Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is to be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather are provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the disclosure are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

As previously mentioned, conventional masks typically provide only one of an ear-mount and a head-mount style of wear. This is clearly unsatisfactory for wearers desiring an optional ear-hook or head-mounted type.

An object of an embodiment of the present disclosure is to provide a dual-purpose mask that can be worn by a wearer while selecting one of an ear-hook type and a head-wearing type. For this reason, the idea of the present disclosure is to provide left and right straps attached to left and right wearing sides of a mask body of a mask, and to allow the left and right straps to be coupled to each other to form a head-worn wearing style and to be individually operated at the left and right wearing sides to form an ear-hung wearing style. In particular, a first fastening element and a second fastening element of different configurations from each other may be provided at the ends of the left and right tethers; and providing third and fourth fastening elements at a distance from the first and second wearing sides to the position where the first and second straps are attached to the shell, wherein the first and second fastening elements are adapted to be fastened to each other in a head-mounted wearing manner; the third fastening element and the first fastening element, and the fourth fastening element and the second fastening element are adapted to be fastened together in an ear-hanging wearing manner, respectively.

The overall structural schematic view and wearing schematic view of the mask according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 3.

As shown in fig. 1, a mask 10 is shown. The mask 10 has a typical mask body 1 adapted to cover at least the mouth of a user. It should be noted here that the shape of the cover 1 shown in fig. 1 is merely an example, and in other embodiments, the shape and/or function of the cover 1 may be varied. For example, the mask body 1 can be provided with a breather valve; for another example, the cover 1 may be made of a material having functions of preventing haze, pollen and/or pathogen transmission, and the like.

The mask 10 has a first wearing side 2 and a second wearing side 3. The first wearing side 2 may for example be on the left side of the user, while the second wearing side 3 may be on the right side of the user, when worn on the user's mouth.

In order to cooperate with both ear-mount and head-mount wearing manners, the mask 10 may further have a first strap 11 and a second strap 12, which may be attached to the first wearing side 2 and the second wearing side 3, respectively.

In this first exemplary embodiment, the first fastening element 13 may be disposed at the end of the first strap 11, and the second fastening element 14 may be disposed at the end of the second strap 12, wherein the first fastening element 13 and the second fastening element 14 may be fastened to each other to form a head-mounted wearing style. In this example embodiment, the first fastening member 13 and the second fastening member 14 are different in structure, and they are in the form of a male buckle, in which the first fastening member 13 is one of a male buckle member and a female buckle member, and the second fastening member 14 is the other of the male buckle member and the female buckle member. By way of example only, fig. 1 shows the first fastening component 13 as a male fastening component and the second fastening component 14 as a female fastening component. However, it will be appreciated that in other modified embodiments, the first fastening element 13 may be a female fastening element, and the second fastening element 14 may be a male fastening element. In still other examples, the first fastening element 13 and the second fastening element 14 may be formed in other structures as long as they can be fastened to each other.

In addition to the first and second straps 11, 12, and the first and second fastening elements 13, 14 described above, the mask 10 may further include third and fourth fastening elements 15, 16, which are respectively provided on the first and second wearing sides of the mask body and are located at a distance from the position where the first and second straps 11, 12 are attached to the mask body 1. In the example shown in fig. 1, the third and fourth fastening elements 15 and 16 are located on the lower side of the positions where the first and second fastening bands 11 and 12 are attached, respectively, in the worn state, which may enable a head-mounted wearing style around the head or the back of the head of the user to be achieved only by fastening the first and second fastening bands 11 and 12 to each other. However, this is merely an example, and in other possible embodiments, the position of attachment of the third and fourth fastening elements 15, 16 to the cover and the position of attachment of the first and second straps 11, 12 may be interchanged, i.e. the third and fourth fastening elements 15, 16 may be located on the upper side with respect to the position of attachment of the first and second straps 11, 12 in the worn state.

