The present invention relates to at least a face mask capable of covering the wearer's mouth, and more particularly to a face mask capable of hanging down like a curtain to shield the wearer's mouth.

Conventionally, a sanitary mask has been used for the purpose of preventing the diffusion of droplets emitted from the wearer's mouth or the like. The hygiene mask is configured to cover the nose and mouth with the entire edge in close contact with the wearer's face.

Similar to this hygiene mask, a face mask (also referred to as a face cover or the like) is provided to cover the wearer's mouth. Such a face mask is provided to cover not only the wearer's nose and mouth but also the neck. Such a face mask is mainly used for sunburn prevention (anti-ultraviolet rays). For example, in Patent Document 1 (Utility Model Registration No. 3115938), mainly for preventing sunburn during outdoor activities such as riding a bicycle or gardening. In addition, we are proposing a face mask that can be used with any hat and is highly fashionable.

In addition, Patent Document 2 (Utility Model Registration No. 3179674) proposes a sunburn prevention face mask that prevents sunburn on the face, both ears, and the entire neck from ultraviolet rays, and does not cause discomfort during exercise and work. ing. In particular, the face mask of this document covers the face and the outer circumference of the neck below the position along the upper part of both ears from both lower eyelids when worn to prevent sunburn from ultraviolet rays, and also covers the parts located in the nostrils and mouth. It is disclosed that the space is secured without the inside contacting the said portion, the breathing is not obstructed, and the portion located in the mouth can be turned up to enable eating and drinking even when worn.

Also, for religious reasons and legal restrictions, veils are used to hide hair in some countries, and some have a face mask integrated to hide the face. And in recent years, as shown in Non-Patent Document 1 ("Belly Dance Mask Arabian Fake Cover Halloween"), it is also used as a belly dance costume.

Face masks have been provided as a product for sunburn prevention (or UV protection). Further, in Patent Document 2, it is proposed that eating and drinking can be performed even when the portion is worn by turning up the portion located in the mouth. However, in the face mask proposed in Patent Document 2, since the UV-cut processed fabric covering the mouth is formed in a substantially crescent shape, it is necessary to roll up the entire face mask when eating or drinking. That is, in the face mask proposed in Patent Document 2, the UV-cut processed fabric covering the mouth must be rolled up in its entirety, substantially like the face mask shown in Non-Patent Document 1. I had to.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to eat and drink without rolling up the entire face mask, the wearer can easily breathe, the discomfort caused by stuffiness during wearing can be eliminated, the spread of droplets can be prevented, and the wearing It is an object to provide a face mask that solves at least one of the problems of improving fashionability in the above.

In order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor, as a result of diligent studies, uses at least a curtain-shaped face mask that covers the wearer's mouth, and further divides it into left and right by making a vertical cut. And completed the present invention.

That is, in the present invention, as a face mask that solves at least one of the above-mentioned problems, a face mask that covers at least the wearer's mouth and is provided with a mask body composed of a plurality of curtain-shaped portions that hang down like a sheet. Provided is a face mask in which at least a part of all the curtain-shaped portions overlaps in the thickness direction of the curtain-shaped portions, and a slit exists between the overlapping curtain-shaped portions.

The face mask according to the present invention may at least cover the wearer's mouth. Therefore, in addition to face masks, even those designated by various names such as face guards, face covers, face veils, and neck gaiters are included as long as they can cover the mouth. The face mask may be formed so as to cover up to the neck of the wearer, or may be formed to cover the entire head or the entire face like a veil.

The face mask of the present invention includes a plurality of curtain-shaped portions that hang down like a sheet. At least one of the curtain-shaped portions shields the wearer's mouth or is deployed so as to face the mouth. Therefore, the mouth can be exposed by rolling up any of the curtain-shaped parts that hang down like a sheet. At least a part of any or all of the curtain-shaped portions overlaps in the thickness direction of the curtain-shaped portions, and there is a slit formed by a cut or a gap between the overlapping curtain-shaped portions. .. Therefore, when exposing the wearer's mouth, it is sufficient to roll up only the curtain-shaped portion that shields the mouth. Further, since the curtain-shaped portions provided with the slits overlap each other in the thickness direction (or front and back), the slits can always be kept in an unopened state. At least one of the curtain-shaped portions hangs down so as to cover the wearer's mouth. As a result, it is possible to suppress the spread of droplets in the wearer.

