Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mask that can be put on a nose.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a cold or hay fever occurs, a mask is usually put on to prevent cold outside air, external bacteria and pollen mixed with the air from entering the body. The mask generally comprises a body made of a flexible material such as a square planar gauze, and ear straps attached to both sides of the body. When the ear straps are hung on both ears, the mask body is pulled left and right by the pulling force of the ear straps, and the mask body is deformed into a shape along the outer surface of the face,
The mask body covers the nose and mouth.

[0003]

The conventional mask only covers the whole outside of the nose and mouth. Since the position of the nose on which the mask body is hung (the tip of the back of the nose and the nose wings on both sides) is mountain-shaped, a gap is formed between the body and the mountain-shaped nose in the conventional mask. Further, in the conventional mask, the mask does not directly contact the nostrils to close the nostrils. For this reason, there is a drawback that outside air that does not pass through the mask body enters the nostrils from the gap between the mask body and the nose, and the effect of the mask that prevents invasion of pollen, cold virus, etc. cannot be sufficiently obtained. . Furthermore, when a filter made of a somewhat rigid material is inserted to enhance the performance of the mask in the mask body, a gap is formed between both side edges of the body and the cheek. There is also a drawback that outside air that does not pass through the nostrils enters the nostrils and the effect as a mask cannot be sufficiently obtained. In addition, in order to correct this defect, put a wire-like thing on both sides of the main body, shape the wire-like thing by hand and make it adhere to the cheek, but it takes time to shape it by hand, In addition, there is a drawback that when it is not used, it becomes three-dimensional and is difficult to store in a bag or the like.

[0004] Conventionally, the mask has a body that covers both the nose and the mouth. For this reason, there were drawbacks that when the mask was worn for a long time, breathing became difficult, for a female person, lipstick was attached to the mask, and when the mask was worn for a long time, talking, eating and drinking could not be freely performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and greatly reduces the gap between the main body and the nose and the gap between the main body and the cheek so that the effect of blocking the outside air can be reduced as compared with the related art. It is an object to provide a mask that is enhanced.

Another object of the present invention is to cover the nostrils directly without covering the mouth, thereby further enhancing the effect of blocking the outside air, and without having to feel breathless when wearing a mask, and to eat and drink. It is intended to provide a mask that enables the user to talk.

[0007]

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mask having a main body for covering a mouth and a nose, and an ear strap for hanging an ear on both sides of the main body. A nose hook, in which the upper edge and both sides are fixed to the main body without fixing the lower edge to the main body, is provided on the back side of the main body, and the vertical length of the nose hook is shorter than the vertical length of the main body. ,
The lower edge of the nose hook is turned up, and the inner surface of the turned nose hook is hung on the back of the nose.

The mask according to the present invention further includes a mask having a main body, and an ear hanging string on both sides of the main body, wherein an upper edge and both sides are fixed to the main body and a lower edge is fixed to the main body. A nose hook that is not provided is provided on the back side of the main body, the lower edge of the nose hook is turned over, the inner surface of the turned nose hook is hung on the nose back, the nostril is covered with the main body, and the nose hook is covered with the nose back. When the body is covered with the nostrils, the body is not covered with the mouth.

The mask according to the present invention also includes a nose hook for hanging on a nose, an ear hook string attached to both sides of the nose hook, and a side opposite to the other edge without fixing one edge to the main body. And a nose closing portion for fixing the nose to the nose hook portion,
The nose hook was hung on the back of the nose, the nostrils were covered with the nostrils, and the nose hooks were hung on the back of the nose, and none of the members covered the mouth with the nostrils covered with the nose closures. Things.

And a thin under-nose pad 42 extending downward from the thick portion 40. The nasal contact portion 42 is a part of the second main body 32 (a lower portion that does not overlap with the first main body 30), and
It is located at the same height position as the lower end position of attachment to the camera or below it.

The vertical length of the thick portion 40 is
And the length in the vertical direction of the under-nose contact portion 42 is set to a length of about 5 mm to 10 mm under the nose. The length in the vertical direction of the thick portion 40 and the lower nose contact portion 42 is not limited to this. However, when a mask is applied, the thick portion 40 covers the nostril 44 and the lower nose contact portion 42 covers the mouth. Set so that it does not occur.

The nose hook 34 and the second main body 32 are provided with a sewing thread 38.
As shown in FIG. 14, a bag portion 46 having an opening at an upper portion is formed in the second body 32, and a filter 48 is provided inside the bag portion 46. Etc. can be stored detachably. The filter 48 generally includes a thick body portion and a thin cover portion. When the filter 48 is stored in the bag portion 46, the thin cover portion is stored in the bag portion 46 first. That is, of the filter 48, the thick body portion is positioned at the thick portion 40, and the thin cover portion of the filter 48 is
2 position. The filter 48 and the like may be fixed to the first main body 30 and the second main body 32 with the sewing thread 38 without being detachable. In this case, the thick main body of the filter 48 is located at the thick portion 40.
For example, when the filter 48 is fixed to the second main body 32, the filter 48 may be fixed or sandwiched also on the nose hook portion 44 as shown in FIG.

