Description

The present invention relates to a hygienic mask having a seamless appearance display as if printed directly on the mask body.

Masks are hygienic products that are widely used for the purpose of preventing the spread of diseases and preventing the suction of fine particles such as pollen and PM2.5. It may also be used in a wider range of applications, such as keeping the mouth and throat moist and hiding the undressed face.

The mask is generally made of a woven cloth such as gauze or a non-woven fabric, and an ear strap for fixing the mask body at a position covering the mouth and nose is attached to the mask body. In many cases, the ear strap is made of an elastic material, and has a structure in which the main body is fixed by a force of contraction while being stretched and hung on the ear. Alternatively, there is also a structure in which the string is fixed by turning it around the back of the head instead of hanging the string on the ear. The one that fixes the mask on the back of the head is used when it is supposed to be used for a long time such as in the medical field, or when adhesion to the face is required.

In recent years, due to the epidemic of infectious diseases, it has become common to wear a mask when going out. Along with this, there are increasing opportunities for organizations such as companies to prepare masks and to distribute masks as novelties. In such cases, there is a demand for printing the organization logo or name on the mask in order to raise awareness.

A person's face is a part that attracts attention when face-to-face, and has a great influence on the formation of an impression on an individual. However, most of the masks on the market have a uniform design and lack design. Therefore, there is also a demand for masks with highly original designs.

As a method of printing on a mask, there are a method of printing in the state of a cloth and manufacturing a mask using the printed cloth, and a method of processing the mask into a form and then printing on the mask.

In the former case, a large number of lots are required for manufacturing, and it is not possible to meet the demand for a wide variety of small lots. In addition, because the mask is a hygienic product that comes into direct contact with the mouth, it is necessary to inspect for azo dyes, formaldehyde, and the like. Therefore, it is disadvantageous in terms of inspection cost and time required for inspection.

In the latter case, for example, silk printing is used, and it is possible to handle small lots. However, it may be carried out on the same production line as other miscellaneous goods, which raises concerns about hygiene such as contamination with foreign substances. In addition, since a solvent is used for printing, problems such as odor derived from the solvent and effects on health occur.

Alternatively, there is also a method of processing the fabric into the form of a mask and then attaching a sticker. However, it was clear that the conventional mask seal was often made of cotton or a glossy material, and the seal was affixed without being compatible with the material of the mask body.

In Patent Document 1, a mask main body portion composed of fibers and covering the mouth and nose, an ear hook string portion provided at both ends of the mask main body portion for hanging on an ear, and a surface side of the mask main body portion. Disclosed is a sanitary mask comprising, and a decorative sealing member attached to. Further, it is disclosed that the decorative seal member is subjected to a potting process. The hygiene mask of Patent Document 1 does not aim at seamlessness between the main body and the seal, and the idea is different from that of the present invention.

Utility Model Registration No. 3230071

It is an object of the present invention to provide a hygienic mask having a seamless appearance display as if printed directly on the mask body.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric, the mask body having the first surface and the second surface, and the first surface of the mask body in contact with the face of the user. A mask including a string or adhesive portion attached to the mask body for fixing so as to cover a part of the face, and a seal portion configured separately from the mask body, wherein the seal portion is adhesive. Provided is a mask having a layer and a display layer, the adhesive layer joining a second surface of the mask body to a sealing portion, and the display layer being made of matt polypropylene.

According to the mask of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a small lot, and it is possible to realize a hygienic mask having a display assimilated with the mask body without any concern about odor and health.

It is a top view which shows the mask of this invention.

For the mask of the present invention, a breathable woven fabric or non-woven fabric used for a general sanitary mask can be used as the material of the mask body. The shape of the mask body is, for example, a substantially flat square shape. That is, it has four vertices and is connected by a line. However, each side does not necessarily have to be a straight line, and may have a shape connected by a curved line, if desired. Also, the vertices do not necessarily have to form corners, and for example, each side may be connected by a smooth curve.

The mask of the present invention may be provided with pleats. The pleats are formed by folding the mask body material while shifting it. Before spreading the pleats, it has a flat shape, but when worn, it becomes three-dimensional by spreading the pleats, and it can cover a wider area of the face than a mask without pleats and reduce the gap between the faces.

When the mask of the present invention is used, the first surface of the mask body comes into contact with the user's face and covers a part of the face. The portion of the face is an area including, for example, the nose or the lower part of the face including the mouth, preferably an area including both the nose and the mouth.

At the time of use, the mask of the present invention is fixed so as to cover a part of the user's face by a string or an adhesive portion attached to the mask body. The string can be a loop made of a stretchable material such as rubber. The mask body can be fixed at an appropriate position on the face by the force of contracting the ring while stretching it over the ear. Alternatively, the string may be turned around the back of the head instead of the ears to fix it. In another aspect, a portion of the first surface of the mask body has an adhesive portion, for example, along the outer peripheral portion. A mask having an adhesive portion can bring the mask into close contact with the face by bringing the adhesive portion into contact with the face and lightly applying acupressure. In addition, both the string and the adhesive portion may be included.

The mask of the present invention may further include a shape-retaining member, for example, a nose piece. The nose piece is a member that is arranged along the upper side of the mask body and holds the shape of the mask according to the shape around the outer nose. In many cases, the nosepiece is made of a material having both deformability and shape retention, such as resin and metal, and resin is preferably used from the viewpoint of safety. When the user wears it, the nose piece is deformed according to the curve of his / her face, so that the generation of gaps can be reduced. By matching the shape of the mask with the curve of the face, the adhesion between the mask and the face can be improved.

The seal portion in the present invention is configured separately from the mask body and has an adhesive layer and a display layer. The sealing portion is joined to the second surface of the mask body by an adhesive layer. That is, at the time of use, the seal portion is visually recognized by others other than the user. Arbitrary information such as logos, characters, and illustrations can be displayed on the display layer of the seal portion. The dimensions, shape, and joining position of the seal may be arbitrary as long as it fits on the second surface of the mask body. For example, the rectangular seal may be placed in the center of the second surface of the mask body, or in any one or more of the four corners.

The joining of the seal portion to the mask body can be achieved by manually attaching the seal portion. Therefore, in a hygienic environment, the mask of the present invention can be manufactured without requiring special equipment or skill. It is also easy to change the arrangement of the seal portion.

The display layer of the seal portion is made of matt polypropylene. Matte polypropylene is polypropylene having fine irregularities on its surface and having suppressed gloss. Polypropylene with a smooth surface reflects light well, so the difference in texture from the mask body is noticeable. On the other hand, if the mask has fine irregularities, the light is diffusely reflected, and the difference in texture from the mask body becomes mild. Therefore, it is possible to realize a seamless appearance display as if it were printed directly on the mask body.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be variously modified based on the purpose of the present invention, and these are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.
