Description

  The present invention relates to a mask for collecting pollen and viruses, and more particularly to a mask that enables both comfort of wearing and collection efficiency.

  Conventionally, a mask has been widely used for catching a cold, preventing it, or preventing dust from being sucked. Furthermore, the mask is used to relieve hay fever in the early spring when pollen comes in. A general mask has a structure including a mask body that covers a nose and a mouth, and an ear hook rubber for holding the mask body. Recently, in addition to conventional masks that use gauze in a planar shape, those using non-woven fabrics, those that are three-dimensional to improve adhesion, and special filters such as electrostatic filters are used. Have been generalized.

  Examples of the invention aiming at enhancing the efficacy by installing a material separate from the mask body in the mask include the following. In Patent Document 1, a main body cover having an outer shape that surrounds the entire human nose, an adsorbing member that is disposed on the peripheral edge of the main body cover, and adsorbs to the outer peripheral portion of the human nose, and is disposed near the nostril of the main body cover. In addition, a rhinitis pad is disclosed that includes a filter having a large number of fine pores that prevent permeation of fine particles including pollen and the like and can be used in combination with a normal mask. Patent Document 2 discloses a mask assisting device in which a substantially rectangular absorbent cotton having a size covering the periphery of the nostril is covered in a bag shape with gauze. Patent Document 3 discloses a mask in which a water retaining device is installed in the main body of the mask, and Patent Document 4 discloses a mask equipped with a filter that closes the nostril in the mask main body.

  It is known that the collection rate of pollen by a mask is generally high regardless of the type of material and filter such as gauze and nonwoven fabric. On the other hand, it is proved that the collection rate of particles extremely smaller than pollen is high in a non-woven mask combined with a special filter and low in a non-woven fabric or a single material of gauze. However, even if the collection rate of the mask itself is high, there is data that the collection rate is reduced by about 20% if a gap is formed between the mask and the face when worn. In order to avoid such a situation and to apply the rubber for the ear to increase the collection rate, if the mask body is strongly applied to the face, the collection rate will increase, but the ear rubber will bite into the skin, etc. Discomfort increases. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mask that can be adjusted so that the wearer can wear the mask body in a comfortable state, and that has high collection efficiency of pollen and viruses.

  The configuration of the present invention that achieves the above object is as follows.