The third fastening element 15 and the fourth fastening element 16 function in two ways: the first fastening element can be respectively fastened with the first fastening element 13 and the second fastening element 14 at the tail ends of the lace 11 and the second lace 12 so as to form an ear-hanging wearing mode on the left and the right of a user; and the other can be matched with a third tying belt 17 as an auxiliary tying belt to more firmly realize head-wearing.

To accomplish the above-described functions of the third fastening element 15 and the fourth fastening element 16, the third fastening element 15 is designed to be adapted to fasten with the first fastening element 13 and to fasten with the fifth fastening element 18 at one end of the third tether 17; while fourth fastening element 16 is designed to fasten with second fastening element 14 and with sixth fastening element 19 at the other end of third strap 17. In this first example embodiment, the third and sixth fastening elements 15 and 19 are shown as female fastening elements, while the fourth and fifth fastening elements 16 and 18 are shown as male fastening elements.

It will be understood, however, that the types of construction of the third fastening element 15, fourth fastening element 16, fifth fastening element 18 and sixth fastening element 19 shown in fig. 1 are merely examples. In other modified embodiments, the third and fourth fastening elements 15, 16 can adapt to variations in the types of construction of the first and second fastening elements 13, 14, while the fifth and sixth fastening elements 18, 19 can adapt to variations in the types of construction of the third and fourth fastening elements 15, 16, so long as fastening is possible between respective pairs of the first and second fastening elements 13, 14, 13, 15, 14, 16, 15, 18, 16, 19.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, in order to achieve a secure attachment of the first and second straps 11, 12 and the third and fourth fastening elements 15, 16 to the first and second wearing sides 2, 3, respectively, the edges of the shell 1 of the first and second wearing sides 2, 3 may be formed of a reinforcing material or machined to be stronger. By way of example only, the shell edge of the first wearing side 2 may be formed with a reinforcing material 4 and the shell edge of the first wearing side 3 may be formed with a reinforcing material 6. By way of example, the reinforcing material may include, but is not limited to, rubber. It will be appreciated that the edges of the cover 1 can withstand stronger pulling without damage under the addition of such reinforcing material.

How the mask according to the first exemplary embodiment is worn in the ear-hung type and the head-worn type is described below with reference to fig. 2 and 3, in which fig. 2 shows how the first and second straps 11 and 12 form an ear-hung type wearing structure on the left and right wearing sides 2 and 3, respectively; and figure 3 shows how the head-mounted wearing structure is formed.

It will be appreciated that in the wearing configuration shown in figure 2, first strap 11 and second strap 12 will hold cover 1 by being stretched over the left and right ears of the user, respectively. At this point, the first fastening element 13 at the end of the first strap 11 will be inserted and fastened together with the third fastening element 15, and the second fastening element 14 at the end of the second strap 12 will be inserted and fastened together with the fourth fastening element 16.

Whereas in the wearing configuration shown in fig. 3, first strap 11 and second strap 12 will retain mask body 1 by passing around the user's head (e.g., the crown or back of the head). At this time, the first fastening element 13 at the end of the first fastening band 11 and the second fastening element 14 at the end of the second fastening band 12 are inserted into each other.

Meanwhile, the wearing of the head-wearing type is assisted by the third strap 17 as shown in fig. 3. At this time, the fifth fastening device 18 and the sixth fastening device 19 on both ends of the third band 17 are connected to the third fastening device 15 and the fourth fastening device 16 on both left and right wearing sides of the mask 10, respectively. It should be noted here that it is optional to use the third strap 17 to assist the head-wearing, and when the third strap 17 is used to wear, the third strap 17 may be passed around the neck of the user to assist the head-wearing. Since the third strap 17 is optional, in still other embodiments, the user may select only the first strap 11 and the second strap 12, without selecting the third strap 17 to achieve headgear wear, which provides a greater degree of freedom for the user to wear.

To further facilitate wearing, in some embodiments, the lengths of first strap 11, second strap 12, and third strap 17 are adjustable. As an example, the first, second and third laces 11, 12 and 17 shown in fig. 1 to 3 are shown to have the lace adjusters 5, by which the lace adjusters 5 can conveniently adjust the length of any one of the three laces, thereby facilitating the wearing of the user.

