Definitions
- the invention relates to a mask for at least partially covering the nose and cheeks of a wearer.
- balaclavas In order to cover and warm this area, particularly the nose and cheeks, balaclavas, for example, are known. They are usually made of a relatively thin material and cover the entire head and neck, usually with a recess for the eyes.
- a mask for at least partially covering the nose and cheeks of a wearer, comprising a strip-shaped base body and fastening elements arranged at opposite ends of the strip-shaped base body for fastening to one ear of the wearer.
- the mask provided according to the invention allows only the cheeks and the nose, especially the bridge of the nose, to be covered.
- the nostrils remain uncovered so that the wearer of the mask can breathe freely.
- Other head coverings such as a hood or a (pulled up) scarf, can easily be combined with the mask to protect other areas of the head or face.
- the strip-shaped base body preferably has several regions, in particular a nose region, cheek regions arranged on both sides of the nose region and end regions adjoining the cheek regions. These regions are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the base body, i.e. in the direction of the longer extension.
- the nose region is arranged essentially in the middle of the strip-shaped base body and serves to protect the nose, in particular the bridge of the nose of the wearer, during use.
- the strip-shaped base body is preferably not exactly rectangular, but curved, to allow a good fit to the shape of the wearer's face.
- the longitudinal extension or longitudinal direction is curved accordingly.
- the cheek areas which are arranged lengthwise on both sides of the nose area, are each designed to (partially) cover one cheek. When in use, the cheek areas preferably lie on the wearer's cheeks and touch them.
- the end regions are each arranged on the side of the cheek regions facing away from the nose region and form the two ends in the longitudinal direction of the base body.
- the end regions have the fastening elements for fastening to one ear of the wearer or the end regions are connected to the fastening elements.
- the base body preferably has at least one, preferably two openings in the end regions in which a fastening element can be arranged.
- a first opening and a second opening are particularly preferably arranged in the respective edge region close to a corner of the base body. This allows the mask to fit well on the wearer's face.
- three openings are preferably provided, with two of the three openings particularly preferably being arranged close to one another.
- the distance between a first opening and a second opening is therefore smaller than the distance between the first opening and the third opening and smaller than the distance between the second opening and the third opening.
- Two openings are preferably provided in the upper third or in the lower third (in the width direction) and an opening in the lower third or in the upper third (in the width direction).
- the three openings are preferably arranged essentially along an imaginary line, which preferably runs essentially in the width direction.
- a fastening element can optionally be arranged in one of the openings arranged close to one another, depending on the size of the wearer's ear.
- the fastening elements are designed, for example, as bands, each of which is connected to an end region in such a way that the bands form a loop that can be attached to the wearer's ear by hooking it in.
- the bands are preferably designed to be flexible, e.g. as a rubber band.
- the bands are designed, for example, as one piece with the base body, so that no connection between the base body and the fastening elements is required.
- the bands are designed to be arranged in openings in the base body. The fastening in the openings can be done, for example, using a knot in the bands.
- the length of the base body is preferably approximately 20 to 30 cm and, when worn, extends essentially from one ear of the wearer to the other ear.
- the width of the base body is preferably approximately 3 to 6 cm, with the width particularly preferably varying in the longitudinal direction.
- the strip-shaped base body consists essentially of two symmetrical sections.
- the two sections each comprise, for example, an end region, a cheek region and a part (essentially half) of the nose region and are symmetrical with respect to an axis running essentially parallel to the width direction.
- the stabilizing element can be designed, for example, in the form of a nose clip.
- the stabilizing element is preferably detachably connected to the mask, in particular to the base body of the mask. This allows the stabilizing element to be easily replaced, for example if it no longer works or a different size is required.
- Two or more stabilizing elements can also be provided, which are arranged either close together or at a distance from each other.
- two or more stabilizing elements can be sewn into a common pocket of the base body. If at least two stabilizing elements are provided, at least one stabilizing element can be arranged in the lower third of the strip-shaped base body in the width direction and at least one stabilizing element in the upper third of the strip-shaped base body (in each case in the width direction). This further improves the stability of the mask when worn.
- the stabilizing element is arranged in the region of the middle of the base body in the width direction.
- the stabilizing element is thus essentially in the middle between an upper edge of the strip-shaped base body and a lower edge of the strip-shaped base body.
- the stabilizing element runs essentially parallel to the upper edge or the lower edge of the strip-shaped base body. This enables particularly good stabilization of the mask in the area of the wearer's nose.
- the fastening elements is adjustable. This design allows the position of the mask on the wearer's face to be changed or adjusted so that the mask has a good and stable fit on the face that is comfortable for the wearer.
- the fastening elements can, for example, comprise a Velcro fastener, a hook-and-eye fastener or a band that is detachably connected to the base body in order to allow adjustability.
- the base body has at least two layers.
- the layers preferably extend essentially over the entire longitudinal extension as well as the entire width extension of the base body.
- an outer layer can be designed to be water and air repellent, while an inner layer is designed to be heat insulating.
- the inner The inner layer is formed on the side of the base body that faces the wearer's skin during use.
- the outer layer is arranged on the side of the base body that faces away from the wearer's skin during use.
