Description

Mask fixation

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a mask fixation that allows to hold them in their position of use in a comfortable way and with the precise fit. This fixation allows to wear the masks continuously for long periods of time.

STATE OF THE ART

Surgeons or other medical personnel, or anyone in a pandemic situation, must wear a mask that protects the respiratory tract or that prevents any aerosol from escaping from them to infect a third party.

A large number of models are known, but most of them are hooked on the ears, which is uncomfortable. In addition, masks are sold in a number of standard dimensions, which may not be suitable for every person. Thus, the user chooses between wearing a mask that is too small, very uncomfortable, or one that is too large that does not protect properly.

The applicant does not know of any device that can solve these problems.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a mask fixation according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

It is a bra or fixation, made of silicone or similar, that has several housings or cuts in which the rubber bands or rubber bands of the masks are placed. The fixation is placed on the nape of the neck, which allows to fix the masks without using so pray so. eg na rea zac n partcuar, it is very soft and hypoallergenic, easy to clean, that can be used in sanitary environments.

It is possible to sell it in several sizes, but the possibility of regulation allows that only two sizes are sufficient: adult and child. For example, the adult size can measure 30 x 200 x 2 mm.

Fixation is very simple to place, and can be done with a single hand, without external help.

When made with the most preferred material, it withstands high temperatures, is easy to store (it can be folded or rolled) and has a low manufacturing cost.

The mask fixation is made of a flat, soft and flexible strip, for example made of platinum FDA silicone of 60 shore hardness. The strip therefore has two larger faces in which at least two cuts or curved through dies are made, one at each end of the strip. The concave parts of each cut are oriented towards the respective end.

Preferably, at least one cut is repeated. For example, five cuts can be arranged in each orientation.

The most preferred embodiment has curved through holes at the ends of the cut. The holes can be circular, oval ... but preferably without edges.

In a second embodiment, compatible with the previous one, the part closest to the end of each cut is narrower than the widest area of the cut.

To increase tensile strength and improve touch and sweat absorption, at least one larger face may have a layer of textile material.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows a first embodiment, formed by a strip (1) of soft and flexible material, such as 60 shore silicone. The strip (1) is elongated and flat, so it has two major faces (2). On the larger faces (2) there are at least two through cuts (3,4), approximately symmetrical, one at each end. At least one of the cuts (3,4) can be repeated to allow the size of the mask to be adjusted. The distance between the cuts (3,4) at each end can be the same or different.

As can be seen in the figure, the cuts (3,4) are curved and the concave part is oriented towards the closest end of the strip (1). In this way, it is possible to hook the rubber (5) of a mask in each cut (3,4) and thus keep it in position.

Figures 2A-2C show various ways of attaching. For example, in figure 2A a preferred shape of the cuts (3,4) is shown where the curve covers more than 180 °, so that the part closest to the end is narrower than the widest area of the cut (3 ,4).

As can be seen in some of the variants, it is very positive to finish the cuts (3,4) in a circular hole (6) that allows to hook the rubber (5) and A em s increases to resstenca ea tra that you no longer have an arsta is where to tear (Figures 2B and 2C).

It is also very favorable to make notches (7) for the introduction of the nail into the cut (3,4), normally in its central part. These notches (7) help to position the rubber (5), mainly behind the back, when locating the cuts (3,4). In addition, they allow the user to lift the tab formed by the cut (3,4) to place the rubber (5) underneath. This notch (7) has been represented in Figures 1 and 2A, and is compatible with the holes (6).
