  An object of the present invention is to provide a sleeping hygiene mask that has excellent usability so that it is difficult to come off during sleeping and the ears and cheeks do not hurt.

  In order to achieve the above object, the hygiene mask for sleeping of the present invention comprises a cover for covering the nose and mouth, and a continuous belt-shaped hook for turning to the back of the head, The covering part and the hooking band are formed in a ring shape by a flexible and breathable sheet as a whole, and ears for exposing the ears to the right half part and the left half part of the hooking band, respectively. The outlet hole is formed.

It is desirable that a plurality of the above-mentioned earing holes are formed in each of the right half part and the left half part of the hooking band.
Moreover, it is desirable that the above-mentioned ear hole has an elongated hole shape in the vertical direction, and the upper end portion is inclined toward the rear side of the mask.

Preferably, in the present invention, the right half of the cover and the right half of the hooking band are formed in series with the first sheet, and the left half of the cover and the left half of the hooking band The part is formed in series with the second sheet, and the joints at both ends of the first sheet and the second sheet are sewn.
Further, according to the present invention, the sheet can be stretched in both vertical and horizontal directions by being formed of a knitted fabric, and the size at the time of mounting can be adjusted by the stretchability of the sheet and the deformation of the ear hole. is there.

  In the sanitary mask of the present invention, the clasp is turned around the back of the head, so that it does not come off at bedtime unlike the ear clasp type, and there are a plurality of ears formed on the clasp. Since the ear can be put out from the ear hole in the position that matches the user's face size, it fits well on the face and the feeling of wearing is good, it may be misaligned or the ear may be painful In addition, there is no inconvenience that the hooking band is pressed against the cheek and the cheek hurts or the press mark is left on the cheek.

It is a side view which shows the state which folded the sanitary mask which concerns on this invention flatly. It is a perspective view which shows the state which expanded the sanitary mask which concerns on this invention a little. It is an AA expanded sectional view of FIG. It is a side view which shows the state which is using the sanitary mask which concerns on this invention.

  1 to 3 show an embodiment of a hygiene mask for sleeping according to the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 4, this sanitary mask 1 is composed of a cover 2 for covering the nose and the mouth, and a continuous band 3 for turning around the back of the head. Thus, the covering portion 2 and the retaining band 3 are formed so as to form a ring shape as a whole by a flexible and breathable sheet.

  Specifically, the sanitary mask 1 is formed by overlapping two sheets 4 and 5 formed in the same shape and the same size, and joining the front end portions and the rear end portions to each other by sewing. The first sheet 4 forming the right half of the sanitary mask 1 is formed into a series of a right half 2A of the cover 2 and a right half 3A of the retaining band 3, The second sheet 5 that forms the left half of the sanitary mask 1 forms the left half 2B of the cover 2 and the left half 3B of the retaining band 3 in series.

  Woolley nylon thread is used for the sewing, and the front and rear joint portions 6 and 7 are lock-sewn with the woolly nylon thread, so that a seam appears on the outer surface of the joint portions 6 and 7 and the joint portion 6 is sewn. 7 and 7 are finished so that the edges of the 7 and 7 are not frayed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first sheet 4 and the second sheet 5 have a wide vertical width on the front end side that forms the cover portion 2, and gradually narrow in a vertical direction toward the rear end side that becomes the retaining band 3. It has become.
Further, the upper edges 8 of both sheets 4 and 5 are curved in a downwardly depressed shape at the cover 2 portion, and the lower edges 9 of both sheets 4 and 5 protrude downward at the cover 2 portion. It is curved into a round shape. The upper edge 8 and the lower edge 9 are not cut and subjected to edge processing such as turning, together with the inner peripheral edge of the ear hole 10 described later. Accordingly, since there is no unevenness due to the edge processing on the edge of the mask, there is no discomfort due to the pressing of the unevenness on the face, and there is no pressure contact mark.

