Description

The present invention is easily attached to a mask that covers the wearer's nose and mouth, and scattered objects that are generated during the wearer's work and are scattered from the outside toward the wearer come into contact with the face, especially the eyes. Regarding the face cover that prevents it.

The face cover is a protective device obtained by molding a synthetic resin such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) having translucency into a sheet of a thin plate. For example, it is used in a medical field and is used by a medical worker to cover the face. By wearing it in such a manner, it protects the practitioner from contacting the practitioner's eyes and face with scattered blood, body fluids, tooth fragments, etc., while maintaining visibility.

Since the face cover itself is very light and molded into a thin sheet, there are few suitable means to attach the face cover to the face by itself, and the mask that covers the nose and mouth and the face cover are integrated. In addition, there are some that protect the face by attaching a face cover as an attachment to the main body of the mask or the strap.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an eye mask as a sheet-shaped face cover that is attached to the main body of the mask and used. Specifically, cuts that are open downward are formed near the left and right ends of the face cover that are formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the cuts of the face cover are inserted from above into the main body of the mask. By doing so, the face cover can be attached to the mask. (See Patent Document 1).

Utility Model Registration No. 3183826 (Page 2, Fig. 2)

However, in Patent Document 1, since the lower end portion of the central portion of the face cover is inserted between the main body portion of the mask and the face, the exhaled breath of the wearer is applied to the back surface of the face cover. There was a problem that they would come into contact with each other and impair the fit. Further, since the face cover described in Patent Document 1 has a mounting structure that directly contacts the wearer's face, it cannot cope with individual differences such as the height of the wearer's nose and the shape of the face, and the face. There was a problem that the cover was not versatile.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a face cover that can be easily attached and detached regardless of the wearer's face shape while maintaining a comfortable wearing feeling. And.

In order to solve the above problems, the face cover of the present invention is used.
A face cover that covers the wearer's face and is attached to a mask that includes a main body that covers the wearer's mouth and nose and a pair of hooks that extend from the left and right ends of the body and hang on the ears or head. And
A protective portion that is arranged in front of the main body portion of the mask and protects at least the eye portion of the wearer.
Each of the left and right sides of the protective portion is provided with slits that are open downward, and is characterized by having a locking portion that is sandwiched between the hanging portion of the mask and the face of the wearer.
According to this feature, by sandwiching the locking portions provided on the left and right sides of the protective portion of the face cover between the mask hanging portion and the wearer's face, the protective portion of the face cover can be used by the wearer. Since the face cover can be arranged at a position separated from the face to the outside, the face cover is less likely to be fogged and a comfortable wearing feeling can be maintained, and the face cover can be easily put on and taken off regardless of the wearer's face shape.

The locking portion is characterized in that a protruding portion extending in the vertical direction and projecting to the front side is formed.
According to this feature, since the protruding portion is formed in the locking portion, the structural strength of the locking portion is increased and bending or twisting can be suppressed, so that the locking portion is placed between the wearer's face and the hanging portion. Easy to insert into.

The protruding portion is formed so as to protrude from the rear side to the front side, and the locking portion is characterized in that it has a convex cross-sectional view.
According to this feature, since the locking portion has a convex cross-sectional view, the contact area between the locking portion and the wearer's face can be reduced when the face cover is attached, so that sweat and oil on the face can be reduced. It is easy to insert the locking part without being affected.

The protective portion is characterized by including a curved surface portion that is convexly curved toward the front side.
According to this feature, the face cover can be easily constructed only by bending one sheet.

The protective portion is characterized by including a front portion that protects the eye portion of the wearer and side surface portions that are connected to the left and right sides of the front portion.
According to this feature, it is possible to protect the wearer from scattered objects from both the front and the left and right directions.

The protective portion is further provided with an upper surface portion connected to the upper side of the front surface portion.
According to this feature, it is possible to protect the wearer from flying objects from above.

