Description

The present invention relates to a cloth sanitary mask that is used for colds, hay fever, cleaning, etc., and is washed and used repeatedly.

Conventionally, as a cloth sanitary mask, one in which ear hooks are provided on both sides of a square cotton gauze is known. In such a sanitary mask, the ear hooks on both sides are worn around the wearer's left and right ears, and the cotton gauze becomes the mask body that covers the nose and mouth of the wearer's face.

Such cloth hygiene masks have traditionally been worn mainly for the purpose of preventing colds and sensations, preventing pollinosis, protecting against dust such as various viruses and house dust, and moisturizing the nasal cavity and mouth. In recent years, in order to enhance its deodorant and antibacterial action, hygiene masks using fibers made of silk thread and cotton thread (see, for example, Patent Document 1) and hygiene masks made of multiple layers of silk fabrics are used as the mask body. Masks have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2005-103201 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-116804

As mentioned above, sanitary masks using silk have been proposed in order to enhance deodorant and antibacterial effects, but silk itself is relatively expensive, and woven fabrics in which silk threads are woven together with cotton threads and silk fabrics are layered in multiple layers. The silk mask itself is relatively expensive, and there is a problem that the unit price of the obtained sanitary mask is significantly increased.

On the other hand, the deodorant and antibacterial effects of silk are possessed even by a single piece of silk cloth, and it is not always necessary to weave silk threads together with cotton threads or to stack silk fabrics in multiple layers.

An object of the present invention is to provide a relatively inexpensive sanitary mask having enhanced deodorant and antibacterial effects.

The present invention is an improvement of a sanitary mask provided with a mask body that covers the snout of the wearer and ear hooks provided at both ends of the mask body and locked to the wearer's ears.

Its characteristic structure is that the mask body is between the cotton gauze provided on the wearer side when worn, the surface woven cloth provided on the front side when worn, and the cotton gauze and the surface woven cloth. It is located with the provided silk cloth.

In this sanitary mask, the mask body is provided with a right side portion and a left side portion of a target structure to be sewn on the left and right sides, and the right side portion and the left side portion are sewn in an arc shape and worn. It is preferable that the mask body is shaped into a three-dimensional shape that sometimes bulges forward at the nose and mouth. In this case, cotton gauze, silk cloth, and surface woven cloth are laminated in this order on the right side portion and the left side portion, respectively, and the surface woven cloth is preferably harder than cotton gauze.

In addition, the length from the edge to the other end of each silk cloth sewn in the arc shape on the right side and the left side is changed from the edge to the other end sewn in the arc shape of the surface woven cloth and cotton gauze. The length from the arcuate edge to the other end of the respective surface woven fabrics on the right side and the left side is set to the arcuate edge of the cotton gauze. It can be formed longer than the length from the part to the other end, the other end of the surface woven fabric can be folded back and sewn to the other end of the cotton gauze, and the ear hook can be attached to the other end of the folded surface woven fabric. preferable.

In the sanitary mask of the present invention, when the ear hook is hung around the ear and the mask body is brought into close contact with the face, air is sucked through the mask body, and the mask body can capture and separate foreign substances in the air. It can prevent foreign substances from entering the nose and mouth. Since a silk cloth is provided between the cotton gauze and the surface woven cloth, the deodorant and antibacterial actions of the silk cloth are enhanced.

Although this silk cloth is relatively expensive, the present invention allows a single piece of silk cloth to be provided between the cotton gauze and the surface woven fabric, which is a woven fabric in which silk thread is woven together with cotton thread. It is cheaper than a woven fabric with multiple layers of silk woven fabric, and cheaper than a woven fabric with silk threads woven together with cotton threads or a conventional sanitary mask with multiple layers of silk woven fabric. It becomes a sanitary mask.

Then, when the mask body is a three-dimensional one obtained by sewing the ends of the right side portion and the left side portion in an arc shape, the edges sewn in the arc shape of the respective silk cloths in them. By making the length from the part to the other end shorter than the length from the edge to the other end sewn in the arc shape of the surface woven cloth and the cotton gauze, the silk cloth is overlapped with the same size as the cotton gauze. Compared with the conventional sanitary mask, the amount of silk cloth used can be reduced. As a result, the amount of silk cloth used is further reduced, and a more inexpensive sanitary mask can be obtained.

