Abstract
A smoke mask includes a moistened generally planar breathing filter sized to cover the nose and mouth of a user. A transparent eye shield, which may be either a plastic film or goggles, is attached to the breathing filter. Pressure sensitive adhesive is located on the peripheral edge of one surface of the mask structure for securing the mask to the face of the user. A release sheet covers the adhesive so that the adhesive is exposed upon removal of the release sheet. One or more slits in the peripheral edge of the mask enable the mask to adapt to the contour of the face of the user. A pull-apart tab facilitates opening of the mask structure by the user. The smoke mask may be used in combination with a waterproof canister, in which the mask is stored in a wetted and rolled condition. The canister may include threaded halves, or may be sealed by a pull-off cover or a threaded cover.