The protective portion is further provided with a lower surface portion connected to the lower side of the front surface portion.
According to this feature, it is possible to protect the wearer from flying objects from below.
Since the lower surface portion is supported in addition to the upper surface portion, the face cover can be attached more stably by the four-point support.

At least the side surface portion is characterized in that it is connected to the front surface portion via a bent portion.
According to this feature, at least the side surface portion is hidden behind the front portion by bending through the bent portion when the face cover is not used, so that the front shape of the entire face cover becomes the shape of the front portion. It is compact and easy to store and carry.

A mode for carrying out the face cover according to the present invention will be described below based on examples.

The face cover according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. Hereinafter, the vertical and horizontal directions will be described with reference to the position facing the wearer wearing the face cover as shown in FIG. 1, and the front-back direction will be described with reference to the wearer.

First, reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a face cover for preventing droplet infection to which the present invention is applied. The face cover 1 is used by being attached to a snout mask (hereinafter, simply referred to as a mask) 2 for preventing droplets containing viruses and the like from entering the oral cavity and the nose, and the droplets are also contained in the eyes. It has a function to prevent it from entering and adhering to the face.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mask 2 includes a main body 4 that covers the wearer's mouth and nose, and a pair of left and right ear hooks 5 and 5 that extend from the left and right ends of the main body 4 and are hung on the ears. And consists of.

The ear hooks 5 and 5 as the hooks constituting the mask 2 are formed in a string shape and are made of an elastic member such as rubber. One end 5a of each ear hook 5 is attached to the upper ends of the left and right ends of the main body 4, and the other end 5b is attached to the lower ends of the left and right ends of the main body 4. ing. That is, the ear hook portion 5 is formed endlessly together with the left and right end portions of the main body portion 4. As the hooking portion, instead of the ear hooking portions 5 and 5 described above, for example, the other ends of the two strings having one ends attached to the left and right ends of the main body and extending from each other are tied at the back of the head. A head hanging part to be attached may be adopted, or a head hanging part to be attached by stretching one string formed in an annular shape with one end and the other end attached to the left and right ends of the main body respectively at the back of the head. May be adopted.

The material of the main body 4 is made of a non-woven fabric made of a material such as a chemical fiber designed in consideration of strength, touch, breathability, filterability and the like. The mask 2 is a surgical mask used in a medical field or the like in this embodiment, and is a highly versatile commercial product that can be purchased at a convenience store or a drug store.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (a), the face cover 1 is made of a synthetic resin such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) having translucency, and is molded into a colorless and transparent thin sheet. The face cover 1 of this embodiment is formed by bending one sheet, and is located in front of the wearer's face when worn as a protective portion that protects the wearer's face from scattered objects. The first formed on the left and right sides of the front portion 11 with the front portion 11 covering at least the eye portion and the bent portions 1a and 1b formed in the vertical direction at the left and right side ends of the front portion 11 as boundaries. The front portion is separated from the side surface portion 12 and the second side surface portion 13 (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as the side surface portion 12 and the side surface portion 13) and the bent portion 1c formed in the left-right direction at the upper end of the front surface portion 11. Mainly from the upper surface portion 14 formed on the upper side of the front portion 11 and the lower surface portion 15 formed on the lower side of the front surface portion 11 with the bent portion 1d formed in the left-right direction at the lower end of the front surface portion 11 as a boundary. It is configured. The front surface portion 11, the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, the upper surface portion 14, and the lower surface portion 15 are each formed in a substantially flat shape, and further, the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, and the upper surface portion are formed. The portion 14 and the lower surface portion 15 are arranged so as to be inclined rearward with respect to the front portion 11, respectively, so as to cover and protect the wearer's face centering on the front portion 11.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the front surface portion 11 is formed in a symmetrical substantially hexagonal shape, and the lower side thereof is formed in a tapered shape narrowing downward. As a result, the hypotenuse portions 11a and 11b are formed between the bent portions 1a and 1b formed at both side ends of the front portion 11 and the bent portions 1d formed at the lower end of the front portion 11. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the upper surface portion 14 is formed with a concave portion 14a that is gently recessed from above to below at the upper end portion thereof to form a substantially concave shape. Further, the lower surface portion 15 is formed with a concave portion 15a that is gently recessed upward from the lower end to form a substantially concave shape at the lower end portion thereof. By forming these concave portions 14a and 15a, as shown in FIG. 1, when the face cover 1 is attached, the concave portions 14a and 15a come into contact with each other along the face of the wearer E, and the face cover 1 is formed. It is hard to shift.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the side surface portions 12 and 13 are formed so as to extend continuously from the bent portions 1a and 1b and narrow toward the outward side, and further, the side surface portions 12 and 13 are formed. Locking portions 16 and 17 are formed so as to be connected to both end portions of the above and extend downward. These locking portions 16 and 17 have lower end portions 16a and 17a extending below the side surface portions 12 and 13.

