This will be described with reference to FIG. 2, with the wearer's head direction as the upward direction.
In the pleated household mask 1, ear hook rubber joints 3 are provided adjacent to the upper ends of the left and right side edges of the mask 1, and only the ear hook rubber joints 3 are provided with one ear hook on each side. Rubber 2 is provided.
The ear hook rubber 2 is joined in close proximity to both ends of one ear hook rubber 2 at a portion above the upper edge 8 of the non-woven fabric of the mask 1 within the range of the ear hook rubber joint portion 3. Each of them forms a ring 6 to be worn on the ear in a symmetrical form.
Whereas the conventional ear hook rubber 2 is joined at the upper and lower ends of the mask one by one at the left and right ends to form a ring 6 to be worn on the ear in a form connected vertically, the present invention has an upper portion. It is a completely new form that forms a ring 6 that is attached to the ear in a form that is connected only by itself.
Since the ear hook rubber 2 is symmetrical, the following description will be described on the right side.

This will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The ear hook rubber 2 so far is slightly inclined downward from the ear to the nose, but in the present invention, since the upper part of the ear hook rubber joint 3 is above the upper edge 8 of the non-woven fabric of the mask, the ear hook The rubber 2 becomes more horizontal, the sense of stability in the nose portion of the nose fitter 5 is increased, and the pleated household mask 1 does not move at all even if the mouth is moved greatly.

The ear hook rubber joint 3 is provided adjacent to the upper end of the right edge of the pleated household mask 1, and is in a state where 1 cm or more protrudes to the right outside of the mask 1 in the upward direction. A portion of the mask 1 protruding upward by 1 cm or more from the upper edge 8 of the non-woven fabric is provided. It is most preferable to provide the ear hook rubber 2 on the portion that protrudes upward by 1 cm or more. Therefore, since it is sufficient that there is a convex protruding portion for joining, an irregular trapezoid or a rectangle may be used, and the shape is not particularly limited. Further, it is preferable that the upper side portion of the ear hook rubber joint portion 3 is cut diagonally upward to the right so as not to cover the outer corner of the eye.

When the lower part of the mask 1 is pulled down and the pleats 4 are spread out to cover the chin as needed during meals, the cheek space is narrowed and the infection prevention effect is sufficient. However, the main object of the present invention is to eat, and it is not preferable to use the mask in a state where the pleats 4 of the mask are contracted except for meals.

The ear hook rubber 2 set in the ear hook rubber joint 3 is a single string connected to the left and right through the back of the head. The form may be used, and the form of the ear hook rubber joint portion 3 of the present invention can also be applied to a "flat type" or a "three-dimensional type" of a household mask.

The desirable state when eating out is to prevent the virus from being infected, and to prevent the virus from being infected, it is recommended to put one of the rubber on the ear of the mask on each bite and remove it at the time of eating out.
However, in reality, such a state is not seen at the time of a dinner with several people, and in most cases, the mask is left removed. On the other hand, when eating alone, it is often seen that the mask is slid down greatly for each bite and the mask is returned immediately. In other words, there is no problem because when you are alone, you are cautiously aware of the risk of virus infection, but it is an urgent issue to provide a mask that can be easily worn and talked to by several people and has an infection control effect. ing. In order to solve this problem, the pleated household mask 1 of the present invention has a new form of the ear hook rubber 2 of the mask currently on the market, and is easy to manufacture and can be used as a disposable sensation. offer.
