Title: Wearable air purifier
Inventor: JAMES MURRAY ORCHARD
IPC: A62B18/00
Filed: 2020-12-18
Abstract: A wearable air purification system 10 comprising a wearable support 12 configured to be supported on or around a head region of a user; and an air delivery mask 20 connected to the wearable support 16 which is shaped to bound an air delivery region 22 and to deliver a flow of air to the air delivery region 22. The air delivery mask 20 includes an illumination source comprising one or more light emitting elements 62 located along a longitudinal edge 64 of the air delivery mask 20. The system or ‘air purifier’ of the invention is configured to direct light to the area occupied by the user’s mouth when the air purifier is worn, as well as in some examples providing illumination to a mask or visor of the product itself. In one sense, the examples of the invention provide a more visually appealing product but importantly the form of illumination provided means that the user’s face and particularly the mouth region is more visible to others which therefore reduces one of the drawbacks of conventional masks which tend to obscure facial features which makes understanding conversation more challenging.
