A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883695B2) discloses a respirator mask with a unique design aimed at enhancing functionality and ease of use. The mask comprises a facepiece with a regulator engagement region that includes an aperture and a protrusion, along with a regulator featuring a fluid flow path and a latch mechanism. The regulator is designed to be rotatable within the facepiece aperture, allowing for engagement with the protrusion to actuate the latch and obstruct the fluid flow path. This innovative design ensures a secure fit and efficient operation of the respirator mask.

Furthermore, the patent details additional features of the respirator mask, such as the configuration of the protrusion on the facepiece, the positioning of the latch activation region, and the interaction between the latch and the lever within the regulator. These elements work in tandem to control the obstruction and unobstruction of the fluid flow path based on the rotational position of the regulator. The inclusion of a diaphragm valve and a lever mechanism further enhances the functionality of the mask, allowing for seamless transitions between obstructed and unobstructed flow states. Overall, the patented respirator mask showcases a sophisticated design that prioritizes user experience and operational efficiency in respiratory protection equipment.
