Description

Applied for application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act, which is applied mutatis mutandis to Article 11 of the Utility Model Act.

The present invention relates to a mask case for housing a mask.

In recent years, when infectious diseases caused by influenza viruses, coronaviruses, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "viruses, etc.") are prevalent, it is recommended to wear a mask to prevent droplet infection by covering the mouth and nose. On the other hand, masks are often put on and taken off because they cause a feeling of blockage and oppression and interfere with eating and drinking. The removed mask is stored in a naked state or in a dedicated mask case and stored in a bag or a pocket of clothes, or placed on a table.

However, it is not hygienic to store the mask in a bag or pocket, etc., or leave it on the table in a naked state. The mask case cannot be accommodated in clothes that do not have a mask, and the mask case must be carried, which is cumbersome.

The present invention has been proposed in view of such circumstances, and aims to provide a mask case that allows a user to carry a mask in a hygienic and convenient manner.

In order to achieve the above object, the mask case according to the present invention is a first form of a linear thin plate shape in which the center of a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is raised on one side, or the cross section is flattened to deform into an annular second form in which the one surface side becomes an inner peripheral surface; and a flat and soft housing portion attached to the main body, wherein the first In the above-mentioned main body part of the above-described configuration, the main body part is deformed into the second form in a state in which the accommodating part in which the mask is accommodated is folded and overlapped on the main body part.

In the mask case according to the present invention, the accommodating portion is two resin sheets that overlap each other, one end of the accommodating portion is overlapped and attached to the main body portion, and the accommodating portion includes: The other end opposite to the one end and in a direction away from the main body is overlapped and can be freely opened and closed.

The mask case according to the present invention is in the shape of a long thin plate and has a linear first shape in which the center of the cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is raised on one side, or the cross section is flattened to one side. It has a main body part that deforms into a second form of an annular shape with an inner peripheral surface on one side, and a flat and soft housing part attached to the main body part, and the main body part of the first form has a housing part in which the mask is housed. is folded and overlaid on the main body, the main body deforms to the second form. In the first form, since the main body is straight, the accommodating portion is also flat, and the mask is accommodated in the accommodating portion. On the other hand, the main body section, which is deformed into the second form by folding the accommodating section, is wrapped around the arm of the user, the handle of the bag, or the like to form a ring. Therefore, the user does not feel annoyed because both hands are free while carrying the mask and the mask case. Therefore, the mask can be sanitarily and conveniently carried.

In the mask case according to the present invention, the storage part is two resin sheets that overlap each other, and one end of the storage part is overlapped and attached to the main body part, and the opposite side of the one end of the storage part is attached. and the other end in the direction away from the main body is overlapped and can be freely opened and closed. The mask passes through the other end and is accommodated between the two resin sheets, and the accommodating portion of the resin sheet is flexibly folded. Therefore, the mask can be conveniently carried without being bulky.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a mask case according to an embodiment of the present invention is unfolded, (a) being a front view, and (b) being a cross-sectional view. FIG. 2 is a front view of a state in which the mask case according to the embodiment of the present invention is in an unfolded state, and in a state in which the accommodating portion is folded with respect to the main body portion of the first form. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the mask case rolled up according to the embodiment of the present invention.

A mask case according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the mask case 2 is deployed (hereinafter referred to as a "developed state"), FIG. 2 shows a state in which the accommodating portion 6 is folded in the deployed state, and FIG. shows a state in which the mask case 2 is rolled up (hereinafter referred to as a "contracted state"). In the following description, the orientations shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B are the longitudinal direction, the width direction, and the thickness direction, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the mask case 2 has a long thin plate-like main body portion 3 and a flat and soft accommodating portion 6 attached to the main body portion 3 . The main body 3 is made of metal, for example, and deforms into a linear first form (see FIG. 1) or an annular second form (see FIG. 3). The housing portion 6 is made of resin such as vinyl, and changes to an expanded state (see FIG. 1) or a folded state (see FIG. 2).

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, in the unfolded mask case 2, the main body 3 is in the first configuration. The main body part 3 of the first form protrudes toward the one surface 4 at the center of the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Specifically, the cross section of the main body portion 3 is curved in a convex arc toward one surface 4 in the thickness direction, and the other surface 5 is bent in a concave arc (see FIG. 1B). In this first form, an external force is applied from the side of one surface 4 to flatten the cross section, so that the body portion 3 is deformed into the second form.

The container 6 is two thin sheets that are stacked on top of each other. The accommodating portion 6 is substantially rectangular and is large enough to cover the entire mask 1 . One end portion 7 of the housing portion 6, which is the upper end in the longitudinal and width direction, is overlapped and attached to the main body portion 3 in a state in which the sheets are overlapped and closed. The other end portion 8 of the storage portion 6 opposite to the one end portion 7, which is the lower end in the direction away from the main body portion 3, is openable and closable although the sheets are overlapped.

In the mask case 2 in the unfolded state, the mask 1 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 6 with the other end portion 8 of the accommodating portion 6 opened. As shown in FIG. 2 , the accommodating portion 6 is folded to have substantially the same vertical width as the main body portion 3 and overlaps the main body portion 3 . In this state, when an external force is applied to one surface 4 of the main body 3, as shown in FIG. It transforms into an annular second form. The mask case 2 with the main body 3 in the second form is in a contracted state.

In the mask case 2 in the contracted state, an external force is applied in a direction in which both ends of the body portion 3 are separated from each other, and the cross section is curved, so that the body portion 3 is deformed again to the first form. When the housing portion 6 is expanded while the main body portion 3 is in the first form, the mask case 2 is in an unfolded state, and the mask 1 can be taken out from the housing portion 6 (see FIG. 1).

The mask case 2 is configured as described above.

For example, the user contracts the mask case 2 and wraps it around his or her arm, the handle of a bag, or the like. When a user takes off the mask 1 worn and carries it, first, the main body part 3 is deformed into the first form, and the housing part 6 is widened to change the mask case 2 to the unfolded state. The mask 1 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 6, and the accommodating portion 6 is folded. Finally, the mask case 2 is brought into a contracted state by applying the body part 3 to the arm, the handle of the bag, or the like, and deforming the body part 3 into the second form due to the impact at that time. Since the mask case 2 is wrapped around the arm or the handle of a bag in a contracted state, the user can carry the mask 1 and the mask case 2 with both hands free. Therefore, the user can carry the mask 1 hygienically and conveniently without feeling troublesome.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various design changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims of the utility model registration.
