Description

Procedure for the formation of a mask.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a procedure for the conformation of a mask. This process is handmade.

Background of the invention

The masks that are known are preferably of plastic and are manufactured by molding and do not have a good adaptability to the face so they fall easily or else move when making fast movements.

As for the quality it is usually low and this influences, of course, the termination, placement and use of said mask.

Description of the invention

With the process of the invention it is obtained a handmade mask, high quality and therefore does not have the problems or inconveniences presented by masks Traditional

According to the invention the procedure comprises using a receptacle or mold made of carved wood to hand, whose surface is covered with cotton cloth scraps impregnated in glue heated in boiling water, forming four complete layers of fabric determining a body that is allowed to cool outdoors and dries for three hours, after this time the demoulding takes place obtaining the body of the mask.

In the open part of the body and in your area inner perimeter fits a plasticized wire that is fixed through thin wires regularly distributed at points of its perimeter length.

The lateral areas corresponding to the Ear positions are formed with separate closed contours of plasticized wire that are fixed to the mask body with fine wire

Both the extreme wires and those of the ears are covered with cloth impregnated in glue and so it is all forming a single piece with the body of the mask.

Portions of thick wire are introduced at one end through a cut made in the part of the mask, corresponding to the forehead, and fastened with fine wire, covering the anchor points with cloth impregnated in glue.

In a later plane some are also fixed metal rod portions bent in spiral and topped in tip. The couplings are covered with cloth impregnated in glue.

In the body in which the mask forms are made the cuts corresponding to the eyes and mouth with a form of curved carpentry positioning the mask on a surface appropriate and hitting the form with a special wooden mace.

The mask thus constituted is painted inside and on the outside, fitting it conveniently.

Description of a practical embodiment of the invention

Mask 1 conformed with the procedure of the invention comprises a body 2 obtained on a wooden mold Hand carved, not represented.

The body consists of the conformation of four 3 layers of cloth scraps impregnated with water-heated glue boiling.

Once it cools outdoors and dries during 3 hours is removed from the mold, not shown.

To stiffen the perimeter open end 4 of the body 2 a wire is arranged inside the body plasticized 5 that is positioned and fixed with pieces of fine wire 6 which constitute hooks, covering the wire and its hooks with fabric impregnated in glue.

The ears conform with plasticized wire defining closed contours 7 fixed with fine wire covering these fixing areas with cloth impregnated in glue forming the outgoing portions 8.

In the part of the forehead openings are made to through which the ends of thick wires are passed bent by hand in the form of propeller 9 that determine portions in the form of horns coated with hemp 10.

After the plane that defines the portions protrusions 8 appear attached and fixed to the mask a few portions 11 spirally bent and straight metal ends introduced through openings and fixed with fine wire covering the union with fabric and tail.

The mask is finished making with openings 12 that simulate the eyes and another arched opening 13 that It simulates the mouth.

The mask is finally painted inside and by outside adorning it with brushstrokes 14 that determines the features of the face.

Claims (2)

1. Procedure for the conformation of a mask; characterized in that it comprises: - a carved wooden mold covering the surface thereof with fabric scraps, preferably of cotton, impregnated in glue that has been heated by water boiling, arranging the scraps forming layers and determining The body of the mask. - the mask body cools on the outdoor mold and dried for three hours and then it Unmold. - in the body of the mask, in its open part and inside, a perimeter plasticized wire is fixed by medium of thin wire hooks, coating the wires with fabric and tail. - in the lateral and opposite areas of the body of the mask are positioned wire contours, which are fixed by medium of thin wire hooks that are part of some portions that simulate the ears once the wires are covered with cloth and tail scraps. - on the forehead of the body of the mask cuts are made to introduce the ends of portions of bent helix-shaped wire that determine about horns that are covered with a hemp thread; while in a backplane the ends of two portions in the form of iron rod spirally bent in the longitudinal direction and topped off; these portions just like the wires that determine the horns are fixed to the body of the mask with remnants of tissue and tail. - in the body of the mask are practiced openings, close to the eyes and another opening, below of the above, which determines the mouth. - the mask thus constituted is painted inside and on the outside determining with it the own features of the face represented on the outside. 2. Method according to claim 1 characterized in that the body of the mask is constituted by four layers.
