Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve usability by forming a space between a mouth and a nose at wearing time, by sewing a core material by pressurizing/forming nonwoven fabric in an almost spherical surface shape and the inner skin composed of the proper number of gauze by a proper width in a recessed proper place of the core material, and sewing an outer peripheral part of the inner skin and the outer skin. SOLUTION: After pressurizing/molding a sheet of nonwoven fabric using synthetic resin fiber such as polypropylene as a main raw material by putting the sheet between upper/lower molds in a heated and softened state, a core material 4 having a recessed place 9 of an almost spherical surface shape is formed by cutting out the outer periphery in a proper shape. While, the outer skin 2 and the inner skin 3 are formed of a material by cutting out a gauze sheet at a bias angle to a texture. The proper number of inner skins 3 are sewn together by a prescribed width in an almost spherical surface-shaped recessed place 9 part of the core material 4 by a sewing machine, and the inner skin 3 is brought into close contact with the recessed place 9 of the core material 4. Afterwards, the outer skin 2 opposed to the inner skin 3 by sandwiching the core material 4 is arranged, and an outer peripheral part of the inner skin 3 and the outer skin 4 are sewn via decorative cloth 7 to form a mask.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mask used mainly for catching a cold or hay fever.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mask having a structure in which a suitable number of mesh-shaped plate-like gauze is appropriately stacked and sewn on an outer peripheral portion thereof and appropriate ear hanging strings are attached to both right and left ends thereof has been frequently used.

[0003]

Therefore, when catching a cold or hay fever, the flat gauze portion should be brought into contact with the mouth and nose, and the ear-hook cords at both ends should be worn over the ears. It can be done, but because the flat gauze is in direct contact with the mouth and nose, it is difficult to breathe, and it is not suitable especially for long hours of work, and it is just a flat gauze Therefore, pollen and the like easily penetrate from the periphery of the nose, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient mask effect, and it is hard to say that the appearance is beautiful. In addition, there is a case where a gauze is applied to the surface of a net-shaped synthetic resin molded product, and the gauze is applied to the inside of a flat mask, but a hard synthetic resin molded product hits the face and the feeling of use is poor. It was easy to slip on the way and was hard to use.

[0004] For this reason, an appropriate space can be provided between the mouth and the nose when worn, and the mask has a sufficient original function of the mask. Is desired.

[0005] Therefore, as a result of repeated thought and error of the day and night, the present inventor has come to the invention of a mask that can satisfy the conventional demand by sandwiching a nonwoven fabric having a predetermined shape between the inner skin and the epidermis of the mask. Things.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a core material obtained by press-forming a non-woven fabric made of a suitable synthetic resin fiber as a main raw material into a substantially spherical shape, and An inner skin made of gauze or the like is sewn by an appropriate width in an appropriate place in the recess of the core material, and is opposed to the inner skin so as to sandwich the core material, thereby providing an appropriate number of skins made of gauze or the like. The mask has a structure in which the outer peripheral portions of the inner skin and the epidermis are sewn via an appropriate decorative cloth, and appropriate ear hanging strings are attached to both ends.

[0007]

Therefore, the mask of the present invention can be used in the same manner as a conventional mask, and in that case, both the mouth and the nose tip are located through the mask inner skin and an appropriate space, In addition, the outer peripheral portion of the mask is softly adhered to an appropriate part of the outer peripheral portion of the mouth and the nose, so that the original function of the mask can be sufficiently performed.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view, FIG. 3 is a rear view, FIG. 4 is a plan view, FIG. 5 is a right side view, FIG. 8 and 9 are cross-sectional views illustrating an example of a method of molding a core material, FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a molded core material, and FIGS. 11 and 12 are diagrams of a mask of the present invention. It is a perspective view showing a manufacturing process,
For example, a sheet 4A of a non-woven fabric mainly made of a suitable synthetic resin fiber such as polypropylene is used as a heating means 50 as shown in FIG.
And then pressurized as shown in FIG. 9 between the upper mold 30 and the lower mold 40, and then the outer periphery is cut into an appropriate shape to have a substantially spherical recess 9 as shown in FIG. The core material 4 is formed. The core 4 may be formed by vacuum forming. In addition, as shown in FIG.
It has good appearance when used and spherical core material 4 when processing.
In order to make it easy to fit into the gauze sheet 20, it is inclined with the weave of the gauze sheet 20 and cut at a bias angle with respect to the so-called weave to obtain the epidermis 2 and the endothelium 3, and then to a sewing machine or the like as shown in FIG. A stitch 8 is formed by stitching a predetermined width in the recess 9 of the core material 4 having an appropriate number of the inner skins 3 and 3 and the substantially spherical recess 9, and the inner skin 3 is formed in the recess 9 of the core material 4. So that the skins 2 and 2 are positioned so as to face the inner skin 3 so as to sandwich the core material 4, and further through a decorative cloth 7 formed by folding a cotton cloth or the like into an appropriate width. FIG.
Then, the outer periphery is sewn at the seam 10 as shown in FIG. 12, then the both right and left ends are folded back as shown in FIG. 12 and sewn together at the seam 11 shown in FIG. In this case, the product of the present invention is configured by attaching an ear hanging string 6 made of, for example, a rubber string or the like so that the knot 6A is located inside the insertion hole 5.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the person P hangs the ear straps 6 and 6 on the ears as in the prior art, and the endothelium 3 has an appropriate space between the mouth and the nose. The decorative cloth 7 can be used in a state in which the decorative cloth 7 is softly adhered to the appropriate place on the face,
It does not feel stuffy, has adequate breathability and moisture retention, and can completely prevent the invasion of foreign substances from the outside.In use, the appearance is good,
Because the core material is soft and the core material is soft, there is no sense of incongruity at the part where the outer peripheral portion is in contact with the face, and the processing of the core material is easy, and there is no difficulty in transportation and the like, and an inexpensive mask can be provided at low cost.

The nonwoven fabric used as the core material can be mixed with Japanese paper fibers having hygroscopicity.

Also, granules such as activated carbon may be inserted into fibers of the nonwoven fabric serving as the core material to have an odor absorbing effect, or a chemical having a sterilizing effect may be applied to the surface of the core material. You can also.

Further, when the core material is molded, irregularities may be formed at portions of the core material which are in contact with both sides of the nose so as to be substantially in close contact with the protruding shape of the nose.

The gauze mesh and the number of gauze used as the inner skin or the epidermis can be appropriately changed to have desired air permeability according to the purpose.

Further, the length and elasticity of the ear hanging string can be freely set and provided.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, it is possible to make the appearance beautiful and have appropriate colors, or to appropriately change the mesh of the epidermis and the endothelium to make the skin feel good. The present invention can be modified and implemented without departing from the gist, for example, it may have a predetermined ventilation amount.

[0017]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the inner skin of the mask does not touch the mouth or nose during use, a suitable ventilation volume can be secured, and there is no feeling of discomfort. It is possible to provide a mask that can be worn in a good format without hindering conversation.
