Description

The present invention relates to a mask holder for holding a mask and a mask set.

In recent years, an increasing number of people are using masks for the purpose of preventing harmful substances such as pollen, viruses, and dust from entering the body and for the purpose of hygiene management. This tendency is becoming more and more prominent in the wake of the global epidemic of the new coronavirus. With the increase in the use of masks, various goods have been proposed to improve the convenience of using masks. For example, Patent Document 1 below describes a mask holder that holds a mask so that the ear hook portion of the mask does not hit the ear as much as possible.

As another example of the mask holder, a mask holder called a mask chain is known. An example of a conventional mask chain will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B. FIG. 1A shows a state in which the person 1 wears the mask 2. The mask 2 has a main body portion 2A that covers the nose and mouth of the person 1 and an ear hook portion 2B that is integrally formed with the main body portion 2A. In FIG. 1A, the ear hook portion 2B on one side of the main body portion 2A is shown, but the ear hook portion 2B is also provided on the other side. The mask chain 3 is a metal member having a substantially string-like shape. As shown in FIG. 1A, one end of the mask chain 3 is attached to one ear hook portion 2B by using a fastener such as a hook. Then, the mask chain 3 is routed so as to pass behind the neck of the person 1, and the other end is attached to the other ear hook portion 2B by using a fastener. In the following description, of the main body 2A of the mask 2, the surface of the person 1 on the side in contact with the skin around the mouth and nose is appropriately referred to as an inner surface, and the outer surface opposite to the inner surface is appropriately referred to as an outer surface. In order to facilitate the understanding of the explanation, in the drawing, the outer surface of the main body 2A is hatched, and the inner surface of the main body 2A is not hatched.

By the way, when using a mask, the mask may be removed. For example, there are cases where it is necessary to remove the mask and eat and drink, or when there are no or few others around oneself and it is not necessary to wear a mask. In such a case, by using the mask chain 3, the mask 2 can be hung near the chest as shown in FIG. 1B. That is, since it is not necessary to place the mask 2 on a flat surface or the like on a desk and there is no risk of dropping the mask 2, the mask 2 can be handled hygienically.

Utility Model Registration No. 3200050

However, in the conventional mask chain 3, as shown in FIG. 1B, there is a problem that the inner surface of the main body 2A is exposed in a state where the mask 2 is removed and hung near the chest. For this reason, when the inner surface of the main body 2A comes into contact with the outside air, there is an increased risk that pollen, viruses, droplets, etc. floating in the air will adhere to the inner surface of the main body 2A, that is, the part that comes into contact with the wearer's skin. There was a problem that it was not hygienic. Further, since the mask 2 is hung in the open state, there is a problem that it gives an aesthetically sloppy impression.

Therefore, the present invention is a mask holder that can prevent the inner surface of the main body of the mask from being exposed even when the mask is not worn without impairing the function of the conventional mask holder, and the mask holder. One of the purposes is to provide a mask set including ingredients.

<One Embodiment>
<Modification example>
However, the embodiments and the like shown below exemplify a configuration for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the illustrated configuration.

First, the mask (mask 20) according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 2A, the mask 20 is roughly composed of a main body portion 21 that covers the wearer's mouth and nose, an ear hook portion 25A that is hung on the ear on the left side of the wearer of the mask 20, and the mask 20. It has an ear hook portion 25B that can be hung on the ear on the right side when viewed from the wearer. The details of the mask 20 will be described below.

The main body 21 is formed by, for example, superimposing a plurality of non-woven fabrics or gauze formed of a thermoplastic synthetic resin. The main body 21 has an outer surface 21A which is a surface exposed to the outside when worn, and an inner surface 21B which is located inside when worn and touches the wearer's skin. Similar to the mask 2 described above, the outer surface 21A of the main body 21 is hatched, and the inner surface 21B of the main body 21 is not hatched.

