Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stacking mask, and more particularly to a structure of a stacking mask that is worn as a double mask by stacking it on a general mask.

Masks are widely used for various purposes such as colds, influenza, hay fever, and dust prevention, but in recent times, the spread of the new coronavirus infection has exploded, and wearing a mask is indispensable. There is no such situation.

Various types of masks are manufactured and sold for different purposes. They can be broadly classified into medical masks used in surgical operations to prevent infection, so-called surgical masks, industrial masks used in factories to prevent dust, etc. And, there are three types of household masks that are widely used for measures against colds and hay fever. Some are even used simply for the purpose of keeping warm.

By the way, as a countermeasure against infection with the new coronavirus, it is generally desired to use a high-performance mask that can be expected to cut viruses and bacteria. According to simulation results of droplet suppression by material, nonwoven masks have a suppression rate of 70%, cloth masks have a suppression rate of 35% to 45%, and urethane masks have a suppression rate of 30% to 40%.

Regarding this point, an experiment was conducted to determine the difference in infection prevention effect between high-performance masks and non-high-performance masks, and it was found that there was almost no difference between the two under normal wearing conditions. It has become clear that even high-performance masks with excellent infection prevention functions cannot exhibit any effect unless they are used correctly, that is, worn properly.

Here, wearing a mask appropriately means wearing the mask tightly on the surface of the face without gaps, and simply covering the mouth and nose is not sufficient. Therefore, when wearing a mask, it should be fitted to the face so that there are no gaps in the nose, cheeks and chin.

On the other hand, as a countermeasure against the infection of the new coronavirus, as shown in FIG. 10, there is a growing movement to wear a so-called "double mask" in which two masks a and b are worn on top of each other. Specifically, there are concerns about the infection prevention function of urethane masks and cloth masks alone, so non-woven masks, which are said to be highly effective in preventing infection, are often layered on these masks, and further infection prevention effects are expected. As a thing, some people wear two non-woven masks on top of each other.

In this regard, an experiment conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that double-layered masks and proper wearing are likely to significantly reduce the risk of contracting the novel coronavirus. The effectiveness of the mask was confirmed.

To the best of the applicant's knowledge, there is no patent document or the like disclosing these prior arts.

none

By the way, even with double masks, which are said to be effective as a countermeasure against infection with the new coronavirus, the effect of preventing infection will increase to some extent, but the effect cannot be expected to improve that much. Some experts point out that even if two masks are layered, it cannot be expected to be as effective in preventing infection as two non-woven masks, and the effect will only be improved to the extent of extra.

It is speculated that even double masks, which are expected to be effective in preventing infection, will not fully demonstrate their characteristics if they are not worn properly, and are consistent with the above-mentioned CDC experimental results. It is a thing.

Moreover, in the double mask, as shown in FIG. 10, since two masks a and b are worn one over the other, the area around the face B of the wearer A is bulky and unattractive. In particular, the lengths of the ear hooks and d of the two masks a and b are often irregular and unequal, and the portions that hang over the ears C are bent and become bulky, which is annoying for the wearer A and unattractive. .

Furthermore, if the lengths of the two ear hooks c and d are not uniform and are not equal, the ear hooks c and d will sag, and the masks a and b will not overlap exactly and will be loose. In addition to being unattractive, due to this looseness, the degree of adhesion of the inner mask b to the wearer A's face B is poor, creating a gap, and the double mask's infection prevention effect is not fully demonstrated. There was also a problem.

In addition, even if only one of the masks a or b causes ear pain due to the burden of hooking on the ear hooks c or d, when two masks a and b are worn in layers, the ear hooks c and d of both of these masks will hurt the ears. As a result, there is a problem that the ear C becomes more painful due to the increased hooking load on the ear C.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and its purpose is to effectively demonstrate the characteristics of a double mask by wearing it overlaid with a general mask, and to To provide a mask for superimposed wearing having a structure capable of obtaining a comfortable wearing feeling equivalent to that of a single mask even though it is a double mask by realizing wearing integration with a mask.

The present invention has been made as a result of various tests and studies based on the following viewpoints by the present inventors.

