Garment apparatus and methodology that facilitates wearing of mask

Abstract

Aspects directed towards mask-wearing are disclosed. In one example, a garment apparatus includes a shirt and a shirt extension having a first and second end. The first end is affixed to an inside portion of the shirt, and the second end includes a mask attachment mechanism that facilitates attaching and detaching a mask. In another example, a mask apparatus includes ear lobes, a shell coupled to the ear lobes, and a fragrance region positioned on an inner portion of the shell in which the material of the fragrance region is different than the material of the shell. In yet another example, a fragrance apparatus includes a fragrance region in which fluid is absorbed by a moisture-absorbent material, and an attachment mechanism couples the fragrance apparatus to an inner portion of a mask. A seal is affixed to the fragrance region and prevents an evaporation of the fluid.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A garment apparatus, comprising:
 a shirt; and   a shirt extension having a first end and a second end, the first end affixed to an inside portion of the shirt, and the second end comprising a mask attachment mechanism configured to facilitate attaching and detaching a mask.   
     
     
         2 . The garment apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the mask attachment mechanism is a Velcro attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         3 . The garment apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the mask attachment mechanism is a ring attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         4 . The garment apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the mask attachment mechanism is a clamp attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         5 . The garment apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the shirt extension comprises at least one of mesh material or fleece material. 
     
     
         6 . The garment apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the shirt extension is sewn onto the inside portion of the shirt. 
     
     
         7 . A mask apparatus, comprising:
 ear lobes;   a shell coupled to the ear lobes; and   a fragrance region positioned on an inner portion of the shell, wherein a material of the fragrance region is different than a material of the shell.   
     
     
         8 . The mask apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the fragrance region comprises a moisture-absorbent material configured to absorb at least one drop of fluid. 
     
     
         9 . The mask apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising a removable seal affixed to the fragrance region, wherein the removable seal is configured to prevent an evaporation of the at least one drop of fluid absorbed by the moisture-absorbent material while the removable seal is affixed to the fragrance region. 
     
     
         10 . The mask apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the fragrance region is configured to facilitate a coupling of a removable fragrance component. 
     
     
         11 . The mask apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the fragrance region comprises a material that facilitates a coupling of a repositionable adhesive. 
     
     
         12 . The mask apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the fragrance region comprises at least one pocket configured to receive the removable fragrance component. 
     
     
         13 . The mask apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the fragrance region comprises a material that facilitates a Velcro coupling of the removable fragrance component. 
     
     
         14 . A fragrance apparatus, comprising:
 a fragrance region comprising a moisture-absorbent material, wherein the fragrance region includes at least one drop of fluid absorbed by the moisture-absorbent material;   an attachment mechanism configured to facilitate a coupling of the fragrance apparatus to an inner portion of a mask; and   a seal affixed to the fragrance region, wherein the seal is configured to prevent an evaporation of the at least one drop of fluid while the seal is affixed to the fragrance region.   
     
     
         15 . The fragrance apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one drop of fluid is a fluid comprising a medicinal aroma. 
     
     
         16 . The fragrance apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises a repositionable adhesive. 
     
     
         17 . The fragrance apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises a Velcro material. 
     
     
         18 . The fragrance apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the seal comprises a first portion adjacent to a second portion, and wherein a bending of the fragrance region creates a gap between the first portion of the seal and the second portion of the seal that enables an aroma associated with the at least one drop of fluid to escape. 
     
     
         19 . The fragrance apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the seal is a removable seal. 
     
     
         20 . The fragrance apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the moisture absorbent material is a gauze pad.
