Abstract

Facial mask in the form of a tube for covering the mouth and nose area of a user, characterized in that it has ergonomically perfect ear cutouts (1) in the area of the ears, that is to say on both sides of the tube cloth, which can be sewn or not sewn.

Description

Tubular wipes are usually manufactured as seamlessly manufactured tubular wipes without ear clearance. They are mainly used for leisure activities as protection against the weather. These wipes are currently on the market in a length of approx. 46.5-52 cm and a width of 24.5 cm.

Due to their size and shape, the tube cloths can be used as a scarf, headband, hat, ballaclava, bonnet, pirate, hair band, hair tie or mask.

Despite the flexible use of the previous tube cloths, these are only of limited suitability for protection against external influences, in particular against pathogens, when the wearer needs his full hearing. When wearing the previous tube cloths as a mask, the ears are covered by layers of fabric and the tube slips again and again from the mouth and nose during movements and therefore do not have a stable fit. The wearer has to manually correct the fit of this "mask" again and again .

Due to the length of the wipes available on the market to enable multifunctional use, when using the wipe as a face mask, either a lot of fabric has to be distributed in the face area over the nose and mouth or a lot of fabric remains in the neck area of the wearer. If there is a lot of fabric in the neck area, this restricts the freedom of movement of the neck / head on the one hand, and on the other hand this favors the mask from the mouth and nose from slipping. If too much material remains above the nose / mouth area, this impedes air permeability and thus the supply and removal of oxygen or carbon dioxide.

The present invention is based on the object of enabling a better fit and better hearing performance of seamlessly manufactured tube cloths for use as a face mask.

This object is achieved in that a seamlessly manufactured tubular cloth has a height of 10 to 26.5 cm, in particular 16.5 cm and a width of 19 to 29.5 cm, in particular 24.5 cm, which is produced have lateral ear cutouts in the height of 2 to 10 cm, in particular 5 cm, and a depth of 0.5 to 5 cm, in particular 1.5 cm. These ear cutouts are each placed in a position from 0.5 to 3 cm from the upper edge, in particular from 3 cm and 4.5 to 14.5 cm, in particular 8.5 cm from the lower edge.

These ear cutouts can be sewn or unstitched.

These ear cutouts are ergonomically perfectly shaped so that the ears fit exactly into the cutouts.

The face mask gets a good hold by plugging in the ears and can no longer slip from the mouth and nose. The chosen distance of the ear cut-outs from the upper edge ensures that exactly the right amount of material remains to cover the nose. Due to the width of the stretchable cloth chosen, it adapts to the face shape of the wearer without slipping, but also without constricting the nose and mouth and making breathing difficult.

This ear-free face mask adapts perfectly to the shape of the face to cover the mouth and nose area of a user and is therefore suitable for different activities and weather conditions to protect against external influences.

The ear-free face mask can also be provided with antimicrobial protection before coloring, so that protection against pathogens can be increased even further.

The material of the face mask is ideally printed individually using a dye-through process using sublimation printing. Alternatively, a dye bath or foulard or by transfer screen printing can also be used.