Further, a notch-shaped slit S opened downward is formed between the side surface portions 12 and 13 and the locking portions 16 and 17, respectively. As will be described later, the face cover 1 is approached from above to below the face of the wearer E wearing the mask 2, and a pair of ear hooks 5 and 5 of the mask 2 are placed in the pair of slits S and S, respectively. By inserting the locking portions 16 and 17 between the ear hook portions 5 and 5 and the face of the wearer E, the ear hook portions 5 and 5 are inserted into the locking portions 16 when the face cover 1 is attached. , 17 are pressed toward the face of the wearer E, and the face cover 1 is fixed to the face of the wearer E.

The slit S has an open end portion S0 opened at the lower end, a first gap portion S1 extending upward from the open end portion S0, and a front portion 11 side extending continuously from the first gap portion S1. It is formed of a second gap portion S2 that is bent and extended toward the surface, and a rounded back end portion S3 that is a terminal portion of the second gap portion S2. In the mask 2 of the present embodiment in which round rubber is used as the ear hooks 5 and 5, a part of the peripheral surface of the ear hook 5 is fitted to the back end S3, and the ear The hanging portion 5 can be detachably fixed in the slit S. The ear hook portion 5 fitted to the back end portion S3 is formed by forming the first gap portion S1 and the second gap portion S2 slightly narrower and the back end portion S3 having a relatively large diameter. Detachment can be suppressed.

Further, by inclining the second gap S2 toward the front surface 11 with respect to the first gap S1, deviation of the ear hooks 5 and 5 from the slit S is prevented, and the depth of the second gap S2 is prevented. The end portion S3 can be used as a mark as a fitting portion to be fitted to the ear hook portion 5. As shown in FIG. 1, when the face cover 1 is attached, the ear hook portions 5 and 5 are arranged obliquely with respect to the first gap portion S1, but are substantially orthogonal to the second gap portion S2. As a result, the displacement of the locking portions 16 and 17 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ear hook portions 5 and 5 is preferably prevented.

The locking portions 16 and 17 are formed with ribs 3 and 3 protruding from the back side to the front side, which is the side in contact with the face of the wearer E, respectively. The rib 3 is formed by pressing a flat resin sheet with a press or the like, and in this embodiment, the rib 3 extends in the vertical direction at a substantially central portion of the locking portions 16 and 17, leaving the lower end portions 16a and 17a. Two linear protrusions arranged substantially in parallel. Since the ribs 3 are formed so as to project from the back surface side to the front surface side, the locking portions 16 and 17 have a convex cross-sectional view as a whole. As a result, the locking portions 16 and 17 are less likely to be bent or twisted orthogonal to the rib 3, and the locking portions 16 and 17 can be easily inserted between the wearer's face and the ear hooks 5 and 5.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, the upper surface portion 14, and the lower surface portion 15 are bent rearward with respect to the front surface portion 11 of the face cover 1. In the state before use, the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, the upper surface portion 14, and the lower surface portion 15 are the front portions 11 with the bent portions 1a to 1d as boundaries. It is bent to the back side and polymerized. As a result, when the face cover 1 is used, the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, the upper surface portion 14 and the lower surface portion 15 projecting in the left-right direction and the vertical direction of the front portion 11 do not use the face cover 1. At times, it is hidden behind the front portion 11 by bending through the bent portions 1a to 1d, so that the front shape of the entire face cover 1 is reduced to the shape of the front portion 11 and is easy to store and carry. It has become. Further, since the material of the face cover 1 is synthetic resin, the bent portions 1a to 1d can be easily formed by making linear creases at predetermined positions.

