Description

The present invention relates to a mask worn on the face so as to cover the nostrils and the mouth, and particularly to a mask that is easy to breathe and can be used comfortably for a long time.

Masks are used to prevent the release of viruses by scattering droplets due to coughing or sneezing. However, in recent years, when talking with a person infected with the virus at a short distance, it is said that the virus contained in the sigh and cough of the infected person invades from the nose and mouth of the surrounding people and is infected, preventing the virus infection by conversation. In order to do so, it is necessary to wear a mask on a daily basis.

However, in general, the mask is worn so that there is no gap between the face and the mask, so that it is difficult to breathe and talk. In particular, in order to prevent splashing from the upper side of the mask, a metal or plastic linear or flat shape holding member called a nose wire, nose pad, nose piece, etc. provided near the upper edge of the mask is used. If you put the mask in close contact with your nose and cover your jaw under the mask, the mask will stick to your face and make you suffocate. In addition, when worn for a long time, sweat and moisture in the mask cause the mouth to twist and stick, making it difficult to talk and making it stuffy and uncomfortable.
In addition, if you wear the mask in close contact with your face, you will be inhaling your breath, which will lead to a slight oxygen deficiency due to continuous inhalation of air with low oxygen concentration, such as headache and nausea. It leads to poor physical condition.

In order to solve such a problem, a mask that is easy to breathe and forms a space around the mouth is disclosed.
The utility model registration No. 3229544 (Patent Document 1) states that "a mask main body portion, an ear hook portion, and a shape support member are provided, and the mask main body portion is a support member for mounting the shape support member. It is provided with a mounting portion, and can be used with the shape support member attached to the support member mounting portion, and can be washed or stored with the shape support member removed. ”“ The support member mounting portion is the mask main body portion. A three-dimensional mask is disclosed, which is provided in a hollow shape in the vertical direction from the upper end portion to the lower end portion of the central portion on the face side, and can be mounted so as to cover the shape support member inside the support member mounting portion having the hollow shape. There is.
With the three-dimensional mask disclosed above, a space is created in the mouth, the mask does not stick to the mouth, and it is easy to wash and hygienic.

Further, the inner frame for a mask disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3229909 (Patent Document 2) is interposed between the back side of the mask and the face of a person, and "at least the nose and lips of a person". A frame part having a predetermined width that comes into contact with the face while surrounding the face, and a convex shape on the front side that is connected to the inner diameter side of the frame part and is bulky compared to the undulations of the outer nose and lips. It is provided with a band-shaped arm having a band-shaped arm, an opening of a portion excluding the band-shaped arm, and a dome portion having the band-shaped arm. It has at least one of the lower slits extending to the left and right. "According to this configuration, the inner frame for the mask has a side slit and a lower portion formed so as to face the edge of the mask, which is an air passage. It comprises at least one of the slits, in which case the gas flows towards the edge of the mask through the side or lower slits when the wearer breathes, thus the gas is more likely to flow out of the mask when breathing. In addition, gas easily flows into the mask. As a result, the wearer can comfortably wear the mask. ”Therefore, a space is surely formed around the mouth, and the mask is twisted and stuck at the mouth. Never.

The mask 1 according to the present invention has a nostril in the face of the wearer as shown in a front view of an embodiment of the mask according to the present invention of FIG. 1 and a side view of an embodiment of the mask according to the present invention of FIG. And a mask worn to cover the mouth.
In the present embodiment, the mask 1 according to the present invention is formed three-dimensionally by joining two symmetrical sheet-shaped members so that a portion in contact with the nose and mouth in an open state is bulged outward. , It has a structure that fits the wearer's face. In this embodiment, two symmetrical sheet members are joined, but one sheet may be formed into the same three-dimensional shape.
Such a three-dimensional mask has an extremely small gap between the face and the mask 1, and is highly effective in preventing droplet infection due to coughing or sneezing.
Further, the ear hooks 3 are generally provided on both sides of the mask body, and in this embodiment, ear hook strings are attached to both sides of the mask body 2, but the same type as the mask body 2 is attached. The ear hook portion may be formed of a cloth, and is not particularly limited as long as it has a structure that can be hung on the ear as a mask.