It is a partial cross-sectional view which shows the state which the hygiene mask in the embodiment of this invention is worn. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. It is a perspective view of the sanitary mask. It is a front view of the sanitary mask. It is a perspective view which shows the sewing of the right member and the left member. It is an exploded perspective view of the sanitary mask. It is a perspective view corresponding to FIG. 5 which shows the sewing of the right member and the left member which made the silk cloth square.

Next, a mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show the sanitary mask 10 in the present invention. In FIG. 3, the direction indicated by the arrow A1 is referred to as the front, and the opposite direction is referred to as the rear. In FIG. 4, the direction indicated by the arrow A2 is referred to as the vertical direction, and the direction indicated by the arrow A3 is referred to as the horizontal direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sanitary mask 10 of the present invention includes a mask body 11 that covers the nose N and mouth M of the wearer C when worn, and ear hooks attached to both left and right ends of the mask body 11. 31 and. As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view, the characteristic configuration is that the mask body 11 is provided with a cotton gauze 12 on the side that becomes the wearer C side when worn and a surface provided on the side that becomes the front side when worn. A woven cloth 13 and a silk cloth 14 provided between the cotton gauze 12 and the surface woven cloth 13 are provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mask main body 11 in this embodiment exemplifies a mask body 11 having a central portion thereof formed in a three-dimensional shape protruding forward. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the mask main body 11 has a right side portion 21 and a left side portion 22 provided symmetrically. The mask body 11 is formed into a three-dimensional shape in which the tip edges of the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 are sewn together in an arc shape so as to bulge forward at the nose and mouth when worn. Is shown.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 are made by stacking the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 in this order, respectively.

The cotton gauze 12 is a fabric obtained by roughly plain weaving yarns obtained by twisting sweet fibers of cotton fibers and then exposing them to a soft finish. The cotton gauze 12 is a fabric that is soft and soft to the touch, and has excellent water absorption and breathability. The cotton gauze 12 in this embodiment indicates a case where a plain weave of a relatively fine thread such as 40 count is used. However, the count of the cotton gauze 12 is not limited to this, and any cotton gauze 12 may be used.

The silk cloth 14 is a cloth woven with silk thread, and has an effect of collecting viruses such as colds and colds, pollen, house dust causing tracheitis and asthma, dust, and exhaust gas (nitrogen oxides). It is a fabric with excellent antibacterial action. As the silk cloth 14 in this embodiment, a plain weave of silk threads is used. However, the thickness of the silk threads constituting the silk cloth 14 and the number of plain weaves to be driven are any silk cloths as long as the above effects can be expected. It may be.

Further, since the surface woven fabric 13 is on the front side when worn, it is preferably a woven fabric that is harder than the cotton gauze 12 in order to maintain the three-dimensional shape. Specifically, examples of the surface woven cloth 13 include a cloth for hand towels, a cloth for sheets, and a cloth for yukata. As the surface woven fabric 13 in this embodiment, a sheet fabric which is a cotton fabric is used, and the sheet fabric is a case where a plain weave of a relatively thick yarn having a count of 24 is used.

Here, the surface woven cloth 13 is preferably a cloth that is harder than the cotton gauze 12, but the difference between whether the cloth is soft or hard is that the finer the thread count is generally softer, and the count is softer. Since the larger the number, the thinner the surface woven cloth 13, it is preferable that the surface woven cloth 13 is a plain weave of a thread having a smaller count number than the thread used for the cotton gauze 12, that is, a relatively thick thread.

However, the count of the surface woven cloth 13 and the number of threads for plain weave are not particularly limited, and the cloth is harder than the cotton gauze 12, and the three-dimensional shape of the mask body 11 is changed only to the cotton gauze 12. Anything may be used as long as it is easy to maintain in comparison.

FIG. 6 shows an exploded perspective view of the sanitary mask 10. It is assumed that the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 in this embodiment have two cotton gauze pieces 12, a single silk cloth 14, and a single surface woven cloth 13, respectively.

The cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 on the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 are formed in a fan shape such that the tip edges form an arc of the same shape and the same size, and the arcs of the tip edges coincide with each other. Stacked to do.

In this way, the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 on the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 are overlapped so that the tip arcs coincide with each other, but the lengths from the tip edge to the base end forming each arc shape. The surface woven cloth 13, the cotton gauze 12, and the silk cloth 14 are configured to be shorter in this order.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 on which the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 are overlapped are sewn with their arcuate tip edges further overlapped. Further, even on the upper and lower edges of the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 on which the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 are overlapped, they are sewn as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. NS.

The arc-shaped tip, upper edge, and lower edge are sewn together by conventional sewing means using a sewing machine. Therefore, any sewing may be used, but the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 are sewn. To show an example of sewing of the arc-shaped tip portion of the above, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the arc-shaped tip edges are overlapped and sewn so that the surface woven fabrics 13 face each other. Later, as shown in FIG. 5B, it is preferable to fold the cotton gauze 12 on the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 so as to face each other because the tip edge of each cloth is on the inside.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 are prevented from fraying when sewing the upper edge and the lower edge of the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22, respectively. Therefore, it is preferable to perform overlock stitching and then fold back to perform straight stitching.

On the other hand, the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 on the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 have different lengths from the tip edge to the base end (FIG. 6), and in this embodiment, On the right side portion 21 and the left side, the surface woven fabric 13 located on the outside when worn is the longest. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2, the base end of the surface woven fabric 13 is folded back toward the cotton gauze 12, and the base end is sewn to the base end of the cotton gauze 12. It is assumed that the ear hook 31 is attached to the base end of the folded surface woven fabric 13.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the ear hook 31 in this embodiment is a stretchable rubber cord, which is inserted through the folded base end of the surface woven fabric 13 and provided in an annular shape. The sanitary mask 10 can be worn by hanging the elastic cord around the ear of the wearer C (FIG. 1), and the mask body 11 covers the snouts N and M of the wearer C in the wearing state. It is composed of.

In the sanitary mask 10 configured in this way, the mask body 11 is formed, the cotton gauze 12 facing the mask body 11 is spread out, and the cotton gauze 12 is put on the snouts N and M of the wearer C as shown in FIG. As a result, the mask body 11 is in a worn state, and when worn, the mask body 11 has a three-dimensional shape that bulges forward in a curved shape between the upper and lower parts of the snouts N and M.

That is, in the sanitary mask 10 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the mask main body 11 has a curved tip edge protruding forward in a curved shape between the upper and lower parts as shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. When not in use, it can be folded in half with the tip of the arc-shaped sewn portion as a boundary.

When the sanitary mask 10 is worn and the mask body 11 is brought into close contact with the face, the wearer C (FIG. 1) sucks air through the mask body 11, and foreign matter in the air is sucked in the mask body 11. Can be captured and separated, and foreign substances can be prevented from entering the nose and mouth. In the sanitary mask 10 of the present invention, since the silk cloth 14 is provided between the cotton gauze 12 and the surface woven cloth 13, the deodorant and antibacterial actions of the silk cloth 14 are enhanced.

In this embodiment, since the central portion of the mask body 11 has a three-dimensional shape protruding forward, when the sanitary mask 10 is worn, as shown in FIG. 2, the nose and mouth portion N of the face of the wearer C, A space is created between the M and the mask body 11 to facilitate the breathing.

Here, since the conventionally used cotton gauze 12 that is relatively soft and soft to the touch is placed on the portion of the wearer C that comes into contact with the face, a feeling of strangeness is felt when worn, as in the case of the conventional one. It does not occur.

Since the cotton gauze 12 is relatively soft, it is difficult to maintain its shape even if the mask body 11 is sewn three-dimensionally only with the cotton gauze 12. However, in the sanitary mask 10 of the present invention, since the surface woven cloth 13 which is harder than the cotton gauze 12 is sewn three-dimensionally in a state where it is layered on the cotton gauze 12, the mask is made by the surface woven cloth 13 without damaging the touch. It is possible to maintain the three-dimensional shape of the main body 11.

