The present invention relates to a mask in which the main body of the mask is provided with a length adjusting member capable of adjusting the length of the ear hook portion, and the feeling of close contact and the convenience of wearing are greatly improved.

In recent years, along with the dust generated in the country, the amount of dust flowing into the country is increasing due to the increase in combustion of fossil fuels in response to the industrialization of China. Dust contains large amounts of toxic compounds and heavy metals and is known to cause diseases such as heart attack, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and lung cancer when inhaled by humans. According to one study, dust causes premature death and lung-related illness in more than 20,000 people annually in the metropolitan area alone. Wearing a mask is a method for blocking the inflow of such dust into the human body.

The mask consists of a main body that covers the wearer's nose and the periphery of the mouth, an ear hook, and a nose that prevents external air from flowing into the nose. The main body of the mask for blocking dust can include an electrostatic filter capable of blocking dust. The ear hooks are generally made of elastic threads and may include a length adjuster to provide convenience to the wearer. Generally, an iron core or aluminum coated with a synthetic resin is used for the nose, and a sponge can be applied to the inner surface in order to further improve the adhesion. The conventional mask is worn on the ear by reducing the elastic thread of the ear hook to increase the elongation rate in order to maintain close contact so that the mask wearer does not leak to the part outside the mask when breathing. In this case, it is common that the main body is brought into close contact with the facial part due to the property of restoring elasticity.

However, the face size of the mask wearer varies greatly, and when the elastic thread is small, the high tension applied to the ear strap may cause ear pain or crampedness when wearing the mask. In addition, when a wearer with a small face wears a mask, it may be exposed to dust because it loosens and does not adhere to the face portion. In order to solve such a problem, a mask having a separate length adjusting device consisting of a stopper and a string tightening has been put on the market.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the embodiment of the present invention, the mask body is provided with a length adjusting member capable of adjusting the length of the ear hook, and the mask is provided with greatly improved adhesion and convenience of wearing. offer.

Further, in the mask according to the embodiment of the present invention, the length adjustment of the ear hook portion 30 can be easily operated with one hand. Further, in the mask according to the embodiment of the present invention, the annular ear hook portion 30 is not cut by the length adjusting force of the ear hook portion 30 and the frictional force with the ring portion 22 while wearing the mask.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram according to a preferred first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the mask according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a mask body 10 that is in close contact with the wearer's face, ear hooks 30 that are symmetrically provided on both side surfaces of the mask body 10, and ear hooks 30. Includes a length adjusting member 20 for adjusting the length of the.

Specifically, the mask body 10 matches the wearer's face so as to be in close contact with the wearer's face. The mask body 10 can be manufactured from a non-woven fabric. The mask body 10 can cover the wearer's respiratory organs, the nose and mouth. The mask body 10 is provided with a nose portion 11 that is in close contact with the wearer's nose portion.

The mask body 10 includes an outer skin non-woven fabric, an endothelial non-woven fabric, and a filter portion. The non-woven fabric of the outer skin and the non-woven fabric of the endothelial may be made of a material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyolefin, polyethylene terephthalate, or a thermoplastic resin such as nylon. The filter unit is composed of a melt blow filter having an electrostatic function, a nanofilter to which nanofibers are applied, and the like, and can block dust.

The nose portion 11 may be at least one or more of aluminum, an iron core, an iron core coated with a synthetic resin, and a sponge.

The left and right sides of the mask body 10 are provided with ear hooks 30 that can be hung on both ears of the wearer. The ear hook portion 30 is made of polyurethane, nylon, rubber, or the like, and may be an elastic thread (thread) having elasticity. Of course, the ear hook portion 30 is symmetrically configured on the left and right sides of the mask body 10 so as to be hung on both ears of the wearer. The ear hook portion 30 is configured in an annular shape that can be hung on the wearer's ear.

The length adjusting member 20 is composed of a ring portion 22 and a length adjusting portion 21. Specifically, the ring portion 22 can be provided in various forms at one end of the side edge portion of the mask body 10. The ring portion 22 may be a cylinder with an empty space so that one end of the ear hook portion 30 can pass through.

In the length adjusting portion 21, one end of the ear hook 30 is fixed to the side edge of the mask body 10, and the other end of the ear hook 30 is fitted inside the lower portion of the ring 22. It is a portion of the ear hook portion 30 that passes through the ring portion 22 and is pulled out from the inside of the ring portion 22 when connected to the side edge portion of the mask main body 10 after being taken out through the upper portion of the ring portion 22.

