Description

  The present invention relates to a mask covering a user's nose and mouth.

  As a mask covering the user's nose and mouth, a mask body in which a plurality of non-woven sheets are stacked in a rectangular shape, a nose grip embedded in the upper side of the mask body, and a pair attached to both sides of the mask body The thing provided with the attachment string of is proposed (patent document 1). According to the technique of this Patent Document 1, the user bends a nose grip made of a flat aluminum material according to the shape of the nose, and turns a pair of attachment strings around the ears, and wears them. The upper side of the mask body can be brought into close contact with the nose to prevent air leakage and intrusion.

  However, although the technique of Patent Document 1 can prevent leakage of air from around the upper nose of the mask body, it cannot sufficiently prevent leakage or intrusion of air from around the lower jaw. It was.

JP 2012-161370 A

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a mask capable of preventing air leakage and intrusion from around the user's nose and chin.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the mask according to the present invention includes a mask body formed of a plurality of sheets having a rectangular outer shape and air permeability, and a length of each of the mask body in the vicinity of a pair of long sides. A pair of shape-retaining members, each of which is attached to extend along the side, and having flexibility and shape retention; and a pair of attachment strings respectively attached to a pair of short sides of the mask body. Is doing ".

  Here, examples of the “sheet” include “nonwoven fabric”, “woven fabric”, and “sheet-like sponge”. The “mask body” may be a stack of sheets of the same material, or may be a stack of sheets of different materials.

  In addition, examples of the shape of the “shaped retaining member” include “wire shape” and “band plate shape”. In addition, as the material of the “shaped retaining member”, any material that can be bent freely and can be held in a bent shape may be used. “Aluminum”, “copper”, “brass”, “iron” Resin ".

  In the mask of this configuration, the mask body is oriented so that the pair of long sides to which the pair of shape retaining members are attached are the upper side and the lower side, and the shape retaining member on the upper side is matched to the shape of the user's nose. Can be attached by bending the shape-retaining member on the lower side according to the shape of the jaw and turning the attachment strings attached to the short sides on both sides around the ear.

  Accordingly, the upper side of the mask body can be brought into close contact with the periphery of the nose by the pair of shape retaining members, and the lower side of the mask body can be brought into close contact with the periphery of the jaw. Air leakage and intrusion from the surroundings can be prevented.

  In addition, since the shape-retaining members are attached to the pair of long sides of the mask body, unlike the conventional mask as in Patent Document 1, if the mask body is in a horizontally long state, the top and bottom are reversed. Can also be used. Therefore, when wearing this mask, there is no need to worry about the orientation of the mask body, and the wearing effort can be simplified.

  As described above, as an effect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a mask capable of preventing air leakage and intrusion from around the user's nose and chin.

It is a front view of the mask which is one Embodiment of this invention.

  A mask 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The mask 1 of the present embodiment has a mask body 2 formed by a plurality of sheets having a rectangular outer shape and air permeability, and extends along the long sides in the vicinity of a pair of long sides of the mask body 2. A pair of shape-retaining members 3 that are attached and have flexibility and shape-retaining properties, and a pair of attachment strings 4 that are respectively attached to a pair of short sides of the mask body 2 are provided.

  The mask body 2 is formed by sewing a plurality of sheets along the long sides in the vicinity of the pair of long sides. The mask body 2 has a bag portion 2a into which the shape-retaining member 3 is inserted by a seam by a sewing machine at each of the vicinity of the pair of long sides. The mask body 2 is folded at a plurality of locations in the extending direction of the short side so that it can be deformed three-dimensionally. The mask body 2 is formed in a size that can cover the lower part of the face including the user's nose and mouth when worn. In this embodiment, the sheet | seat which forms the mask main body 2 is a nonwoven fabric.

  The shape retaining member 3 is formed in a band plate shape and is attached by being inserted into the bag portion 2 a of the mask body 2. In the present embodiment, the shape retaining member 3 is aluminum.

  The attachment string 4 has elasticity. In the present embodiment, the attachment string 4 is a rubber string.

  Next, the usage method of the mask 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. First, the orientation of the mask main body 2 is set to an orientation in which the pair of long sides to which the pair of shape retaining members 3 are attached are the upper side and the lower side, that is, the landscape orientation. Then, the shape retaining member 3 on the upper side is bent according to the shape of the user's nose, and the shape retaining member 3 on the lower side is bent according to the shape of the jaw. Thereafter, the attachment strings 4 attached to the short sides on both sides can be attached by turning around the ears.

  As described above, according to the mask 1 of the present embodiment, the pair of shape retaining members 3 allows the upper side of the mask body 2 to be closely attached around the nose and the lower side of the mask body 2 is closely attached to the periphery of the jaw. It is possible to prevent leakage and intrusion of air from around the user's nose and chin.

  Further, since the shape retaining member 3 is attached to each of the pair of long sides of the mask main body 2, unlike the conventional mask attached only to one long side, the mask main body 2 may be in a state of being horizontally long. For example, it can be used even if it is turned upside down. Therefore, when the mask 1 is mounted, there is no need to worry about the orientation of the mask body 2, and the mounting effort can be simplified.

  Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements and design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the shape-retaining member 3 is a strip-shaped member, but is not limited thereto, and may be a wire-shaped member. Moreover, although aluminum was shown as a material of the shape-retaining member 3, the material is not limited to this, and may be a material such as copper, brass, iron, resin, or the like.
