Description

The present invention relates to the prevention of coronavirus.

In the Korona-ka, it is a daily life to wear a mask during conversation, but even if you wear a mask, there are not many people infected with the virus.

It is being screamed to avoid the Three Cs, but the infection situation has not subsided at all.

For this reason, restrictions on going out and behavioral restrictions have been required.

Vaccines that have antibodies to this virus are being developed, but it will take some time before the vaccines can penetrate all of them.

When it comes to restricting all people's actions, the damage to the economy will be enormous.

Nowadays, the reality is that we have no choice but to mask contact with people and avoid it as much as possible, leaving hope for vaccine development.

Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-148760

This virus has the characteristic that even if a young person is infected, there is no subjective symptom.

For this reason, it is a troublesome virus that infects contacts by acting without knowing that it is a carrier.

If you realize that you are a carrier, you can deal with it, but what you do not know is the cause of the spread of the virus.

In addition, it is also the cause of the virus spread that it is not possible to trace when, where, and from whom the infection occurred.

No matter how much the mask is worn, the virus is mixed in the breath exhaled by the carrier and leaks from the mask and spreads to the outside air and indoors.

In addition, this coronavirus is a mutating virus, and the vaccine is effective for a while, but by repeating the mutation, the effect of the current vaccine will eventually disappear, and it is expected that it will play a role with the development of a new vaccine, only the vaccine. There is a great risk to rely on.

By sterilizing the inhalation and exhaust of the breath mixed with the virus, even if the effect of the vaccine diminishes, the inhalation taken into the body is harmless, and the exhaled breath from the carrier is harmless to prevent infection. Seems to be the best.

As a preventive measure against the virus adhering to the hand, just as the virus is disinfected and killed by hand-washing alcohol disinfection, a carrier who is not aware of the infection exhales the virus-contaminated breath and air during breathing in the passage inside the mask of the present invention. By sterilizing, the breath exhaled by the carrier can be sterilized and harmless, and even if the carrier is in conversation or in close contact without knowing it, the mask of the present invention can be used to exhale from the carrier. By using a mask for the virus-contaminated air, the virus-contaminated inhalation can be sterilized and become harmless, and the risk of infection is reduced even if the carrier is in close contact with the carrier without knowing it.

It is said that it is impossible to exterminate the coronavirus, and masks and hand-washing habits have become indispensable on a daily basis. The virus is entangled and attached, and it cannot enter the lungs when breathing. Also, in order to prevent the carrier from coughing and spreading the virus, the fibers that make up the mask around the mouth entangle the virus and the outside air. The virus itself could not be disinfected and harmless because it was used so that it would not spread to the virus.

The mask of the present invention is a disinfecting sterilizing mask having a function of sterilizing a virus in the mask. Conventional masks are heavily contaminated with viruses when used for a long time, but this mask sterilizes the virus even when used for a long time, so it can be used continuously in a sterile condition. There are advantages.

In addition, the virus exhaled by the carrier is sterilized in the air passage inside the mask to make it harmless and then exhaled into the outside air or indoors, resulting in harmless exhaled breath and deterrence of infection.

An overall perspective view of the mask of the present invention as viewed from the inside. The whole perspective view which inserted the storage case containing the disinfectant which constitutes the mask of this invention. An overall perspective view of the mask of the present invention as viewed from the inside. The whole perspective view of the mask of this invention seen from the outside. The perspective view which showed the storage case mounting in the whole perspective view which saw the mask of this invention from the outside. The perspective view which showed the ventilation path in the mask of this invention. The figure which showed that the granular disinfectant was provided in the ventilation passage. It is the figure which showed the opening which a mouth hits, and the ventilation path in a mask.

FIG. 1, an overall perspective view of the present invention, which is a soft material with excellent airtightness and a mask, which has a double structure inside and outside the face, with a hollow air passage between them, and inside. The part where the mouth and nose come into contact is a hollowed-out opening 4 for breathing during breathing, and both sides of the mask are openings 5 for the entrance and exit of the exhaust and intake of breath.

The left and right ends of the mask are openings 5 at the entrance and exit of the exhaust air, and a sterilizing agent or a sterilizing device is put in a storage case 7 through the ventilation passage 8 in the mask and attached to the mask.

The mask 1 of the present invention is provided with an air passage 8 for breathing in the mask, and although it has the same shape and shape as the conventional mask, the thickness is slightly increased due to the presence of the air passage in the mask. Although it is made up of a certain mask, the size and shape such as width may be large, and the shape may differ from the figure, but it is also described as being able to be carried out without being particular about how to use the mask described below. ..

The sterilization mask of the present invention is similar in shape to the existing commercially available masks, but the surface 2 and the inner surface 3 are made of different materials, and the material of the part of the inner surface that touches the face is soft. However, fibers that are offensive to the skin are attached to airtight materials.

