Description

The present invention relates to a mask aid used to maintain the bulge around the mouth of a cloth mask made by three-dimensional cutting from cloth.

When the wearer breathes, the bulge at the mouth of the mask is pulled in when inhaling, and the fibers of the mask body come into contact with the wearer's mouth and nose, making the wearer feel stuffy and uncomfortable. To solve this problem, a mask auxiliary device is known in which thin resin plates made of polypropylene or the like are inserted into the mask around the nose and mouth. (See Patent Documents 1 to 3)
In addition, cloth masks are made with 3D cutting to create a bulge around the mouth of the mask.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-93528 Patent No. 5373994 Utility Model Publication No. 61-60954

Disposable masks made of non-woven fabric must be inexpensive because they are discarded after use, so there are few that incorporate the aforementioned thin plate around the mouth, and many that are only inserted into the nose area have become popular. There is. On the other hand, cloth masks have a bulge around the mouth through 3D cutting, but there are only a few that incorporate a thin plate at the mouth, so they are not widely used in the general market.
As a result, when doing sports or other exercise, the wearer's breathing becomes rough, and when the wearer takes a deep breath, the mask body is sucked in and comes into contact with the wearer's mouth and nose, making the wearer feel breathless and uncomfortable.

In the mask shape retaining device described in Patent Document 1, an oblong thin plate is curved and attached to the mask body by heat fusion, and is discarded when the mask is discarded. In order to use the mask retainer several times without throwing it away, the wearer must be able to easily attach and detach it, which poses a problem in that it is difficult to attach and detach.

In the mask auxiliary device described in Patent Document 2, regardless of whether the mask is made of non-woven fabric or cloth, the mask can be easily attached and removed by the wearer, but the main body of the auxiliary device is located under the wearer's nose, chin, and both sides of the mouth. is in contact with the surrounding area. The problem was that the wearer felt uncomfortable at the contact area, and that wearing it for a long time caused sweat, which was unsanitary and caused irritation such as a rash on the skin.

The mask attachment device described in Patent Document 3 has locking pieces on both left and right ends, so the wearer can easily attach and detach it, but the main body is foldable and protrudes forward, so there are no ventilation holes. Because of this, the shape of the mask is large, making it easier for it to come into contact with the wearer's mouth area, and the degree of protrusion of the main body cannot be adjusted to fit the wearer's individual face shape, making it difficult for the mask to adhere to the face. was damaged and was not comfortable to wear. Moreover, since the shape is complicated, the manufacturing cost is high.

To summarize the problems that the present invention aims to solve, in the prior art for sanitary masks, the wearer cannot easily attach and remove mask aids, the mask aid comes into contact with the wearer's mouth area when worn, Problems include poor adhesion of the mask because the wearer cannot adjust the bulge of the mask aid, and the manufacturing cost is high.

In order to solve the above problems, the mask auxiliary device of the present invention has the following technical means.
A pair of locking tools having engaging parts that sandwich and fix the mask main body to a cloth mask main body made by three-dimensional cutting, wherein the locking tools are provided on the left and right sides of the mask main body, and one of the engaging parts is The mask body is connected by a rod-shaped bridge, and the rod-shaped bridge maintains a space between the mask body and the wearer's mouth when the mask is worn.

In the locking tool, a hook receiving part having a tongue piece is engaged with a hook protrusion having a pillar shaft and a protruding part, and the protruding part is attached to the outer periphery of the umbrella, the pillar shaft, and the tip of the pillar shaft. The hook protrusion, which is configured with a section, is configured to wrap around the mask main body from one side in the thickness direction of the mask main body and insert it into the hook receiving portion having the tongue piece on the other side in the thickness direction of the mask main body. The elastic force of the tongue piece and the hook protrusion engage the mask body in a state where it is caught, and the hook receiving part is connected to the inverted V-shaped rod-shaped bridge that projects in the front direction of the wearer. It is characterized by

According to the above configuration, the locking tool engages the mask main body from side to side, and is connected to the hook receiving part of the engaging part with an inverted V-shaped rod-shaped bridge, so that the left and right positions are fixed. The bulging shape of the mouth of the mask body can be maintained, and since the engaging part is a push-in engagement between the hook receiving part and the hook protrusion, it is easy to attach and easy to remove by just pulling.

The effects described in [0010] and [0011] can be obtained even if the hook protrusions of the engaging portion are connected by the inverted V-shaped rod-shaped bridge.

The rod-shaped bridge is connected to either the hook receiving part or the hook protruding part, and is characterized in that it is bent into an inverted V shape that projects in the front direction of the wearer and maintains its shape by residual deformation.

According to the above configuration, the mask wearer bends the rod-shaped bridge according to the shape of his or her face and adjusts the shape using residual deformation, so the bulge space around the mouth of the mask body is adjusted and the outer contact area of the mask is tightly attached. Improves sex. In addition, since the rod-shaped bridge can have a straight shape, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The hook protrusion has a side plane on a side surface of the column shaft, and the hook receiving part has a tip plane corresponding to the plane and is engaged with the hook receiving part. According to the above configuration, the locking tool is prevented from rotating by fitting the side plane of the side surface of the column shaft with the tip plane of the tip of the tongue piece. Since the hook protrusion does not rotate around the column axis, the locking tool does not rotate and become upside down after engaging the mask.

According to the present invention, in a three-dimensionally cut cloth mask, the wearer can easily attach and remove the mask auxiliary device because the locking device has an engaging portion consisting of a hook receiving portion and a hook protrusion. Either the hook receiving part or the hook protrusion is connected by an inverted V-shaped rod-shaped bridge, so that the mask auxiliary device maintains the space around the wearer's mouth when wearing the mask, reducing contact with the skin. It is effective against discomfort and skin irritation due to contact. In addition, lipstick and the like will not stick to the mask body, making it less likely to get dirty and preventing makeup from getting messy around the mouth.

The rod-shaped bridge is made of a material such as polypropylene or aluminum, and residual deformation occurs when the center portion is bent into an inverted V shape by the wearer's weak force, and the inverted V shape is formed inside the mask body. Since the apex portions of the rod-shaped bridges are in contact with each other, a space is created between the mouth area and the mask body, and the bulge with the mask body can be maintained. The residual deformation can be caused by the wearer adjusting the angle of the inverted V shape by adjusting the degree of bending, so the mask body can be adjusted by itself to an angle that suits the shape of the wearer's face. The space between the mask and the mask is adjusted, the adhesion of the outer peripheral contact portion of the mask is improved, and the mask is more comfortable to wear.

The mask auxiliary device of this invention is produced by making a mold using an injection molding product and performing injection molding, but since the shape is simple, the mold cost can be kept low, so the manufacturing cost including capital investment can be lowered.

Until the mask auxiliary device is attached to the mask, either the hook receiving portion or the hook protrusion is connected substantially in a straight line with a rod-shaped bridge, so that the mask auxiliary device can be arranged closely, and Since they can be stacked, they can be stored and transported in a small amount of space.
