Abstract:
1. A dust filtering mask for adaptably fitting into the inner confines of a motorcycle helmet or similar protective head gear, said helmet or protective headgear worn by the operator of a dirt bike, all-terrain-vehicle, or other equipment used to function over un-improved roads or dusty terrain, comprising: two identical polygonally-shaped segments of filter media with at least four sides each, wherein said segments are joined together along three corresponding sides of each segment to form three consecutive seams, comprising a nose seam, a mouth seam, and a chin seam, wherein applying slight inward pressure to the seams of the conjoined polygonally-shaped segments-creates a hollow conical shape with an open end and an opposite closed end, wherein said open end and said closed end define an axis through the mask; and a disc composed of filter material, wherein said disc is inserted into said conical shape perpendicularly to said axis, further wherein the entire circumferential edge of said disc is adhesively fixed to the inner surfaces of the polygonally-shaped segments, resulting in permanence of the conical opening; and a pad composed of filter media fashioned into an ovoid shape, said ovoid-shaped pad further containing a center cutout section; and the open end of the conical shape formed by the polygonally-shaped segments is adhesively attached to a substantial portion of the perimeter of said ovoid pad; and a right rectangular prism comprised of filter media, wherein said prism is adhesively attached to each corresponding edge of the two polygonally-shaped segments near the junction of the two edges of the polygonally-shaped segments with the nose seam.
