Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inexpensively provide a mask having a favorable adhesion to the face on the side parts of a mask body even if wearing glasses, preventing the glasses from getting fogged and having high user friendliness by allowing the adjustment of the length of a string. <P>SOLUTION: For preventing the losing of the shape retained by a variable shape-retaining core which is often used for sanitary masks for being fitted to the unevenness of the face and is embedded at the body upper base, an attaching method of the string for wearing the mask is changed into, not a method of pulling the body from the left/right, but a method of using just a pressing force from the front side obtained by passing the string through string loops in front of a face-projecting-section contact part of the body upper base. The length of the wearing string becomes adjustable by easily fastening the wearing string to a plastic piece with a wedge-shaped cut, or the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a mask with improved adhesion to the face of the side of the mask body.

  In the present invention for improving the adhesion between the side of the mask body and the face with the sanitary mask, the nose fitter is called a nose fitter at the contact portion of the mask body with a moderate plasticity and elasticity, Many have incorporated a plastic core (see Patent Document 1). In the present application, the incorporated core material is referred to as a variable shape retaining core. However, sufficient adhesion around the nose bridge portion could not be secured only by this variable shape holding core.

In addition, there is one that blocks the flow of exhaled air to the upper glasses by attaching a nasal gap filling blocking member with a sponge or cloth to match the unevenness of the face to the part that contacts the nasal bridge part or cheekbone part (Patent Document) 2). However, there are drawbacks that it takes time and effort to manufacture, and it becomes a three-dimensional product and is bulky to distribute.
In many eye masks, cloths were three-dimensionally sewn to the nasal bridge part abutting part to block the gap, but the light shielding effect was not sufficient.

  Regarding the length adjustment of the mask string, there has been a hook that hooks the loop of the ear-worn string on several hooks of a thin plastic plate (see Patent Document 3). However, there was a risk of touching and damaging the skin of the head directly, and it was a little exaggerated for a light disposable mask.

JP-A-6-39051 JP 2003-236000 A JP 2005-124818 A

The present invention addresses the following two as these improvement problems.
First, there are many masks in which a variable shape retaining core is incorporated in the side of the main body that hits the cheekbone from the nasal bridge, which is an uneven part of the face, but the adhesion to the face does not function sufficiently.
This is because, in principle, a contradictory force of acting the shape-retaining core on the one hand in accordance with the unevenness of the face and stretching it to the left and right with the wearing string on the mask on the other hand was acting. Although the balance has been maintained by moderately increasing the strength of the worn strings, the basic structure has been unable to ensure sufficient adhesion.

  The object of the present invention is to completely separate the force of the variable shape holding core for fitting the mask body to the face and the power of the string for wearing the body, and to ensure the airtightness of the mask with a small force without difficulty. .

Secondly, with regard to the length of the wearing string of the mask, the size of the face varies depending on the person and the gender, the selection of the mask size is troublesome, and as a tool for adjusting the length of the appropriate wearing string, The need was great. However, the mask must be lightweight to hang on the face, and the strap must be lightweight. Furthermore, disposable items made of non-woven fabric are widely used for sanitary masks, and the string length adjusting tool must be inexpensive. It should also be easy to use so that anyone can use it.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

A mask to be worn on the face, which consists of a main body and a wearing string.
A belt-like or linear variable shape holding core capable of holding a shape deformed in accordance with the unevenness is provided on the side of the main body that contacts the unevenness of the face of the cheekbone from the nose bridge part.
Also, arrange a part of the lace along the side,
A stringing tool is provided on the main body surface of the contact point between the side part, the nose bridge part, and the cheekbone part, or the contact point between the side part and the cheekbone part.
The worn string is configured so that it can freely move in the string threading tool.

  Next, an acute-angled string bite opening is provided at the center, and a string length adjustment tool that can fix the worn string is provided near the connecting part between the main body and the worn string.

In the present invention, the wearable string expands and contracts independently of the main body and passes through the string threading tool, so that the force pressing the main body integral with the variable shape holding core acts on the face. Is not stretched, and the shape remains as it is, and the side portion can come into contact with the unevenness of the face without a gap.
Therefore, the sanitary mask has improved airtightness, the filter function of the main body has been fully utilized, and the eye mask has improved the light shielding property.

