Description

The present invention relates to a sanitary mask.

Recently, with the epidemic of the new influenza virus (disease name is COVID-19, virus name is SARS-CoV-2), wearing a mask is strongly encouraged. In particular, the risk of infection at restaurants has been pointed out.

At the time of dinner at a restaurant, the risk of infection is increased due to the fact that multiple people are close to each other and droplets are generated during conversation. Since it is normal to remove the mask when eating and drinking, there are many cases where the mask is not worn during conversation while eating and drinking, and it has been pointed out as a cause of infection.

In order to cope with this problem, as a conventional technique, there is one in which a slide fastener that can be opened and closed in the vertical direction is provided in the center of the mask. By opening this slide fastener, the mask user can eat and drink because the part corresponding to the human mouth opens while wearing the mask (Registered Utility Model No. 3228247 Mask).

In addition, a paper mask is also disclosed in which an opening is formed in the center of the mask in accordance with the movement of the mask user's mouth and the shape of the opening is deformed (Registered Utility Model No. 3230723 Paper). mask).

However, if the mask has a slide fastener in the center, the mask user may find it inconvenient to open and close the mask frequently. Further, even if the shape of the opening is deformed according to the movement of the mask user's mouth, there is a problem that when the opening is opened small, food comes into contact with the mask and the mask becomes dirty. ..

Therefore, as a result of diligent studies, the present inventor has devised a mask that allows the mask user to easily open and close the opening and has a low risk of being contaminated with food when the opening is opened. This makes it possible to eat and drink with the mask on, and by opening the opening of the mask only when eating and drinking and closing the opening during conversation during dinner, the chances of droplet infection during dinner are greatly increased. I think it can be reduced.

The technical means used by the present invention to solve the technical problem is as follows.

A sanitary mask that covers the tip of the nose with ear straps on both sides, covers the mouth, and covers the part that reaches the lower jaw through the tip of the chin, and when the mask is worn in the center of the mask An opening is provided to expose the mouth of the mask user, and a removable means for making the protective sheet that can close the opening removable is attached to the surface of the mask, and the protective sheet is attached. Provided is a mask characterized by being present.

The upper and lower peripheral edges of the opening and the area between the left and right ends on the front side of the sanitary mask may be composed of two or more mask fabrics.

The area between the upper and lower peripheral edges of the opening and the left and right ends on the front side of the sanitary mask is also characterized in that the mask fabric is folded along the upper and lower edges of the opening to be sewn into a plurality of layers. good.

The removable means may be characterized in that it is selected from a hook-and-loop fastener, a button or a magnet.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described in combination with the accompanying drawings and examples.

Embodiment of the device

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following examples. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the surface of the sanitary mask (with a protective sheet) of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a state in which a protective sheet is adhered to the opening of the sanitary mask main body.

In FIG. 1, a string for connecting the sanitary mask body and the user's ear is shown. Further, the protective sheet shall be larger than the opening of the sanitary mask main body, and shall be sized so that no gap is formed between the opening and the sanitary mask main body. The upper and lower peripheral edges of the opening and the area between the left and right ends on the front side of the sanitary mask are sewn into a plurality of layers by folding the mask fabric along the upper and lower edges of the opening (Fig.). 2).

In this embodiment, the protective sheet and the sanitary mask body are made of the same material and have the same color and design. In the sanitary mask of this embodiment, it is not recognized as a special mask in appearance. Hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to both sides of the back surface of the protective sheet in the vertical direction, and the sanitary mask body is also provided with hook-and-loop fasteners on the sides of the opening to complement this (Fig. 2). ). The hook-and-loop fastener is a portion indicated by dots (polka dots) in FIG. While the protective sheet closes the opening, it is designed so that a gap is not created between the protective sheet and the sanitary mask body as much as possible.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the surface of the sanitary mask (without protective sheet) of the present invention. Hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to both sides of the back of the protective sheet in the vertical direction. This surface fastener is complementary to the surface fasteners provided on the left and right ends of the back surface of the protective sheet and can be attached and detached. By adopting the hook-and-loop fastener, the sanitary mask body and the protective sheet can be easily attached and detached, and can be opened and closed frequently even when eating and drinking, so that the risk of droplet infection during eating and drinking can be significantly reduced.

The upper and lower peripheral edges of the opening and the area between the left and right ends on the front side of the sanitary mask are sewn into a plurality of layers by folding the mask fabric along the upper and lower edges of the opening. In this embodiment, the back surface side is folded to the front surface along the upper and lower edges of the opening, and the back surface that appears after being further folded is folded again. Since it is folded twice, when viewed from the front of the mask, the fabric pattern on the surface of the folded part also appears.

The width of the region (three layers in this embodiment) that is folded into a plurality of layers is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the width from the upper and lower edges of the opening to the upper and lower edges of the mask body. It is about half of. It is assumed that the region having a plurality of layers (horizontally long strip shape) is formed from the upper and lower edges of the opening to the left and right edges of the mask body.

By forming the upper and lower peripheral edges of the opening and the region between the left and right ends on the front side of the sanitary mask into a plurality of layers, it is possible to strengthen the edge of the opening that is prone to breakage. The width from the upper and lower edges of the opening to the upper and lower edges of the mask body is about half. Further, by forming the upper and lower peripheral edges of the opening and the region (horizontally long band shape) between the left and right ends on the front side of the sanitary mask into a plurality of layers, the portion becomes harder than the other portions. Therefore, it is easy to perform three-dimensional sewing so that the sanitary mask has an arc shape as a whole along the face line.

The material of the sanitary mask of the present invention does not matter, but in this embodiment, it is made of cloth. A mesh-shaped cushioning material is provided on the back surface of the sanitary mask (Fig. 3). This breathable cushioning material prevents the skin on the face from coming into direct contact with the cloth of the sanitary mask and suppresses stickiness such as sweat. In addition, by having a cushioning property, it is easy to bring the user's nose and mouth into close contact with the sanitary mask, and it is intended to prevent gaps from being generated as much as possible. The mesh-shaped cushioning material is a shaded portion shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a situation in which the sanitary mask of the present invention is used. The hygiene mask covers the user's ears and extends to the nose, mouth and lower jaw in the same manner as a normal mask. Mainly, it differs from a normal sanitary mask in that an opening is provided in a portion covering the user's mouth, and a removable protective sheet is attached to close the opening.

Hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to both the left and right sides of the opening, so when opening the opening, you can easily open the opening by leaving one of them glued and removing the other. Can be done. Also, if you want to open the opening completely, you can remove both hook-and-loop fasteners.

According to the present invention, it is possible to eat while wearing a hygiene mask at the time of dinner or eating and drinking (Fig. 4). Then, the user can open the opening of the sanitary mask only for a short time of eating and drinking. Also, when drinking a beverage using a straw, the opening can be opened slightly.

By using the sanitary mask of the present invention, the chance of droplet infection at the time of dinner can be significantly reduced.
