MODULAR VOICE AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM FOR PROTECTIVE MASK

摘要

Disclosed is a modular voice amplification system for a protective mask that allows connection of a single amplifier assembly to masks of varying configurations through minimal adjustment of the system. Adapter plates in the form of mounting brackets are provided, each of which is configured for attachment to the single amplifier assembly, but is individually configured for attachment to protective masks of varying configurations through differing attachment mechanisms provided on each adapter plate.

主权项

1. A modular voice amplification system for a protective mask, comprising:
a voice amplifier module having a front cover and a back cover, at least one electrical connector extending outward from said back cover, and a plurality of connector hubs extending outward from said back cover; a first mounting bracket comprising:
a first flat plate having a front side configured to sit flat against said back cover and having a plurality of openings configured to align with said plurality of connector hubs when said first flat plate is positioned against said back cover;a male electrical plug extending outward from a back side of said first mounting bracket and positioned for electrical connection to said at least one electrical connector on said voice amplifier module when said first flat plate is positioned against said back cover; anda plurality of retainer clips configured to removably attach said first mounting bracket to an exterior rim of a mouthpiece of a protective mask; and a second mounting bracket comprising:
a second flat plate having a front side configured to sit flat against said back cover and having a plurality of openings configured to align with said plurality of connector hubs when said second flat plate is positioned against said back cover;an electronics connection hub extending outward from a back side of said second mounting bracket and positioned for electrical connection to said at least one electrical connector on said voice amplifier module when said second flat plate is positioned against said back cover, an electrical cable extending from said electronics connection hub, and an electrical connector positioned at an end of said electrical cable; and a plurality of retainer clips configured to removably attach said second mounting bracket to an interior rim of a mouthpiece of a protective mask.
