Several prior art masks have been proposed that allow for some level of protection for an individual placing a device, such as a straw, through an opening of the opening area of the mask and into the wearer's mouth without removing the prior art masks. Sealing around the device has been mostly limited to using two panels in the opening area, one over the other, with the device inserted below an edge of the outer panel and then over a second panel edge into the wearer's mouth. The base provides protection by having one or more layers of filter material extended from one side of the base to the other side that covers then nasal and oral areas but providing access through the opening area. Some contagious diseases or other toxic substance may enter the wearer's mouth from around devices that are not sealed off by an opening's perimeter walls.
Prior art mask do not provide for carrying cargo items, such as a credit cards, a driver's license, blue tooth devices, ear buds, pens, or pencils. Additionally,
It is an object of this document to disclose a mask that overcomes the aforesaid deficiencies in the prior art.
It is another object of this document to provide a mask that need not be removed when the wearer wishes to place a device in the wearer's mouth.
It is yet another object of this document to provide a mask that provides one or more drapes that cover any device inserted in the user's or wearer's mouth making it less likely that contaminants will enter the user's mouth.
It is still yet another object of this document to disclose a mask that allows the user to carry light items such as a driver's license or a credit card, pen, or a pencil on the mask.
It is a further object of this document to disclose a mask with attachment slots that allow the mask to be worn over other facial coverings using the other facial covering's straps or ear loops to hold the mask in position.
It is a still further object of this mask to provide a mask that allows the user to place additional filter materials in the mask.
It is a yet further object of this document to disclose a mask that affords the opportunity to carry headsets such as ear buds to the mask.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The multifunctional mask, hereafter called mask, has a base covering that provides some level of protection to a wearer against harmful particles attempting to enter the nasal area and mouth of the wearer. The base covering, hereafter referred to as base, may take on a variety of forms as will be shown in the many various versions of the base. The base has a base first surface that is the front of the base facing outward when the mask is worn by the user (i.e., wearer) and a base second surface adjacent to a wearer's face. The mask may have one or more pockets that is/are sized to hold cargo such as a driver's license, a credit card, a pen, or a pencil. The mask may further have one or more of the following: a base filter pocket allowing filter material that may be mission specific; an opening area with an opening sized for a device to be inserted in a wearer's mouth; one or more drapes sized to drape over the base; one or more drape cargo pockets for carrying cargo items; a drape filter pocket for more filter material; a drape extension sized like the drape that attaches to the drape may extend downward or fold up over the base providing additional protection; a headset holder disposed and sized to hold headsets such as ear buds or bluetooth devices; and attachment slots, hear after called slots, that allow the mask to be attached to and be worn over other facial covering with the other facial covering's ear loops or straps passed through the slots holding the mask and the other facial covering to the wearer's face.
A version of the mask may be comprised of the base with the pockets and ear loops and the drape. The pockets will be located on each side of the wear's nose and mouth so as not to inhibit the flow of air into and out of the nose and the mouth. The base may further comprise the base filter pocket with the base having a base first part and a base second part with the base filter pocket formed there between. The drape may drape over the device when the device when the device is inserted in the wearer's mouth. The drape may also have the one side edge extended and the other side edge extended, the drape one side edge and drape measuring more than a height of the base as measured from a base top edge to a base bottom edge. The drape may be attached to the base so as to cover the base first surface from a base top edge to the base bottom edge allowing the drape to provide some additional level of protection. The drape with the one side edge and the other side edge extended may be folded over the base to provide yet another layer of protection. The drape may further include one or more drape cargo pockets positioned on either side of the user's nose with the pockets substantially the same as the pockets of the base. The drape may have a drape filter pocket disposed between the drape first surface and the drape second surface with the capability to insert filter material along a drape top edge.
An other version of the mask may comprise an other base and an other drape. The other base may be the base with no base filter pocket and having an opening area with an opening disposed and size to insert a device in the wearer's mouth. The opening area may further have an upper cover (i.e., primary cover) covering the opening, or the opening area may have the upper cover and a lower cover (i.e., secondary cover) covering the opening. The opening is exposed when the device is inserted under an upper cover bottom edge and pushing the upper cover bottom edge upward. The other version of the drape covers the opening area and may cover a portion of the device extended beyond the opening. The other version of the drape may have the drape filter pocket of the drape but may not have the drape cargo pockets. The upper cover and the lower cover may be made of stretch material that allows the opening to be opened and closed as the user inserts and withdraws, respectively, the device, such as a musical instrument or a straw, in and out of the wearer's mouth without removing the mask. The other version of the drape may cover the opening and drape over the instrument providing additional protection from contaminants attempting to enter the opening. The other version of the drape may be located to expose the opening area when the drape bottom edge is lifted upward and then cover portions of the instrument extending outward from the opening. The other version of the drape may have the drape filter pocket.
Yet another version of the mask may comprise the other mask and additionally have the drape extension sized to attach to the other drape and extend downward providing additional protection over the device inserted in the user's mouth. The drape extension is the drape with no drape cargo pockets.
Still yet an other version of the mask may have the other version of the base and the drape extension but with another version of the drape filter pocket with a drape pocket flap. The drape filter pocket is disposed between a drape first side surface of a drape first part and the drape second side surface of a drape second part with the filter material inserted by lifting the drape pocket flap that overlaps the drape first side surface as compared to the version of the drape filter pocket where the filter material is inserted along a drape top edge into the drape filter pocket.
A further version of the mask may be comprised of a further version of the base that is the base with the attachment slots and the headset holders. The ear loops may have one or more of the headset holders disposed and sized to hold headsets such as ear buds or bluetooth devices allowing the user to transmit and/or receive signals. The ear loops may be removable attached to the base using a two part fasteners. The attachment slots, hereafter called slots, allow base to be attached to and worn over another facial covering with the other facial covering's ear loops or straps passed through the slots and used to hold the masks on the other facial covering and to the wearer's face
A still further version of the mask may comprise a still further version of the base having the base filter pocket, the opening area, and attachment slots, detachable ear loops with communication holders. The still further masks has a further version of the on drape with drape cargo pockets and the other version of drape filter pocket with the pocket flap.