- the at least two layers can, for example, be sewn, glued or otherwise connected to one another.
- the base body has at least three or more layers. At least one further intermediate layer is arranged between the inner layer and the outer layer.
- the at least one intermediate layer can be, for example, an additional air-repellent or warming layer.
- At least one nose layer is arranged only in the nose area.
- the nose layer can, for example, comprise a flexible material in order to be able to be bent in the nose area into the desired shape adapted to the respective nose.
- the nose layer is not formed in the cheek areas and the end areas.
- At least one cheek layer is arranged only in the cheek areas.
- the cheek layer can, for example, comprise a relatively rigid material in order to achieve better stability of the mask in the area of the cheeks, where relatively little deformation is necessary to adapt to the shape of the face.
- At least one end layer for example the inner layer or the outer layer, only is arranged in the end regions.
- the end layer can, for example, comprise a rigid material and/or be reinforced, for example, using particularly rigid reinforcing elements in order to enable a relatively rigid structure in the end regions. This is advantageous, for example, when the fastening elements are designed as bands.
- a section layer can be formed which has a first material as the nose layer in the nose area, a second material as the cheek layer in the cheek areas and/or a third material as the end layer in the end areas.
- the individual areas of the layer can, for example, be sewn or glued to one another and to the other layers.
- the section layer can be the only layer of the base body.
- the first material and the second material or the second material and the third material or the first material and the third material can be the same material or comprise the same material.
- a nose region arranged in the longitudinal direction essentially in the middle of the base body has a greater width than adjacent cheek regions.
- the nose region has a greater width than the cheek regions at least in sections, so that the nose, in particular the Bridge of the nose, which is better covered by the mask.
- the greatest width of the nose area is therefore larger than at least one width of the cheek areas.
- a bracket is preferably provided which connects two areas of the base body to one another.
- a first area and a second area of the base body each have a connection point at which the bracket is connected to the base body.
- the first connection point and the second connection point are preferably arranged symmetrically relative to an axis.
- the bracket runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction.
- the bracket is preferably connected to the base body in such a way that the base body has a fold between the connection points.
- the base body is therefore not flat between the connection points, but has a raised area.
- This fold or raised area forms a limited pocket and serves in particular to accommodate the wearer's nose.
- the bracket can limit the size of the raised area and thus improve the fit on the wearer's nose.
- the temple and a nose area of the base body delimit a temple opening.
- the temple opening is arranged in the area of the nostrils of the wearer and allows the wearer to breathe through the temple opening.
- the temple is arranged on the side of the nostrils facing away from the tip of the nose in order to enable comfortable wearing.
- the bracket opening is preferably located in a plane that is essentially perpendicular to the base body.
- the bracket is made of a textile material.
- the bracket is preferably made of the same material as the base of the mask. Due to its flexibility, the bracket can be easily adjusted to the shape of the wearer's face, in particular the shape of the nose.
- the bracket is designed in such a way that the distance between the two areas of the base body can be changed.
- the length of the bracket can be optionally changed. Adjusting the distance between the two areas of the base body, in particular the distance between the connection points, enables the mask to be easily adapted to the shape of the wearer's face. This ensures that the bracket can be adjusted so that the mask sits well and comfortably on the nose.
- the bracket can, for example, be detachably connected to the base body, e.g. using a Velcro fastener, so that the distance between the two areas of the base body can be changed by adjusting the connection point(s).
- the length of the bracket itself can be varied, e.g.

- Fig. 1 shows a mask 1 according to the invention, which is arranged schematically on the face of a wearer.
- the mask 1 comprises a strip-shaped base body 2 and fastening elements 3.
- the base body 2 has a nose region 4, two cheek regions 5 adjoining the nose region 4 and two end regions 6 each adjoining a cheek region 5.
- the nose region 4, the cheek regions 5 and the end regions 6 are arranged along a longitudinal direction 7 of the base body 2.
- a width direction 8 runs essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 7.
- a stabilizing element 9 is arranged which runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction 7 and essentially perpendicular to the width direction 8.
- the stabilizing element 9 is also located, in the width direction 8, essentially in the middle of the base body 2, so that a particularly good stabilization of the base body 2 is achieved.
- two openings 10 are arranged in each case, in which the fastening elements 3 designed as bands are fixed.
- the fastening elements 3 are fastened to the ears 11 of the wearer in the used state shown.
- the nose 12 and the cheeks 13 are at least partially covered by the mask 1, leaving the nostrils and the eyes 14 free.
- the base body 2 has two symmetrical halves which are connected to one another or formed in one piece, the axis of symmetry running essentially parallel to the width direction 8 and through the nose area 4.
- Fig. 2 shows a side view of the mask 1 according to Fig. 1. It is clear that the width of the base body 2 is greater in the end region 6 than in the cheek regions 5. It can also be seen that the width in the nose region 4 is greater than in the cheek regions 5. This enables the mask 1 to fit comfortably and cover the wearer's face well.
- Fig. 3 shows a front view of the mask 1 according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The course of the base body 2 on the face can be clearly seen. The fastening elements 3 together with the openings 10 are not shown.