That is, from the results of the experiments by the various specialized institutions mentioned above, the present inventors have found that even with a high-performance mask that has an excellent infection prevention function, a double mask that is attracting attention as a countermeasure against infection with the new coronavirus. Even if it is, the fact that it cannot be sufficiently effective in preventing infection unless it is worn properly. Rather, we paid attention to the fact that the adhesion of the mask to the face by properly wearing it is important.

Specifically, in order to wear the mask properly, it must fit snugly against the surface of the face, and this requires the mask to be placed on the face with no gaps on the nose, cheeks and chin. In order to achieve this wearing state reliably and easily by anyone without individual differences, it is necessary to easily obtain the wearing state of a double mask in which two masks are worn one on top of the other. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a comfortable wearing feeling equivalent to that of a single mask while wearing a double mask.

The present inventors have completed the present invention as a result of conducting further tests and research based on the findings thus obtained.

That is, in order to achieve the above object, the overlapping mask of the present invention is a mask that is worn while being overlapped with a general mask, and comprises a mask main body covering the mouth and nose of a wearer, and a mask main body. and a pair of engaging mounting portions that extend laterally from both sides and are engaged and mounted on the ear hook portions of the general mask, and the mask body conforms to the contour of the wearer's face when worn. The engaging and wearing part is formed in a wide belt shape extending to the vicinity of the wearer's ear when worn, and its free end is engaged with the ear hook part of the general mask. It is characterized by having an insertion engagement portion that fits.

Here, the term "general mask" is a term that refers to masks that are commonly available on the market. It refers to a mask having a basic configuration consisting of ear hooks that engage both ears of a wearer (the same shall apply hereinafter throughout the specification and claims).

The following configuration is adopted as a preferred embodiment.
(1) The engaging mounting portion has a wide band-like outer peripheral contour extending rearward continuously from the upper and lower edges of the end edge portion of the mask main body portion, and the vertical width thereof is the same as the ear hook of the general mask. It is set wider than the vertical width of the part.

(2) The insertion engaging portion of the engaging mounting portion is in the form of an elongated hole extending in the vertical direction.

(3) The opening width of the long hole is set to a size that allows the ear hook portion of the general mask to pass through, and the length in the vertical direction corresponds to the vertical width of the ear hook portion of the general mask. It is set to a size that

(6) By selecting the insertion engagement state of the insertion engagement portion of the engagement mounting portion with respect to the ear hook portion of the general mask, the mask body portion can be positioned either outside or inside the general mask. It has a structure that can be superimposed on

(7) Two symmetrical constituent material sheets are joined together, and one of the constituent material sheets covers the right side of the wearer's face. The engaging mounting portion is formed continuously, and the left side portion of the mask main body, which is a portion covering the left side of the wearer's face, and the engaging mounting portion on the left side are continuous with the other constituent material sheet. formed by

(8) The outer surface of at least one of the mask body portion and the engaging mounting portion has a decorative design.

(9) The constituent material is a urethane sheet.

(10) The constituent material is a nonwoven fabric sheet.

The stacking mask of the present invention is a mask worn by stacking on a general mask, and includes a mask main body covering the mouth and nose of a wearer, and the general mask extending laterally from both sides of the mask main body. and a pair of engaging mounting portions that are engaged and mounted on the ear hook portions of the mask, and the mask main body has a shape and configuration that allows it to be worn along the contour of the wearer's face when worn,
The engaging mounting portion has a wide belt-like shape extending to the vicinity of the wearer's ear when worn, and has an inserting engaging portion at the free end portion for inserting and engaging with the ear hook portion of the general mask. , The unique effects listed below are effectively exhibited, the characteristics of the double mask are effectively exhibited, and the wearing and integration with the general mask are realized, and although it is a double mask, it is a single mask. It is possible to provide a layered wearing mask having a structure that can provide a comfortable wearing feeling equivalent to that of a mask.