The main body 21 has a substantially rectangular shape having four corners. The four corners include a corner 22A which is the upper left side when viewed from the wearer, a corner 23A which is the lower left side, a corner 22B which is the upper right side, and a corner 23B which is the lower right side when worn. An insertion portion 24A is provided near the corner 23A on the lower left side. The insertion portion 24A is a small circular ring formed by using a string or the like. The insertion portion 24A is preferably made of fibers rather than metal because it can touch the skin of the wearer of the mask 20. As shown in FIG. 2A, the ear hook portion 25A is inserted into the insertion portion 24A. Further, an insertion portion 24B is provided near the corner 23B on the lower right side. The insertion portion 24B is a small circular ring formed by using a string or the like. The insertion portion 24B is preferably a fiber rather than a metal because it can touch the skin of the mask 20 wearer. As shown in FIG. 2A, the ear hook portion 25B is inserted through the insertion portion 24B. The insertion portion 24A and the insertion portion 24B correspond to an example of the mask holder attachment portion.

One end of the string-shaped ear hook portion 25A is sewn near the corner 22A on the upper left side of the main body portion 21. On the other hand, the other end of the ear hook portion 25A is a free end without being sewn into the main body portion 21. After inserting the other end of the ear hook portion 25A into the insertion portion 24A, the other end is routed to the opposite side. Then, the routed side is passed through the length adjusting adjuster 26A through which the ear hook portion 25A is passed. Thereby, the length of the ear hook portion 25A can be adjusted.

Further, one end of the string-shaped ear hook portion 25B is sewn near the corner 22B on the upper right side of the main body portion 21. On the other hand, the other end of the ear hook portion 25B is a free end without being sewn into the main body portion 21. After inserting the other end of the ear hook portion 25B into the insertion portion 24B, the other end is routed to the opposite side. Then, the routed side is passed through the length adjusting adjuster 26B through which the ear hook portion 25B is passed. Thereby, the length of the ear hook portion 25B can be adjusted. As described above, the ear hook portions 25A and 25B according to the present embodiment are configured so that their respective lengths can be adjusted. As a result, the mask can be made to fit the wearer better regardless of the shape and size of the head.

Next, the mask chain 30, which is an example of the mask holder of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS. 2B, 3A, and 3B. FIG. 2B is an overall view of the mask chain 30, and FIGS. 3A and 3B are partially enlarged views of portions (near both ends of the mask chain 30) with reference numerals AA in FIG. 2B. The mask chain 30 has a string-shaped main body portion 31, mask attachment portions 32A and 32B, and magnets 33A and 33B which are examples of attachment / detachment portions.

The main body 31 is made of a metal such as iron or stainless steel, and has a chain shape (see FIG. 3A). Mask attachment portions are provided at both ends of the main body portion 31. Specifically, a mask mounting portion 32A is provided at one end of the main body portion 31, and a mask mounting portion 32B is provided at the other end of the main body portion 31.

The mask mounting portion 32A is provided at one end of the main body 31 via a magnet, a ring-shaped member, or the like. The mask mounting portion 32A is made of metal like the main body portion 31 and has a ring shape. A part of the mask mounting portion 32A is a movable portion 35A that can be pushed inward.

The mask mounting portion 32B is provided at the other end portion of the main body portion 31 via a magnet, a ring-shaped member, or the like. The mask mounting portion 32B is made of metal like the main body portion 31 and has a ring shape. A part of the mask mounting portion 32B is a movable portion 35B that can be pushed inward.

The magnet 33A has, for example, a cylindrical shape, and is provided in the vicinity of the mask mounting portion 32A via a ring-shaped metal fitting or the like. Further, the magnet 33B has, for example, a cylindrical shape, and is provided in the vicinity of the mask mounting portion 32B via a ring-shaped metal fitting or the like. The magnets 33A and 33B are arranged so as to face each other and have different polarities. Therefore, by bringing the magnet 33A and the magnet 33B close to each other, the magnet 33A and the magnet 33B can be attached to each other by magnetic force as shown in FIG. 3B.

For example, the mask 20 and the mask chain 30 described above constitute a mask set according to the present invention.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the person 10 wears the mask 20 using the mask chain 30. The mask 20 and the mask chain 30 are worn, for example, as follows. The person 10 wears the mask 20 after adjusting the lengths of the ear hooks 25A and 25B of the mask 20 as described above.

