Abstract

My invention, Animasks Kid's Dust Masks Animasks aka Child Friendly Filter Masks, is new in the field of children's safety filter masks. They are intended to solve and or improve the problems associated with children needing to wear safety filter masks. Right now, stores and hospitals carry expensive, plain, unappealing filter masks which may be scary or intimidation to children. In addition to that, most stores carry safety filter masks that do not fit children well, which means they have to be modified in emergency situations. My masks however, solves these problems because they are made to be an inexpensive, simple, fun, yet provides an effective way for children to be safe. “No modifications needed”. They are made of printed die-cut cotton fibers for versatile fun character designs, with OEM adjusters and staples. My masks will give hospitals and everyday consumers a choice when choosing between what's already available to them, provide a better overall fit for children, make children want to be safe when wearing the fun designs, and be cost effective.
