Abstract

The device has a mask (1) comprising a cylindrical visor for totally covering a face of a user, where the visor is made of transparent polycarbonate. The mask includes a cellular structure supported on a front for maintaining the visor at a distance to avoid contact with a nose of wearer and for providing sufficient aeration for respiration. Anti UV screens are provided on the visor to protect the eyes. The visor is colored by application of surface treatment according to a controlled dosage of transmission of light.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de protection contrôlée des UV pour un bronzage intégral et progressif du visage au soleil et plus particulièrement celui du bronzage pendant le bain de soleil à la plage ou chez soi. Actuellement, les personnes prennent des bains de soleil pour bronzer, et portent des lunettes à verres teintés qui laissent apparaître des traces blanches sur la figure à leur emplacement, ces traces ont un effet disgracieux. L'invention remédie à ces inconvénients, elle assure la protection des yeux par deux écrans anti UV 400, incorporés dans une visière, laquelle fait partie intégrante du masque. La visière enveloppe complètement le visage, elle est réalisée dans un matériau surfacé optique transparent, qui peut recevoir à des degrés différents, des traitements de surface, pour appliquer des teintes de transmission contrôlée des UV pour un bronzage progressif et moins agressif. La visière est de préférence en polycarbonate : elle peut-être obtenue à partir de feuilles cintrées surfacées, ou par injection, extrusion ou thermoformage. The invention relates to a controlled UV protection device for a full and progressive tanning of the face in the sun and more particularly that of tanning during the sunbathing at the beach or at home. Currently, people take sunbathing for sunbathing, and wear tinted glasses that show white marks on the figure at their location, these traces have an unsightly effect. The invention overcomes these disadvantages, it provides eye protection by two anti-UV screens 400, incorporated into a visor, which is an integral part of the mask. The visor completely envelopes the face, it is made of a transparent optical surface material, which can receive different degrees of surface treatments, to apply controlled transmission UV tints for a gradual and less aggressive tanning. The visor is preferably polycarbonate: it can be obtained from surfaced arched sheets, or by injection, extrusion or thermoforming.

La visière d'une forme demie cylindrique, se positionne à distance du visage en prenant appui sur le front de l'utilisateur par une structure alvéolée qui évite le contact de la visière avec le nez et permet une aération suffisante pour sa respiration. Cet espace d'air entre visière et visage évite aussi la condensation, pour augmenter la circulation de l'air et facilité la respiration, il existe une ouverture sur la visière à l'emplacement de la bouche (20). La visière est soit teintée dans la masse, soit par application d'un traitement de surface, selon un dosage contrôlé de la transmission de la lumière pour obtenir le bronzage souhaité. La visière légèrement teintée permet un dosage contrôlé de la transmission des UV et détermine le temps d'exposition au soleil pour le type de bronzage souhaité. Le masque par sa qualité optique, surfacée, ses écrans anti UV, (21) (22 )procure à l'utilisateur la même protection des yeux que les lunettes de soleil, il lui permet de lire et de s'exposer au soleil sans que sa vue en soit gênée. La figure 1 représente en perspective le masque (1) selon l'invention : Les lignes (2) et (3) correspondent à la longueur du masque. Les lignes (4) et (5) correspondent à la largeur incurvée pour s'adapter sur le visage de l'utilisateur. Les lignes (6) et (7) correspondent à l'espace entre le masque et le front de l'utilisateur. -2- Les parties hachurées (8), (9) et (10) encadrent les espaces vides (11), (12), (13) et (14) qui sont des espaces d'aération du masque qui peuvent être plus nombreux, et non limités. Les fixations des branches pivotantes, (15) û (16) et (15') û (16') sont réalisées par les rotules (17) et (17') elles permettent aux branches de pivoter de 90°. Les barres (18) et (18') représentent non limitativement les points d'appui du masque sur le front de l'utilisateur, qui peuvent être reliés ou non entre eux et avoir des formes différentes avec comme principale caractéristique, d'être les plus fins et les plus reculés possible dans la chevelure, pour ne pas laisser de traces non bronzées. Pour faciliter le déplacement de l'utilisateur pendant son exposition au soleil, le masque pivote de 90°, grâce à ses branches pivotantes, (19) il se redresse et prend appui perpendiculairement sur le front et reste stable, sans gène ; à l'identique d'une visière, pendant tous les déplacements de l'utilisateur. The visor of a semi-cylindrical shape, is positioned at a distance from the face by bearing on the forehead of the user by a honeycomb structure that avoids the contact of the visor with the nose and allows ventilation sufficient for his breathing. This air space between visor and face also prevents condensation, to increase the circulation of air and ease breathing, there is an opening on the visor at the location of the mouth (20). The visor is either colored in the mass or by application of a surface treatment, according to a controlled dosage of the transmission of light to obtain the desired tan. The slightly tinted visor allows for controlled dosing of UV transmission and determines the sun exposure time for the desired tanning type. The mask by its optical quality, surfaced, its anti-UV screens, (21) (22) gives the user the same protection of the eyes as the sunglasses, it allows him to read and expose himself to the sun without his sight is embarrassed. FIG. 1 represents in perspective the mask (1) according to the invention: The lines (2) and (3) correspond to the length of the mask. Lines (4) and (5) correspond to the curved width to fit on the face of the user. Lines (6) and (7) correspond to the space between the mask and the user's forehead. The hatched portions (8), (9) and (10) surround the voids (11), (12), (13) and (14) which are ventilation spaces of the mask which may be more numerous. , and not limited. The attachments of the pivoting legs, (15) - (16) and (15 ') - (16') are formed by the ball joints (17) and (17 ') they allow the branches to pivot by 90 °. The bars (18) and (18 ') represent, without limitation, the points of support of the mask on the user's forehead, which may or may not be connected to one another and have different shapes with, as their main characteristic, being the finer and more remote possible in the hair, not to leave untanned traces. To facilitate the movement of the user during its exposure to the sun, the mask rotates 90 °, thanks to its pivoting branches, (19) it stands up and bears perpendicularly on the forehead and remains stable, without gene; the same as a visor, during all movements of the user.

L'invention est destinée en général à l'industrie de la protection du corps humain, et plus particulièrement à celle des yeux. The invention is generally intended for the industry of protecting the human body, and more particularly to that of the eyes.