Next, a mode in which the face cover 1 is attached will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) and FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). First, before the face cover 1 is attached, the ear hook portion 5 of the mask 2 is hung on the ear portion of the wearer E, and the mask 2 is attached. Next, as shown in FIG. 3A, the back side of the face cover 1 is gripped so as to face the face of the wearer E, and the locking portion 16 is held between the face of the wearer E and the ear hook portion 5. , 17 lower ends 16a, 17a are inserted from above. Hereinafter, since the mounting procedure of the left and right locking portions 16 and 17 is the same, only the mounting procedure of the right locking portion 17 will be described.

By lowering the face cover 1 from above and inserting the lower end portion 17a of the locking portion 17 between the face portion of the wearer E and the ear hook portion 5, the ear hook portion 5 is inserted into the ear hook portion 5 from the open end portion S0 of the slit S. The first gap S1 is inserted. As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the locking portion 17 has a convex cross-sectional view because the rib 3 is formed so as to project from the back surface side to the front surface side. When the locking portion 17 is inserted, the central side of the back surface of the locking portion 17 is separated from the face of the wearer E, and only the peripheral edge of the back surface of the locking portion 17 is in contact with the face of the wearer E (FIG. 4 (b). ), It is easy to insert the locking portion 17 between the face of the wearer E and the ear hook portion 5 at the lower end portion 17a of the locking portion 17. Further, the back end portion S3 of the second gap portion S2 is arranged in the vicinity of one end portion 5a of the ear hook portion 5, and the concave portion 14a of the upper surface portion 14 and the concave portion 15a of the lower surface portion 15 (see FIG. 2A). Is appropriately brought into contact with the face of the wearer E, the state shown in FIG. 4A is obtained, and the wearing of the face cover 1 is completed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, during the mounting of the face cover 1, the locking portion 17 is viewed in cross section because the rib 3 is formed from the back side to the front side. Although it has a convex shape, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4B, after the face cover 1 is attached, the ear hook portion 5 presses the locking portion 17 toward the face of the wearer E. Therefore, the locking portion 17 becomes substantially flat in cross-sectional view due to the pressing force of the ear hook portion 5. Further, since the rib 3 of the locking portion 12A is formed in the longitudinal direction of the locking portion 17, the pressing force of the ear hook portion 5 is transmitted over a wide range in the longitudinal direction of the locking portion 17, and is engaged. Since the entire stop portion has a substantially flat cross-sectional view and fits the face portion of the wearer E, the face cover 1 becomes difficult to move after mounting, and stability is improved.