A mask structure and a wearing manner according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to fig. 4 to 12. It will be appreciated that this second example embodiment differs from the first example embodiment only in that: the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth fastening elements are implemented differently from those of the first embodiment. To avoid repetition, only this difference between the second exemplary embodiment and the first exemplary embodiment will be described with emphasis below. It is to be understood that the description of the components or the manner of wearing in the first exemplary embodiment can be applied to the description of the second exemplary embodiment without contradicting each other.

As shown in fig. 4, unlike the first exemplary embodiment, the first fastening element 23, the second fastening element 24 are shown in the structure of a hole-shaped member and a hook-shaped member, and the third fastening element 25 and the fourth fastening element 26 are shown as through holes on both sides of the cover 1; while fifth fastening element 28 and sixth fastening element 29 are shown in the configuration of a frame-shaped member.

Specifically, in this second exemplary embodiment, the first fastening element 23 may be one of a hole-shaped member and a hook-shaped member, and the second fastening element 24 may be the other of the hole-shaped member and the hook-shaped member, both of which are adapted to hook to each other. For convenience, in fig. 4, the first fastening element 23 is shown as a hole-type member, while the second fastening element 24 is shown as a hook-type member. However, it will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first fastening element 23 may be a hook-shaped member and the second fastening element 24 may be a hole-shaped member. For a clearer understanding of the embodiment of the hole-shaped member and the hook-shaped member, fig. 5 shows the shape and structure of the hole-shaped member and the hook-shaped member, and how they are hooked together.

Regardless of whether it is a hole-type member or a hook-type member, in some embodiments, the hole-type member and the hook-type member may be longitudinal members having an aspect ratio greater than 1 (e.g., greater than 1.5), which may facilitate the insertion of the first fastening element 23 and the second fastening element 24 through the third fastening element 25 and the fourth fastening element 26, respectively, on the cage 1 as through holes. In this second embodiment, one end of the first or second fastening element 23 or 24, which is a hole-shaped or hook-shaped member, may be attached to the end of the first or second lace 11 or 12, while the other end is formed with a hole or hook.

It should be noted here that the hole-shaped member or the hook-shaped member is attached to the end of the first or second fastening band 11 or 12 in a loose manner, which allows the hole-shaped member or the hook-shaped member itself to rotate freely with respect to the end of the first or second fastening band 11 or 12, which is advantageous for the connection with the third and fourth fastening elements 25 and 26, which are through holes, as will be described later. As an example of the loose attachment, the end of the hole member or the hook member attached to the end of the first or second string 11 or 12 may be, for example, a hole, and the end of the first or second string 11 or 12 may be, for example, formed as a loop, and the hole and the loop may be coupled to each other to form the attachment. It will be appreciated that in this way, the attachment between the eyelet or hook-type member and the end of the first or second strap 11, 12 may be simplified.

It should be noted that the shape and structure of the hole-shaped member or the hook-shaped member shown in fig. 4 are only examples, and in other embodiments, the shape and structure of the hole-shaped member or the hook-shaped member are different, as long as the hole-shaped member has holes and the hook-shaped member has hooks.

Furthermore, in some variant embodiments, the element to be fastened to the hole-shaped element may not even be a hook-shaped element, but may be, for example, a snap element 24' with elastic arms. Fig. 6 shows an example of such a clasp with resilient arms. As shown in fig. 6, the latch with the elastic arm may be formed by abutting a fixed arm and an elastic arm (or two elastic arms), for example. As a further example, a clasp with resilient arms may be formed, for example, by two arms that gradually converge towards an abutment and then gradually diverge from the abutment. It will be appreciated that in this way the ends of the two arms may form an X-shaped socket adapted to receive the insertion of an external component. In this example, the annular edge of the hole in the hole-shaped part can be inserted via the X-socket and the abutment into the region defined by the spring-arm catch, thereby achieving a connection between the hole-shaped part and the spring-arm catch. The use of such a clasp with resilient arms is also advantageous in that when the hole is pulled with force, the hole can easily squeeze open the resilient arms to disengage from the clasp with resilient arms.

