Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sports-use protective mask.
  • this invention relates to a mask for protecting the respiratory track that is particularly well suited to being worn when practicing sports.
  • a mask for protecting the respiratory track that is particularly well suited to being worn when practicing sports.
  • protective masks are personal protection devices that are worn to protect the user's respiratory track and to limit the spread of pathogenic and/or viral agents between people.
  • the protective masks currently most popular on the market are single-use and are made up of a substantially rectangular-shaped, filtering sheet with a multi-layered structure, and of a pair of elastic earloops that are fixed to the filtering sheet on opposite sides thereof, and are adapted to be fitted around the ears or head of the user, so as to keep the filtering sheet adhering to the face of the user, covering the mouth and nose.
  • the filtering sheet of the protective masks mentioned above is usually composed of three, overlapping layers made of non-woven polypropylene fabric.
  • the protective masks described above are not suitable for being worn when practicing sports.
  • Single-use protective masks in fact, hinder the more intense and frequent respiration of the user during exertion.
  • the protective masks described above do not enable a quick and easy evacuation of air just breathed out, with the resulting stagnation of air with a high carbon dioxide content underneath the filtering sheet. This stagnation forces the user to continuously breathe in air with a high carbon dioxide content, with all the problems that this entails when practicing sports.
  • the single-use protective masks do not allow suitable transpiration of heat and water vapour produced during sports.
  • humidity accumulates beneath the filtering sheet, in direct contact with the face of the user, making the protective mask uncomfortable to wear in the long run.
  • protective masks made up of: a filtering cup-shaped body with a soft and flexible structure, which is realized in a three-dimensional mesh fabric with a suitable thickness and having a high air permeability, and which is adapted to be placed on the user's face so as to cover and protect the user's mouth and nose; and a pair of straps that are firmly fixed to the filtering cup-shaped body, on opposite sides thereof, and are adapted to be fitted around the ears so as to keep the cup-shaped body adhering to the user's face.
  • cup-shaped body made of three-dimensional mesh fabric is unable to effectively hinder the passage of microdroplets suspended in the air that the user breathes out, with all the problems that this entails.
  • Aim of the present invention is to produce a protective mask for sports use which is able to avoid the drawbacks described above, while limiting, at the same time, the spread of pathogenic and/or viral agents between people.
  • protective mask for sports-use as defined in claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, in any of the claims thereby dependent.
  • a sports-use protective mask comprising: a filtering cup-shaped body with a soft and flexible structure, which has at least one air-permeable portion and is adapted to be placed on the user's face, so as to cover and protect the user's mouth and nose; and a pair of straps that are fixed to the filtering cup-shaped body, on opposite sides thereof, and are adapted to be fitted around the user's ears or head so as to stably keep the filtering cup-shaped body adhering to the user's face;
  • the protective mask being characterised by also comprising a pair of nosepieces that are located inside the filtering cup-shaped body, on opposite sides of the midplane of the mask, so as to rest on the user's face, on opposite sides of the user's nose; and in that each nosepiece comprises an oblong flap with a soft and flexible structure, which is U-bent and has the two ends firmly fixed to the filtering cup-shaped body, so as to form a substantially lobe
  • a sports-use protective mask comprising: a filtering cup-shaped body with a soft and flexible structure, which has at least one air-permeable portion and is adapted to be placed on the user's face, so as to cover and protect the user's mouth and nose; and a pair of straps that are fixed to the filtering cup-shaped body, on opposite sides thereof, and are adapted to be fitted around the user's ears or head so as to keep the filtering cup-shaped body adhering to the user's face; the protective mask being characterised by additionally comprising a winglet/tab or other seizable projecting appendage, which is placed roughly in the centre of the filtering cup-shaped body and extends cantilevered from the same filtering cup-shaped body, so as to be easily grasped by the user.