(1) When worn, it takes the form of a double mask by overlapping with a general mask, and the mask main body has a shape and configuration that allows it to be worn along the contour of the wearer's face when worn. By providing a structure in which a pair of engaging attachment portions extending laterally from both sides of the main body portion are inserted into and engaged with the ear hook portions of the general mask, it is possible to integrate the mask with the general mask and realize this integration. As an additional effect of this technology, the double mask can be worn snugly (fitting to the face) without gaps on the wearer's face, that is, on the nose, cheeks and chin, significantly reducing the risk of infection with the new coronavirus. It is possible to effectively demonstrate the characteristics of the double mask that allows

The overlapping mask according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. Specifically, this overlapping mask 1 is superimposed on a general mask 10 and worn exclusively as a so-called double mask. In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when worn, the superimposed mask 1 is worn on top of a commercially available mask 10, that is, on the outside. there is

The general mask 10 is a so-called pleated non-woven fabric mask, and the constituent material is a non-woven fabric sheet, and the sheet is pleated with folds (pleats). It is configured so that it can be worn along the contour of the face B of the wearer A by being trimmed.

This non-woven fabric mask 10 has a basic configuration common to general masks, and includes a mask body portion 11 covering the mouth and nose of the wearer A, and a mask body portion 11 extending laterally from both sides of the mask body portion 11 to cover the mask wearer A. It consists of a pair of ear hooking parts 12, 12 to be hooked on both ears C, C. The ear hooking portion 12 is in the form of a ring-shaped rubber cord having both ends 12a, 12a connected and fixed to upper and lower positions of the edge portion 11a of the mask main body portion 11 with an adhesive or the like.

A non-woven fabric sheet or a urethane sheet is preferably used as a constituent material of the layered wearing mask 1 of the present invention. It is in the form of a urethane mask.

FIG. 4 shows a specific configuration of the overlapped mask 1. This overlapped mask 1 comprises a mask main body 2 and a pair of right and left engagement mounts 3,3.

The overlapped wearing mask 1 of the illustrated embodiment consists of two urethane sheets 5, 5 which are constituent material sheets having a contour shape as shown in FIG. It is formed by suturing with a suture thread or joining by heat welding along 5a. As a result, the urethane sheet 5 on one side forms the right side portion of the mask main body portion 2 and the engagement mounting portion 3 on the right side, which is a portion that covers the right side of the wearer's face B, continuously. The left side of the mask main body 2, which covers the left side of the wearer's face B, and the left engaging mounting portion 3 are continuously formed by the urethane sheet 5, and the connecting edges 5a, 5a are formed continuously. It is a symmetrical shape that is bisected by the boundary.

As shown in FIG. 4(a), when using the mask, that is, when wearing a double mask, the overlapping mask 1 is in a three-dimensional state in which the right and left sides of the mask main body 2 are curved and open. On the other hand, when the mask is not used or when the mask is stored, as shown in FIG. It is in a folded state in which it abuts on the

The mask main body 2 covers the mouth and nose of the wearer A, and has a shape and configuration that allows it to be worn along the contours of the face B of the wearer A when worn.

The mask main body 2 of the illustrated embodiment is in the form of a three-dimensional mask that conforms to the contour of the face B of the wearer A when worn. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. , to cover the wearer A's mouth, nose and chin.

The engaging mounting portions 3 extend laterally from both left and right sides of the mask main body 2 and are engaged with the ear hook portions 12, 12 of the general mask 10. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3, it has a wide belt-like shape that extends to the vicinity of the ear C of the wearer A when worn, and the insertion engaging portion that is inserted and engaged with the ear hook portion 12 of a general mask 10 at the free end portion 3a thereof. 6 is provided. By inserting and engaging the ear hooking portion 12 with the inserting engaging portion 6 provided near the ear C of the wearer A, the engaging mounting portion 3 converts the stacking mask 1 into a general mask 10 . It has a function to be superimposed and mounted integrally.