The part of the nose and mouth that hits the inner face is the opening 4 that connects to the ventilated air passages for inspiration and exhaust during breathing.

Mask attachment strings 6 are provided at both ends inside the mask.

The material of the outer side 2 of the double-structured mask that constitutes this mask 1 is a soft material, and it is made of a confidential material. A transparent member is also used.

The mask is composed of a front member and a member corresponding to the back face, and the upper and lower members connecting the front and back have a soft airtightness.

As described above, the gap formed between the front surface and the back surface is used as a ventilation path, and the left and right outer ends of the mask are used as the opening 5 of the ventilation path.

The case 7 containing the disinfectant and the disinfectant device can be easily inserted into the opening of the air passage.

The storage case 7 or the storage bag to be inserted into the ventilation passage opening 5 is in close contact with the periphery of the ventilation passage in the inserted state.

In addition, when the effect of the disinfectant diminishes, or when the button battery capacity of the LED germicidal lamp is exhausted and replacement is required, a storage case and storage bag that can be easily pulled out from the vent opening can be used. It is a thing.

As mentioned above, it is used as a disinfectant, a disinfectant material stored in a storage case or a storage bag, but it is installed directly in the ventilation passage or around the opening without necessarily using a storage case or a storage bag. As an integrated product, if the bactericidal effect is lost, a mask that can be disposed of each time may be used, and a mask that can sterilize breathing air in the air passage may be used.

In Example 2, it is described that catechin having a bactericidal action contained in green tea was used as a bactericidal agent.

The bactericidal agent in the storage case and storage bag is used as a solid granular or finely porous zeolite or activated carbon containing the bactericidal agent. In recent years, catechin, which is abundant in green tea, has been used. It is said to have a high bactericidal action.

Zeolites and activated carbon containing this catechin as a bactericidal agent are used.

Although it has a bactericidal effect, it is used as a bactericidal agent that can be used with peace of mind without causing any harm to humans by using the one extracted from the tea that has been taken for a long time.

Although the above is an example of using the bactericidal agent to be used, a chemical having a bactericidal effect harmless to the human body may be contained in zeolite or activated carbon and used, even if it is not necessarily the above-mentioned one.

As long as it can sterilize the air mixed with virus that flows into the air passage by containing a bactericidal agent, it is not necessarily limited to zeolite or activated carbon, and any material that can hold the bactericidal agent for a long time can be used. good.

The size of the grains of zeolite or activated carbon containing a bactericide is such that when a person breathes, when the breathing air passes through the air passage, the zeolite or activated carbon forms a sterilization filter, but the load on the lungs when breathing is small. Further, a filter of granular or powdery zeolite or activated carbon having a large bactericidal effect and an appropriate size is used.

In Example 3, a case for storing a bactericidal agent and a sterilizing device will be described.

The case for storing the disinfectant is a mesh storage case slightly smaller than the size of the solid matter contained in the inserted disinfectant.

The storage case shape consists of a plastic frame and a net as a container in the shape of a vent that fits airtightly when the case 7 is inserted into the vent 8.

The storage container may be a mesh-like container in which a solid substance containing a bactericidal agent is stored in a bag-shaped breathable fiber or the like, inserted into the air passage, and made into a bag that adheres to the air passage.

In Example 4, the bactericidal material is described as a solid substance of a granular or powdery mineral coated with a photocatalyst.

The photocatalyst coated product has a highly bactericidal action on the surface of the coating material, and the product coated on a granular or powdery solid material in the present invention is placed in the storage container described above and used as a bactericidal material.

When a photocatalyst coated material is used, the outer member constituting the mask is a transparent member.

Also, the storage case 7 is made of transparent plastic or the like.

In particular, by using a transparent member for the part where the storage case of the mask outer member 2 is accommodated, the bactericidal action is higher than that the ultraviolet rays illuminated from the outside hit the catalytic light coating.

The above describes what was put in the case and inserted in the ventilation path, but without using the storage case,
Photocatalyst coated or granular material may be sterilized as a product directly provided in the air passage. In that case, the outer member 2 uses a transparent member that allows light to pass through.

Further, it may be used as an integrated mask provided with a bactericidal agent and a bactericidal material in the ventilation path, or as a mask having an outer member as a transparent member.

In Example 5, it is described that an LED germicidal lamp is used.

LEDs that emit ultraviolet light are said to have a large bactericidal effect.

An LED lighting device incorporating an LED and a button battery is provided in a fungicide storage container to be inserted into the ventilation path of the present invention.

Further, a photocatalyst-coated granular sterilizing material may be stored together in a case incorporating this lighting lamp and used as a sterilizing air containing a virus.

As mentioned above, by providing a breath vent for inhaling and exhaling in the mask, various measures can be taken to sterilize in the vent, and the air contaminated with the virus can be sterilized in the mask. It is a sterilizing mask of the present invention that can be made harmless.
