; reusable product up to 100 times, it is a technical fabric with an active ingredient that neutralizes viruses and bacteria thanks to the silver ion composition of the yarn with which it is made.

Chromotherapy-led. Chromotherapy makes use of colors belonging to the visible spectrum. In a simple way, we can say that each color we perceive emits a certain energy. The energy interval with which we work goes from 380 nm to approximately 750 nm of wavelength, the former belonging to violet, and the latter to red.

1. Red light: This light reaches deep into the skin. Thus, it manages to accelerate the metabolism and improves the formation of collagen. All this favors the whitening of the skin and an increase in its elasticity, helping to reduce wrinkles and making it an anti-aging treatment.

2. Blue light: blue light is really beneficial in aesthetics thanks to its anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. For this reason, facial chromotherapy with blue light favors the elimination of acne and a recovery of the skin, given its calming power 3. Green light: this type of light is quite similar to blue light, so it is also quite suitable for blackhead and acne removal treatments, but it is also a great anti-inflammatory and decongestant; benefits for the depigmentation of blemished skin and for skin damaged by age or the sun.

4. Yellow light: draining and rejuvenating effects. Among its aesthetic benefits are its power to illuminate and unify skin tone, reduce blemishes and hide wrinkles.

Benefits for the skin: 1. Relaxation: facial chromotherapy helps reduce facial rigidity thanks to the therapeutic effect of color on our body.

2: Detoxification: it achieves a bactericidal and cleansing effect on the body that makes chromotherapy the ideal treatment for the reduction of blemishes, acne and rosacea.

3. Biostimulation: this benefit of facial chromotherapy with LED light is what makes our skin look revitalized, rejuvenated and nourished. All this thanks to its cell renewal power and its anti-wrinkle power.

Disinfection by: 1) Aromatherapy: essential oils with antiviral, antibacterial and anti-mold properties. 2) Electricity. Tissues or materials through which circulates current that destroys pathogens. 3) Alcohol. 4) Soap

In view of Figure 1, it can be seen how the device of the invention is constituted from a body with the function of the main frame (1d) with fastening means to the user's head (2), an articulation element for the mask ( 3) which may include a clip, some magnet-type seals (4), Velcro, silicone elements, or other equivalent means (it may even be by pressure by elastic fastening means). Figure 2 shows an element (5) that allows coupling (net or cover) and fixing the mask. There is an area that fixes the closed mask (6) with Velcro, magnets or another equivalent means, always seeking an optimal seal. Figure 3 shows the net-type cover (7) in which to include an FFP2-type mask; the device is open with the mask closed to avoid contamination of the inside of the mask. In Figure 4 we see an open device with a surgical mask (8) folded on itself to prevent internal contamination. The mask is attached to the hinge by a clip.

In Figure 5, the coupling element (7) of the mask is smaller and a part of the mask (9) can be seen protruding.

In Figure 6, the coupling element has a tubular structure and is part of a filtered air flow aspirator and/or diffuser device. In the supplementary element (1S) there is a filter (3f) with a motor (3m) with a simplified drive propeller (3h) with [3(f,m,h)]. The filtered air is driven by the tubes (2in) towards the expulsion holes and/or slots (2a), diffused towards (2b) and sucked in through the suction holes and/or slots (2b), returning through the tube ( 2ex) to 3(f), (3m), (3h). An air screen is created between (2a) and (2b) and diffuse air curtain by (2a).

Figure 7 describes a filtered air flow diffuser and/or aspirator device with closed circuit and open circuit.

Figures 8, 9 and 10 show a schematic of the manual and mechanical sealing device by positive and/or negative air pressure described on page 8 of this report.

Figure 11 describes a variant of Figure 2 with a support device (1DA) that includes a suction device and/or filtered air flow diffuser described on page 7 of this report.

Figure 12 shows a front view of figure 1 with a surgical mask (8) and nasal filter (1fn) that can be part of the body with the main frame function (1d) or be independent and attachable.

Figures 13-16: show a variant where the device of the invention forms an indivisible unit with the rest of the mask. In figure 15, since there is a nasal filter (1fn), you can eat and drink breathing filtered air through the nose, avoiding infections. (5v): main frame inner margin. (5h): cover with window leaf function.

NOTES - Anti-fog function by filtered air flow: the air flow surrounds the lenses of glasses from behind and from the front, preventing fogging.