Specifically, sanitary masks can contribute to hay fever, influenza and dust. In addition, exhaled air no longer leaks to the top of the mask body and the glasses no longer fog up. In addition, the eye mask eliminates light leakage from the side of the nasal bridge and can fully perform its function.

Since the airtightness is not obtained by strengthening the worn string, there is no special burden on the ear of the worn string. Despite changing the basic mechanical structure, the ease of wearing remains the same as the conventional product. The worn string leaves the front of the mask at the side corresponding to the concave portion of the face and passes directly under the eyes, but does not enter the field of view and is not bothersome.
The unused body is almost flat and is not bulky.

  You can adjust the length of the string to be used with the string length adjustment tool, so if you match the size of the body, you can match it to everyone with a single mask. Furthermore, even if the same person uses the same mask, the strength of the worn string can be realized by adjusting the length of the strap in accordance with the scenes of exercise, sitting, and sleeping.

  Since the string length adjustment tool is attached to the front side of the main body, there is no risk of touching and damaging the skin of the head or face. Because it is a small piece of plastic or metal with a small cutout that only allows the string to pass through, it is light and inexpensive, and even if attached to the main body, the burden is small in terms of weight, cost, and production.

  The method of use is simply a wedge-shaped cutout or a sharpened end of the gap, so that it can be used by anyone and is easy to explain. And when the left and right wearing straps are connected to one, this string length adjustment tool is only one, and it is adjusted as a long cord that combines the left and right wearing straps, so it is possible to adjust more delicate tension. .

It is a sanitary mask front view of the form of Example 1 of the present invention. It is a plane sectional view in the use state of the sanitary mask of the form of Example 1 of the present invention. It is a front enlarged view of the string length adjustment tool of Example 1 of this invention. It is a perspective view of the string length adjustment tool (cutout type | mold) of all the Examples of this invention. It is a sanitary mask front view of the form of Example 2 of this invention. It is a front view of the eye mask of Example 3 of this invention. FIG. 5 is another embodiment of FIG. 4 of all embodiments of the present invention. It is another Example of FIG. 4, FIG. 7 of all the Examples of this invention.

In the present application, the positional relationship in the top and bottom, left and right, and front of the mask portion is expressed with the mask wearer as the center. First, the sanitary mask will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The variable shape retaining core 20 is incorporated over substantially the entire length of the upper side 12 of the main body.

  The worn string 18 is a round rubber string that can be easily bited into the string length adjustment tool 30. Also, the main body 10 is light, so the strength of the rubber to pull is weakened. On the contrary, the string is thick to make the ear feel soft. And it was made into a rubber string connected to one on the left and right of the main body for a long time.

  And the stringing tool 25 was attached to the front side of the upper side part 12 where the nasal bridge part 01 and the cheekbone part 02 hit, and the wearing string was passed. In addition, if there is an opening from the string threading tool on the main body surface of the cheekbone contact point to the end of the upper side part, if the string threading tool is also provided at both ends of the upper side part and the worn string is also passed through this, the end is held down and looks Is good.

  The stringing tool 25 refers to a tool or a dive hole that keeps the worn string from moving away from the convex part of the face, such as the nasal bridge part or cheekbone part, so that it can move freely. Specifically, the string threading tool may be attached by making a substantially circular shape or a substantially semicircular shape with a separate string or thread from the worn string 18, but a subsidence hole is provided on the surface of the upper side portion 12 where the string threading tool is attached. It may be used as a stringer.

  In short, the shape of the upper side matched to the unevenness of the face by the variable shape holding core is not destroyed, and when the force is used to tie the main body to the face with the wearing strap, the presser's wearing strap will not slip off the convex portion on the upper side A stringer is placed on the door.

  In other words, a string threading tool is provided on the main body surface that contacts the nasal bridge portion 01 and the cheekbone portion 02 which are convex portions of the face, and the worn string in the recess between these three points is separated from the main body surface when wearing the mask. It becomes a state.

  On the other hand, since there is no recess in the face with which the lower side of the main body abuts, the variable shape retaining core 20 is unnecessary, and each end of the wearing string 18 is attached to the left and right ends 14 and 15 of the lower side of the main body as usual.

  In FIG. 1, the wearing strap is used for the ear hook, but the present invention is based on the configuration of the variable shape holding core, the wearing strap, and the string threading tool, and the tip of the wearing strap is wound around the ear hook or the head. Regardless of whether it is attached, it can be used in both cases.

