Patent attributes
A scented mask is disclosed that includes: a filter region with one or more pleats that include a mask material and a pleat fold; and one or more scented patches. Each scented patch includes a patch lid attached to the mask material before the pleat fold; a patch-impermeable layer attached to the mask material after the pleat fold; and a layer impregnated with a scent agent attached to the patch-impermeable layer. The mask is constructed to transition from a sealed configuration to an unsealed configuration when a user places the mask over her nose and mouth: the sealed configuration where the mask material before and after the pleat fold are folded on each other and the patch lid covers and seals the impregnated layer, inhibiting the vaporization of the scent agent; and the unsealed configuration where the pleat fold is opened and the patch lid is separated from the impregnated layer, allowing for the vaporization of the scent agent.