The engaging mounting portion 3 of the illustrated embodiment has a wide belt-like outer peripheral contour extending rearward continuously from the upper and lower edges of the end edge portion 2a of the mask main body 2. The vertical width _W3 of the portion 3 is set wider than the vertical width _W12 of the ear hook portion 12 of a general mask 10, as shown in FIG. It is set to gradually become narrower continuously from the upper and lower edges of the end edge portion 2a of the main body portion 2 toward the rear. As a result, as will be described later, the engaging mounting portion 3 has a function of effectively closing a gap at the end of the mask main body 11, which is likely to occur in a general mask 10. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the edge 2a of the mask main body 2 is set at a location corresponding to the edge 11a of the mask main body 11 of a general mask 10. As shown in FIG.

The insertion engaging portion 6 of the engaging mounting portion 3 is structured to effectively exhibit the engaging mounting function of the engaging mounting portion 3 . Specifically, the insertion engaging portion 6 is in the form of an elongated hole extending vertically, and in the illustrated embodiment, is an elongated hole extending linearly in the vertical direction.

The opening width W6 of the elongated hole ₆ is set to a size through which the ear hooking portion 12 of the general mask 10 can be inserted, and the vertical length _L6 is set to the ear hooking portion 12 of the general mask 10. More specifically, the size corresponding to the vertical width (hooking vertical width) _WC of the hooking portion of the ear C of the wearer A to whom the ear hook portion ₁₂ is hooked. is set to Incidentally, the vertical width W _C (the vertical width of the hooking portion) of the hooking portion is almost the same regardless of the difference in the opening width W ₁₂ of the ear hooking portion 12 of the general masks 10 of various sizes.

By setting the shape and size of the insertion engaging portion 6 as described above, the overlapping wearing mask 1 can be inserted and engaged regardless of the difference in the vertical width _W12 of the ear hook portion 12 of the general mask 10 of various sizes. The insertion engagement state between the portion 6 and the ear hook portion 12 of the general mask 10 is stably ensured, and when the ear hook portion 12 is inserted into the insertion engagement portion 6, the insertion engagement is ensured. By widening the portion 6 in the width direction, the insertion operation can be performed smoothly and easily.

Then, referring to FIG. 3 , in a state where the engaging mounting portion 3 is engaged with the ear hooking portion 12 of the general mask 10 , the ear hooking portion 12 is inserted into the engaging portion 6 of the engaging mounting portion 3 . is inserted from the inside to the outside and engaged in positioning. Specifically, in a state in which the overlapped wearing mask 1 and a general mask 10 are worn in advance on the face B of the wearer A as the double masks 1 and 10, both the left and right engagement mounting portions 3 of the overlapping wearing mask 1, The free ends 3a, 3a of 3 are grasped with the fingers of both hands and pulled rearward, that is, in the direction of the ears C, so that the mask main body 2 of the overlapping wearing mask 1 has no slack, so that the ear hooks 12 The insertion engaging portion 6 is positioned and engaged.

In this positioning engagement state of the insertion engagement portion 6 with respect to the ear hook portion 12 , the insertion engagement portion of the engagement mounting portion 3 , that is, the front inner surface and the rear outer surface of the long hole 6 are in close contact with the ear hook portion 12 . As a result, the engaging/wearing portion 3 of the mask 1 for overlapping wearing fits closely or almost closely to the cheek of the face B of the wearer A (hereinafter simply referred to as “close fit”). ) At the same time, the mask main body 2 of the superimposed mask 1 is also pressed against and integrated with the mask main body 11 of the general mask 10 on the inner side, so that the inner surface of the mask main body 11 conforms to the face B of the wearer A. , mouth, nose, cheeks and chin for a close fit without gaps.

The insertion engagement portion 6 of the engagement mounting portion 3 is configured to be able to select the insertion engagement state with respect to the ear hook portion 12 of the general mask 10 .

In other words, the insertion engaging portion 6 has a state in which the ear hook portion 12 is inserted into the insertion engaging portion 6 from the inside to the outside as in the present embodiment so as to be positioned and engaged, and an embodiment to be described later. 2, it is possible to appropriately select a state in which the ear hooking portion 12 is inserted into the insertion engaging portion 6 from the outside to the inside and is positioned and engaged. The structure is such that it can be selectively overlaid on either the outside or the inside of the general mask 10 .

