Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mask, and more particularly to a mask for preventing asthma from occurring at bedtime or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art Asthma is a disease in which the airways (trachea and bronchi) are narrowed and breathing cannot be performed well. The main cause of asthma is airway inflammation. When given some kind of stimulus, the inflammation of the respiratory tract mucosa worsens, the airway narrows, and asthma results. Some of this irritation includes house dust such as pollen, dust, mites, animal hair, and cigarette smoke. In addition, there is irritation of the airway mucous membrane due to a cold and irritation of the airway mucous membrane due to inhalation of cold air. A hygiene mask is usually worn to prevent house dust and cold air that cause asthma. Gauze is mainly used for the main body of the hygiene mask. Gauze is a coarse-grain knitted cloth made of cotton.
Therefore, this gauze passes cold air as it is.
As a result, when going to bed using gauze, cold air is sucked as it is, and the occurrence of asthma cannot be suppressed. On the other hand, there have been many inventions of masks for preventing inhalation of house dust, cold and cold air. For example, the invention of a health mask provided with a far-infrared radiating material on a portion covering the mouth and nose has been made (see Patent Document 1). This mask focuses on the effects of far-infrared rays, protects the nose and throat from cold outside air during cold weather, and improves the condition of asthma. [0004] However, the above-mentioned health mask, like a normal hygiene mask, is engaged with the ear by an ear-hook string, similarly to a normal hygiene mask. It is to be stopped and attached. When sleeping while wearing this mask, there is a problem that the mask comes off due to contact between the pillow and the ear when turning over. If the mask comes off, it will inhale cold air at bedtime and cause asthma. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mask which does not easily come off at bedtime. Another object of the present invention is to provide a mask that protects the mouth and throat from cold outside air, house dust, and the like that cause asthma. [0007] The present invention according to claim 1 is a mask for preventing the occurrence of asthma, wherein the mask body is made of a tubular cloth that covers at least a part of a face and a head. And a locking member provided on the mask body for positioning the fabric around the mouth and nose.
A pocket is provided in the part to be applied to the nose, this pocket
Inhalation is maintained at the same temperature as expiration
Aluminum sheet with multiple small through holes
The inserted mask . The material of the tubular fabric covering at least a part of the face and the head is not limited. What is fabric?
Woven fabric, non-woven fabric and knitted fabric. Examples of the fibers constituting the fabric include various natural fibers (cotton, hemp, silk, etc.) and various synthetic fibers (polyester fibers, synthetic high-molecular polyamide fibers, etc.). The fabric of the mask body may be any material that is worn at bedtime and does not cause discomfort even when sleeping. When used in the summer, it may be formed using a material such as hemp to prevent perspiration. Also,
Pile material may be used. In cold weather in winter, knit, wool or blanket materials may be used to increase the heat retention. The size of the mask body, that is, the size of the cloth may be a size that covers at least a part of the face and the head and sufficiently covers the mouth and nose. In order to change the size of the cloth, a part of the cloth (corresponding to the back of the head) may be opened and this part may be locked with a planar fastener (trade name: Magic Tape (registered trademark)). Good. Thereby, the size of the circumference of the cylindrical fabric can be changed, and the size can be made to correspond to the size around the face. In addition, by opening and closing from the back of the head, it can be easily attached and detached regardless of the hairstyle and the like.
The mask body is provided with a locking member for positioning the fabric around the mouth and nose. For this locking member, for example, a stretchable elastic material such as rubber may be used. Further, a locking member such as a fastener, a button, a hook-and-loop fastener, or a hook may be used. Further, in order to further enhance the heat retaining property, locking members (for example, ring-shaped rubber strings) may be provided on the upper and lower sides of the fabric, respectively. Since the lower locking member of the fabric is provided around the neck, the elastic force is set smaller than that of the upper locking member. For example, the locking member for the upper rubber ring is doubled, and the locking member for the lower rubber ring is single. Alternatively, the elasticity may be adjusted by setting the lower rubber to be twice as long as the upper rubber. [0008] A pocket is provided on the mask main body and is provided at a portion corresponding to the mouth and nose. In this pocket, for example, at least one of an aluminum sheet, a wool sheet, and an acrylate fiber sheet is inserted. These sheet materials have airtightness and reflect body temperature again. As a result, the intake air is converted into a temperature substantially equal to that of the expiration, and the heat retention effect and the moisture retention effect are enhanced. The sheet material may be replaceable for the fabric. Further, a fragrance may be added to the sheet material to enhance the aromatherapy effect and prevent asthma attacks. Alternatively, a bad breath inhibitor for suppressing bad breath generated at the time of mask coating may be added. further,
A material that silences snoring and creaking may be laminated on the sheet material. As the material to be silenced, for example, a soft material having porosity such as sponge may be used. The aluminum sheet reflects body temperature again,
Enhance the warming and moisturizing effects around the mouth and nose. The wool sheet enhances the heat retention effect like a blanket. As the acrylate fiber, there is a special fiber such as EX (registered trademark) which is excellent in heat retention and moisture retention. These are inserted into the pockets of the mask body to enhance the heat retaining effect and the moisture retaining effect in the covering portion. Further, these sheet materials may be used in combination. For example, an aluminum sheet and a wool sheet may be used at the same time. [0010] Aluminum sheets cannot transmit air. When the aluminum sheet is inserted into the pocket of the mask body as it is and the mask is attached, the air cannot be sucked. Therefore, a plurality of minute (diameter: 2 to 5 mm) through holes for intake are provided in the aluminum sheet. In the mask according to the first aspect, the tubular cloth of the mask body is covered from the head. The mask body, for example,
Position the fabric around the mouth and nose with elastic rubber. Go to bed with this mask on. Thereby, at bedtime, inhalation of dust and dust that causes house dust and asthma can be prevented. In addition, the mask body has heat retention,
A sheet material having excellent moisture retention is inserted into a fabric pocket. This sheet material reflects body temperature again and converts cold air into warm air. Inhale the converted warm air. Therefore, inhalation of cold air can be prevented, and occurrence of asthma can be suppressed. The mask is fixed around the mouth and nose by a stretchable elastic material. If you go to bed with this mask on, you will not come off when you turn over. Further, the back part of the fabric is made to be a spread type, and the length is freely adjustable by a planar fastener. Thus, the size can be adjusted according to the circumference of the head of the wearer (separated by age and gender). Sheet material for equalizing the temperature of expiration and inspiration
Is inserted into a fabric pocket. When the mask is covered, the air in the covering portion is heated by the expiration and the body temperature by the sheet material. Thus, air having substantially the same temperature as the expiration can be taken. Further, by adding a fragrance to the sheet material, the aromatherapy effect (including a good sleep effect and the like) can be enhanced and the occurrence of asthma can be prevented. Further, when a sound deadening sheet is laminated on a sheet material having heat retention and moisture retention, snoring and creaking can be reduced. The sheet material is an aluminum sheet, a blanket,
It is at least one of acrylate fibers. The aluminum sheet is a material that reflects heat when it receives body temperature. The blanket is a material that enhances heat retention. Acrylate fibers are materials that enhance heat retention and moisture retention. When these materials are inserted into the pockets of the mask body, it is possible to convert cold air into air having the same temperature and humidity as the exhaled air and inhale. The aluminum sheet has multiple through holes for breathing.
Number is provided. This aluminum sheet is inserted into a pocket of the mask body. The minute through-holes in the aluminum sheet take in air for inhalation and also discharge air for exhalation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a mask according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
