FIRE ESCAPE MASK

摘要

A smoke mask includes a moistened generally planar mask constructed of a moisture absorbing material that is sized to cover the nose and mouth of a user. A peripheral edge of the mask (8) includes a pressure sensitive adhesi ve (20) for securing the mask (8) to the face of the user. At least one slit (1 4) in the peripheral edge of the mask (8) enables the mask (8) to adapt to the contour of the face of the user for obtaining a tight fit of the mask. The mask (8) is used in combination with a pull-apart storage structure having first and second generally planar sealing sheets (4, 6). The sealing sheets (4, 6) are sealingly attached to each other along an outer peripheral edge (24) for forming a moisture-impermeable hollow interior in which the moisten ed mask (8) is disposed. The combination includes provisions for i) separating the first and second sealing sheets (4, 6) for removing the moistened mask ( 8) disposed in the hollow interior of the pull-apart storage structure, and ii) for exposing the pressure sensitive adhesive (20) upon removal of the moistened mask (8) from the hollow interior of the pull-apart storage structure.