After the face cover 1 is attached, a part of the exhaled breath of the wearer E is leaked from the back side of the face cover 1 through the mask 2. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the substantially concave tapered side 14a formed at the upper end of the upper surface portion 14 is brought into contact with the face portion of the wearer E, the upper surface portion 14 and the first side surface portion are brought into contact with each other. A gap B is formed between the 12 and the second side surface portion 13, respectively, so that the exhaled breath of the wearer E leaks from the gaps B and B. Further, since the hypotenuses 11a and 11b are formed on the front surface 11, when the substantially concave tapered side 15a formed at the lower end of the lower surface 15 is brought into contact with the face of the wearer E, A gap C is formed between the lower surface portion 15 and the first side surface portion 12 and the second side surface portion 13, respectively, so that the exhaled breath of the wearer E leaks from the gaps C and C. Further, since the front portion 11 is arranged away from the nose tip of the wearer E, air easily flows between the back surface of the face cover 1 and the face of the wearer E, and the air permeability can be improved. As described above, gaps B and B and gaps C and C are formed between the back surface of the face cover 1 and the wearer E and the face, and the air permeability on the back surface side of the face cover 1 is enhanced. As shown in a), the exhaled breath of the wearer E flows through the mask 2 along the back surface of the front portion 11, and is discharged outward from the gaps B and B and the gaps C and C. Therefore, the exhaled air of the wearer E flushes out fine water droplets that tend to adhere to the back surface of the front surface portion 11, and the exhaled air of the wearer E makes it difficult for the front surface portion 11 to become cloudy.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the front portion 11 is arranged substantially flat in front of the wearer E's face after the face cover 1 is attached, that is, the front portion 11 is substantially the same as the line-of-sight direction of the wearer E. Since the light is orthogonal to each other, the light transmitted through the front portion 11 is not diffusely reflected, and the object can be clearly seen as in the case where the face cover 1 is not attached.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, since the front portion 11 of the face cover 1 is arranged away from the face of the wearer E, even if the wearer E wears glasses, the front portion 11 thereof is arranged. The face cover 1 can be smoothly attached to the outside. Further, the face cover 1 has the face of the wearer E in a state where the slit S has been inserted into the ear hook portion 5 of the mask 2, that is, in a state where the back end portion S3 of the slit S is engaged with the ear hook portion 5. It can be slid while adjusting to an arbitrary position along the ear hook portion 5 in the front-rear direction of the. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the face cover 1 is slid forward and the back end portion S3 of the slit S reaches the one end portion 5a of the ear hook portion 5 (hereinafter referred to as the front end position), the slit S Since the back end portion S3 bites into the upper end of the side edge of the main body portion 4 connected to the one end portion 5a of the ear hook portion 5, the face cover 1 is stably supported at the front end position. Further, when the face cover 1 is arranged at the front end position, a maximum gap is formed between the back surface of the face cover 1 and the face of the wearer E, so that even when the wearer E wears glasses or the like. , The face cover 1 can be attached from the outside of the glasses.

Further, the face cover 1 is bent and polymerized on the back side of the front portion 11 in the state before use, which makes it easy to store and carry, and thus the back surface of the front portion 11. And between the bent first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, the upper surface portion 14 and the lower surface portion 15, the mask 2 alone, or in addition to the mask 2, latex gloves or nitrile gloves, hair caps, vinyl aprons. , Shoe covers, etc. can be freely combined and polymerized, and stored in a container that can contain, for example, a double-folded cover or a tubular cover, and unitized as a splash infection prevention kit. It is excellent in portability.

Further, in this embodiment, when the face cover 1 is attached as shown in FIG. 1, the front portion 11 and the lower surface portion 15 are not only the eye portion of the wearer, but also the nose portion, the mouth portion, and their surroundings. It is possible to prevent the scattered matter that is about to adhere to the mask 2 from entering the nose and mouth, but the protective portion may at least cover the eyes.

Further, the ribs 3 formed in the locking portions 16 and 17 in the above embodiment are two linear protrusions extending vertically in the longitudinal direction of the locking portion and arranged substantially in parallel, and are the locking portions. Although it has been described that it is formed in a substantially central portion of the above, the shape of the rib may be changed as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6E. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the rib 23 may have two linear protrusions arranged so as to be narrowed toward the lower end portion. Further, the number of linear protrusions is not limited to two, and as shown in FIG. 6B, ribs 33 in which three linear protrusions are arranged at equal intervals may be used.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the rib 43 may be formed by changing the left-right width of one linear protrusion to a wide width, or as shown in FIG. 6 (d), it may have an endless elliptical shape. The rib 53 formed in the above may be used. Further, as shown in FIG. 6E, the rib 63 having an outer shape along the outer edge of the locking portion 17 and being formed to be relatively large may be used.

