Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device, for persons having weak skins behind the ears, relieving pain and discomfort at contact parts caused by rubber bands of a conventional mask with strings, and to provide a device being inexpensively manufactured by reducing the number of replacement components that are replaced due to sanitary inferiority such as contamination.SOLUTION: The mask is constituted of a structure integrated by attaching tubes with appropriate flexibility to the mask strings. An attaching/detaching method of a mask body comprises a method of inserting/removing retaining tools that are attached to one ends of the strings, into/from fixing holes of the mask body.

Description

    The present invention relates to a mask obtained by remodeling a part of an elastic band for the mask.

    Conventional masks are made by integrating the mask body and fiber string, or in a shape that matches the shape of the ear, and use the ear strap through an auxiliary tool that is made of urethane at the contact part with the ear. What to do has been proposed.

JP 2006-223792 A

    In the case of a conventional mask, a user who is sensitive to the skin at the back of the ear that comes into contact with the rubber strap has a drawback of causing pain or discomfort at the contact.

    In addition, when the hygiene of the mask is replaced due to dirt or the like, the mask body and the ear rubber strap are integrated, so that both of them are wasted. Furthermore, in the case of using an auxiliary tool, it takes time and effort to fit the auxiliary tool into the ear strap, and there are also disadvantages such as shifting, dropping, and loss, which are not always satisfactory.

    In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in a mask composed of a mask body and an ear strap attached to the mask body, a portion where the ear strap comes into contact with the ear is flexible. It is characterized by comprising a member.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the flexible member of the ear strap is a cylindrical or rod-like flexible member.

In the invention of claim 3, the mask main body is provided with an attachment hole for attaching an ear hook string, and an end of the ear hook string is inserted into an attachment hole provided in the mask main body, A locking member for attaching the hanging strap to the mask body is provided.

As described above, the present invention is configured such that the ear hook rubber string and the tube having moderate softness are integrated. Further, by adopting a structure in which a retaining device attached to one end of the rubber string is inserted into the fixing hole of the mask main body, it is easy to attach and detach the ear strap to the mask main body.
Since the present invention is configured as described above, by attaching a flexible member to the elastic band for the ear, even a user with sensitive skin can use it without any problem, and only the mask body can be replaced at the time of replacement. The object is to provide a mask that contributes to the reduction of the above.

It is the figure which attached the ear hook rubber string with a tube to the mask main part. It is a shape figure of a tube. The shape figure which attached the device with a retention at one end of a rubber cord.

    Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

    FIG. 1 is an assembly diagram of the present invention, and shows a form in which an ear strap 2 and a mask body 1 to which a tube having an appropriate softness is attached are combined. When an elastic cord is used as the ear strap 2, the attachment to and removal from the ear is further facilitated.

    FIG. 2 shows the shape of the tube selected as the flexible member 3, and the material is the flexible member 3 such as vinyl or silicone, and the shape is a cylindrical or rod-like material, which is moderate with little elongation. General materials are used appropriately for length, outer shape, thickness, and the like.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram in which a locking member 4 is attached to one end of the ear strap 2, and the material of the locking member 4 is generally a synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride or polypropylene.

    The present invention is a remodeled mask used by many people all over the world, and can be used with peace of mind by those who are uncomfortable or painful with conventional products. In addition, when replacing the poor hygiene of the mask, the ear straps can be used permanently, and the replacement part may be only the mask body, and a series of cost reductions can be expected. Many people are expected to use it in the future.
