Description

  The present invention relates to a mask, and more particularly, to a mask that can be used for anti-glare, at least an upper edge portion of which is coated with a light absorbing layer.

  The mask refers to a mask covering the nose and mouth for hygiene or protection, and generally includes a work mask and a sanitary mask.

  Conventionally, masks are used to prevent dust, dust, pollen, etc. from the outside during breathing, and virus-containing secretions are widely released to the outside due to crushing and coughing of people with a cold or flu. It has the effect of making it difficult to disperse, and patients infected with colds and flu are not transmitted to others, so they are worn to prevent the spread of infection.

  On the other hand, the mask may be used for a conventional application under a dazzling environment where sunlight falls outdoors, a dazzling environment on snow, or a dazzling environment of an indoor artificial light. In such a case, an antiglare article such as sunglasses is usually used in combination with a mask for antiglare.

  However, it is cumbersome to use a mask and sunglasses and other anti-glare products together, which gives a tight feeling to the face. In addition, there is a problem that exhalation causes fogging of anti-glare products such as sunglasses by wearing a mask.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple and inexpensive anti-glare mask that can be used together with an anti-glare product such as sunglasses and can avoid the complexity and cramped feeling caused by the combined use.

In order to achieve the above object, the structure according to the present invention is as follows. That is,
[1]
An anti-glare mask in which at least the upper edge is covered with a light-absorbing layer.
[2]
The antiglare mask according to [1], wherein the light absorbing layer is a light absorbing sheet.
[3]
The antiglare mask according to [1], which is a light absorbing material to which the light absorbing layer is applied.
[4]
The antiglare mask according to any one of [1] to [3], wherein a width of the light absorbing layer is 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm.
[5]
The antiglare mask according to [2] or [4], wherein the light absorbing sheet is at least one selected from the group consisting of a light absorbing cloth, paper, and a polymer film.
[6]
The antiglare mask according to [2], [4] or [5], wherein the light absorbing sheet is freely removable from the mask body.
[7]
The antiglare mask according to [3] or [4], wherein the light absorbing material is a light absorbing paint.
[8]
The antiglare mask according to any one of [1] to [7], wherein the light absorption is derived from black.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to avoid the combined use with an anti-glare product such as sunglasses, to avoid the troublesomeness and cramped feeling due to the combined use, and to avoid the fogging of the anti-glare product due to the combined use. An anti-glare mask can be provided.

It is a figure which shows one example (flat mask) of the conventional mask. It is a figure which shows one example (three-dimensional mask) of the conventional mask. It is a figure which shows one example (anti-glare flat mask) of the anti-glare mask which concerns on this invention. It is a figure which shows one example (anti-glare three-dimensional mask) of the anti-glare mask which concerns on this invention. It is a figure which shows one example (anti-glare three-dimensional mask) of the anti-glare mask which concerns on this invention. In this example, the light absorptive sheet (2) in the present invention is detachable from the mask body (1).

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

  Conventionally, masks are generally divided into working masks and sanitary masks. Depending on the application, it can be divided into household masks, medical masks, and industrial masks. Depending on the shape, a flat mask (FIG. 1), a three-dimensional mask (FIG. 2), a pleated mask, or the like is used. Furthermore, gauze masks, non-woven fabric masks, sponge masks, nylon masks and the like are known depending on the material.

  Masks using non-woven fabrics are now mainstream and are said to be used by many hay fever patients. Gauze masks are made by overlapping cloths and stitched together with a sewing machine, and are widely used in response to the recent increase in hygiene awareness and the needs of hay fever patients. A sponge mask (strictly made of polyurethane foam) with an integrated ear hook is also called an ever mask. Nylon masks are made by covering non-woven fabrics and gauze with nylon, a chemical fiber.

  The antiglare mask of the present invention is characterized in that at least the upper edge is covered with a light absorbing layer. That is, as long as at least the upper edge portion of the conventional mask as described above is covered with a light-absorbing layer, various types of masks may be included and used for anti-glare. .

  In the present invention, the “upper edge portion” refers to an upper edge portion of the mask, that is, the edge portion near the eye when the mask is mounted. The “upper edge” refers to at least the edge on the outside air side, but may include the inner side. In the anti-glare mask according to the present invention shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, “the edge” is indicated by a hatched portion. 3 and 4 show a flat anti-glare mask and a three-dimensional anti-glare mask according to the present invention, respectively.

  The “upper edge portion” usually means a range having a substantially constant width from the upper end to the lower portion of the mask. However, the length of the upper edge portion from the upper end to the lower portion of the mask may be different depending on the location of the upper edge portion.

  The “at least the upper edge portion” includes not only those having only the upper edge portion covered with the light absorbing layer, but also those in which a wide part of the mask surface is covered with the light absorbing layer. That means. The anti-glare effect can be achieved by covering the upper edge of the almost constant width with the light-absorbing layer, but from the viewpoint of mask design, a wider part of the mask surface is covered with the light-absorbing layer. May be.

  The “light absorbing layer” in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can be coated as the antiglare mask of the present invention and is not harmful to humans. For example, the “light-absorbing layer” is formed on the mask surface by covering the mask surface with a light-absorbing sheet or applying a light-absorbing material to the mask surface.

  The width of the “light-absorbing layer” is not particularly limited, but is preferably from 0.5 cm to 3.0 cm, more preferably from 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm, from the viewpoint of the antiglare effect and reduction of the production cost of the upper edge portion. preferable.

  The “light-absorbing sheet” in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a light-absorbing property as the “light-absorbing layer” and covers the mask surface. For example, a cloth, a nonwoven fabric, paper, etc. which have a light absorptive characteristic can be mentioned. The light-absorbing property can be obtained by dyeing cloth, non-woven fabric, and paper with a dye having light-absorbing properties such as black, or by applying a light-absorbing material having light-absorbing properties such as black. Can be obtained.

  The “light-absorbing sheet” may be bonded to the mask body (1) as shown in FIG. 5, or the light-absorbing sheet (3) may be freely detached from the mask body (1). . When the light-absorbing sheet is detachable from the mask body, the “light-absorbing sheet” for anti-glare can be detached as required.

  For example, in the anti-glare mask according to the present invention shown in FIG. 5, the “light-absorbing sheet” (3) can be detached using a double-sided tape and a hook-and-loop fastener (magic tape (registered trademark)), The “light-absorbing sheet” (3) can be attached to the mask body by fixing it with an adhesive or by sewing it.

  The “light absorbing material” can be applied to a mask material such as gauze or non-woven fabric to form the “light absorbing layer”. The “light-absorbing material” is not particularly limited as long as it is not harmful to the human body. Examples thereof include black dyes that are harmless to the human body, such as activated carbon, black ink, and vegetable black dyes.

  The “light absorbing material” can be applied to “at least the upper edge portion” of the mask body by various known application methods.