Further, in the sanitary mask 10 of the present invention, as described above, a silk cloth 14 is provided between the cotton gauze 12 and the surface woven cloth 13 in the mask body 11 to enhance the deodorizing and antibacterial effects. Although the silk cloth 14 is relatively expensive, in the present invention, a single silk cloth 14 is provided between the cotton gauze 12 and the surface woven cloth 13, and the single silk cloth 14 has the silk thread together with the cotton thread. It is cheaper than the conventional woven fabrics and the conventional ones in which silk fabrics are stacked in multiple layers. As a result, it becomes an inexpensive sanitary mask as compared with a woven fabric in which silk threads are woven together with cotton threads and a conventional sanitary mask in which silk fabrics are laminated in multiple layers.

Then, in the present invention, the length L1 from the edge portion to the other end of each silk cloth 14 sewn in an arc shape on the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 is set to the length L2 of the surface woven cloth 13 and the cotton gauze 12. , L3 (Fig. 6). However, as shown in FIG. 2, if the silk cloth 14 is present in a range that creates a space between the mask body 11 and the face, the deodorant and antibacterial effects caused by the silk cloth 14 may be reduced. Since the silk cloth 14 is provided between the surface woven cloth 13 and the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14 does not come out and fray.

For this reason, it is possible to further reduce the amount of silk cloth 14 used as compared with the conventional sanitary mask in which the silk cloth 14 is laminated with the same size as the cotton gauze 12, and the reduction in the amount used makes it even cheaper. It becomes possible to obtain the sanitary mask 10.

Then, the other end of the surface woven fabric 13 was folded back and sewn to the other end of the cotton gauze 12, and the ear hook 31 made of an annular rubber cord was attached to the other end of the folded surface woven fabric 13. The sanitary mask 10 can be worn relatively easily by hanging the annular elastic cord around the ear of the wearer C, and by removing the ear hook 31 from the ear of the wearer C, from the face. The mask body 11 can be detached. And since it is a cloth mask, it can be washed and used repeatedly.

In the above-described embodiment, the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 on the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 are formed in a fan shape so that their respective tip edges form an arc shape, and the tip edges thereof. The case where the arcs are overlapped and sewn in an arc shape so as to match has been described.

However, as long as the tip edges of the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 are sewn in an arc shape and are shaped into a three-dimensional shape that bulges forward between the upper and lower parts of the nose and mouth when worn, the cotton gauze 12 and the like. It is not necessary to form all the tip edges of the silk cloth 14 and the surface woven cloth 13 in an arc shape.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, both the cotton gauze 12 and the surface woven fabric 13 are formed in a fan shape having an arc-shaped tip edge, but the silk cloth 14 sandwiched between them may be a square one. good. In this way, even if any part or all of the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 is square, the tip edges of the cotton gauze 12, the silk cloth 14, and the surface woven cloth 13 are sewn in an arc shape, and as shown in FIG. 7 (b). By turning them over, it is possible to form a three-dimensional shape that bulges forward when worn. Then, it becomes possible to prevent the fabric from fraying or the like that may occur when cutting into an arc shape.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the ear hook 31 is a stretchable rubber cord and is inserted through the folded base end of the surface woven fabric 13 to be provided in an annular shape has been described. However, this ear hook is not limited to the elastic cord, and a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric made of stretchable synthetic fibers may be used.

Further, the case where the mask main body 11 in the above-described embodiment has two cotton gauze pieces 12, a single silk cloth 14, and a single surface woven cloth 13 has been described. However, the number of cotton gauze 12, silk cloth 14, and surface woven cloth 13 is not limited to this, and may be increased or decreased as necessary. For example, in order to adjust the feel to the wearer, the number of cotton gauze 12 may be reduced from 2 to 1 or increased to 3 or 4.

Further, the case where the mask main body 11 in the above-described embodiment is formed into a three-dimensional shape by sewing the right side portion 21 and the left side portion 22 of the target structure arranged and sewn on the left and right in an arc shape has been described. However, the mask main body 11 is not limited to the one having a three-dimensional shape, and the mask main body 11 may be a flat one as long as the silk cloth 14 is provided between the cotton gauze and the surface woven cloth 13.
