==RESPIRATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009490 titled 'RESPIRATOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a powered air purifying respirator (PARR) that consists of a yoke and a pump. The yoke has an air inlet and an air outlet connected by an air flow passage. The pump is located inside the yoke and is designed to pump air from the inlet to the outlet through the flow passage. The yoke is shaped to fit around the user's neck and be supported by the shoulders. A hood for the PARR has a head portion to accommodate the user's head and a one-way exhaust valve to release air from the hood's internal environment to the external environment. The hood is designed to receive the yoke of the PARR.

* The patent application describes a powered air purifying respirator (PARR) that includes a yoke and a pump.
* The yoke has an air inlet and an air outlet connected by an air flow passage.
* The pump is located inside the yoke and is responsible for pumping air from the inlet to the outlet through the flow passage.
* The yoke is designed to fit around the user's neck and be supported by the shoulders.
* The PARR also includes a hood with a head portion to accommodate the user's head.
* The hood has a one-way exhaust valve that allows air to be vented from the internal environment of the hood to the external environment.
* The hood is designed to receive the yoke of the PARR.

== Potential Applications ==
* Personal protective equipment for individuals working in environments with airborne contaminants.
* Medical settings where respiratory protection is required, such as during surgeries or in isolation units.
* Industrial settings where workers are exposed to hazardous particles or gases.

== Problems Solved ==
* Provides a comfortable and secure fit for the user, allowing for extended use without discomfort.
* Ensures a continuous supply of clean air by effectively purifying the inhaled air.
* Prevents the inhalation of harmful particles or gases, protecting the user's respiratory system.

== Benefits ==
* Improved user comfort and mobility due to the yoke design that fits around the neck and is supported by the shoulders.
* Efficient air purification system provided by the pump and flow passage.
* Effective ventilation through the one-way exhaust valve in the hood, maintaining a clean internal environment.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a powered air purifying respirator (parr) has a yoke and a pump. the yoke defines an air inlet and an air outlet fluidly connected via an air flow passage. the pump is disposed within an interior of the yoke and is configured to pump air from the air inlet to the air outlet via the air flow passage. the yoke is shaped to fit around the user's neck and be supported by the user's shoulders. a hood for a parr has a head portion configured to receive a user's head, and a one-way exhaust valve configured to vent air from an internal environment of the hood to an environment external to the hood. the hood is configured to receive a yoke of the parr.
