Abstract

An exhalation valve (14) for a filtering face mask (10) has a flexible flap (24) that makes contact with a curved seal ridge (30) of a valve seat (26) when the valve (14) is in the closed position. The curvature of the seal ridge (30) corresponds to a deformation curve exhibited by the flexible flap (24) when secured as a cantilever at one end and exposed at its free portion to a uniform force and/or a force of at least the weight of the free portion of the flexible flap. A seal ridge curvature corresponding to a flexible flap exposed to uniform force allows the flexible flap (24) to exert a generally uniform pressure on the seal ridge to provide a good seal. A seal ridge curvature corresponding to a flexible flap exposed to a force of at least the weight of the flap's free portion allows the flexible flap (24) to be held in an abutting relationship to the seal ridge (30) under any static orientation by a minimum amount of force, thereby providing a face mask (10) with an extraordinary low pressure drop during an exhalation.