In this embodiment, the overlapped wearing mask 1 is superimposed on the outside of the general mask 10, so that the problems of the general mask 10 can be effectively resolved.

Specifically, the general mask 10 is a non-woven fabric mask, and is poor in design and is not suitable for use for fashionable purposes. Therefore, by applying an arbitrary decorative design to the mask surface, specifically, at least one of the outer surface 2a of the mask main body 2 and the outer surface 3a of the engaging mounting portion 3 ( The specific design is not shown), and by superimposing it on the outside of a general non-woven fabric mask 10, it can be worn for fashionable purposes in addition to the double mask use, which is the original purpose of the present invention.

By the way, the overlapping wearing mask 1 is made of a urethane sheet, and if the wearer A is a woman, there is a high possibility that the foundation applied to the face B will adhere to the overlapping wearing mask 1. It is better to overlap the mask 1 for overlap wearing on the outside of the general mask 10 as in the embodiment.

Further, although not specifically illustrated, the insertion engaging portion 6 of the engaging mounting portion 3 is formed by pasting a reinforcing sheet on both the front and back sides or one of the front and back so that the ear hooking portion 12 of the general mask 10 can be adjusted. , 12 may be provided. By adopting such a structure, when the double mask 1, 10 is put on, which will be described later, the free end 3a of the engaging mounting portion 3 is grasped with fingers and pulled toward the rear side, that is, toward the ears C. The strength of the engaging portion 6 can be protected and reinforced.

When the superimposed mask 1 configured as described above is superimposed on the general mask 10 and worn as a double mask, first, the superimposed mask 1 is superimposed on the outside of the general mask 10. Temporarily integrate them together. In this case, while the left and right ear hooks 12, 12 of the general mask 10 are inserted from the inside of the left and right elongated holes 6, 6 of the overlapping wearing mask 1, the outer side of the mask main body 11 of the general mask 10 is inserted. The mask main body part 2 of the superimposed wearing mask 1 is superimposed on.

Subsequently, the ear hooks 12, 12 are hung on the ears C of the wearer A while covering the surface of the face B of the wearer A with the mask main body 11 inside the temporarily integrated double masks 1, 10. - 特許庁

Finally, with the double mask 1, 10 worn on the face B of the wearer A, the free ends 3a, 3a of the engaging attachment parts 3, 3 of the overlapping mask 1 are grasped with the fingers of both hands. The mask main body 2 of the superimposed mask 1 is closely fitted to the outer side of the mask main body 11 of the general mask 10 while being pulled in the direction of the side, that is, the ear C.

By the above wearing operation, the double masks 1 and 10 are attached to the face B of the wearer A so as to be tightly fitted without any gap. Specifically, by superimposing and integrating the overlapping mask 1 and the general mask 10, the mask main body 2 of the overlapping mask 1 presses the entire mask main body 11 of the general mask 10 against the surface of the face B. As a result, the mask main body 11 on the inside fits the mouth, nose and chin of the face B of the wearer A without gaps, effectively exhibiting the infection prevention effect as a double mask.

In addition, the wearing state of the double mask obtained by superimposing and integrating the overlapping mask 1 and the general mask 10 is stably maintained without any particular change in the normal state.

Furthermore, even if, for some reason 3, the tight fitting state between the mask main body 2 of the superimposed mask 1 and the mask main body 11 of the general mask 10 is loosened, causing the double masks 1 and 10 to become loose. As described above, by grasping the free end portion 3a of the engaging mounting portion 3 of the overlapping mask 1 and pulling it rearward, the mask body portion 2 and the mask body portion 11 are tightly fitted. is easily revived to obtain a valid double mask 1,10 condition.

