Description
INTERACTIVE MASK 2 1 2 1 7~ ~
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates masks and in particular interactive masks having S interchangeable facial features and an arti~ulating jaw.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The uses of masks are very well known. for example, masks are used in the theatre, at halloween, for costume parties and the like.
The use of masks in the theatre dates back to ancient Greek and Roman times to identify the cha~acter represented in the play. Typically, these early masks were caricatures showing images of happy or sad faces that were tied to the users' head. The images were painted on a flat surface which were tied to the users' head. These masks were one dimensional.
Later masks included an articulating jaw and included a face portion and a chin portion which were hingably attached together. These masks had only limited motion between the face portion and the chin portion.
U.S patent 4,1~1,304 issued to B. Cooper on October 24, 1978 shows a mask having a face portion and a chin portion that are connected with elastic band attachments.
20 These allowed for movement in a plurality of directions. This mask, however, would not be held snugly against different shaped users' chins.
It is desirable to have a mask that will be held in engagement with the users chin so that when the user moves their chin the mask chin portion will also move. Further 212~7 ~6 it is desirable to have one mask where the user can change the facial features.
There are presently a number of different uses for masks. For instance masks are used in therapy to help patients act out their feelings by adopting a mask that shows those feelings. Therefore one mask which could be used to show different feelings would be 5 desirable.
Further, for theatre companies and drama classes it is desirable to have one mask that could be used in a number of different plays and capable of depicting different expressions and images.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENl'ION
The present invention discloses an interactive mask. The interactive mask has a mask base and adjustable straps. A plurality of attachable features can be releasably attached to the upper face portion and the chin portion. The adjustable straps secure the mask to the head of a user.
