Face mask tree
View Patent ↗This present invention relates to a mask or PPE storage device for storing protective face masks and other personal protective equipment, while helping to keep the stored face masks clean and hygienic for use. The mask storage device is a tree shaped stand and has a pole attached to a base, with several pegs or extenders attached to the pole. The pegs enable the users to easily hang their protective face mask or other accessories from the pegs. The mask storage stand offers a convenient and sanitary way to store masks while eating or drinking at bars, restaurants, schools, churches, or other similar places.
1. A PPE support tree comprising:
a base having an opening;
a pole having a first end and a second end, the first end sized and configured to fit within the opening;
a top element disposed at the second end of the pole; and
a plurality of pegs attached to the pole between the first and second ends, wherein each of the plurality of pegs comprise an upwardly extending element; and
wherein the base comprises a magnet for securing the base to a surface and a first indicia disposed on the base; and
wherein the top element comprises a second indicia disposed on the top element; and
wherein the plurality of pegs are removably attached to the pole and oriented so that none of the plurality of pegs share a vertical plane; and an electric motor and a reservoir and a pump in communication with the electric motor, wherein the reservoir includes a supply of sanitizing solution.
2. The PPE support tree as recited in claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a suction cup to secure the base to a surface.
3. The PPE support tree as recited in claim 1 , wherein the supply of sanitizing solution is hydrogen peroxide.
4. The PPE support tree as recited in claim 3 , wherein the supply of sanitizing solution is dispensed out of an opening in the pole.
5. The PPE support tree as recited in claim 1 further comprising an anti-microbial agent integral with the PPE support tree.
6. The PPE support tree as recited in claim 1 , wherein the electric motor rotates the pole about its longitudinal axis within the opening.
7. The PPE support tree as recited in claim 1 further comprising a UV light.
8. A face mask support comprising:
a weighted base having an opening centrally disposed along a top surface of the weighted base;
a pole having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is positioned in the opening and extending outwardly therefrom; the pole comprising a plurality of openings wherein the plurality of openings are used for dispersing a sanitizing solution provided from a pump and a reservoir in the weighted base;
a top affixed to the second end of the pole;
a plurality of pegs extending outwardly from the pole; and
an antimicrobial component; and
wherein the base comprises a magnet for securing the base to a surface and a first indicia; and
wherein the opening in the base is a cut-out in a center of an upper surface of the base; and
wherein the first end of the pole screws into the opening in the base.
9. The face mask support as recited in claim 8 , wherein the plurality of openings are for insertion of the plurality of pegs into the pole.
10. The face mask support as recited in claim 8 further comprising an electric motor for rotating the pole.
11. A sanitary face mask tree comprising:
a central pole disposed in an opening in a base, the central pole having a top element secured to an end of the central pole opposite the base;
a plurality of openings in the central pole;
a plurality of pegs, wherein each of the plurality of pegs are into at least one of the plurality of openings in the central pole; and
a sanitizing means, wherein the sanitizing means is at least one of a UV light and a sanitizing agent; and
wherein each of the plurality of pegs comprises more than one vertical holder; and
wherein the plurality of pegs are removably attached to the central pole and oriented so that none of the plurality of pegs share a vertical plane; and
wherein the base comprises a supplemental weight to provide stability to the base.
