Zusammenfassung:A face mask made of woven or non-woven material that accommodates the anatomical features of the face. It has a nose recess or nose-locating space, extended chin space and close fitting cheek areas, for use in medical environments or for general public use. The mask has been developed with innovations that provide security to the wearer by its to the fitting the face particularly without moving upwards or downwards when moving the jaw. This is unlike all other masks tested which either move upwards to reveal the mouth or slide downward to reveal the nostrils due to the movement of the jaw and face when talking or coughing etc. The stability and secure fit to the face is achieved by following the anatomical configuration of the face and by the positioning of the slightly elastic holding straps-the upper one is positioned level with the upper nose to the top of the ear and the lower strap from the mid point of the mask to under the ear-the straps form a loop around the ear. The forces and vectors of the whole mask are directed around the balance point of the mask such that any the movement of the mask in one direction is countered by forces in the other. Furthermore the mask provides protection against cross-contamination and infection by incorporating a nanotechnology anti-microbial component that holds and kills membrane-bound organisms, as well as protecting the wearer against pollen and similar allergens.