As described above, the mask 1 according to the present invention includes a mask main body 2 and ear hooks 3 provided on both sides of the mask main body 2, and is upper side of the upper edge region 4a of the mask main body 2. The edge shape holding member 4 is provided.
The upper edge shape holding member 4 is deformed according to the shape of the wearer's nose muscle to bring the mask 1 into close contact with the periphery of the nose muscle. In this embodiment, the upper edge shape retaining member 4 is provided on the upper edge 40, which is the upper side of the mask main body 2, but by deforming according to the shape of the nose muscle, the mask 1 and the periphery of the nose muscle are brought into close contact with each other. If possible, the position can be appropriately selected, and may be provided slightly from the upper edge 40 to the center of the mask body 2.
Further, the upper edge shape retaining member 4 is intended to prevent a gap between the nose muscle and the mask 1 as described above, and when worn, there is no gap between the nose muscle and the bulge of the cheekbone under both eyes. It has a length that can be adjusted so that it can be adjusted.
In this embodiment, the upper edge shape holding member 4 having a length of about half the length of the upper edge 40 is provided.

The upper edge shape holding member 4 is made of a flat plate-shaped material or a linear material that can be deformed into an arbitrary shape. For example, it is composed of a thin metal plate such as aluminum, stainless steel, or iron, a thin wire, or a plastic resin material.
Then, the flat plate-shaped material or the linear material is sewn or attached to the upper edge region 4a to fix it.
The upper edge shape holding member 4 is not limited to the one made of the above material, and may be deformed according to the shape of the wearer's face, and the fixing means thereof is also the wearer's face. It is not particularly limited as long as it is a means that does not hurt.

The mask 1 according to the present invention is provided with a lower edge shape holding member 5 that deforms along the shape of the wearer's jaw in the lower edge region 5a of the lower edge 50 of the mask body 2. Then, the lower edge shape holding member 5 holds the shape of the lower edge 50 of the mask body 2, and an air passage 10 (see FIG. 4) through which air enters and exits between the mask body 2 and the wearer's chin. A gap S is formed between the mask body 2 and the tip of the wearer's chin so as to be formed.
Further, in order to maintain the shape of the lower edge shape holding member 5 and secure the air passage 10, the reinforcing portion 6 may be provided on the vertical center line 6a of the mask main body 2.

The upper edge 40 and the lower edge 50 of the mask body 2 are formed linearly to the left and right in the direction of the ear hook with respect to the upper and lower ends (6b, 6c) of the vertical center line 6a of the mask body 2, respectively. Will be done.
Then, the length (L1) of the straight line of the upper edge 40 from the upper end portion 6b of the vertical center line 6a to the ear hook portion and the lower edge 50 from the lower end portion 6c of the vertical center line 6a to the ear hook portion. The length of the straight line (L2) is composed of L1: L2 = 1: 1.1 to 1.3.
The mask 1 according to the present invention is configured such that the lower edge 50 is longer than the upper edge 40, and the lower edge shape holding member 5 provided on the lower edge 50 is attached to the upper edge 40. It is longer than the upper edge shape holding member 4 that has been formed.
Then, the long portion can form an outlet that facilitates the exhalation of breath from the mask body 2 when the wearer wears the mask 1. As a result, the breath of the gap S formed between the mask body 2 and the wearer's face is facilitated to be discharged. Since the upper edge 40 and the lower edge 50 are formed in a straight line, an extra force does not act on the lower edge shape holding member 5, and the gap portion S can be stably formed.
FIG. 4 shows a state in which the lower edge shape holding member 5 is deformed so that an air passage 10 serving as an air passage is formed at the tip of the wearer's jaw, and the mask body 2 is a jaw. A gap S is formed without touching the tip, and an air passage 10 through which air enters and exits the wearer's nostrils and mouth is formed from the gap S.
The lower edge shape holding member 5 has enough strength and length to form the gap portion S as described above.
If a reinforcing portion is provided on the vertical center line 6a in order to reinforce the shape of the lower edge shape holding member 5, the space of the gap portion S can be maintained wider and more stably, and the air in the air passage 10 can be maintained. The entry and exit will be smooth.

The mask 1 according to the present invention forms an air passage 10 through which air enters and exits from the periphery of the wearer's nostrils to the mouth as described above, and is a lower edge shape holding member in order to make it easy for air to be sucked in and discharged. Both ends of No. 5 can be deformed according to the shape of the wearer's chin, and can be deformed so as to form a gap portion S serving as an air vent around the tip of the chin.
Therefore, the length is not particularly limited as long as it can be deformed so as to form the gap S, but by deforming according to the entire shape of the wearer's chin, the degree of adhesion around the chin is increased. In addition, in order to facilitate the formation of an outlet (a portion between the mask body 2 and the chin) that facilitates the breathing of the gap S and the gap S, the mask body 2 is provided over almost the entire lower edge region 5. Is preferable.
In general, droplets caused by coughing or sneezing are scattered straight forward. The mask 1 according to the present invention is provided with an air passage 10 downward while firmly suppressing droplets scattered in the forward direction, thereby sufficiently ensuring the function as a mask and always being worn for a long time. New air comes in and out, and you don't feel stuffy.

