Cover for facial surgical masks with lateral fastening tapes.

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a cover for facial surgical masks with lateral fastening tapes, intended to constitute an additional complement to the mask itself, in order to increase its durability, as it constitutes an additional barrier against external inclemencies, such as dust, dirt, blood, bacteria, splashes, etc., which can be washed and reused as many times as deemed convenient, in addition to allowing the aesthetic appearance of the mask to be personalized, giving a more cheerful and informal character that can positively affect it from the point of view psychological, in times of health crisis.

However, the cover can be used exclusively as a protective element and container of the mask itself, and can be easily detached from it at the time of use if deemed appropriate.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of surgical-type masks by the population to protect themselves against possible infections has been appreciably increased in recent times, to the point of reaching shortage levels.

As is known, these types of masks are not reusable indefinitely, so they must be removed and replaced periodically, which negatively affects said supply problem, in addition to the associated costs that they carry.

On the other hand, these types of masks give their users an unfriendly appearance, which can affect the population very negatively from a psychological point of view in times of health crisis.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The recommended surgical mask cover solves the aforementioned problems in a fully satisfactory way, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, and more specifically, the device of the invention is materialized in a laminar body of textile material, such as cotton, synthetic fibers, silk, etc., formally and dimensionally suitable to cover at least the external face of a surgical mask. , counting for it with practicable fixing means for said mask.

In this way, the device defines an additional protective layer for the user, which will be the one that comes into contact with the outside, protecting the mask itself from splashes, dirt, etc., so that due to its own textile nature the cover can be washed as many times as deemed convenient to be reused, significantly increasing the life of the surgical mask.

At the same time, the textile nature of the cover allows it to include all kinds of ornamental designs, in order that people who use the mask with the cover adapted on it present a much less intimidating appearance, which will result in a positive way from one point from a psychological point of view, reducing possible tensions caused by stress.

As for the means of fixing the cover to the mask itself, two possible embodiments have been provided.

In a first variant embodiment, it has been provided that the sheet body that covers the external surface of the mask extends both upper and lower, joining at said ends in order to form a tubular body through which the body can be inserted laterally. of the mask, as well as the corresponding elastic straps, being protected both by its external face and its internal face, so that the only thing left exposed are the elastic fixing straps.

In a second variant of embodiment, the cover will present a rectangular configuration, of dimensions commensurate with the external surface of the mask to be covered, so that, on its rear face, they will be arranged in correspondence with its lateral ends or in proximity to the same paths. vertical strips, either made of elastic material or simply textile, that define a kind of ring through which to pass the body of the mask, hugging it and therefore stabilizing the set.

An intermediate solution between the two solutions described above is that starting from a tubular body such as the one described in the first variant of embodiment, a wide rectangular window is practiced on the rear face thereof, determining two extreme vertical strips on the rear face of said body, analogously to the second variant embodiment.

In any of the versions described, the sheath will be able to incorporate a thin plastic sheet on its upper and inner edge, in which a deformable wire will be embedded, which allows the sheath to adapt the sheath more precisely, in order so that it is perfectly immobilized and adapted to its user.

It only remains to point out lastly that the cover, in its version whose laminar body covers only the external face of the mask, could be oversized, both upper and lower, with folding / unfolding sectors that increase if necessary the protection zone beyond of the mask protection area, these sectors can extend to the neck area and close to the eyes, and they can also be assisted by horizontal plastic strips with deformable wires in their bosom, to adapt to the appearance of the user.

In this way, a light, soft, flexible cover is obtained, easy to put on and take off, washable and capable of being decorated with many different designs.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help to a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, in accordance with a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, an set of drawings is accompanied as an integral part of said description, where the following has been represented by way of illustration and not limitation:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the outlined figures, it can be seen how the cover of the invention is constituted from a laminar body (1) of textile material, such as cotton, synthetic fibers, silk, etc., formal and dimensionally suitable to cover at least the external face of a surgical mask (2), and which has practicable fixing means for said mask, laminar body (1) capable of incorporating all kinds of ornamental designs (3-3 ') on its surface.

According to the variant embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, the fixing means can be embodied in both upper and lower extensions of the laminar body (1), which are fixed by their ends so that they define a tubular body with a lateral hole (4) for passage of the main body of the mask (2), as well as previously the corresponding elastic strips (5) of one of said ends of the mask, this being protected as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

The edges or mouths of said tubular body can present inward folds by way of reinforcements and retention elements of the complementary edge of the mask, folds that may be sewn, glued or fixed by any conventional means.

According to the variant embodiment of Figures 4 to 6, the cover will have a rectangular configuration, with dimensions according to the external surface of the mask to be covered, slightly larger, so that, on its rear face, they will be arranged in correspondence with its lateral ends or in proximity to the same vertical strips (8), determining clamps for passage through the main body of the mask (2), as well as previously the corresponding elastic strips (5) of one of said ends, strips that may be of a textile nature, independent or belonging to the fabric of the main sheet, as well as materializing in elastic strips.

As previously mentioned, both solutions are capable of incorporating a thin plastic sheet (6) on their upper and inner edge, in which a deformable wire (7) is embedded, which allows the plastic deformation of the wire to adapt the sheath more precisely.

According to a variant embodiment not shown in the figures, it has been provided that the sheet body that covers the external face of the mask may be oversized both upper and lower, the lower sector being larger than the upper sector, sectors that initially they will come folded, the lower one as an accordion, to be able to extend if necessary, and can even be stabilized through a velcro strip, clasp or similar, so that the cover can be extended to cover the user's neck area, protecting This area that was left unprotected by the mask, could also be assisted by horizontal plastic strips with Ċ

deformable wires in its bosom, to adapt to the user's physiognomy.
