Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mask holder that enables a mask to be worn by hanging a string on the ear, and to cover or remove the mouth as appropriate by holding and moving the mask during a meal or the like.

As a countermeasure against infection with the new virus, it is required to wear a mask as much as possible even when dining with multiple people. For example, the mask has a configuration in which straps are provided on the left and right sides of a rectangular filter sheet (laminated sheet of nonwoven fabric or the like) covering the nose and mouth, and the mask is worn by hanging the left and right straps on the ears. For this reason, if you try to wear a mask as much as possible during a meal, it is complicated to remove the mask completely or remove one of the straps every time you bring a meal to your mouth, and then put the mask back on immediately after eating the meal. work will be required.

Since it is troublesome to repeatedly put on and take off the mask during a meal, it is considered to put the mask held in the hand on a position covering the nose and mouth and remove it. Patent Document 1 proposes a mask (table manners mask) with a configuration in which a filter sheet (paper or non-woven mask) is fixed to a Y-shaped paper frame in front view on the premise that it is held in the hand ( Patent Document 1 [Claim 1]). The mask disclosed in Patent Document 1 is supposed to be placed on the table when bringing food to the mouth. Since it is not specified how to place the mask, it is assumed that the mask is laid down so that the outer surface is in contact with the table.

Actual registration No. 3231542

The mask disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used separately from the mask worn by the user, and there is a problem that the mask worn by the user must be removed and stored when visiting the store. In addition, even though it is an external surface, placing the mask directly on the table poses a hygienic problem and is insufficient as an infection control measure. From now on, while using the mask worn by the user as it is, we studied an auxiliary tool that allows the mask to be detachable during dinner and allows the mask to be placed on the table without touching it while not being worn.

As a result of examination, it was found that an elastic sheet frame having a substantially rectangular opening whose lateral length is slightly narrower than the lateral length of the filter sheet of the mask and whose vertical length is slightly shorter than twice the vertical length of the filter sheet of the mask. , a pair of engaging parts and engaged parts are provided at positions sandwiching the opening in the vertical direction, and the outer frame and the inner frame are formed by folding the frame vertically in two so that the engaging parts and the engaged parts are engaged. A mask holder that is used in a state in which the upper edge of the opening is open, the mask is sandwiched between the outer frame and the inner frame so that the hanging string protrudes left and right, and the opening is closed with the filter sheet of the mask. developed. The inner frame means the frame on the side facing the user's face, and the outer frame means the frame on the side facing the outside.

The mask holder of the present invention is used by sandwiching the mask worn by the user between the outer frame and the inner frame formed by folding the frame body in two. The hooking part and the hooked part are parts that maintain a state in which the mask is sandwiched between the outer frame and the inner frame, which are configured by folding the frame body in two. hooking portion) is exemplified. The area of the opening with the mask sandwiched between the outer frame and the inner frame formed by folding the frame body in two is slightly smaller than the filter sheet of the mask. Therefore, the filter sheet can keep the upper edge free while the left and right edges and the lower edge are bound by the two outer frames and the inner frame. A user can use the mask holder by holding a part of the outer frame and the inner frame, which are formed by folding the frame in half, without touching the filter sheet.

The mask holder is used by cutting out an elastic sheet and folding it in two to form an outer frame and an inner frame. The elastic sheet can be exemplified by a paper sheet or a resin sheet having elasticity to such an extent that the outer frame and the inner frame, which are formed by folding the frame in two, can be curved along the user's face. The opening is formed by cutting the elastic sheet inside the frame. In this case, instead of cutting off the elastic sheet corresponding to the opening as a piece of scrap material, the size of the opening can be adjusted according to the size of the filter sheet of the mask if the periphery can be separated step by step. . One or both of the outer frame and the inner frame may protrude outward to form a holding piece that is gripped by the user.

Since the mask holder of the present invention is formed by cutting out an elastic sheet, the elastic sheet at the openings serves as scrap material. Therefore, the frame of the mask holder and the stand having a socket into which one or a part of both the outer frame and the inner frame can be inserted are separated, with the opening of the mask holder as the outer edge. It is preferable to cut out the mask holder and the stand from the mask holder template, which is an elastic sheet provided so as to be separable on both sides of the line. The socket of the stand is exemplified by a left-right opening that sandwiches a part of one or both of the outer frame and the inner frame (including a holding piece that protrudes outward), or a slit into which it is inserted. When the receptacle is an opening, the remnants of the receptacle or part of the remnants can be used as auxiliary legs.

With the mask holder of the present invention, the mask worn by the user can be used as it is and the mask can be freely attached and detached during dinner. The mask is stably held by sandwiching the left and right edges and the lower edge of the filter sheet between the outer frame and the inner frame of the mask holder, while deforming the nose clip on the upper edge of the filter sheet that appears at the upper edge of the opened opening. It is possible to bring the filter sheet into close contact with the user's face. Thus, even when using the mask holder of the present invention, the filter effect as a mask is sufficiently exhibited.

