The mask of this embodiment includes a mask main body 1 that covers a target portion of a face including a nose and a mouth having folds 3, and the mask main body 1. The mouthpiece sheet 2 having a fold line 5 detachably attached to the side of the face including the nose and mouth that comes into contact with the target portion, and attached to the left and right side portions of the mask body portion 1, the mask body portion 1 can be heard. And an ear hooking portion 4 for latching.

  In FIG. 2, the mouthpiece sheet 2 is attached on the upper side and the lower side of the mask main body 1 by a pressure bonding process such as thermocompression bonding or ultrasonic pressure bonding. The mouthpiece sheet 2 is configured by laminating a plurality of sheets. When the mouthpiece sheet 2 on the front side becomes dirty, it can be removed by peeling or cutting the sheets one by one from the upper side. It is like that.

  The mask main body 1 is formed of a flexible and breathable sheet such as woven fabric, non-woven fabric, or knitted fabric, or paper. As the sheet material of the mask main body 1, a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric such as gauze is preferable among the materials. Here, the nonwoven fabric is a cloth that is not woven and is formed by bonding fibers with a synthetic resin or other adhesive. This non-woven fabric is rich in elasticity and excellent in air permeability, and is used as a core material for clothes and the like, and also has an action of preventing deformation. Furthermore, since the nonwoven fabric is formed by entangled fibers, it does not have vertical and horizontal directions and is difficult to fray, so it is used for various applications.

  Such nonwoven fabric manufacturing methods include, for example, a suction heat bond method for heat-treating a web obtained using a card machine, a mechanically entangled needle punch method, a spun lace method for hydroentanglement, a spun bond method, It can be produced by a melt blown method, an SMS method (bonding of a spunbond nonwoven fabric and a meltblown nonwoven fabric) or the like. Of these, the spunbond method is preferable because of its good productivity and low cost.

  Examples of fibers constituting the mask body 1 include natural fibers such as wool, silk, linen and cotton, recycled fibers such as rayon and acetate, synthetic materials such as polyester, polyamide, vinylon, polyacrylonitrile, polyolefin and spandex. It can be composed of various fibers such as fibers. More preferred are polyolefins, polyesters and polyamides.

  Examples of the polyolefin include polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1, polypentene-1, and random or block copolymers thereof, or further unsaturated such as methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, crotonic acid, and itaconic acid. Examples thereof include polyolefin polymers obtained by copolymerizing at least one selected from carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof such as esters and acid anhydrides thereof. Furthermore, the graft polymer which grafted at least 1 sort (s) of the said unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative (s) to the said polyolefin-type polymer can be mentioned.

  Examples of the polyester include polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate. Examples of the polyamide include nylon-6 and nylon-66.

  The mask main body 1 has a plurality of creases 3 (wall-like creases formed by zigzag folding) along the width direction. The number of creases 3 is preferably 2-6. In the present embodiment, when the upper end and the lower end are pulled apart at the intermediate portion in the width direction of the mask main body 1, the fold 3 is expanded so that the central portion bulges outward, and is deformed into a cup shape as a whole. It is supposed to be. Therefore, if it is applied so as to cover the wearer's mouth and nasal cavity in this state, the space can be covered around the mouth and nasal cavity. The left and right ends of the fold 3 are provided with welded portions so that the left and right ends of the fold 3 are not expanded.

  Here, as the shape of the mask main body 1, an appropriate shape such as an ellipse or a rhombus can be adopted in addition to a rectangle.

  The mouthpiece sheet 2 in the mask of the embodiment of the present invention is formed of at least a breathable material, such as a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, paper, etc., and a plurality of sheets are laminated and removed by peeling or cutting each one. It is attached as possible. As the non-woven fabric forming the mouthpiece sheet 2, the same material as the mask main body 1 may be used, but those having a flat surface with less fluffing and unevenness are preferred, for example, polypropylene, polyester, rayon, etc. Nonwoven fabrics are preferred. Moreover, the thickness of a nonwoven fabric is although it does not specifically limit, The thing of the thickness of about 0.1 mm-0.3 mm is preferable.

