Abstract

The present invention relates to a barrier, and more particularly, to an emission bag where a user coughs or sneezes into the emission bag, with the emission bag acting as a barrier such that pathogens transmitted from a nose or mouth will be confined to an interior of the emission bag. The emission bag has small perforations allowing it to breathe, so that when a user coughs or sneezes into the emission bag, it doesn'"'"'t immediately fill full of air and cause a blow-back of the pathogens onto a user'"'"'s face. Additionally, the small perforations are medicated with an anti-septic, such that emissions are sterilized upon passing through the small perforations.

Claims

1. An emission bag, for covering a nose and mouth in such a manner that pathogens transmitted from the nose and mouth will be confined to an interior of the emission bag, comprising:

a piece of material with an opening; and

a bag attached with the piece of material and opening, such that an entrance to an interior of the emission bag is through the opening.

2. An emission bag as set forth in claim 1, wherein a top film is attached with the emission bag, whereby manipulating the top film exposes the opening.

3. An emission bag as set forth in claim 1, wherein a bottom film is attached with a bottom portion of the piece of material, whereby manipulating the bottom film exposes the bag.

4. An emission bag as set forth in claim 1, wherein the piece of material is constructed from a material selected from a group consisting of plastic, metal, and paperboard.

5. An emission bag as set forth in claim 1, wherein the piece of material has perforations, allowing it to fold along the perforations and thereby creating two opposing sides.

6. An emission bag as set forth in claim 5, wherein the piece of material has an enclosure apparatus, such that when the piece of material is folded along the perforations, the enclosure apparatus on the two opposing sides come into contact with each other and thereby seal the emission bag.

7. An emission bag as set forth in claim 6, where the enclosure apparatus is selected from a group consisting of adhesive tabs, tape, Velcro, glue, and twist-ties.

8. An emission bag as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bag is constructed of a material selected from a group consisting of plastic, paper and cloth.

9. An emission bag as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bag has small perforations allowing the bag to breathe.

10. An emission bag as set forth in claim 9, wherein the small perforations are medicated with an anti-septic on the interior of the bag, such that emissions are sterilized upon passing through the small perforations from an interior of the bag to an exterior of the bag.

11. An emission bag as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bag has an entrance and a base and the entrance has an area and the base has an area, where the area of the entrance is smaller than the area of the base.

12. An emission bag as set forth in claim 2, wherein a bottom film is attached with a bottom portion of the piece of material, whereby manipulating the bottom film exposes the bag.

13. An emission bag as set forth in claim 12, wherein the piece of material is constructed from a material selected from a group consisting of plastic and paperpiece of material.

14. An emission bag as set forth in claim 13, wherein the piece of material has perforations, allowing it to fold along the perforations and thereby creating two opposing sides.

15. An emission bag as set forth in claim 14, wherein the piece of material has an enclosure apparatus, such that when the piece of material is folded along the perforations, the enclosure apparatus on the two opposing sides come into contact with each other and thereby seal the emission bag.

16. An emission bag as set forth in claim 15, where the enclosure apparatus is selected from a group consisting of adhesive tabs, tape, Velcro, glue, and twist-ties.

17. An emission bag as set forth in claim 16, wherein the bag is constructed of a material selected from a group consisting of plastic, paper and cloth.

18. An emission bag as set forth in claim 17, wherein the bag has small perforations allowing the bag to breathe.

19. An emission bag as set forth in claim 18, wherein the small perforations are medicated with an anti-septic, such that emissions are sterilized upon passing through the small perforations from an interior of the bag to an exterior of the bag.

20. An emission bag as set forth in claim 19, wherein the bag has an entrance and a base and the entrance has an area and the base has an area, where the area of the entrance is smaller than the area of the base.
