Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holding device, and more particularly to a mask ear loop holding device capable of avoiding frictional contact of mask ear loops with a user's ears.
  • a mask is a necessary means in nurses' work to shield their mouth and nose against dangerous factors and reduce the probability of infection.
  • a mask is also needed by workers in highly contaminated working environments to prevent dust, particles, etc. in the air from entering into their respiratory and digestive organs.
  • SARS Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a mask ear loop holding device that effectively eliminates discomforts from prolonged frictional contact of ear loops of the mask with the user's ears.
  • the mask ear loop holding device of the present invention includes a holding plate provided with at least one loop holder for engaging with two ear loops of a mask worn on a user's face, so as to hold the ear loops to a rear side of the user's head instead of hanging on the ears, making the mask more comfortable for wearing.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a mask ear loop holding device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the mask ear loop holding device in the first embodiment of the present mainly includes a holding plate 10 that forms a main body of the device.
  • the holding plate 10 may be, for example, a flat oblong member with an open central area, and has at least one loop holder 11A provided at a predetermined position thereon.
  • the loop holder 11A may be, for example, a flat triangular piece protruded from an outer surface of the holding plate 10.
  • Fig. 2 In a first example of using the mask ear loop holding device of the present invention with a mask 20, two ear loops 21 of the mask 20 are separately engaged with the at least one loop holder 11A on the holding plate 10.
  • a user wants to wear the mask 20 simply pulls the ear loops 21 to pass two ears and engage with or hook to the at least one loop holder 11A on the holding plate 10 of the device of the present invention, which is located at a lower rear portion of the user's head. Since the ear loops 21 are not directly hooked to the user's ears, they do not in frictional contact with the ears. Moreover, the holding plate 10 has a vertical length larger than a joint of a helix of the user's ear and the user's head to further reduce the possibility of frictional contact of the ear loops 21 with the user's ears.
  • Fig. 4 shows a mask ear loop holding device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the device includes a holding plate 10 having a loop holder 11B in the form of a flat long piece protruded from an outer surface of each longitudinal side of the holding plate 10 for an ear loop of a mask to engage therewith.
  • the mask 20 could be more conveniently connected to the mask ear loop holding device of the present invention.
  • Fig. 5 shows a mask ear loop holding device according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
  • the device includes a left holding plate 10A and a right holding plate 10B integrally connected to each other via an elastic section 12, and a plurality of loop holders 11A in the form of a flat triangular piece protruded from an outer surface of the left and right holding plates 10A, 10B.
  • the elastic section 12 provides proper sideward extension of the holding plates 10A, 10B for the mask 20 engaged therewith to have more flexibility to meet different head sizes.
  • the elastic section 212 is made of an elastic rubber material.
  • Fig. 6 shows a mask ear loop holding device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
  • the fourth embodiment is similar to the third embodiment, except that the holding plate 10A, 10B are provided with loop holders 11B in the form of a flat long piece.
  • Fig. 7 shows a mask ear loop holding device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
  • the mask ear loop holding device in the fifth embodiment includes a holding plate 10 being provided at four corners with a loop holding section 11C each to maximize a vertical distance between the two loop holding sections 11C at the same longitudinal side of the holding plate 10, so that the ear loops 21 do not frictionally contact with the user's ears at all.
  • Fig. 8 shows a second example of using the present invention with a mask 20.
  • the mask ear loop holding device is directly connected at one longitudinal side to one ear loop 21 of the mask 20 to form a part of the mask 20, and provided at the other longitudinal side with at least one loop holder 11A for engaging with the other ear loop 21 of the mask 20, so that the holding plate 10 is located at a rear portion of the user's head.
  • the device of the present invention includes a substantially flat rectangular holding plate 10 having an open central area.
  • a plurality of notches 13 are spaced along an outer periphery of the holding plate 10 for engaging with and locating the ear loops 21 of the mask 20 in place.
  • Fig. 10 shows a seventh embodiment of the present invention that is similar to the sixth embodiment, except that the notches 13 are spaced along an inner periphery of the open central area of the holding plate 10 to provide the same good effect of holding the ear loops 21 of the mask 20 in place.
  • Fig. 11 shows the use of the mask ear loop holding device of Fig. 9 in a vertical position to hold ear loops 21 of a mask 20 worn on a user's face.
  • a user may freely select the notches 13 best for comfortably holding the mask 20 on the face.
  • the notches 13 spaced on the outer periphery of the holding plate 10 serve as means for fine adjustment.
  • the ear loops 21 of the mask 20 are engaged with the notches 13 located at outermost positions on the holding plate 10 to avoid frictional contact of the ear loops 21 with the user's ears and tight binding of the whole mask 20 around the user's head.
  • notches 13 closer to inner positions of the holding plate 10 may be selected to engage with the ear loops 21.
  • the mask ear loop holding device of Fig. 9 may also be horizontally connected to the mask 20, so that the user has more choices in adjusting an tension of the ear loops 21 to make the mask 20 more comfortable for wear.
