Title: Nino Granatiero and the Face Piece Seal Check Device.
Introduction
Nino Granatiero is an inventor associated with East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and Honeywell International Inc. His work includes a respirator accessory designed to help wearers check whether a face mask fits and seals properly.
Latest Patents
Granatiero is credited with 1 patent: “Face Piece Seal Check Device.” The invention attaches to a respirator face mask and uses an outer frame connected to a movable cap by a flexible link. The link biases the cap open during normal use, while the wearer can manually move it into a sealed position for a positive-pressure fit test.
During the test, the cap’s sealing surface closes the exhalation valve assembly, allowing the wearer to exhale into the mask and assess its seal. Once the test is complete, releasing the device lets the flexible link return the cap to its open position.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects a practical focus on respirator fit testing and ease of operation. Its movable cap provides a way to temporarily seal the exhalation valve without preventing the mask’s ordinary use.
Collaborations
Granatiero is associated with Honeywell International Inc. His listed coworkers include Joseph Rodrigues and Paul Morelli.
Conclusion
Nino Granatiero’s patented face piece seal check device offers a straightforward mechanism for testing respirator fit, combining a manually operated seal with a flexible return to the mask’s normal operating position.
