Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an eye mask, and more particularly, to a sleep eye mask worn during sleep.

(B) Conventional Technology Conventionally, eye masks for sleep, that is, light-shielding masks for sleep, are
For example, a cloth or the like is formed in a band shape in a length covering both eyes, the cloth is used on the front side, and a black cloth or the like is overlapped on the back side so that the light shielding member does not come into direct contact with the eyes. The nose pad is filled with padding, the front and back edges of the pad are sewn, and ears or other strings are attached to both ends.

In such an eye mask, the light-shielding portions are located on both eyes when sleeping and the ear straps are hung on the ears, and the position of the light-shielding member is located on both eyes to shield both eyes so that the subject can sleep well. in use.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional eye mask of this type, the light shielding member is sewn on and integrated with the back side of the front side member such as cloth to form almost complete light shielding. Therefore, it is not possible to adjust the brightness at bedtime to your liking, which is a problem.

Further, the eye mask is produced by stacking the molded front side member and the light shielding member, putting the padding on the nose pad, etc., and sewing the eye mask. It takes a lot of time, and it costs a lot of money,
This is a problem because it becomes relatively expensive.

The present invention aims to solve the problems associated with the light-shielding properties and manufacturing of conventional eye masks.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention aims to provide an eye mask having a shape and a structure that can be manufactured at low cost, with the kind of material required for manufacturing, time and labor required.

According to the present invention, a fold line is formed in a central portion of a first side portion of a fiber member, and a folded-back portion is formed as a forehead support piece extending outwardly from the fold line, and the fold line portion is formed on the first side portion. On the other hand, an inwardly-folded fold is formed at the center of the second side portion of the strip-shaped fiber member on the opposite side, and each of the folds has an edge extending downward from the center of the inwardly-folded fold. The eye mask is characterized in that the folded-back portion is formed as a nose pad portion by extending outward from.

In the present invention, the fibrous member is formed by cutting a material such as a laminate of a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric, a metal foil such as paper or aluminum, and a paper or a synthetic resin film into a spectacle-shaped band such as goggles.

In the present invention, the first side of the eye mask is the side that contacts the forehead, and when the eye mask of the present invention is worn,
It is formed in a shape that does not create a gap between the forehead side and the eye mask. For example, a mountain-shaped folded-back piece can be provided at the center of the side shape on the forehead side of a conventional eye mask.

In the present invention, the second side of the eye mask is the side that contacts the nose and both cheekbones. When the eyemask of the present invention is worn, the second side is in contact with the nose and both cheekbones and the buccal side and the eyemask. It is formed in a shape that does not create a gap between them. For example, in the center of the side shape of the lower side of the conventional eye mask, further, for example, a crease that is recessed in a mountain shape is provided inside, and folding back is performed with the center of the crease recessed in a mountain shape, that is, the top of the mountain shape as a boundary. The pieces may be formed by individually extending from the chevron sides of the folds.

In the present invention, both the folding part piece provided on the forehead side of the eye mask, that is, the central part of the upper side part and the folding part piece provided on the central part of the lower side part shield the light from the central part when the eye mask is worn. It is something to do. In particular, in the present invention, the upper folded-back piece may have a bulge in the center of the upper side so that the eye mask does not come into direct contact with the eyes.

In the present invention, the shading of the eye mask is adjusted by adjusting the back side of the fiber member of the eye mask to a metal foil such as a non-woven fabric, woven fabric, paper or aluminum foil, which is colored in a light absorbing color such as black, or paper or It can be performed by disposing a light shielding material such as a laminated body of synthetic resin films. In this case, the end portion of the light shielding member can be sandwiched in the folded region of the folded portion piece so that the light shielding member can be placed at a predetermined position on the back portion of the eye mask.

In the present invention, an ear hook is provided to position the eye mask above the eye. For example, if a vertically long slot is formed in the left and right extension parts of the eye mask as the ear hook,
It is preferable because it can be formed simultaneously at the time of cutting.

(E) Action In the mask of the present invention, the folding member is formed at the central portion of the first side portion of the fiber member so as to extend outward from the fold line to form the folding portion as a forehead rest, and the central portion of the second side portion. Each of the parts has an edge extending downward from a mountain-shaped top of a fold that is formed inwardly, for example, a mountain-shaped depression, and extends outward from each of the folds to form a folded-back portion as a nose pad piece. Therefore, the type of raw material can be reduced, and the die material produced by cutting or punching can be used as the eye mask and the eye mask. Can be manufactured.

Further, according to the present invention, when the eye mask is worn, the number of light blocking members to be used is adjusted and attached to the back of the eye mask, so that the darkness due to the light blocking can be set to a desired degree.

(F) Examples Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following descriptions and examples.

FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view of an embodiment of the eye mask of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows one of the light shielding members used in the embodiment shown in FIG.

