Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hygiene mask which comprises a base body which, when worn, at least partially covers a mouth area and a nose area of a wearer of the hygiene mask.
  • Masks of this type are used to filter the breathing air expelled by the wearer of the hygienic mask and / or the air inhaled by the wearer of the hygienic mask in order to prevent harmful particles originating from the wearer from entering the environment and / or harmful particles the environment in the mouth or nose of the wearer.
  • the harmful particles can, for example, be pathogens such as bacteria, viruses or other microbial units, or also inorganic particles, for example dust particles.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating a hygiene mask of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is easy to manufacture and handle and preferably has a good filter effect.
  • Such knitted tubes can be produced quickly and easily by machine and with a mesh size that varies over a wide range. By selecting a small mesh size, a considerable filter effect can already be achieved, in particular against the passage of liquid droplets, such as those expelled by the wearer when coughing or sneezing or that hit the hygiene mask from the environment. This filter effect can be further improved by arranging a filter material in the interior of the knitted tube.
