Abstract

Double function anti-fog mask characterized by incorporating inside a separating element (1) that gives rise to two differentiated parts (2, 3), a part between the lower area of the nose and the upper part of the upper lip from the mouth to the upper part of the nasal septum (2), and the lower area that ranges from the part between the lower part of the nose and the upper part of the upper lip of the mouth to the lower part of the chin or chin (3).

Description

DESCRIPTION

Dual function anti-fog mask

Technical sector

Sanitary textile.

The present invention consists of incorporating inside the mask, and forming part of it, a separating element that gives rise to two differentiated parts, an upper part between the lower area of the nose and the upper part of the upper lip of the the mouth to the upper part of the nasal septum, and the lower area that ranges from the part between the lower part of the nose and the upper part of the upper lip of the mouth to the lower part of the chin or chin. Said separating element consists of an elastic or rubber that attached horizontally to the mask, from end to end, and with a width ranging between 1 and 8 mm, adjusts to the user's face, preventing the air exhaled through the mouth from rising and mist the glasses and mix with the one inhaled through the nose. The separating element is characterized by adding a separating element that consists of an additional piece of non-breathable fabric to guarantee a better separation of both parts and to give greater clearance of the mask with the user's face. Said additional piece is arranged in such a way that the part closest to the mask is attached to it by means of sewing, heat welding, ultrasound welding, etc., and the part of the mask that is in contact with the user's face consists of elastic or rubber for a better fit. Said elastic or rubber can be further extended at its two ends, and joined between both ends, passing through the back of the head, with elastic or rubber material and with a width of between 1 and 8 mm.

With this system, air can be inhaled through the nose and / or through the mouth, but it must be exhaled through the mouth.

Background of the invention

The masks that currently exist allow the fogging of the glasses, having to use different products that are applied to the lenses to prevent them from fogging: gels, sprays, wipes, etc. There are also elements that are placed on the bridge of the nose, between it and the mask, to prevent the mist from rising to the crystals.

The two previous solutions are applications that are not part of the mask or provide the separation of the air that is inhaled through the nose and the one that we exhale through the mouth. Said solutions make it mandatory to carry anti-fog products among the appliances to apply to the crystals or the application between the bridge of the nose and the mask; In addition, they do not prevent us from breathing oxygen-poor air after long hours with the mask on. If this last problem is worrisome and serious in normal daily activity, it increases much more when we do any sports activity with a mask.

Explanation of the invention

The system of the present application comes to solve the above problems. The double function anti-fog mask consists of a system applicable to any type or model of mask, whether hygienic, surgical, FFP1 and FFP2 (the latter two without a valve), fabric, reusable or not, etc., which prevents the glasses are fogged and the air that we inhale through the nose and the one that we exhale through the mouth mix, consisting of applying an element separator inside the mask that gives rise to two differentiated parts and whose separating element consists of an elastic or rubber with a width of between 1 and 8 mm that adjusts the mask to the user's face, or an additional piece so that there is greater clearance between the mask and the wearer's face. Said separating element can be further extended at the ends of the mask passing through the back of the head (nape) until both ends join.

Advantages of the model

In the first place, the invention is part of the mask itself, not having to carry other attached elements between our belongings.

Second, it prevents fogging of the glasses.

And, thirdly, it allows the air that we inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth to not mix, giving rise, among other advantages, to the following: greater oxygenation of the air we inhale, delayed respiration, causing the lungs to work more efficiently, facilitates the intake of nitric oxide which helps transport oxygen throughout the body, filters toxins and allergens from the air, warms and moistens the air before entering the lungs, etc. These advantages are increased when we carry out sports activity.

With these solutions the user gains in comfort and health.