By using the end material of the elastic sheet forming the opening as a stand, the mask can be placed on the table while the mask is not worn without the filter sheet coming into contact with the table. Since the mask holder supported by the stand always takes a specific posture, the user can easily pick up the mask holder. Since the stand uses offcuts, there is also the advantage that the elastic sheet is not wasted. Auxiliary legs used in the stand increase the stability of the stand and eliminate the possibility that the filter sheet of the mask will come into contact with the table if the stand falls over.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereafter, it demonstrates, referring a figure for the form for implementing this invention. 1, the mask holder 1 of the present invention holds a mask 2 (see FIG. 2) provided with straps 22 on the left and right sides of a rectangular filter sheet 21 covering the nose and mouth, made of paper. The frame 11, which is a sheet, is folded in two to form an outer frame 115 and an inner frame 116, and the filter sheet 21 is sandwiched and held so that the filter sheet 21 can be seen through the opening 12 surrounded by the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116. As shown in FIG. 3, the mask holder 1 of the present embodiment is used by the user 5 holding a substantially triangular holding piece 112 projecting downward with the mask 2 sandwiched therebetween.

As shown in FIG. 4, the mask holder 1 of this example is provided as a mask holder template 4 which is a paper sheet in which a stand 3 having an opening 12 as an outer edge and a frame 11 are integrated. The frame 11 and the stand 3 are separable across a separation line 41 forming the opening 12 . The detachment line 41 has a structure in which the frame 11 and the stand 3 are easily cut but connected so that the unity of the frame 11 and the stand 3 is maintained until the mask holder 1 is used. A cut line is used.

The frame body 11 has a substantially elliptical structure elongated in the vertical direction, and the upper end is notched to form a flat, substantially pentagonal insertion piece 111 (engaging portion), and the lower end remains as it is to form a holding piece 112. A slit 113 (engaged portion) for an insertion piece to be inserted is provided at an intermediate position between the opening 12 and the opening 12 . The insertion piece slit 113 is an upwardly convex curved cut. The inserting piece 111 and the inserting piece slit 113 serve as a pair of hooking and hooking portions and are engaged when the frame 11 is folded in two to maintain the folded state of the frame 11 .

Since the frame 11 of the present example is vertically folded in half, a straight frame folding line 114 extending in the left-right direction is provided at a position sandwiching the opening 12 between the opening 12 and the middle position in the up-down direction. Thus, by folding the frame body 11 in two, the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116 having the same shape can be constructed. In the mask holder 1 of this example, the holding piece 112 is formed by projecting the lower end of the outer frame 115, and the inner frame 116 is folded forward to fold the frame 11 in two. The mask 2 is sandwiched between the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116 by, for example, applying the inner surface to the outer frame 115 and overlapping the folded inner frame 116 .

In order to bend the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116 in the present example in the left-right direction, a linear frame folding line 114 extending in the up-down direction is provided at a position sandwiching the opening 12 in the middle position in the left-right direction of the opening 12. ing. As a result, the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116 sandwiching the mask 2 are bent in the lateral direction together with the mask 2, and the gap between the filter sheet 21 seen through the opening 12 and the user's face can be made smaller. In addition, since the upper edges of the openings 12 of both the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116 of the mask 2 are open, the nose clip can be easily deformed along the user's nose.

The opening 12 in the frame 11 before being folded in half (paper pattern state) has a horizontal length that is slightly narrower than the horizontal length of the filter sheet 21 of the mask 2, and is slightly shorter than twice the vertical length of the filter sheet 21. It has a substantially rectangular shape with a vertical length. When the frame body 11 is folded in half, the opening 12 formed in the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116 opens the upper edge and has a lateral length slightly narrower than the lateral length of the filter sheet 21 of the mask 2. The vertical length is slightly shorter than the vertical length, and the rectangular shape has the same size. Therefore, when the mask 2 is sandwiched between the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116, the left and right edges and the lower edge of the filter sheet 21 are sandwiched between the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116, and most of the filter sheet 21 can be seen through the opening 12.

As shown in FIG. 5, the mask holder 1 is formed by cutting the stand 3 from the mask holder template 4 and forming the opening 12 in the frame 11 . As shown in FIG. 6, the frame 11 is folded in half along the frame folding line 114, the mask 2 is sandwiched at a position where the upper edge of the filter sheet 21 is aligned with the frame folding line 114, and the insertion piece 111 is inserted. It is completed by inserting it into the strip slit 113 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). The mask 2 can be easily positioned in the mask holder 1 by aligning the upper edge of the filter sheet 21 with the folding line 114 for the frame body and by making the amount of protrusion of the hanging cord 22 from the outer frame 115 and the inner frame 116 equal.

The stand 3 is a substantially rectangular sheet made of paper with the opening 12 of the mask holder 1 as an outer edge. The stand 3 of this example is provided with an auxiliary leg 31 that is cut and raised inside, has a folding line 34 for stand on the left and right sides of the auxiliary leg 31, and is folded in two with the folding line 34 for stand as a boundary. A leg 33 is formed. The lower end of the front leg 32 of the auxiliary leg 31 is inserted into an arc-shaped front leg slit 311 provided in the vicinity of the lower end. In this way, the stand 3 of this example maintains the front and rear legs 32 and 33 restrained via the auxiliary legs 31 in a chevron shape when viewed from the side, while the auxiliary legs 31 and the rear legs 33 are grounded, as shown in FIG. This makes it stable and independent.

When not in use, the mask holder 1 holding the mask 2 can be placed on the stand 3 in an upright state without touching the table by inserting the holding piece 112 into the socket 312 as shown in FIG. The mask holder 1 in the upright state is easy to pick up. In the stand 3 of this example, the holding piece 112 is inserted into the crossing portion formed by inserting the front leg 32 into the front leg slit 311 of the auxiliary leg 31 to stably maintain the upright state of the mask holder 1 . Since the mask holder 1 and the stand 3 of this example are made of paper sheets, the mask 2 is removed after use and disposed of as combustible waste.
