Title: Face mask
Inventor: OWEN ADDISON
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 2020-09-30
Abstract: A geometry of a face mask (300, fig 3) is determined by collecting facial data 102 of a user 104 based on a point cloud with a plurality of points on the nose, eye and chin regions of the user, and using a mask geometry determination unit 106 to determine an estimated face size based on the eye and/or chin region data and determining a best-fit Gaussian curve to a profile of the user’s nose based on the nasal data. The determined data is used to select parameters for the main body (302, fig 3) and seal (304, fig 3) of the face mask. The selection of a face mask geometry based on the user’s facial profile may reduce the force required to hold the mask against the user’s face and reduce potential leakage. The facial data may be collected by a 3D scanner or camera. The facial data may be used to select the best fitting of a predetermined selection of face mask seals and bodies.