The face mask according to the present invention can be formed by including two or more curtain-shaped portions, and can be formed by, for example, two or three curtain-shaped portions. In particular, when having an odd number of curtain-shaped portions, one curtain-shaped portion can be present in front of the mouth, and when having an even number of curtain-shaped portions, the curtain-shaped portions are placed in front of the mouth. Overlapping parts can be present.

The curtain-shaped portion may be formed by using a cloth, a knitted fabric, a cloth containing a non-woven fabric, or a sheet made of a resin or the like. However, in order to secure the wearer's breathing, it is desirable that the curtain-shaped portion is a filter such as the cloth or a perforated sheet provided with a plurality of fine holes even if it is a resin sheet. That is, it is desirable that the curtain-shaped portion is made of a breathable material.

Further, in the plurality of curtain-shaped portions, at least one of the curtain-shaped portions may be formed of a material different from that of the other curtain-shaped portions, or may be formed of a material having different air permeability. For example, the curtain-shaped portion existing on the front side of the wearer where the mouth is present is formed by using a material with low breathability (or high breathability), and the curtain-shaped portion existing on the left and right side surface sides of the wearer is formed. It can also be formed using a highly breathable (or less breathable) material. Further, the curtain-shaped portion existing on the front side of the wearer is formed by using a highly transparent (or low-transparency) material, and the curtain-shaped portion existing on the left and right side surface sides of the wearer has low transparency (or low transparency). It can also be formed using a material (high). In addition, the curtain-shaped portions may have different thicknesses, colors, shapes, and the like.

The plurality of curtain-shaped portions are formed into a plurality of strip-shaped portions by forming one or more notches in one sheet body, and a plurality of strip-shaped or sheet-shaped portions are combined to form a plurality of strip-shaped portions. It can be a band-shaped part.

The curtain-shaped portion can be attached to the wearer's head with a band or a string. For example, the face mask further includes a band member that passes under the wearer's eyes and is worn on the head, and the curtain-shaped portion hangs down from the band member to cover the wearer's nose and mouth. Can be formed as follows. At this time, the band member can be formed into a long band or a string so that it can be connected by tying it at the back of the head, or it can be formed as an ear string that can be locked to the wearer's ear. The ear strap may be provided as a separate member on the band member.

The face mask according to the present invention can form a locking portion for holding the rolled-up state in a part or all of the plurality of curtain-shaped portions. For example, when the locking portion is provided in a curtain-shaped portion that covers the wearer's mouth, the mouth can be exposed when eating or drinking. In addition to being a hook, the locking portion can be formed by a button, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like, and can be used without limitation as long as it can hold at least the hem of the curtain-shaped portion formed in the shape of a sheet.

The face mask of the present invention includes a mask body composed of a plurality of curtain-shaped portions that hang down like a sheet, and at least a part of any or all of the curtain-shaped portions overlaps in the thickness direction of the curtain-shaped portion. ing. Since at least one of the curtain-shaped portions can be present directly facing the wearer's mouth, it is a face mask that can prevent the spread of droplets.

Further, since there is a slit between the overlapping curtain-shaped portions, the mouth can be exposed by rolling up the curtain member facing the mouth, and as a result, it is possible to eat and drink while wearing it. .. Therefore, it is possible to make a face mask that allows eating and drinking without rolling up the entire face mask. Further, since the slit is present, a face mask that can easily breathe through the slit and can eliminate discomfort such as stuffiness caused by exhalation is realized.

In particular, if at least one of the plurality of curtain-shaped parts has characteristics such as breathability different from those of the other curtain-shaped parts, the characteristics such as breathability at any part should be adjusted. Can be done. For example, if the air permeability of the curtain-shaped part facing the mouth is lowered, the diffusion of droplets can be prevented more reliably, and if the air permeability of the curtain-shaped part facing the cheek is increased, breathing can be performed. It can be done easily and can be used as a face mask that does not hold breath.

Further, when the band member to be attached to the head by passing under the eyes of the wearer is provided, the ease of attachment can be improved. In addition, if the curtain-shaped part that covers the wearer's mouth is provided with a locking portion that holds the rolled-up state, the mouth can be kept exposed, making it easy to eat and drink while wearing it. It can be carried out.