The eye mask 1 of this embodiment is formed by cutting a non-woven fabric into the shape shown in FIG. In this cutting, the eye mask 1 is formed into a predetermined shape, and the right and left side portions 2 and 3 are also formed with the same number of vertically elongated slots 4 for ear hooking.
In this example, the central portion 6 of the upper side portion 5 is formed so as to rise higher than the surroundings, and the central portion 7 of the central portion 6 is a portion that comes into contact with the forehead above the nasal ridge line when worn, A fold line 8 is formed extending leftward and rightward around the portion 7. The crescent-shaped circular portion 9 formed on the outer side of the fold line 8 is a folded-back portion that is bent to the back side of FIG. 1 when worn.

In the present example, the central portion 11 of the lower side portion 10 is formed with a mountain-shaped fold line 12 projecting upward, with its top portion 13 positioned below the central portion 7 of the upper side portion 5. .

This chevron-shaped fold 12 has a folded-back portion 16 having rounded bottoms on fold sides 14 and 15 on both sides of its top portion 13, respectively.
And 17 are formed. Central edges 18 and 19 of the folded-back portions 16 and 17 are located on a downward extension line of the central portion 7 of the upper side portion 5. In this example, in order to facilitate the folding of the folded portions 16 and 17, the edges of the folded portions are slightly extended from the top of the fold 12 to the fold sides 14 and 15.
Connected to 18 and 19, a cut 13 'is formed.

The top portion 13 of the fold 12 is located on the ridge of the nasal bone when the eye mask 1 of the present example is worn, and the folded portion 16
Reference numerals 17 and 17 prevent the eye mask 1 from slipping off when wearing the eye mask 1 and prevent light from entering from both sides of the nose.

In this example, curved portions 20 and 21 projecting downward are formed on both sides of the fold line 12.

Since this example is configured as described above, the folded-back portions 9, 16 and 17 are folded inward (backward direction in FIG. 1) to form an eye mask, and the folded-back portion 9 is applied to the forehead. And 17 are applied to both the left and right sides of the nose, and the long holes 4 for ear hooking on the left and right side portions 2 and 3 are hooked on the ears and worn.

The light shielding member 22 used in this example is formed by cutting a non-woven fabric colored in a color such as black.

The upper side portion 23 of the light shielding member 22 is formed in a shape that matches the upper side portion 5 of the eye mask 1. On the lower side portion 24 of the light shielding member 22, a substantially mountain-shaped recess 25 that is recessed inward is formed in a central portion 25, and on both sides of the recess 25, the curved portions 20 and 21 of the eye mask 1 are formed. Similar to the curved part that protrudes downward
26 and 27 are formed.

The light shielding member 22 is supported on the eye mask 1 by inserting the upper central portion 28 of the light shielding member 22 between the upper folded portion 9 and the upper side central portion 6 of the eye mask by folding the upper folded portion 9 of the eye mask 1. The inner edge portion 29 of the curved portion 26 and the inner edge portion 30 of the curved portion 27 which are sandwiched between the eye mask 1 and the lower folded-back portion 16 of the eye mask 1 and
17 and the fold sides 14 and 15 of the curved portions 20 and 21 of the eye mask 1
It is done by sandwiching it with the surrounding area.

Since this example is configured as described above, the light blocking member
22 can be held on the eye mask 1 to achieve a desired light blocking effect.

In this example, the folded portions 9, 16 and 17 of the eye mask are folded back to hold the light blocking member, thereby preventing the light blocking member 22 from coming into direct contact with the eyes. Therefore, when the eyes blink, the discomfort caused by the eyes touching the light shielding member 22 does not occur. Moreover, since the bulging portions are formed in the eye mask 1 by the folding back portions of the lower folding portions 16 and 17, the folding portions are in contact with both side slope portions of the back of the nose, that is, the nose shop, and from both sides of the nose. Intrusion of light is prevented.

In this example, the number of the light blocking members is one, but the desired number of light blocking members can be provided by appropriately increasing the number of used light blocking members.

(G) Effect of the Invention In the mask of the present invention, the folding part is formed as a forehead support piece by extending in a mountain shape outward from the fold in the central part of the first side part of the fibrous member. In the central part of the side part, each has an edge extending downward from each of the mountain-shaped tops of the mountain-shaped folds formed inward, and extends outward from each of the folds, and the folded-back part is used as a nose pad piece. Since the eye mask of the present invention is formed, it is possible to easily adjust the light shielding, which is impossible with the conventional eye mask.

In addition, the eye mask of the present invention has fewer kinds of raw materials than conventional eye masks and does not require processing such as sewing after cutting, so that the time required for manufacturing can be shortened and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Will be reduced.

Further, since the eye mask of the present invention can be made of a printable material such as paper or plastic, the patterning which is relatively difficult with the conventional eye mask can be done on the eye mask surface. Since it can be performed by printing, an eye mask with a colorful pattern can be provided at low cost.
