The present invention relates to a face mask for filtering air according to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

Mouthguard masks (also called mouth guards, mouth and nose protectors or mouth and nose covers) are now sufficiently well known from the prior art and are primarily used to prevent contagious diseases caused by viruses or other pathogens.

Mouth protection masks are made from a flat, flexible and/or elastic mask body (usually made of fabric such as cotton) that is suitable for covering the mouth and/or nose of a mask wearer. One or more holding elements on the face mask can usually be arranged on the back of the head or on the ears of the mask body and are designed to pull the mask body against its face.

A disadvantage of the known face masks is that they often do not fit properly on the wearer's face and are only used for one purpose and after use are usually only folded up / crumpled up, for example stowed in handbags or the like.

Presentation of the invention

The object of the present invention is to create a face mask that eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and that ensures an optimal and secure hold on the face of the mask wearer.

According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous refinements and developments of the face mask according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

The mouth protection mask according to the invention consists of a flat, flexible and/or elastic mask body which is suitable for covering the mouth and/or the nose of a mask wearer, with at least one holding element (one or more straps, cords, ropes or similar flexible and/or or elastic holding means) is arranged or can be arranged on the mask body, which is designed to pull the mask body against the face of the mask wearer by being arranged on the head and/or on the ears.

According to the invention, a face mask of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the mask body comprises at least two connecting means on both sides of its lower half, wherein the at least two connecting means are each designed to correspond to form a reversible connection of one or more sections of the mask body. The connecting means can be, for example, buttons, Velcro fasteners, clamping means or other connecting parts that are suitable for entering into a reversible connection through positive and/or non-positive locking.

character list

Further goals, features, advantages and possible uses of the face mask according to the invention result from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings. All of the features described and/or illustrated form the subject matter of the invention, either alone or in any combination, regardless of the summary in individual claims or their back-reference.

• 1 die Mundschutzmaske in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform in einer schematischen Front- und Rückansicht mit jeweils mehreren Verbindungsmitteln an den Seiten der unteren Hälfte des Maskenkörpers;
• 2 eine zu einer quadratischen Form faltbare Mundschutzmaske mit Ausführungsbeispielen, in denen unterschiedliche Faltmöglichkeiten des Maskenkörpers dargestellt sind.

Show in the drawings

• 1 the mouthguard mask in an advantageous embodiment in a schematic front and rear view, each with a plurality of connecting means on the sides of the lower half of the mask body;
• 2 a mouthguard mask that can be folded into a square shape with exemplary embodiments in which different folding options for the mask body are shown.

implementation of the invention

How out 1 As can be seen, the mask body 10 comprises on each side 100', 100" a plurality of connecting means 12', 12" which are offset in relation to their respective distance from the side edges 102', 102" of the mask body 10".