  Due to the configuration of the wearing string passing through the string threading tool and the variable shape holding core, practically sufficient airtightness of the mask was obtained. However, the folding cloth that attaches a cloth to any side of the main body, folds it and folds it inside the main body further enhances the adhesion of the mask side to the face and enhances the use of the filter function of the main body. You may attach also to the upper side part of a main part, or a right-and-left side part.

Next, the string length adjusting tools 30, 32, 34 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8. FIG.
A wedge-shaped cutout is made in the center of the plastic piece, and the mask wearing string 18 is digged into the acute angle end 31 of the cutout, whereby the string length adjusting tool 30 for fixing the worn string is obtained. If the wearing string 18 is shifted in the direction opposite to the acute angle end, the bite is eliminated and the wearing string can be slipped through freely.

  A cutout is provided at the left end 14 of the lower side of the inner body where the string length adjusting tool is attached, so that it overlaps with the cutout of the attached string length adjusting tool. It was fixed to. Incidentally, even if the string length adjusting tool is attached to the right end 15 of the lower part of the main body, the basic structure is the same as long as the left and right are interchanged.

In this embodiment, since there is only one worn string, this string length adjustment tool can be attached only at one place on the left or right side of the lower side of the main body. The fact that there is only one string to wear makes the string so long that fine adjustment of tension is possible. In addition, the fact that only one string length adjustment tool is required is economical in terms of both material costs and installation production costs, and is optimal for disposable masks.

  If the sharp ends 31, 33, and 35 of the string bite opening of the string length adjusting tool are finely ridged and grooved in the biting direction, the bited string is less likely to slip sideways. Moreover, a round rubber string with a circular cross section is easy to bite into the string.

  As the string length / short adjuster, the opening type 32 of the mouth opening shown in FIG. 7 or the closing type 34 of the mouth opening shown in FIG. 8 is also conceivable, both of which have the same function of biting the string into the sharp bite opening. It is a string length adjustment tool with

Lastly, regarding appearance problems, when the wear string is bitten into the sharp edge of the cutout of the string length adjustment tool 30 and the excess looped wear string is pressed inside the body, the appearance is also bad. Absent.
The appearance feature of the present invention is that the wearing strap passes through the upper side of the main body, and the body 10 and the wearing strap 18 are made the same color or worn in order to relieve strangeness compared to the conventional product. There may be a contrivance that only the portion of the string passing through the front surface of the main body 10 is a thin material such as a thread.

Next, a prototype in which the worn string is separated into two left and right will be described with reference to FIG.
The basic structure is the same as in the case where the wearing string of Example 1 is one. The difference is that each end of the two wearing straps 18 is fixed at the nose bridge contact point at the center of the upper side portion 12 of the main body, and that the two wearing cords become two. One on each of the left and right sides 14 and 15 of the lower side.

  Even if the wear string is connected to the table 13 of the nose bridge contact point on the upper side of the main body, the wear straps 18 pass through the string threading tool 25 in the cheekbone contact point table, so that the variable attached to the upper side of the main body The shape made in the target shape holding core 20 is not destroyed by the force of the mask wearing string, and the dynamics and effects applied to the mask are the same as when the wearing string of Example 1 is one.

  FIG. 6 is a prototype eye mask. Since the main body 11 covers the eyes and the lower side of the body 11 hits the nasal bridge part 01 and the cheekbone part 02, in principle, the upper side and the lower side of the main body of the sanitary mask of Example 1 are interchanged, The string length adjustment tool is the same as that of the first embodiment. Moreover, since the light is covered, the main body 11 is a black non-woven fabric so that it can be made lighter and cheaper than a conventional cloth and can be disposable.

  Conventionally, even if an eye mask is attached, light is intruded from the side of the nasal bridge part 01. However, in the present invention, the variable shape holding core 20 covers the unevenness around the nasal bridge part, and the holding core is the same. Since it is not stretched by the wearing strap, it is sufficiently shielded from light and can be rested because no special force is applied to the face or ear 06.

  In addition, as in Example 2 for the sanitary mask, even with the eye mask, it is possible to divide the wearing string into two and connect it to the main body with the main body surface of the nasal bridge abutment, its dynamics and light shielding effect Is the same as the case of wearing one string.