As described above, according to the face cover 1 of the present invention, the locking portions 16 and 17 extending to the left and right sides of the first side surface portion 12 and the second side surface portion 13 are attached to the ear hook portions 5 and 5 of the mask 2. By sandwiching it between the face of the wearer E and the face of the wearer E, the front portion 11, the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, the upper surface portion 14 and the lower surface portion 15 as the protective portion of the face cover 1 are formed by the wearer. Since it can be arranged at a position separated from the face of E to the outside, the face cover 1 is less likely to be fogged and a comfortable wearing feeling can be maintained, and it can be easily attached and detached regardless of the face shape of the wearer E. Can be done.

Further, since the ribs 3 as protruding portions are formed on the locking portions 16 and 17, the structural strength of the locking portions 16 and 17 is increased, and bending and twisting can be suppressed. It is easy to insert between the wearer's face and ear hooks 5 and 5.

Further, since the locking portions 16 and 17 have a convex cross-sectional view, the contact area between the locking portions 16 and 17 and the face of the wearer E can be reduced, so that the locking portions 16 and 17 are inserted. Easy to do.

Further, since the face cover 1 includes a front surface portion 11, a first side surface portion 12, a second side surface portion 13, an upper surface portion 14 and a lower surface portion 15 as protective portions, the front surface of the wearer E, both the left and right directions, the upper side, and the lower surface portion 15 are provided. It can be protected from flying objects from below. Further, by supporting the face cover 1 at four places, up, down, left and right, centering on the front portion 11, the mounted state of the face cover 1 can be stably maintained.

Further, in the face cover 1 of the above-described embodiment, by bending one sheet, the front portion 11, the first side surface portion 12, and the second side surface portion 13 have the bent portions 1a to 1d as the boundary portions. The upper surface portion 14 and the lower surface portion 15 were formed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 1 of the face cover, as shown in FIG. 7, one sheet is attached to the peripheral surface of the face portion of the wearer E. The face cover 21 is provided with a curved surface portion 22 as a protective portion and is provided with locking portions 16 and 17 to be locked to the ear hook portions 5 and 5 of the mask 2 by being curved in a convex shape along the face cover 21. E may be protected from scattered objects.

By doing so, the face cover 21 can be easily constructed by simply bending one sheet without processing the bent portion.

The curved surface portion 22 of the face cover 21 is equivalent to the combined surface of the front surface portion 11, the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, the upper surface portion 14, and the lower surface portion 15 of the face cover 1 of the above embodiment. The face cover 21 has a sufficient protective function, and a gap is formed between the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the curved surface portion 22 with the face of the wearer E. Therefore, high breathability is ensured.

Further, the configuration of the upper surface portion 14 and the lower surface portion 15 formed on the face cover 1 of the above-described embodiment is omitted, and protection is performed as a modified example 2 of the face cover as shown in FIG. 8 (a). The portion may be a face cover 31 composed of a front surface portion 11, a first side surface portion 12, and a second side surface portion 13.

By doing so, the configuration of the face cover 31 can be simplified, and it is possible to protect the wearer E from scattered objects from both the front surface and the left and right directions.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, since the front portion 11 of the face cover 31 is arranged in contact with the nose tip of the wearer E, the upper surface portion 14 and the upper surface portion 14 of the face cover 1 of the above-described embodiment are arranged. Even if the configuration of the lower surface portion 15 is omitted, the face cover 31 becomes stable because the first side surface portion 12, the second side surface portion 13, and the front portion of the face cover 31 come into contact with the face of the wearer E. It is supported by the face of the wearer E.

Further, only the configuration of the lower surface portion 15 formed on the face cover 1 of the above-described embodiment is omitted, and as shown in FIG. 9A as a modification 3 of the face cover, the front portion 11 and the first side surface are formed.