The front end edges of both the sheets 4 and 5, that is, the front joint 6 are curved so as to protrude forward as a whole. However, the degree of curvature is not uniform, and the upper end portion 6a covering the nose is greatly inclined backward in accordance with the inclination of the nose muscles, the intermediate portion 6b is gently inclined, and the lower end portion 6c is intermediate to fit the jaw. It is slightly larger than the portion 6b.
By forming the joint 6 in such a shape, as shown in FIG. 4, the cover 2 fits well to the nose and mouth of the face when using the sanitary mask 1, and A space G for moisture retention is formed by the intermediate portion 6b having a gentle slope.

  On the other hand, the rear end edges of the two sheets 4, 5, that is, the rear joining portion 7, has a linear shape along the user's rear head, and the vertical width thereof is the upper and lower width of the front joining portion 6. It is about ½ of the width L2.

  Ear catch holes 10 for exposing the left and right ears are formed in the retaining band 3 at positions opposed to the right half 3A and the left half 3B, respectively. As shown in FIG. 1, the ear hole 10 has an elongated hole shape in the vertical direction, and is formed in a state in which the upper end portion of the hole is inclined toward the rear side of the mask. Further, a plurality (two in the illustrated embodiment) of the ear holes 10 are formed in the right half 3A and the left half 3B of the hook band 3, respectively. 3 are arranged substantially in parallel along the front side and the rear side, and any one of them can be selectively used according to the face size of the mask user.

By forming such an earing hole 10, the ear can be exposed to the outside from the earing hole 10 when the hooking band 3 is turned to the back of the head and hooked. The ears are not pressed against the temporal region on the inside of the head. In addition, since the hook 3 is hooked to the ear, the vertical movement of the hook 3 is suppressed.
Furthermore, by selecting one of the ear holes 10 according to the size of the user's face, it is possible to adjust the feeling of tightening when wearing the mask and enhance the fit. The feeling of tightening at the time of wearing the mask can be adjusted by appropriately setting the position where the above-described ear holes 10 are formed, the interval between the ear holes, and the like.

  The sheets 4 and 5 are desirably stretchable in both vertical and horizontal directions by being formed of a knitted fabric. By forming the sanitary mask 1 using the stretchable sheets 4 and 5 in this way, the size and tightening feeling when the mask is worn are automatically and satisfactorily adjusted by the stretchability and the deformation of the ear hole 10. Is done. Further, the sanitary mask 1 can be softly and securely fitted to various face shapes by the sheets 4 and 5 being freely deformed in the vertical and horizontal directions according to the face shape. For this reason, usability is remarkably superior to conventional masks made of cotton or non-woven fabric which have poor stretchability.

As shown in FIG. 4, the sanitary mask 1 thus formed is used by covering the nose and mouth with the covering portion 2 and turning and hanging the belt-like retaining band 3 having a wide vertical width around the back of the head. To do. For this reason, unlike the ear-hanging type in which a thin ring-shaped string is hung on both ears, it does not come off at bedtime, the clasp 3 is pressed against the cheek and the cheek becomes painful, There is no inconvenience.
Moreover, since the ear can be put out from the ear hole in the position matching the user's face size among the plurality of ear holes 10 formed in the clasp 3, it fits well to the face and has a good feeling of wearing. , Ears never hurt.

  The size of the sanitary mask 1 varies depending on the size and shape of the user's face, but in an adult mask, the length L1 in the front-rear direction is usually about 230 mm in the folded state as shown in FIG. The width L2 is about 130 mm, the length L3 of the ear hole 10 is about 60 mm, and the child mask has a length L1 of about 195 mm and a vertical width L2 of about 105 mm. The length L3 is about 50 mm.

  Further, the ear holes 10 do not necessarily have to be formed on each of the sheets 4 and 5, and may be one, or the covering property of the covering portion 2 and the strength of the retaining band 3. As long as it does not interfere with the above, three or more may be formed.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, although the said 1st sheet | seat 4 and the 2nd sheet | seat 5 are formed separately and are integrally joined, both sheet | seats 4 and 5 may be a series. For example, by forming a sheet material in which the sheets 4 and 5 are integrally joined at the rear joint 7 by one sheet material, the sheets are folded into two at the rear joint 7, The rear joint 7 and the front joint 6 may be sewn.
