Multifunctional Face Mask

Abstract

The multifunctional facemask is intended to improve on conventional facemask devices through an innovative facemask design that is designed to provide a convenient means of carrying while incorporating other problem-solving features. In other words, the device is designed to be rolled up, folded, or carried in a compact form, so as to be worn on the user's wrist as a fancy handkerchief or snap bracelet, when not being used as a facemask. To accomplish this, the device preferably uses buttons to secure the mask device to the wrist. More specifically, the device includes a flexible mask member and a face attachment member. The device further includes one or more fastening elements that can engage with the face attachment member, so as to enable the user to carry the facemask on the user's wrist or elbow. Thus, the multifunctional facemask is a user-friendly face mask device with improved functionality.