  By smoothing the surface of the mouthpiece sheet 2 in the mask of the present embodiment, for example, adhesion of foundation, lipstick, etc. may be suppressed. Further, the surface of the mouthpiece sheet 2 may be made smoother by treating or applying the mouthpiece sheet 2 with a lubricant such as silicon or fluorine to further suppress the adhesion of the foundation or lipstick. As the lubricant, silicon and fluorine are suitable, but stearic acid or the like may be used. Further, a spherical powder such as nylon powder or polyethylene powder may be applied. These spherical powders can effectively suppress adhesion of foundation, lipstick and the like to the mouthpiece sheet 2. Moreover, although spherical powder may adhere to skin, since it is transparent, there is no problem even if it adheres to skin. Furthermore, as the spherical powder, in addition to the nylon powder and polyethylene powder, polyethyl methacrylate, silica, alumina and the like can be used.

  The mouthpiece sheet 2 has a crease 5 (pleated crease) of a corresponding size at a position corresponding to the crease 3 (pleated crease) of the mask main body 1. The fold 5 of the mouthpiece sheet 2 is folded along the crease of the crease 3 of the mask body 1 so that the mouthpiece sheet 2 can be folded flat together with the mask body 1.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the mouthpiece sheet 2 may have a crease 3 of the mask body 1 at a position corresponding to the crease 5 of the mouthpiece sheet 2.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the crease 5 formed in the mouthpiece sheet 2 is formed with four creases 5 in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece sheet 2. This crease 5 can be applied in various folds, such as a box fold shape that forms a fold symmetrically around the center of the mouthpiece sheet 2, and a car fold shape that continues to overlap with a fold that collapses to one side. Can be formed as FIG. 4B shows a cross-sectional view of the box pleat type viewed from the end side of the mouthpiece sheet 2, and FIG. 4C shows a cross-sectional view of the car pleat type. In order to bring the mask into close contact with the face in a well-balanced manner, it is preferable to form the crease 5 with a box pleat shape shown in FIG. It is also possible to provide welded portions at both left and right ends of the fold so that the left and right ends of the fold 5 do not expand.

  As a method for exchanging the mouthpiece sheet 2, the mouthpiece sheet 2 attached by the pressure bonding means is sequentially peeled from the upper side, cut by perforations, fixed by a hook-and-loop fastener or double-sided tape, and peelable by an adhesive. Adhesion and the like. From the viewpoint of sure fixation and prevention of off-flavor, adhesion and peeling by a crimping means, or cutting by perforation is preferable.

  Examples of the pressure bonding means include thermal pressure bonding and ultrasonic pressure bonding. The heating temperature at the time of pressure bonding is preferably 1 to 40 ° C. lower than the melting point of the material used for the mask main body 1 and the mouthpiece sheet 2, more preferably 5 to 20 ° C. lower than the melting point of the material. When the heating temperature of thermocompression bonding is a temperature lower than 1 ° C. below the melting point of the material used for the mask main body 1 and the mouthpiece sheet 2, since the material melts rapidly, not only the crimping point becomes hard, The mouthpiece sheet 2 cannot be peeled off, which is not preferable.

  Further, when the temperature is higher than the melting point of the material used for the mask main body 1 and the mouthpiece sheet 2 by more than 40 ° C., the material is not sufficiently fused and the pressure bonding is physically weak. This is not preferable because the mouthpiece sheet 2 easily peels off. The crimping load and the crimping time at the time of the crimping are not particularly limited as long as the contact sheet 2 can be peeled off. Furthermore, the crimping state may be anything as long as it can be peeled off, and may be any of continuous crimping, point crimping, and the like.

