Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a tight joint and fixation carrier for protective medium materials; in particular, it relates to a tight joint and fixation carrier for protective medium materials which comprises a carrier body designed and manufactured based on the ergonomic features of a human head and capable of tightly jointing and fixing a protective medium material onto the mouth-nose area so as to achieve the objectives of high protection safety and wearing comfort thus further satisfying other various demands.
  • this type of three-dimensional masks usually apply ear hooks to hook to the auricle or strong elastic bands to tightly attach to the rear side of the head, thus causing the mask body to be forced into the skin of the face and head.
  • this strong fixation to the ears or the rear side of the head may easily cause pain of discomfort on the face, ear, and head in case of wearing for a long time.
  • this type of three-dimensional masks are usually of fixed sizes and produced in large quantities, but because everyone's head and face shapes are different, especially the difference in terms of bone characteristics between different human races may become even greater, when the size of the mask cannot correspond correctly to the user's head and face characteristics, the mask will be strongly squeezed and embedded into the skin, thus leading to obvious discomfort and pain, and then causing skin damage.
  • users who must be protected for a longer duration of time e.g., first-line medical care workers
  • such issues may bring significant discomfort and inconvenience in practice.
  • US 695,403 discloses an improved face protector or mask, comprising a body of flexible material having a central opening and above the same a nose-strap provided with a flexible piece of metal, which is adapted to conform closely to the nose of the wearer and retain in use the shape thus imparted to it, and the reticulated concavo-convex pieces of wire-netting covering the said opening, and sponge filling held therein.
  • US 4,671,271 discloses a protective facial mask covering the oral and nasal cavities. It slips over the user's head and comprises a single generally cylindrical, generally tubular, piece of an expandable impervious material open at each end. Two diametrically opposed ear slots and an opening below and extending between the ear slots hold the mask in place and provide for better conformity to the user's head. A filtered breathing cannula on the interior of the mask allows air to enter the nasal cavity only.
  • the present invention discloses a tight joint and fixation carrier for protective medium materials which can be applied for fixedly positioning and tightly jointing a protective medium material in correspondence with the mouth-nose area of a human body, comprising: a carrier body, made of a flexible material and corresponding to the mouth and nose areas thereby surrounding to form a connection with the protective medium material and including a front frame body which has a front frame opening, wherein the upper edge of the front frame body is attached to the bridge of a nose, the wings of the nose and a cheekbone, while the lower edge of the front frame body is wrapped around the front part of the mandible, and the two sides of the front frame body extend from the cheekbone and the mandible towards the ear to form a lateral frame body having a lateral frame opening and an ear frame body having an ear frame opening, and then further extend from the ear frame opening towards a rear-neck part to form a rear-neck fixation component.
  • the present invention can apply a 3-dimensional information extraction device to reconstruct the characteristics of the head and face of the human body and prepare the carrier body through a production equipment such that the carrier body conforms to the characteristics of the head and face in order to correctly enable tight joint and fixation onto the head and face.
  • the ear frame opening is provided for allowing the ear to pass through in position so that the ear frame body is attached to the periphery of the ear.
  • the carrier body is configured with a positioning groove at the ear frame body so as to allow the wire of an ear-worn device to be fixedly placed inside the positioning groove thereby enhancing the wearing stability of the ear-worn device.
  • the rear-neck fixation component on the two sides of the carrier body can be wrapped around to the rear side of the neck and connected for fixed attachment to the neck by means of hook-and-loop fasteners, buttons, magnets, glue, latches or elastic band structures, etc.
  • the protective medium material is made of a light-transmitting material or a non-light-transmitting material.
  • an abutting push component extends from the front frame body of the carrier body facing the mouth-nose area, and a clipping layer is formed between the abutting push component and the inner side of the front frame body for placing the protective medium material in position, and the tip part of the abutting push component stretches through the front frame opening of the front frame body thus further pushing the protective medium material towards outside by means of the tip part of the abutting push component so as to keep away from the mouth-nose area.
  • the present invention further comprises a medium material adapter which includes an inner fixation part and an outer fixation part, in which the inner fixation part can stretch through the front frame opening in order to be combined with the inner side of the front frame body, while the outer fixation part can be combined with a 3-dimensional protective medium material.
  • a medium material adapter which includes an inner fixation part and an outer fixation part, in which the inner fixation part can stretch through the front frame opening in order to be combined with the inner side of the front frame body, while the outer fixation part can be combined with a 3-dimensional protective medium material.
  • the carrier body is made of thermoplastic elastomer, thermosetting polymer, polyethylene, thermoplastic, thermoplastic polyester elastomer, polylactic acid, polypropylene, polyurethane, synthetic fiber, gel, silicone, rubber, resin or other suitable materials having flexible characteristics.
  • the front frame body and the lateral frame body of the carrier body are installed with a thickness reinforcement layer for enhancing the tight joint feature at the positions attaching to the bridge of the nose, the wings of the nose, the cheekbones and the mandible.
  • the tight joint and fixation carrier for protective medium materials comprises a carrier body 1 which corresponds the mouth-nose area of the human body of a user thus surrounding to form a front frame body 11 contacting the protective medium material 2, wherein the front frame body 11 includes a front frame opening 111 and the protective medium material 22 is combined to the inside or outside of the front frame body 11 by means of bonding, inlaid, latching or wrapping and can cover the front frame opening 111.
  • the upper edge of the front frame body 11 is attached to the bridge and the wing parts of the nose, while the lower edge thereof is wrapped at the front portion of the mandible; in addition, the lateral frame bodies 12 on the two sides of the front frame body 11 further respectively extend towards the ears on the two lateral sides along the cheekbone and the two sides of the mandible to form a lateral frame body 12 having a lateral frame opening 121 and an ear frame body 13 having an ear frame opening 131, wherein each ear frame opening 131 is set up correspondingly to the ear thereby allowing the ear to pass through the opening for appropriate placement so as to make the ear frame body 13 attach around the periphery of the ear.
  • the ear frame opening 131 further extends towards the rear side of the neck to form a rear-neck fixation component 14 and, after having fixedly connecting such two surrounding rear-neck fixation components 14 around the neck, it is possible to let the user stably wear the carrier body 1.
  • the present invention previously applied a 3-dimensional extraction device to re-build the profile characteristics of a user's head and face, and further operated a manufacture equipment to prepare and produce the carrier body 1 completely matching the extracted profile characteristics of the user's head and face, so, when the user correctly wears the carrier body 1 made by means of the aforementioned processes, the carrier body 1 can be tightly and correctly attached to the bridge and the wings of the nose, cheekbones and cover the mandible, so as to achieve the best tight joint, close fixation as well as the comfortable and cozy experiences for the user's face and head contour. Also, when applied in conjunction with various functional protective medium materials or existing masks, this can greatly increase the overall protective safety and wearing comfort.
  • the carrier body according to the present invention may be made of thermoplastic elastomer, thermosetting polymer, polyethylene, thermoplastic, thermoplastic polyester elastomer, polylactic acid, polypropylene, polyurethane, synthetic fiber, gel, silicone, rubber, resin or any other suitable materials having flexible characteristics, and such materials can be easily cleaned and reused.