Then, one mask mounting portion of the mask chain 30, for example, the mask mounting portion 32A is attached to the mask 20. The mask 20 according to this embodiment is provided with an insertion portion 24A. Using this insertion portion 24A, the mask attachment portion 32A is attached to the insertion portion 24A. Specifically, after hooking the mask mounting portion 32A on the insertion portion 24A with the movable portion 35A of the mask mounting portion 32A urged inward, the urging state with respect to the movable portion 35A is released and the movable portion 35A is used as the original. Return to the position of. As a result, the mask attachment portion 32A is attached to the insertion portion 24A. After that, the main body 31 of the mask chain 30 is routed behind the neck, and the mask attachment portion 32B on the opposite side is attached to the insertion portion 24B by the same method as the mask attachment portion 32A. In this way, the mask chain 30 is attached to the mask 20.

The effect obtained by the mask chain 30 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A shows a state in which the wearing mask 20 shown in FIG. 4 is removed. With the mask chain 30, the same effect as that of the conventional mask chain can be obtained. That is, since it is not necessary to place the mask 20 on a flat surface or the like on a desk and there is no risk of dropping the mask 20, the mask 20 can be handled hygienically.

However, in the state shown in FIG. 5A, the inner surface 21B of the mask 20 on the side that comes into contact with the skin is exposed, which is unsanitary. Therefore, the person 10 brings the magnet 33A and the magnet 33B close to each other to bring them together. The mask 20 is folded from the vicinity of the center as the person 10 brings the magnet 33A and the magnet 33B closer to each other. Then, by sticking the magnet 33A and the magnet 33B together, an urging force is generated in the direction in which the mask 20 is folded, and as shown in FIG. 5B, the folded state of the mask 20 is maintained. As a result, it is possible to prevent the inner surface 21B of the mask 20 from being exposed, and it is possible to handle the mask 20 hygienically even when the mask 20 is removed.

In the present embodiment, magnets 33A and 33B are provided near the mask mounting portions 32A and 32B mounted near the corners of the main body portion 21. Therefore, by attaching the magnets 33A and 33B, it is possible to generate an urging force in the folding direction of the main body 21 of the mask 20, and the state shown in FIG. 5B can be maintained. Further, in order to maintain the state shown in FIG. 5B, it is conceivable to provide a seal or the like on the inner surface 21B, but since the inner surface 21B is a surface that comes into contact with the wearer's skin, the inner surface 21B may be provided with a seal or the like. Not preferable from the viewpoint of health safety. However, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to process the inner surface 21B that comes into contact with the skin, so that there is no such concern. In addition, since the mask 20 is in a folded state when the mask 20 is not worn, the appearance can be made smart.

<Modification example>
Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, a modified example will be described.

In the above-described embodiment, a metal chain has been used as an example of the mask holder, but all or part of the mask holder (for example, the main body 31) is not limited to metal, but acrylic or ABS (for example). It may be composed of a resin such as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), leather, fibers or the like.

In the above-described embodiment, a magnet has been described as an example of the attachment / detachment portion, but other than the magnet, for example, a hook or the like may be used. However, considering the ease of attachment / detachment, it is preferable that the attachment / detachment portion is a magnet because the magnet only needs to be attached as compared with the operation of hooking the hook.

In one embodiment described above, the mask mounting portions 32A and 32B are mounted near the lower left and right corners of the mask 20, but may be mounted at other locations. However, if the mask mounting portions 32A and 32B are mounted near the upper left and right corners of the mask 20, the length of the main body portion 31 needs to be increased, and the main body portion 31 also comes into contact with the vicinity of the cheeks. , The wearer of the mask 20 may feel uncomfortable. Further, in the configuration in which the mask attachment portions 32A and 32B are attached to the ear hook portions 25A and 25B, the attachment position tends to be unstable, and when the magnet 33A and the magnet 33B are attached, the mask 20 is not completely folded. The inner surface 21B is easily exposed. Therefore, it is preferable that the mask mounting portions 32A and 32B are mounted near the lower left and right corners of the mask 20.

In recent years, masks of various materials and shapes have been proposed and sold. The present invention can also be applied to these masks and medical masks. That is, the mask to which the mask holding portion according to the present invention can be attached is not limited to the mask exemplified in one embodiment.