  As a method of cutting with a perforation, it is sufficient that a cut line is formed by the perforation, and the shape may be any shape such as a straight line or a curved line, and the number thereof may be one or more, Further, it may be continuous or discontinuous. Further, the structure of the cut line may be any state of a through hole or a through hole, a half cut state, or a state in which they are mixed. In the embodiment of the present invention, the portion is weak. It is sufficient to act as a cut for cutting the mouthpiece sheet 2. .

  The ear hooking portion 4 is provided on the left and right side portions of the mask main body portion 1 and is thermally bonded to the back surface or the front surface of the left and right side portions of the outer nonwoven fabric or the mouth side nonwoven fabric when the mask main body portion 1 is thermally bonded. . Thus, since the ear hook 4 is thermally bonded to the mask main body 1 by ultrasonic waves, the ear hook 4 can be easily attached to the mask main body 1. As the ear hook 4, for example, a flat string having a stretchability made of spandex (polyurethane) and having a substantially rectangular cross section is used. Thus, if a flat string is used, the contact area of the ear hook part 4 and the lip side nonwoven fabric can be taken large at the time of the thermal bonding, and both can be bonded well. In addition, if the thing made from a spandex is used as the ear hook part 4, compared with the case where the thing made from rubber is used, it is hard to be damaged at the time of the above thermal bonding, and the strength is not weakened, and it can be repeatedly expanded and contracted. , Elasticity is difficult to lose. In addition, if a flat strap made of spandex is used as the ear hanger 4, the ear hanger 4 softly touches the wearer's skin when wearing a mask, and the wearing comfort is improved.

  In the mask of the embodiment of the present invention, the mouthpiece sheet 2 is preferably colored. When foundation, lipstick, runny nose, saliva or the like adheres and the mouthpiece sheet 2 becomes dirty, the mouthpiece sheet 2 is colored so that the dirt can be hidden.

  A nose wire may be used for the mask of this embodiment. The nose wire is used to fit the mask body 1 to the shape of the wearer's nose, thereby making it difficult for the mask body 1 to shift when the mask is worn, and the gap on the side of the nose is substantially blocked. The The nose wire is interposed between the upper ends of the outer and intermediate nonwoven fabrics in the mask main body 1 or between the upper ends of the intermediate and mouth side nonwoven fabrics, and is disposed in the left and right directions at the upper end in the mask main body 1. Yes. The nose wire is fixed to the mask body 1 by thermally bonding the periphery of the nose wire in the mask body 1 when the mask body 1 is thermally bonded. As the nose wire, for example, a soft wire, a plastic resin, or the like is used.

  From the viewpoint of preventing the occurrence of stuffiness during wearing of the mask, the mask body 1 may contain a hygroscopic material. For example, a water absorption polymer, a moisture absorption fiber, a desiccant, etc. can be included. In addition, various deodorizers or deodorizers can be included in the mask body 1 from the viewpoint of preventing the generation of a strange odor during wearing of the mask. Examples of such agents include minerals such as cancrinite, activated carbon, and zeolite. These agents can be, for example, fibrous, granular, or liquid. Furthermore, the mask main body 1 can contain, for example, a disinfectant, a bactericidal agent, an antibacterial agent and the like. These agents are, for example, fibrous or liquid.

  In use, as shown in FIG. 5, when the mask body 1 is pushed outward from the side that contacts the target portion of the face including the nose and mouth, the folds of both the mask body 1 and the mouthpiece sheet 2 are removed. Extend and use in a mountain shape outward. When soiled by foundation, lipstick, runny nose, saliva or the like, the sheet is removed by peeling or cutting each sheet from the sheet 2 laminated with a plurality of sheets, and the new sheet 2 is exposed on the surface side.

  At the time of storing or carrying, the fold 3 of the mask body 1 is formed at a position corresponding to the fold 5 of the mouthpiece sheet 2, so that the mouthpiece along the crease 3 of the mask body 1. By folding the fold 5 of the sheet 2, the mouthpiece sheet 2 can be folded together with the mask body 1, and the contact portion of the mouthpiece sheet 2 with the mouth or nose is retracted from the surface side.
