ACTIVE VENTING SYSTEM AND DEVICES INCORPORATING ACTIVE VENTING SYSTEM

1 . An active venting system for venting air from a device covering mouth and nose, said active venting system comprises:

a power source;

a blower coupled to the power source; and

an electronic device or a printed circuit board coupled to the blower,

wherein the blower is turned on or off by the electronic device or printed circuit board to vent exhaled or dead air from the respirator body.

2 . The active venting system of claim 1 , wherein the blower is a micro-fan.

3 . The active venting system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device or the printed circuit board triggers suitable control signals for the blower to regulate the speed and amount of airflow.

4 . (canceled)

5 . (canceled)

6 . The active venting system of claim 1 , wherein the power source is a detachable and chargeable power source.

7 . (canceled)

8 . The active venting system of claim 1 , wherein the power source can be recharged via a USB-micro cable to a power bank while the active venting system is still operating.

9 . The active venting system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the devices are units coverings face and mouth such as protective gears and respiratory devices.

10 . (canceled)

11 . A respiratory device comprising:

a respirator body which covers face and mouth of a wearer to form a relatively closed area sealed from ambient air;

at least one first filter integrally disposed in the respirator body for filtering inhaled air; and

at least one active venting system functionally coupled to the respirator body wherein the active venting system operates to vent air from the respirator body,

wherein the active venting system comprises:

a power source;

a blower coupled to the power source; and

an electronic device or a printed circuit board coupled to the blower,

wherein the blower is turned on or off by the electronic device or printed circuit board to vent exhaled air from the respirator body.

12 . The respiratory device of claim 11 , further comprising at least one air guide positioned at a one air guide positioned around the active venting system and surrounding the nose and mouth region of wearer to channel and separate exhaled air and inhaled air.

13 . The respiratory device of claim 12 , wherein the air guide is positioned at an angle inclined with respect to an ergonomic facial profile to remove excess exhaled air; or the air guide is positioned so that at least one gap exists between the air guide and the base of the respirator body to allow excess exhaled air to escape in case the excess exhaled air is not vented through the active venting system.

14 . (canceled)

15 . The respiratory device of claim 11 , wherein the active venting system is attached to a one way control valve with a membrane to prevent ambient air from entering through the blower inlet or outlet into the respirator body at all times; or the active venting system is attached to a second filter to prevent ambient air from entering the respirator body.

16 . The respiratory device of claim 15 , wherein the one way control valve with the membrane or the second filter is attached either to an inlet or outlet of the blower.

17 . (canceled)

18 . (canceled)

19 . The respiratory device of claim 11 , wherein inlet or outlet of the blower is attached to a latch to prevent ambient air from entering the respirator body.

20 . (canceled)

21 . The respiratory device of claim 19 , wherein the latch is embedded with a sensor that automatically closes when the power of the active venting system runs out; or the latch is manually closed by user to block the blower opening.

22 . (canceled)

23 . The respiratory device of claim 12 , wherein the respirator body, the active venting system and the air guide are together collapsible into a pocket size.

24 . The respiratory device of claim 12 , wherein the respirator body is any of the following: an air filtering respirator; an air purifying respirator; a disposable or reusable mask; a non-disposable mask; or an escape hood.