Therefore, if the length adjusting portion 21 is pulled while the ear hook portion 30 is hung on the wearer's ear, the length of the ear hook portion 30 is equal to the length of the length adjusting portion 21 pulled out through the ring portion 22. Is reduced, and the length of the length adjusting portion 21 is adjusted to fit the wearer's ear.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram according to a preferred second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, both ends of the ear hook portion 30 can be attached to the side edge portion of the mask body 10 by the attachment member 31. For example, the adhesive member 31 can adhere both ends of the ear hook portion 30 to the mask body 10 by ultrasonic welding. In this way, the adhesive member 31 serves to firmly fix both ends of the ear hook portion 30 to the mask body 10. Of course, both ends of the ear hook portion 30 can be immediately attached to the mask body 10 without the attachment member 31. In addition, it can be attached to the mask body 10 in various forms. The ring portion 22 can be immediately attached to the side edge portion of the mask body 10 or can be attached by the fixing member 23. Further, the ring portion 22 may be integrated with the mask main body 10.

As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the ear hook portion 30 is fixed to the mask main body 10 via the adhesive member 31, and the wearer pulls the length adjusting portion 21 to the wearer's face. Even if the length is adjusted to fit, the force is dispersed, and the problem that the ear hook portion 30 is cut during wearing and the wearer's face is exposed to dust does not occur as in the conventional mask.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram according to a preferred third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the ring portion 22 may be made of the same non-woven fabric as the material of the mask body 10 extending from the side end of the mask body 10. When the ring portion 22 is made of the same non-woven fabric material as the mask main body 10, the mask can be worn without a feeling of refusal. When the ring portion 22 is a non-woven fabric, even after the length adjusting portion 21 is pulled to adjust the length of the ear hook portion 30 so as to fit the wearer's ear, the length adjusting portion 21 is rubbed by the non-woven fabric itself. Can be maintained as it is without slipping and the length of the ear hook 30 is adjusted.

As described above, since the third embodiment of the present invention has the ring portion 22 made of the non-woven fabric extending from the mask main body 10, the ear hook can be easily hooked without the provision of a separate length adjusting device for the ear hook portion 30. The length of the portion 30 can be adjusted.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram according to a preferred fourth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the inside of the ring portion 22 through which one side end of the ear hook portion 30 passes can be formed of a friction surface 221. For example, the friction surface 221 may be embossed. Embossing can be configured by crimping with various forms of pins. Such an embossing friction surface 221 can increase the frictional force with the ear hook portion 30 and prevent the elastic thread of the length adjusting portion 21 from slipping by adjusting the length after wearing. The inner skin and outer skin of the non-woven fabric used for the mask body 10 may be made of a material made of thermoplastic fibers.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram according to a preferred fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the ear hook portion 30 has an annular shape connected to one, and may have a structure in which one end is connected to the side edge portion of the mask main body 10. One end of the ear hook 30 can be connected to or immediately connected to the mask body 10 by an adhesive member.

Next, the operation of the mask according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The mask is worn by hanging the ear hook 30 on one side on one ear of the wearer and hanging the ear hook 30 on the other side on the ear on the opposite side of the wearer. Next, the length adjusting portion 21 configured symmetrically with one hand is pulled to adjust the length of the ear hook portion 30 so as to fit the wearer's ear.

At this time, since the pulled length adjusting portion 21 maintains the tension state pulled by the frictional force inside the ring portion 22, there is no concern that the ear hook portion 30 will loosen. Further, if the length adjusting portion 21 is pulled, no force is immediately applied to the ear hook portion 30 when adjusting the length of the ear hook portion 30, and the ear hook portion 30 is applied to the ear hook portion 30 while passing through the ring portion 22. Since the applied force is dispersed, the problem that the ear hook portion 30 is cut can be prevented.

As described above, since the length of the ear hook can be adjusted with only one hand in the mask according to the embodiment of the present invention, the ear hook is provided with a separate device such as a stopper or a string tightening as in the conventional case. After wearing the mask, when adjusting the length of the ear hook, it is not possible to adjust the length of the ear hook with only one hand, and it is possible to eliminate the trouble of having to adjust the length with both hands.

Further, the mask according to the embodiment of the present invention has an advantage that it is not necessary to separately manufacture auxiliary materials such as a stopper and a string tightening at the time of manufacturing the mask in order to manufacture a separate ear hook adjusting device.

In addition, since it is necessary to manufacture a separate device that can adjust the length of the ear hook, the conventional mask has a problem that it is practically difficult to apply it due to the problem of an increase in the manufacturing unit price when manufacturing a disposable non-woven fabric. However, since the mask according to the embodiment of the present invention does not manufacture a separate device, such a problem can be solved.

Further, in the conventional mask, when the ring made before the mask is manufactured is hung on the length adjusting portions formed on both side surfaces of the mask body, the adhesive area of the ear hook string in the ring is small, and it is elastic at the time of length adjustment. Since the distribution of the force applied to the thread is small, the ear hook string often breaks due to the pulling force when adjusting the length and the frictional force between the ring formed on the side surface of the mask. , Such a problem can be solved.

Therefore, in the mask according to the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the ear hook can be adjusted by simply pulling the length adjusting portions provided on both sides of the mask body without a separate length adjusting device, and the length of the ear hook can be adjusted with only one hand. It is possible to provide a mask having excellent adhesion and convenient to wear, in which the length of the ear hook can be easily adjusted by pulling the length adjusting portion.