As described in detail above, according to the overlapped wearing mask 1 of the present embodiment, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

(a) The superimposed wearing mask 1 of this embodiment takes the form of a double mask by being superimposed on a general mask 10 when worn, and the mask main body 2 conforms to the contour of the face B of the wearer A when worn. A pair of engaging mounting portions 3, 3 extending laterally from both sides of the mask main body 2 are attached to the ear hooking portions 12, 12 of the general mask 10. By providing a structure for insertion and engagement, it is possible to integrate the wearing of the mask 10 with the general mask 10, and as an additional effect of this integration, the double mask 1, 10 can be attached to the surface of the face B of the wearer A, that is, the nose. , It can be worn snugly (fitting to face B) so that there are no gaps on the cheeks and chin, and it can effectively demonstrate the characteristics of a double mask that significantly reduces the risk of infection with the new coronavirus.

(b) A pair of engaging mounting portions 3, 3 extending laterally from both sides of the mask body portion 2 are inserted into and engaged with the ear hook portions 12, 12 of the general mask 10, whereby the general mask 10 and the By realizing the integrated wearing of the double mask, it is possible to obtain a comfortable wearing feeling equivalent to that of a single mask.

In other words, in a double mask made by superimposing two general masks, as shown in FIG. In contrast to the case of a single general mask, the overlapped wearing mask 1 of the present embodiment has a pair of engaging and mounting portions 3, 3 that are larger than those of the general mask 10. Since the ear hooks 12 and 12 are integrated by being inserted and engaged with each other, the burden on the ears C of the wearer A is only the hooking burden of the ear hooks 12 of the general mask 10, just like the general mask 1. It is possible to obtain a feeling of wearing equivalent to the case of wearing a single piece.

(c) In addition, the pair of engaging mounting portions 3, 3 are inserted into and engaged with the ear hook portions 12, 12 of the general mask 10, realizing integration with the general mask 10, thereby realizing Compared to the double mask by wearing two general masks a and b shown in 10, the area around the face B is neat without being bulky and looks good, and in this respect, it is equivalent to a single mask. You can get a comfortable fit.

(d) Further, by selecting the insertion engagement state of the insertion engagement portion 6 of the engagement mounting portion 3 with respect to the ear hook portion 12 of the general mask 10, the mask main body portion 2 can be adapted to the general mask In this embodiment, the problem of the general mask 10 that is worn in layers can be appropriately solved by having a structure that can be superimposed on either the outer side or the inner side of the mask 10 .

In this embodiment, the problem of the general non-woven fabric mask 1, which is said to be unsuitable for use for fashionable purposes, is solved by utilizing the overlapping arrangement of the overlapping wearing mask 1 on the outside of the general mask 10. points can be eliminated.

That is, since the superimposed wearing mask 1 of the embodiment is a urethane mask with a rich design, by applying an arbitrary decorative design to the outer surface of the mask, by superimposing it on the outside of the non-woven fabric mask 10, it can be superimposed. In addition to the double mask use which is the original purpose of the wearing mask 1, wearing for a fashionable purpose is also possible.

Embodiment 2
5 to 7 show overlapping masks of this embodiment, in which the overlapping configuration of the double masks is reversed from that of the first embodiment.

That is, as shown in the figure, the overlapping mask 1 of the present embodiment is configured to be worn under the general marketed mask 10, that is, overlapped inside, and the overlapping mask 1 and A specific configuration of the general mask 10 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

In the present embodiment, with reference to FIG. 7, the ear hooking portion 12 is inserted into the engaging wearing portion 3 in a state where the ear hooking portion 12 of the general mask 10 is engaged and mounted. It is inserted into the engaging portion 6 from the outside to the inside for positioning engagement. Specifically, in a state in which the general mask 10 and the superimposed mask 1 are worn in advance on the face B of the wearer A as the double masks 10, 1, the free end of the engaging attachment portion 3 of the superimposed mask 1 is By grasping the portion 3a with fingers and pulling it toward the rear side, that is, in the direction of the ear C, the mask main body 2 of the overlapping wearing mask 1 is not slack, so that the insertion engaging portion 6 is attached to the ear hook portion 12. Locating engagement.

In this positioning engagement state of the insertion engaging portion 6 with respect to the ear hooking portion 12, the front side outer surface and the rear side inner surface of the insertion engaging portion 6 of the engaging mounting portion 3 are in close contact with the ear hooking portion 12 in a frictional engagement state.