The mask body (3) is provided inside the bag portion 46.
(0, 32), a shape holding member 50 for maintaining the shape of the lower edge may be accommodated. The shape holding member 50 may be deformable like a wire, or may be deformed by an external force such as a shape memory alloy and return to the original shape when the external force is removed. In FIG. 14, the shape holding member 50 is arranged at a position near the lower edge of the lower nose pad 42, but the shape holding member 50 is arranged at the lower edge of the thick portion 40 (by sewing or the like). Is also good. In the present invention, the mask main body is composed of the first main body 30 and the second main body 32, but the mask main body may be composed of one. Further, the lower nose pad 42 is formed by the second main body 32, but is not limited thereto. Note that the entire side surface of the nose hook portion 34 is covered with the sewing thread 3.
Although fixed to the main body at 8, only the lower end of the side surface of the nose hook 34 may be fixed to the main body. Further, the nose hook portion 34 and the mask body (30, 32) are fixed by the sewing thread 38, but the fixing means is not limited to the sewing thread 38.

Next, when using the mask of the present invention,
As shown in FIG. 16, the center of the free edge 52, which is the lower edge of the nose hook 34, is turned up. As shown in FIG. Nose wings). When the center of the free edge 52 of the nose hook 34 is lifted, the shape from the center of the nose hook 34 to both sides becomes a three-dimensional mountain shape as shown in FIG. It will be in a hanging state. As shown in FIG. 17, in a state where the mask is hung, the mask body (30, 3
The thick portion 40 of 2) has a length in the vertical direction that is just the nostril 4.
Nostrils 44 are in contact with the nose position where
0 completely covered. At this time, the mask body (30, 3
Since (2) is pulled by the ear hanging cord 36, the mask body (30, 32) can surely cover the nostrils 44.
Further, the lower nose pad 42 extending downward from the thick portion 40 contacts the lower part of the nose 54 and does not catch on the mouth. As described above, in the mask of the present invention, since the thick portion 40 of the mask body (30, 32) directly contacts and covers the nose where the nostril 44 is located, the outside air directly enters the nostril 44. Can be prevented, and the function and effect as a mask can be further enhanced.

As shown in FIG. 17, when the mask is put on the mask, the free edge 52 of the nose hook 34 is attached to the mask body (30, 3).
Since it is pulled toward both sides fixed to the thick portion 40 of 2), the shape of the nose hook 34 matches the outer shape of the nose. Therefore, in the present invention, the gap between the nose and the mask body (12, 16) is very small as compared with the conventional flat mask, and the air between the nose and the mask body without passing through the mask is very small. The amount of traffic can be reduced, and the effect as a mask can be enhanced. In the present invention, the lower nose pad 42 provided below the thick portion 40 contacts the lower nose 54. As a result, the thick portion 4 covering the nostrils 44
The gap between the mask and the lower part of the nose can be prevented above the zero by the nose pad portion 34 and the gap between the mask and the lower part of the nose can be prevented below the thick portion 40 by the lower nose pad 42. The effect as a mask can be further enhanced.

In the present invention, the mask body (30, 3)
2) is not spoken. For this reason, even if the mask is worn for a long time, breathlessness is not felt, and the lipstick does not stick to the female person, and the woman can freely eat, drink and talk. In addition, it is very convenient for those who want to cover only the nose with a mask. Further, in the mask of the present invention, since the shape of the nose hook portion 34 conforms to the outer shape of the central tip of the nose and the nose wings on both sides thereof, the mask does not shift downward, and the position of the mask is stable. I do. Further, if the filter 48 is fixed or sandwiched between the nose hooks 34, the nose hooks 34 can be made thicker and rigid, and the shape of the nose hooks 34 can be prevented, and the mask can be tightly attached to the nose. Can be in close contact.

FIG. 18 shows an improved example of the present invention. FIG. 18 is a rear view of the mask of the present invention and corresponds to FIG. The difference between the embodiment shown in FIG. 18 and the embodiment shown in FIG. 11 is that the vertical height of the mask body (30, 32) is reduced at an appropriate position inside the mask body (30, 32) from the left and right. In that it is provided with a throttle means 56 for keeping the state. For example, left and right 2 of the mask body (30, 32)
Appropriate locations are folded vertically in an accordion shape or the like, and the folded portion is fixed in a state of being shortened in the longitudinal direction by a squeezing means 56 made of rubber, wire, or thread. At this time, the nose hook 34 is also shortened in the vertical direction by the diaphragm means 56.

When the nose hook portion 34 in the area surrounded by the two aperture means 56 is put on the nose, the mask body (30, 32) in the area surrounded by the aperture means 56 does not cover the cheek, It only covers the nose. As a result, the nose hook 34 fits more closely to the tip of the back of the nose and the outer shape of the nose wing, and the lower nose pad 42 fits better to the lower part of the nose 54, further enhancing the blocking effect as a mask. I can do it. The diaphragm means 56 may be detachable from the mask body (30, 32) or may be fixed.
