Patent Summary

A personal portable respiratory apparatus provides cleaned air to a user via a flow generator and a coupled personal spatial respiratory interface. The interface includes an outlet configured to direct air flow within the user's ambient breathing proximity without requiring facial or head contact. The apparatus incorporates one or more sensors to detect the orientation of the personal spatial respiratory interface and a controller that adjusts apparatus operation based on sensor signals. Specifically, the controller is configured to change the flow direction of the air. The flow generator may utilize parallel blower stages to achieve high flow rates at low positive pressure, and the system may further integrate pollution filters, aromatic dispensers, or temperature control elements.