A reinforcing portion 6 may be provided in order to stabilize the shape formed by the lower edge shape holding member 5 so as not to be deformed easily.
When the sheet material constituting the mask main body 2 is a cloth, the reinforcing portion 6 may be made of a plurality of layers of the cloth and sewn together. When two sheet materials are sewn together along the vertical center line 6a, they may be formed by increasing the number of layers of overlapping portions.
Further, in the case of non-woven fabric, urethane, or the like, a plurality of sheets may be laminated and heat-bonded on the vertical center line 6a, and when the mask body 2 is formed of one sheet, it may be formed vertically. A shape-retaining member may be mounted on the center line 6a to form the reinforcing portion 6.

By providing the reinforcing portion 6, the shape of the lower edge shape holding member 5 near the tip of the jaw forms the air passage 10, so that it is prevented from becoming unstable due to the distance from the jaw and is stably deformed. It is difficult to do so, and it is possible to prevent the mask body 2 from sticking to the chin when breathing.
The reinforcing portion 6 may be formed on the vertical center line 6a of the mask main body 2 over the entire area in the vertical direction from the upper end portion 6b to the lower end portion 6c, or may be provided in a part thereof, and the lower edge shape is maintained. If the shape of the member 5 can be maintained and the shape of the nostril can be adjusted firmly, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the entire mask can be maintained in a neat view from both the front and the side. As shown in FIG. 4, the gap S is secured from the nostril to the mouth, and the air passage 10 can be formed.
Depending on the material of the mask main body 2, the mask body 2 has sufficient strength and tension, and in that case, the reinforcing portion 6 becomes unnecessary.

The air passage 10 serves as an intake port for taking in fresh air into the mask 1, and exerts the effect of an exhaust port for exhaled breath into the mask 1, enhances the air permeability in the mask 1, and dissipates the heat in the mask. , Easy to breathe and make your mouth comfortable.
Since the air passage 10 is formed in the mask 1 according to the present invention as described above, the air permeability of the material of the mask body 2 does not matter. That is, in order to enhance the effect of preventing droplets from slipping through, even materials with low breathability, such as highly functional non-woven fabric materials, flexible resin materials, rubber materials and leather materials, can be attached without feeling stuffy. ..

The lower edge shape holding member 5 is made of a flat plate-shaped material or a linear material that can be deformed into an arbitrary shape. For example, it is composed of a thin metal plate such as aluminum, stainless steel, or iron, a thin wire, or a plastic resin material.
Then, the flat plate-shaped material or the linear material is sewn or attached to the lower edge region 5a and fixed. The fixing means is not particularly limited as long as it does not hurt the wearer's face.
The lower edge shape holding member 5 is not limited to the one made of the above material, and can be arbitrarily deformed according to the shape of the wearer's face, and can only form the gap portion S. It suffices if it has strength, and it may be made of the same material as the upper edge shape-retaining member 4 or a different material. When the shape-retaining member is provided on the vertical center line 6a, it is also the same material. You may.

The mask according to the present invention is not only a three-dimensional cloth mask and a urethane mask, but also a rectangular mask in which a plurality of cloths are stacked, a pleated type mask in which a plurality of folds are folded into a pleated shape in the mask body, and the like. By providing the upper edge shape-retaining member in the upper edge region and the lower edge shape-retaining member in the lower edge region, the same effect can be exhibited, and the product can be used comfortably without being stuffy even when worn for a long time.
In addition, since an air passage is formed in the mouth and you do not feel stuffy, even if you have difficulty breathing and are using a face guard instead of a mask, the mask according to the present invention has a lower edge shape. Since the shape around the jaw and the shape of the air passage can be arbitrarily modified by the holding member to replace the fresh air, it is possible to use it as a mask without using a face guard.
Further, since both the upper edge and the lower edge are formed in a straight line and the upper edge shape holding member and the lower edge shape holding member are provided, it is easy to manufacture without large-scale equipment.
