Abstract

To provide a pad for a cloth mask that solves the eyeglass fogging situation without losing the original function of the cloth mask.SOLUTION: The paper pad is formed by durable water-resistant paper, including a surface obliquely folding line 5,5 on both sides and a center mark 7 in a triangle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

On cold days, we often see people wearing glasses removing their masks from their noses or putting them all on their chin in the crowd. This does not provide a sense of security, and some mask makers encourage you to be careful when driving a car, etc. by clouding your glasses.

There are various uses and ideas for cloth masks, but cloth masks are sanitary fixtures that require breathability, and in principle, they are consumables that are discarded as garbage, one sheet per day. It must be safe, inexpensive, and have its original effect.

I think there is a way to use paper as a sanitary fixture that is safe and inexpensive without impairing the original function of the cloth mask, and that the vision required by people with glasses can be secured.

The place where the paper pad 1P is interlocked and deformed is clarified by the procedure for using the cloth mask. It's a normal procedure, but there is a simple action to begin with. (B) Fold the left and right diagonal surface folding lines 5 with both fingers, hold the tip with your fingers, and fold the center mark ▽ 7 until the tips of both folding lines 5 hit. (B) Place the center mark ▽ 7 on the nose and hang the ear strap. (C) Pull the briefs of the cloth mask to your chin, align your nose and mouth with both hands so that they are even on your face, and squeeze strongly.
As mentioned above, the installation of the passive deformed paper pad 2P has been completed by the procedure of using the cloth mask. Finally, the briefs on the chin are slightly returned so as not to block the opening 3b (Fig. 2).

According to the usage procedure in the previous section, the briefs of the cloth mask are spread, and the paper pad 1P is squeezed and reduced. 2P (FIG. 2), the lower side of the deformed paper pad 2P has a semi-siphon shape following the backside folding line 6. The crossing line cut 4a beyond that is also narrowed down, and the release port 3a (FIG. 1) becomes about half of the release port 3b (FIG. 2). The left and right surface fold lines 5 are bent so that they follow the shape of the face.

A lot of nasal breath and mouth breath are discharged to the semi-siphon-shaped part of the deformed paper pad 2P and flow in the jaw direction from the release port 3b. The breath towards the glasses is reduced and the cloudiness of the glasses disappears. And there is no space around the cloth mask for inhaled breath. There is no tearing of the fabric. There is no loss of function of the cloth mask and no resistance to breathing. The danger of impairing the eyesight of people with eyeglasses and the lack of anti-sensitivity and dust protection have been resolved.
Next, I will briefly invite my 20-30 minute walking test (Sapporo).
○ Reiwa 2 ・ 2 ・ 6 (Thursday) 10: 00-6 ℃ Weak wind, metal frame Round glasses 2-3 minutes after leaving the house, it is thin and cloudy. Condensation on the lens, raising the edge of the mask to the tip of the chin. Clearness 80% No visual impairment, and raise the edge of the mask a little less than 1 cm from the tip of the chin. Immediately clear 90-100% walk for 15 minutes, no problem ○ Reiwa 2 ・ 2 ・ 8 (Sat) 13: 30-3 ℃, light wind, walk for 30 minutes Same as last time.
○ Reiwa 2 ・ 2 ・ 9 (Sun) 16: 30-8 ℃ Weak wind, 20 minutes walk Same as last time.
○ Reiwa 2.2.11 (Tue) 13:30 0 ℃ weak wind, 30 minutes walking Same as last time.
○ February 6th was the day to get on the bus and go to the hospital. In the bus and hospital, the edge of the cloth mask was put back on the chin. 100% clearness.
I didn't expect that paper would produce such an effect clearly.

The paper to be used should be durable, water resistant, etc., and the production of the paper pad 1P can be easily done by leaving it to the good processing technology.
And I think it would be good if it was a special package for people with glasses.
