This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032627 titled 'IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO FACE MASKS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for face masks, including filter masks, and methods for their production. The masks have a mask body with a cavity for the nose and mouth of the wearer, and a sealing member that engages with the wearer's face. The mask body includes a filter and a gas inlet, with the filter located in one region and the gas inlet located in another region. The mask also has a nasal portion for the nose, a mouth portion for the mouth, and cheek portions that extend across the wearer's cheeks.
