Description: TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention generally relates to facemask. More specifically, the present invention relates to strapless wireframe face mask having double layered fabric for preventing the infectious elements.
BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] The masks, as disclosed in various prior art, uses facial straps in an attempt for bring about a close fit to the wearer's face. Therefore there is a need to improve the material of the mask's seal into the wearer's face to make the seal conform to the wearer's facial shape.
[0004] Currenty many problems associated with the use of facial masks. For example, there is the requirement of using straps with the mask for fit between the mask and the user's facial shape. The elastic straps are the primary means of securing the mask to the users's face, as these securing means pass over the top of the user's head and around the sides of the user's head. In many cases these straps generate considerable pressure in order to create and maintain a secure fit on the user's skin.
[0005] Face masks have constructed using straps which loop around the ears or the back of the head to grip the mask itself against the face. This design results in users suffering back-of-the-ear pressure, as the elastic straps irritate the skin behind the ears. The straps often become uncomfortable, for extended-time users.
[0006] Face masks which are held against the face by ear straps often have gapof air around the edge of the mask, allowing unfiltered air to enter in or out of the users. One of the solution has been to pull the mask tighter against the face, which does create a better fit gaps, however wearing a tight face masks typically makes the face mask less comfortable to wear and leave impression marks in the skin of wearer.
[0007] In the wake of Covid 19 crisis, wearing face mask is an essential precaution to keep one safe from the infection. But as in our day to day life we need to wear the mask for an average of 10 to 12 hours per day. And in general every mask which we are getting from the market, have a provision of straps. So when ever we have to use mask, we have to hook up these straps on our both ears or on the back side of the neck. The straps do not causes any problem when we are using mask for short time period, but for longer time periods these straps causes pain on the ears or on the neck part and sometimes leaves mark on the skin.
[0008] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a portable oxygen generating device that seeks to overcome shortcomings in the existing solutions and utilize techniques, which are robust, portable, efficient, cost-effective.

[0034] The present invention generally relates to facemask. More specifically, the present invention relates to strapless wireframe face mask having double layered fabric for preventing the infectious elements.
[0035] An aspect of the present invention provides a strapless facemask, the facemask includes: a fabric structure having at least two layers, separated from one another, of woven or non woven fabric, that prevents passage of particulate matter through it, wherein the fabric structure is machined in a shape that enables easy folding symmytrically; a metallic wire disposed between the at least two layers of the fabric such that the fabric structure is stitched around the metallic wire to facilitate in providing a structural stability to the facemask; and two flaps coupled to two flaring ends of the facemask, the two flaps configured to fit over a wearer's ear, thereby securing the facemask over the wearer's mouth and nose, wherein structural stability of the face mask due to the metallic wire provides better fitment of the facemask, and negates requirement of a strap for firmly securing the facemask over the wearer’s mouth and nose.
[0036] In an aspect, the material of the metallic wire is selected from a list comprising of Spring Steel, alloy Steel, carbon Steel Cobalt-Nickel, Copper Base Alloy, nickel Base Alloy, Stainless Steel, and Titanium
[0037] In an aspect, at least two metallic wires are disposed between the at least two layers of the fabric such that the at least two metallic wire cross each other perpendicularly.
[0038] In an aspect, the material of the at least two layers of fabric is Polyester.
[0039] In an aspect, the mask is washable and reusable.
[0040] In an aspect, the PM comprises virus, bacteria, dust.
[0041] In an aspect, the PM includes paticles of size 2.5µ to 10µ.
[0042] FIGs. 1A-G provides various views of a strapeless facemask according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0043] In an embodiment, a facemask is disclosed. The facemask can include a fabric structure. The fabric structure can include a lurality of layers. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes two layers of fabric. Fabric can be include fabrics made of woven or non-woven fabric. The types of fabric are strategically selected to facilitate in limit passage of particulate matter (PM). The particulate matter can include particles that can include bacteria, germs, virus, dust particle an the like.
[0044] The layers of fabric are not not fused together but are separate to increase the efficiency of the fabrics to limit passage of PM particles having diameter between 2.5 to 10 micrometer. The material of the two layers of fabric includes but not limiting in any way to Polyester.
[0045] In an embodiment, the facemask includes a metallic based wire that is stiched in between the two layers of fabric. The double layered fabric facilitates in preventing the infectious particles to passthrough. The metallic wire acts as a wireframe of the facemask. Primarily the wireframe is used to define the geometry of the mask i.e. the mettalic wireframe provides a structural stability. Due to structural stability of the facemask, the mask easily fits over the mouth, and nose region of wearer’s face. Further, the metallic wireframe provides springiness and flexibility to the facemask that in turn facilitates in providing a better holding capability of the mask on the wearer’s face. It would be apparent to the person skilled in the art that the metallic wireframe will facilitate in holding the facemask firmly against the wearer’s face that would negate the requirement of straps for holding the facemask against the wearer’s face.
[0046] In an embodiment, the double layered fabric are stitched on both side of the metal wireframe to embed and hide the mettalic wireframe. Further, the facemask includes two flaps on the two flaring ends of the mask to facilitate the mounting and unmounting of the mask on the wearer’s face. The facemask can be washed and can be reused again. In terms of folding capability, it can be folded like a plane sheet but cannot be folded along the metal frame structure.
[0047] In an embodiment, the two flaps can be coupled to two flaring ends of the facemask, the two flaps are configured such that they facilitate to fit over the wearer's ear, thereby securing the facemask over the wearer's mouth and nose. The structural stability of the face mask due to the metallic wire provides better fitment of the facemask, and negates requirement of a strap for firmly securing the facemask over the wearer’s mouth and nose.
[0048] In an embodiment, the material of the metallic wire is selected from a list comprising of Spring Steel, alloy Steel, carbon Steel Cobalt-Nickel, Copper Base Alloy, nickel Base Alloy, Stainless Steel, and Titanium. The material of the metallic wire is chosen as such that they provide springiness and flexibility to facilitate the better holding capability of the facemask against the face of the wearer.
RESULTS AND ADVANTAGES:

[0049] This mask will result a better convenience in wearing it for long hours. Unmounting of the mask is very simple, as there is no straps on the ears or on the neck or head part. This mask can be mounted on the face using one hand only; therefore, unlike to the conventional mask where we need two hands in general to wear a mask properly on the face, this mask is very helpful for handicapped person, who is having single hand only