In this second example embodiment, the third fastening element 25 and the fourth fastening element 26 are through holes provided on both sides of the cover 1 (i.e., the first wearing side 2 and the second wearing side 3), which will be designed to allow the first fastening element 25 and the second fastening element 26 to pass therethrough.

In some embodiments, the edges of the shell 1 on the first wearing side 2 and the second wearing side 3 may be made of a reinforcing material 4, 6 (e.g. rubber), for example, and the above-mentioned through holes may be formed in the reinforcing material. In this way, the structure of the through-hole can be made more robust. In still other embodiments, the through-holes are elongated through-holes (somewhat similar to buttonholes). It will be appreciated that the elongated through-hole will facilitate the first and second fastening elements 25, 26 to be captured on the other side of the through-hole without falling out therefrom.

According to the second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the mask 1 may also have an ear-hanging type and a wearing type.

In order to more clearly understand how the ear-hanging wearing manner is achieved, fig. 7 shows an operation diagram in which the first fastening element 25 and the second fastening element 26 are passed through the third fastening element 25 and the fourth fastening element 26 as through holes; fig. 8 is a schematic view showing how the first and second fastening elements 25 and 26 snap into through-holes after being passed through the third and fourth fastening elements 25 and 26 as through-holes.

In the ear-mount wearing style, as shown in fig. 7, the entirety of the first fastening element 25 and the second fastening element 26 may be first passed through the third fastening element 25 and the fourth fastening element 26, respectively, which are through holes. For example, the entirety of the first fastening element 25 and the second fastening element 26 may be passed through the through hole from the outer side 7 of the cover 1 to the inner side 8 of the cover. However, it should be noted that this way of passing through is only an example, and in other embodiments, the above-mentioned way of passing through may be reversed, for example, the entirety of the first fastening element 25 and the second fastening element 26 may pass through the through hole from the inner side 8 of the cover 1 to the outer side 7 of the cover. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited in any way as to the manner in which the first fastening element 25 and the second fastening element 26 are passed.

Next, as shown in fig. 8, the orientation of the first and second fastening elements 25, 26 relative to the ends of the first and second straps 11, 12 can be adjusted so that the first and second fastening elements 25, 26 can be snapped onto the shell 1 around the through-hole (e.g., onto the inner side 8 in the case of an outside-in through-hole, and onto the outer side 7 in the case of an inside-out through-hole, for example).

It will be understood that in this way, the first fastening element 25 or the second fastening element 26 can be clipped onto the cover 1 without falling off, like a button.

Fig. 9 shows a schematic view of the ear-hook type worn on the head of a user.

In addition to the above-described ear-hanging wearing manner, the second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may also be worn in a head-wearing manner.

In a head-mounted wearing mode, the first fastening element 23 at the end of the first strap 11 and the second fastening element 24 at the end of the second strap 12 can be hooked to each other. Fig. 11 shows a wearing diagram of such a head mount. As shown in fig. 11, wherein both the first strap 11 and the second strap 12 may be passed around from the head (e.g., the crown or the back of the head) of the user, thereby holding the mask body 1 of the mask 10.

In addition, in the head-mount wearing mode, the third tether 17 may be used to assist in realizing the head-mount wearing mode. Fig. 12 shows a wearing diagram using the third belt 17. As shown in fig. 12, in the case of using the third lace 17, the third lace 17 may be passed around the neck of the user to assist in the head-mounted wearing.

The structure and wearing manner of the mask of the present disclosure have been described above in detail. It will be appreciated that with the mask of the present disclosure, either of the ear-mount and head-mount wearing modes may be selected, which may accommodate different wearing needs of the user, which improves the wearing experience of the user. Meanwhile, the structure of the present disclosure is simple and easy to manufacture.
